Probably never in the history of the
world has the prospect for general
warfare been so manifest as 1t is at the
present time. This is a most deplor-
able commentary on the boasted civili-
zation of this age. But the circum-
stances that contribute most to the
awfulness OF the prospect is in the
fact that the nations that pretend to
be the most highly civilized are the

SCIENTISTS WHO ESCAPE HARM
Mrs. Minis Thinks That Mrs. Conger
is Still Alive.

Atlanta, Ga, July 30 Mrs. Living
ston Minis, head OF the Georgia Chris
tian Scientists, gave an interesting in
terview about the Chinese situation.
Mrs. Conger, wife of the United
States minister at Pekin, is Christian
Scientist. Every Christian Scientist
in the world thinks of Mrs. Conger as
safe and in that way they hope she
may escape her seeming peril. Mrs.
Minis said:
christian Scientists meyer focus
mind on anybody because their method
is not human will, mesmerism nor hyp-
notism, but each Scientist who knows
of the seeming peril of Mrs. Oonger
endeavors to think of her as safe and
perfect in the divine mind; that God
is ever present with her, protecting her
and saying her.
''They believe that the nlnet y-first
Psalm, realized, is a sure protection
from all evil; that Christian Science
applies the great truth of the omnipo-
tence and omnipresence of God to all
human conditions"
Mrs. Minis then spoke of two recent
accidents which have lately been a
shock to the people of this state.
In one of these a young man, q
Christian scientist, was thrown from a
car, with companion. The scientist
escaped unhurt while the other man
was killed. Of the two young ladies
who escaped death in the Camp Greek
wreck near McDonough, recently, one
was Christian Scientist, "who held
on to the power and presence of God
as O protection from all ills"
