The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true today Of most pro
prietary medicines. But Peruna has
become SO justly famous, it's merits are
known to SO many people of high and
low stations, that no one hesitates to
see his name in print recommending
Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.

THE LAW AND THOSE WHO ARE
EXCEPTED FROM OBEDIENCE

To the Editor of The Washington Times;
AS rider of the wheel and citizen, 1
have often wondered why it became
necessary for the United States and Dis
trict governments to make a certain
law that they desire and compel citi-
zens to keep and at the same time send
OFT men TO enforce, and. in enforcing
said law, set a bad example by breaking
il themselves.
l have reference to our bicycle police
anc also the letter collector. Both of
them are allowed to travel the streets,
the darkest nights, and no light seem
ipgly is required on their wheels.
But should this be absolutely neces-
sary, / am still at loss to understand
why an officer in citizens clothes. with
badge under coat and in company with
two other friends out for an evening
ride. is allowed to ride with unlighted
wheel and also allowed to pass on by
the officers at Ninth and and Seventh
and G Streets northwest, because he is
All officer.
Now l am a great believer in law, and
good law at that. and in the strict en-
forcement Of that law. But, 1 don't be-
lIeve in inconsistency IN the enforcement
Q: law. and do not see why letter
carrier or an officer on duty or OFF duty,
should not comply with the same.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ON
THEORY OF CREATION
Sermons Preached Yesterday in First
and Second Churches.

The services at the First and Second
Churches OF Christ. Scientist. yesterday
were largely attended by appreciative
congregations. A unique and interesting
feature in the public services OF this
denomination throughout the world is
the fact that every church. each Sunday
in the year. has the same sermon. The
subjects OF the lesson sermons are given
in their Quarterly and consist Of refer
ences from the Scriptures and Science
and Health With Key TO the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy. These sermons are
read In each pulpit by two persons.
known as first and second readers. The
references elucidate the subject and text
OF the days sermon in clear and log
ical manner. and are read alternately
without comment by the readers. This,
with silent prayer. audible repetition Of
the Lords Prayer by the congregation,
and its spiritual Interpretation from
Science and Health" by the first
reader. with a lesson from the Scrip
lures hymns. and benediction, constitute
the service.
The sermon yesterday was on crea-
ton: Us the Universe, Including Man,
Evolved by Atomic Force?" The refer
ences from the Scriptures ranged from
Genesis 10 Hebrews. and the Science
and Health" references explained them.
The teachings OF Christian Science are
that all creation is the expression or
manifestation Of the One Spirit-God-
hence must be. and is. spiritual and
cannot be material. II seems so 10 the
mind OF one Immersed in materialism.
But as We spiritualize consciousness we
shall cease looking through glass dark
ly and see things IN their true light.

While Practically Subscrib-

Encouraged by the recent free confer

prospects of a still larger conference
next fall. many Lutherans are In high
hopes that at last unity of faith and
doctrine will be declared throughout the
many Lutheran synods and independent
Lutheran churches of America. This has
Teen the dream of enthusiasts for years.
and should IL be accomplished. the con-
troversies which have filled libraries will
would be laid aside.
Though the Lutheran synods have al
ways had practically the same faith
perhaps in some details there were
slight differences-there has been no
union among th9rI as whole. In recent
years it has been more and more borne
in upon them. however, that If a close
union were formed. a larger scope Of
work would be possible. and by cooper
alton greater field could be covered.
Watertown Conference.
AT the free conference held in Water
town. Wis. there were present repre-
sentatives of many of the independent
synods of the synodical conference, and
the general council. The movement
which gave birth to this conference was
entirely unofficial. yet the work accom-
pIished caused a great stir in the Luth-
eran churches throughout the country.
An invitation was sent to synods which
subscribe to all the confessions of the
Lutheran church. and 1t is known that
with the possible exception of the gen
eral synod nearly all the Lutheran syn
DDS subscribe TO each and every con-
fession of the church. There were pres
ent at the conference over 200 ministers.
1t was found that there is practical
unity in the faith and doctrine of those
who subscribe to these confessions. and
that there Is little to prevent union
OF the entire church So encouraged
were the promoters of this movement
that plans were Immediately made for
another free conference in the coming
autumn. 4 committee has been appoint
ed to make all the necessary arrange
ments for such meeting in either Mil
waukee or Chicago. 1t is expected that
upward Of LOCO ministers will be in at
tendance.
No Central Government.
Union in the case of the Lutheran
Church does not mean one central gov
eminent OF the entire church Such a
thing as an episcopal form of govern
ment is impossible for the Lutheran
Church in view Of the fact that the
government Of the church is altogether
congregational. But it is possible that
after the unity IN faith and doctrine
has been declared there will be created
4 great general assembly to which all
the synods will send delegates, and in
which the work OF the church will be
