Letter From DR.. Dodson-cIub Visits

Explains DetasseIing Corn

The Farmers Club met in regula
session last Saturday evening witt
over fifty members present and Presi
dent j. A Roy in the chair. DR.
| Hopkins asked for report from tn,
Fair Committee and DR.. Moss re
ported that the committee had con
cluded $1,000 was necessary to max.
creditable display and that abou
Sl.4o0 had been subscribed. The
Police Jury had refused to aid with
an appropriation, but the City Coun.
ell OF Lafayette would meet Monday
evening and probably give a liberal
appropriation. The committee still
hoped TO secure the amount necessary
and hold the fair.
The regular program was dispensed
with and the Club took UP the pro-
position to organize truck growers
association. President Roy read a
paper giving his views on the SUBJ
ject, strongly endorsing the move
ment and pledging his support. He
related his conference with several
at Opelousas, familia
with handling and marketing crops.
and gave much sound and practical
advice as to means of insuring sue
cess in this line of industry. Much
depended on the election of a secre-
'ary. If the produce was raised
market could readily be found and
rucking no doubt would eventually
prove the salvation of Lafayette far
ners. Mr.. Roy said this did not
mean that farmers should abandon
'otton, cane or any other staple crop,
'ut bring about diyersification and
o prevent disaster in case of failure
Il any one crop. Mr.. J. L. Winder.

DIR. Hopkins suggested taking the

Din the proposed association and

louton moved to appoint a COM

sport at next meetinipg. He !

nd thought that with cotton now

expect more favorable conditions

POLICE JUPY.

The Police Jury met yesterday even
ing with all members present except P
X. Landry and S. ]. Breaux Ordinan
ces were adopted providing for special
elections in the Fourth and Eighth
wards on August 10, to take the sense
OF the voters on the question of a
railroad tax for the Franklin and Alb
beville road and the Eunice, Lafayette
and Abbeville road respectively.
Messrs. r. A. VOORHEES, and S. J..
Breaux reported settlements with the
Treasurer Martin and Sheriff Lacoste
and the Jury ordered quietus granted
to each officer.
Mr.. l. A. Broussard asked to present
the matter of the second ward road
tangle. DR.. J. o. Duhon read the min
utes of the road committee appointed
to supervise road work. 1t was cond-
tended that accounts had been APPROX
ed without approval by the committee
or any member of it as provided by
resolution of the committee. Mr.. Brous
sard argued that the present condition
was detrimental to proper road work
and would cause confusion. Mr.. Elias
Spell had been appointed manager by
the committee. Juror Spell contended
the committee failed to meet and it |
was impossible for him to agree with t
Mr.. Elias Spell and that he was will
ing to test the question by vote of
he people of the ward or by vote of
he Jury. If he was right, we'll; if
lot, he would go down. The main
rouble seemed to be as to the manner
# working the roads and the pay
nent for labor, the committee appoint
d to supervise road building not
greeing with Juror Spell. The mat
er was deferred until the next meet
ng to get legal advice.

WOMAN ESCAPES
FROM HOSPITAL
BELIEVED TO BE SOMEWHERE
IN LOS ANGELES
Spouse Underwent Operation, and
When She Left Hospital She Was
in Feeble ondition-Thought
to Be Demented

Mrs. Laura Elizabeth Fame, % years
old, wife of w. b. Fame, we'll known
rancher of Yuma, Ariz., vino escaped
from a hospital in the Arizona town
ten days ago, is thought to be in this
city, and her husband, after a tIreless
search and visits to the homes of nu-
merous friends here, has asked the po-
lice to assist him in finding the woman.
Mrs. Fame made a sensational es-
cape from the Yuma hospital June 8.
She recently had been operated on and
was in a serious condition. During the
absence of the nurse in attendance
Mrs. Fame arose, dressed herself and
taking a suitcase, summoned a cab and
was driven to the railroad station. De-
spite her feeble condition she waited
an hour and half for the train, then
boarded it after buying a ticket to
Los Angeles.
Her escape was detected a short time
afterward, but not until the train had
departed was it learned she was
aboard. The husband took the next
train for this city and has been search
ing for her without avail.
Fame thinks she probably is tenn
porarily demented and may have wan
dered into the hills.
Mrs. Fame is described as being 25
years old, 8 feet, inches tall and has
light, red hair and light blue eyes.
When last seen she was wearing a
white gown.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
RECONClLES BIBLES
CONFLICTING WORDS
EXPLAINS PAUL'S APPARENT
CONTRADICTION
Man Must Work Out Salvation by
Understanding and Following
Example Set by the
NaZarene

On one occasion Paul said, Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved" At another time he
wrote. work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling" The APP
parent contradiction in the apostles
statements has sometimes proven
stumbling block to the seeker for
truth who has been in doubt whether
he should rely on faith to save him
or put his trust in the good works ne
might be able to perform. Christian
Science has a satisfactory answer 70
the question when its teachings are
understood, and all doubt and uncer-
tainty are removed.
According to the teachings OF this
Science, a man is not saved by faith
in the personality of another, neither
is he saved by the good works he is
able to perform in his own strength
He is saved by that faith in God
which can be, and is, demonstrated in
works. James declares that faith
without works is dead" In fact, works
are the only evidence of saving
faith. The faith and the works which
are required are the understanding Of
God and the practise resulting from
such understanding. The faith that
was demonstrated by the Master I'M
derstands what God is and is also

else that is necessary to perfect mar
mony.
The understanding which God i'm
narts overcomeS the false sense or man
and mans real being is discerned. Inc
reward of human effort to understand
and demonstrate Truth is the reallza-
ton that man is and always has peeh
Gods image and likeness. So long as
man lacks spiritual understanding ne
believes in the reality of evil ana MS
own mortality; nevertheless his true
being is spiritual and immortal ana
was never subject to the multltudl-
nous forms of error which belong TO
mortal existence.
Mans Actions Are Proof
The Christian Science explanation OF
what is meant by working out one S
own salvation is in strict accord with
PauPs other statement, believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou smart
be saved.' When Paul and Silas said
this to the keeper of the Macedonian
prison they meant to require or MN
no more than mere belief on Jesus
the Christ as an historical person.
Thev meant that he must believe in
what the Founder of Christianity
taught and proved, that he must ac-
cept Jesus as the WayshoWer, that
he must adopt his way as the way OIL
salvation Jesus proved by his life
and works that the religion which he
taught is the truth, even the truth
that saves from all error and Its et-
fects.
If a man believes as Jesus believed,
he will do as he did. What man
does is the only thing that can reveal,
even to himself, what he really be-
lieves. A mans actions, and not his
words, nor even what he thinks he be"
lieves, are the proof of what he is.
The Master pointed out the way. 1t
is the way of faith and works, and
those who would walk in this way
must put into practise what they
know. Only as they they live what
they learn can they hope to receive
the reward of the faithful. This re-
ward is the true consciousness of be-
ing wherein it is found that God and
ali that he creates is harmonious and
eternal.-Christian Science Monitor.

Man Already Saved
According to Christian Science, man
the real man-is now the image anu
likeness of God, and as such he must

death. The command, Work out your
own salvation" was addressed to NOR
tails living in the belief that error is as
real as Truth, evil as real as good, and
death as real as life. Believing in the
reality of opposites, mortals have a
true conception of neither So long as
they do not understand Truth they do
not enjoy the blessings of Truth, and
until they see error in its true light
they believe in it's reality and power
and are subject thereto. Mortals must
work out of this condition. Mrs Eddy
writes: 1.-THE scientific unity which ex-
lists between God and man must be
wrought out in life practice, and God
will must be universally done"
The spiritual fact of being must be
demonstrated in human experience. In
no other way is it possible to gain the
consciousness of existence which is
saved from evil 1t is true that Gods
man is in no sense subject to sickness,
sin or death, but mortal consciousness
is not man. If mortals had gained the
true conception of man they would
not be mortal. The working out of
ones salvation purifies and elevates
thought, and spiritual reality is
gained. This great work is not ac-
complished in a day. mo man know
eth when the final demonstration of
Truth will be made.
Sin viii Disappear
When it is realized that sin is no
part of the real man and that it af-
fords no true sense of pleasure or salts
faction, sin will disappear. The decla-
ration, "There is no pleasure in SIM"
may amount to but little as theory,
but when this scientific fact is so re-
ceived into ones daily life that it takes
away the false sense of pleasure, then
is faith made manifest in works. When
Truth is understood error is overcome,
out faith without works cannot make
Truth real enough to save from error.
