DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no

and no man or woman can have healthy
blood and rheumatism at the same time.
They have also cured many cases of
anemia, neuralgia, sciatica, partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataXia and other dis
eases that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment.

KILLED BY A LIVE WIRE
Workman Comes Into Contact With
Power Circuit and Dies
Instantly

H. X Claussen, an employe of the
Eaker Iron works, was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon by coming in con-
tact with a wire carrying 300 volts
of electricity. The accident occurred
on top of the building of the Edison
Electric company on East Main street,
where Claussen was assisting in erect
ing trestles.
In some manner the young man mis-
took the wire carrying the heavy cur
rent for telephone wire and tried to
push 1t out of the way with his bare
hand The high power current instantly
killed him and his body was frightfully
burned before ii could be pulled away
from the death dealing wire.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros
morgue and am inquest will be held this
morning. Claussen came to Los Angeles
three years ago from Seattle, where his
people reside 1t is likely that the body
will be shipped there for interment.

Jesus reveals a deeper meaning to the
command thou shalt have no other
gods before me- declaring this to mean.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. And the
second is like unto it. Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law anu
the prophets Whereupon st. John,
the beloved disciple, gave to us the
added intelligence in spiritual teaching
springing as it does from this new
commandment of Jesus Christ, that
God is Love; for He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love-

''If, therefore, one claims to love God,
and God is to him a mystery he is low

to him is a mystery? If God Is real,
He Is not mystery but revealed Truth.
With the correct understanding of God,
such as st. Paul was amply able to de-
clare to the cultured Athenians, definite
problems may be solved; such prob
lens, for example, as the healing or
sickness and sin by this liberating
Truth.

healing Truth to the disciples would in
dicate that 1t follows a definite law;
but the proof is even more certain from
the fact that Paul gained a similar un-

Comforter he called the Spirit of

ual teachableness were so native to
Mrs. Eddy's consciousness, she was
lifted from bed of pain by this same
Comforter, and restored to perfect
health, after she had been given up as
helpless sufferer. This was in the
year 1866. From that moment she
sought to lay hold of this Comforter or
spirit of Truth, that she might under
stand the fundamental law of Chris
tian healing. Instinctively turning to
her Bible, she sought 1t there; and,
for three years. she continued this
search with unabated energy. Then
she began to write the book Science
and Health, with Key to the Scriptures,
which was first published in 1876.
Principle Is Established
"Since the divine principle of Chris
tian Science is forever established, Mrs.
Eddy has religiously excluded any mere
opinions upon this subject and adhered
strictly to living and declaring this
prirciple of absolute Truth. The re-
suit is that everything within Science
and Health may be said to deal with
this principle, together with its human
application. Thus the true idea of God
has heen presented, not empirically
or experimentally.. but scientifically; /;
with the result that people are healed
from sickness and sin by the simple
reading of Science and Health Far
from being anything strange, this is
in direct obedience to the scriptural
declaration that the truth shall make
you free.

Notwithstanding the old saying that
"A prophet is not without honor save
In his own country, the people of her
own city welcome every opportunity
to evidence their appreciation Of her.
Mayors of her own city and governors
of her state have been pleased to honor
her Moreover, the world at large is
beginning to recognize in her bene-
factor of the race, as the direct result
of her spiritual and redemptive teach
ings. Never intruding her personality
upon any one, not even In her writings,
Mrs Eddy claims nothing more than to
be the discover and founder of Chris
tian Science. In fact, she has charged
