is my hope to lessen this condition in
some degree, and to place you in the
only position that an honest mind can
occupy to examine profitably any ques-
ton worthy of thought, viz: in the
mental attitude of the honest judge,
who goes upon the bench to hold with
even hand the scales of justice, and al
low his judgment to be formed by the
truth, and by the truth alone. 1t is no
part of my purpose to take anything
from you, but to add to the good you
have. l have no quarrel With your
church; 1 simply commend the sweet
ness and love and song of my own,
and thank God for the sweetness and
love and song of yours.
Promises of Gospel
The physical benefits of Christian
Science it's medical virtue, its healing
power are but incidents of what it Is,
of it's reality, and yet these incidents
must not be undervalued, for all the
world knows today that the healing
which Jesus did, the surcease he
brought to human sorrow, the hope he
rekindled, were but incidents of the
abounding redemption he brought, and
the sweet gospel he preached of Gods s
unfailing love. Yet these benefactions
to men, though but incidents of a
mighty mission, proclaim trumpet
tongued, demonstrate indeed the di-
vinity of the messenger. And just as
certainly the healing incidents of
Christian Science indisputably estab-
lish the co-eXistent relationship of
Christian Science and the teaching of
Jesus.
Repeatedly he said to his disciples
and when he spoke to them he as GER
tainly and directly spoke to you and me
by their works ye shall know
them.'' And with striking fidelity and
picturesque force Jesus applied this
severe test to himself. In crucial
period of his mission one of his own
raised the startling and impious ques-
ton as to whether he was the Christ
or a pretender.
Then your human judgment and mine
would have said: Now. now is the aus
picious moment, when this messenger
of God, this master of all learning, all
logic, and the master of all minds of
men. too may easily make an argu-
ment that will satisfy the learned and
unlearned world alike that he is the
Christ, the Son of the living God. 1t is
the moment of all the centuries The
world stands aghast with the stupen-
dous issue of it's redemption hinged
upon the answer. What shall it be?

being made by the people of Long
Reach on the Long Beach Water COM
many. the concern which, with the eX-
ception of a few blocks east OF the
city. has the exclusive privilege OF
furnishing water to the community.
That there is plenty of water In the
reservoirs and wells there seems little
doubt the difficulty apparently being
that the city has outgrown the anti
nuated system maintained by the water
magnates. .4
Mayor F. H. Downs. at recent
meeting of the board of trustees, ex-
pressed himself in the language OF
Pasadena's mayor recently: Either
turn on your water or dig up your
nipes." and there seems to be a growing
sentiment in favor Of an entirely new
municipal plant.
Apparently the water company turns
a deaf ear to the appeals of tie clti-
zens and only replies that If so much
water were not wasted on lawns there
would be plenty of pressure for the
higher buildings.

lest speech of all the ages, spoken with
the simplicity of a child, the sublime
assurance of a God: GO, tell John that
the lame do walk and the blind do see."
That was all it was; not more brief
than conclusive; it touched the high
level of the momentouS occasion, and
hushed to silence through all the march
of the Years every impiouS questioning
of the Christ's divinity
From what have said it is apparent
that our contention is that Christian
Science is religion pure and simple,
a religion of works, a nearer approach
than men have known for seventeen
hundred years to the religion that
Jesus taught in the temple, that he
preached throughout all Judea, that he
so lovingly and tenderly practiced
among all his people. And if it is all of
this, then you want it. every one in the
world wants it; and if it is less than
all Of this, we do not want it, no one
in the world wants it. Wherefore this
contention of ours is the only debatable
question respecting Christian Science:
Is it the religion Jesus brought, taught
and practiced?
Advance of World
Now, what are the essentials of the
religion of Jesus Christ? Evidently a
prime essential to the religion is belief
in God, all powerful and everywhere
present. "Who made all that was
made and pronounced all that he made
good'' infinite in wisdom, power, JUS
tice, mercy, truth and ilove-a spirit to
be worshiped in spirit and truth. Chris
tian Scientists believe in, worship and
adore such God. Do you? Another
essential of the religion of Jesus re-
quires belief in the Christ, belief too,
in the sense which Jesus used the word
trust faith, reliance; belief in and
reliance upon his messiahship; his re-
demption and the salvation he
brought. We accept this wholly, abso
lutely. Do you?
Another essential of the religion of
Jesus requires the acceptance of the
word of God, contained in the old and
new Testaments, as Gods revelation
of Himselm to man, for mans guild
ance to eternal life. Christian Scien-
lists do this. Do you? Another essen
tial of the religion of Jesus commands
the acceptance of the Ten Comand-
ments as Gods laws of requirement and
restriction, to be resolutely kept, one
not less than another. We do this. Do
you? Another essential of the reli-
gion of Jesus is that you shall believe
in the efficacy and duty of prayer. We
do this. DO you? Still another essen
tial of this religion is that you shall

We no longer indulge the belief that
God makes us sick or lame or blind for
some mysterious purpose of his own.
1t is not within the range of reason
able concept of an infinitely good God
that he would deliberately hold in tor
ture and crush in despair pure, sweet
mother for the purpose of making some
bad man better. Being infinitely just,
if he were administering punishment
for reform and dispensing rewards for
virtue, he would cruelty the bad man
and enthrone the good woman.
We believe that God is not only the
embodiment of good, but that he is

LOS ANGELES BOY FALLS
THROUGH TOWER AT VENICE

VENICE June 2S-Late this after
noon while climbing up the helter
skelter, a towering amusement device
at the head of the Midway, Jack PROSE-,
a 9-year-old lad residing at 621 Crocker
street, Los Angeles, missed his footing
and fell through the structure to the
ground, twenty feet below. where he
vas picked up unconscious and bleeding.
j. w. Coleman, the gigantic negro
carried Prose- to the office of DR.. ]. h.
Sands, where a superficial examination
of the boys injuries disclosed a con-
cussion of the base of the skull and
serious body bruises. PROSE-, who was
accompanied by his mother, was re-
moved to Los Angeles for hospital
treatment.

love God with all your heart and'mind
and strength, and your neighbor as
yourself To the keeping of this great
commandment we bend the energy OF
our lives. Do you?
Test of Belief
Do you really think you believe that
God is your strength and your Redeem
er, and yet hesitate to go to God, and
God only, day by day, hour by hour,
for your strength and for redemption
from every i'll that comes to humanity?
If you do L am sure you are mistaken
in your belief. Your belief, your trust,
your faith is in the agency you go to;
your real belief is that the doctor is
your strength, and the druggist your
redeemer. You can not serve two mas
ters, and you can not escape the mex
orable rule, "By their works ye shall
know them" What you really believe,
you do. "As a man thinketh, so is
he."
Christian Scientists believe that
their life is in God, that God is their
strength and Redeemer, and know they
believe it, demonstrate tl-eir belief by
going to God and God only for life,
strength and redemption from all sick
ness, sorrow and sin. You say you be-
lieve that God is the "Great Physician
who heals all our diseases" but do you
really believe it? If you do not go to
the Great Physician, men will think and
God will know you do not believe it.
If the question We're asked every one
of you would say that you believe that
Jesus was sincere in his every decla-
ration; said exactly what he meant
and meant precisely what he said.
Do you really believe it? Jesus said
to his disciples: "The works that 1 do
ye shall do also, and greater" Do you
believe it? If you do you will prove
your belief in his sincerity by doing
these works. He said to the eleven
when giving them the great commission
to carry the gospel to every creature,
in order that they might know whether
they were preaching effectively or not:
"The signs shall follow them that be-
lieve; in my name they shall cast out
devils, they shall speak with new
tongues, they shall lay hands on the
sick and the sick shall recover" Do
YOU believe that he meant this and yet
have you never put it to the test?

H. V. MCCHESNEY,
Secretary of State.
by w. F. GRAYOT,
Assistant Secretary of State -

The reward offered by the Gov
ernor is under the so-called "tollgate
raiders" law of 1897, and is covered
by section 1241 A, of the Kentucky
Statutes, which provides that any
two or more persons banding to-
gether to injure property shall be
guilty of a felony, and upon convic-
tien shall be confined in the peniten-
tiary not less than one nor more than
five years.
This law making such conspiracy
felony thus gives the Governor
power to offer the reward of $500
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of any guilty person.
The law also allows the employ
ment of two detectives to aid in the
work of securing information,
though it provides that not more
than $4,000 per year shall be spent
for this purpose.
The proclamation of the Governor
follows the recent Investigations of
Fire Marshal Mott Ayres into the
destruction of the tobacco beds in
the dark tobacco region of the state
and the returning of indictments at
Princeton by the grand Jury in con-
nection with the burning of the to-
bacco warehouses.
1t is understood that the action of
the Governor will have the approval
of the Dark Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation and the Society of Equity,
and that they will aid in the prose
cution of those who are charged
with being implicated in the disor-
ders.

Frankfort, KY, April 10.-The
following proclamation offering a

ing together of persons for the pur-
pose of destroying such property or
to intimidate persons in charge of
same, is denounced as a felony by
our statutes, and is menace to the
peace and good order of the Com
monwealth.
Nov know We that by virtue of
the authority vested in me by law /
do hereby offer a reward of $500 for
the apprehension and conviction OF
every person who participates in the
burning or injury of any barn or
warehouse wherein is stored any
tobacco. or who participates in the
destruction of any bed of tobacco
plants; such reward to be paid upon
allowance of the circuit court hav-
ing such jurisdiction.
In testimony whereof l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
