AUGUST AHEAD OF
JULY FOR FORDS
Cleveland Branch Shows Increase Over
Hot Month, and Usual Dull
Period Becomes Record
Breaker

The Cleveland branch of the Ford
Motor company sold and delivered more
cars in August than in July this year.
Already in September it has orders for
nearly as many as all of July, which
reached the three-quarter hundred
mark This record is evidence of the
popularity of this type and indicates
the big demand for a satisfactory low
priced car,
The recent handling of one days out
put of the Ford Motor company's fac
tory-123 cars-in one train-required
forty-one cars to>accommodate the au-
tomobiles. When the train was made
up it mes sured one-third of mile.
Not only was one record broken In
the shipment. but another went down,
for the entire trainload was destined
for Minneapolis, Mimi, and was the
largest single consignment ever made
to an automobile selling agency. Fur
ther interest is added by the fact that
this shipment of 123 cars brings the
total Ford shipments to Minneapolis
this season well over the 1000 mark.

: shipment from HOrnsiIver

GOLDFIELD, Sept. ia shipment
of fourteen tons has just been made
by j. w. Crane from the Sunset claim
at Hornsilver, owned by Jack Murray
of this city. The ore Is said to run
about s27 to the ton. 1t was conveyed
by wagon to the Nevada a-Goldf1eld Re
duction works.
Crane Iaa a lease on the property,
and is saf1 to be in line to make a
big production. His shaft is 100 feet
deep. and il is reported that he has
about four feet of ore that will run, on
an average. more than $40 ton. The
Murray property is located one and 4
half miles east OF the Great Western.
The values are said to be increasing
with depth. and the Crane leasers are
exceedingly optimistic.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. I'm. L.
Buckley of the Spec Mining company,
operating on lower Lynx creek with a
dredging machine, has deposited with
the Bank of Arizona the proceeds of a
limited run that went to 5000. Recent
flood waters which passed down that
stream are said to have caused consid-
erable damage to placer works located
along that creek. and several dams are
washed out. The run of the Spec
dredger was the first test, and this re-
CENT was the result of that short run.

It is not improbable that within a
short time all of the collections and a
part of the delivery of Uncle Sam S
mail in Indianapolis will be accom-
plished with motor cars. Three cars
are now in use and the work has been
so successful that the postmaster of
that city is desirous of securing sew
eral additional ones. Three horse
drawn wagons have been withdrawn
from the service, and 1t is claimed that
each of the motor cars is doing the
work of three horses.

Cadillac Does II

A Cadillac thirty has recently made
the journey from Sydney, on the south
ern coast of Australia, to Normanton,
on the gulf of Carpentaria, at the
north-being the first motor car to
cross the great Australian continent
under it's own power, and the only one,
inasmuch as two other cars which es-
sayed to make the trip were forced to
abandon 1t.
Practically every foot Of the $500
miles was through sand, scrub, bush,
rocks and desert, with no nearer ap-
proach to a road than rough foot
trail. At times it was necessary to
climb grades which rose one foot in
three and one-half, with the wheel
axle deep in sand.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
POINTS OUT WAY TO
LIFE EVERLASTING
THAT DYING is NECESSITY IS
NOT ADMITTED
Mrs. Eddy's Religion Teaches That
Death Can Be cireumVented by
Following Example Set
by Nazarene

Among the first remarks made by one
who knows nothing of Christian Sci
ence, on hearing OF its healing power,
is But we all have to die" This re-
mark doubtless expresses the general
belief in the futility of any effort to
actually overcome death. That dying
is a necessity neither Scriptural teach
ing nor Christian Science, which Is
based on Scripture, admits. That NOR
tails do die to human sense is sadly evil
dent. One OF the problems OF the ages
has been to find the secret of life and
by so doing to avoid death. After
working for centuries with material
hypotheses, including ocCultsm and
spiritualism, mortals find themselves
no nearer the solution of the problem
than before. The answer is not to be
found In matter nor through material
That which never gave life
and which has no life in it cannot
teach one the secret of life. Ever since
her discovery of Christian Science, Mrs.
Eddy has been pointing steadfastly to
the fact that the teachings of Jesus,
when understood and practically ap-
piled, are a present salvation from sin,
disease and death.

Showed Way to Life

Jesus came for the express purpose
of showing us the way to life. Read
his words as reported by st. John (re-
vised versions: Il came that they
may have life, and may have it abund-
antly." Also; 1T is the Spirit that
giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing;
the words that l have spoken unto you
are spirit and are life" What are
these precious words of Jesus? How
much has the world considered them in
it's search for life? Have not these life
giving words been interpreted by most
theologians to mean life after death,
or to apply to a religious life apart
from ones daily living? Yet Jesus did
not so qualify his statements; and he
gave abundant proof that they applied
to human existence by healing the
dying raising the dead and finally by
raising himself from the dead. 1t is
clearly stated that he had the same
flesh and blood after as before the
crucifixion. Had dying taken him to
God there would have been no need
either of his resurrection or his as
cension, for perfect unity with God is
the ultimate of mans being.
What was it that gave Jesus the
ability to overcome death? He declared
it an ability not his alone, but that it
could be shared by all mankind. He
said, He that believeth on me, the
works that do shall he do also. >
Certainly it was no bodily condition of
Jesus that gave him life. At no time
in his career did he resort to a special
diet or to physical exercise, neither did
he use material remedies. 1t was not
a theoretical spirituality which enabled
Jesus to overcome death, but 1t was his
practical understanding of Truth. AS
Mrs Eddy says, "It was the consum-
mate naturalness of Truth in the mind
of Jesus, that made his healing easy
and instantaneous"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-13
Jesus Sets Example


While many religions teach that we
must copy Jesus example, Christian
Science alone tells us how to make
his teachings practical, how to express
in daily living the qualities OF divine
mind. These ife-giVing qualities are
set forth by Jesus in his words and
deeds. Perhaps the most important
are humility, meekness, forgiveness,
compassion, charity, mercy honesty
purity, fearlessness, justice, WISDOM
gratitude, joy, conservation, peace,
unselfishness goodness, spirituality
and love, love which is impartial and
impersonal, love of good.
Our great Master also taught the
effect of indulging in opposite, false
qualities. He said "Sin no more lest
a worse thing come unto thee" We
are told that he was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without
sin. This indicates no supine goodne IS
but a scientific understanding OF his
divine right to overcome the world, the
flesh and the devil: Pride in his abil-
ity to perform the so-called miracles
may have tempted him but he calmly
met it with, II can of mine own self
do nothing" How often he had ap-
parent cause for resentment and self
pity at the cruel, treatment he received!
Yet we find no trace of such feelings;
instead we hear him saying, "Father
forgive them, for they know not what
they do" How often the myriad forms
of fear surged before him, only TO
be put down with the Peace, be
still" One cannot associate fear with
the life of Jesus How much of the
time are the lives of his supposed
followers free from it?
The spiritual sense of life which
Jesus had was a well-spring of joy. Be
cause of the absolute unself1shness and
purity of his joy it could not be taken
from him. 1t is an old saying that
mankind falls by the way for lack of
joy in the journey. The Bible says,
1.-THE Joy of the Lord is your Strength B."
We need to sweep away self-deception
and face our own belief regarding life
and joy. If we seek joy selfishly, or
think 1t can be found in earthly con-
ditions, we shall be disappointed. One
cannot eVade the law of reaping what
he sows. "He that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting"
Such mental qualities as malice, hate,
anger, resentment, self-righteousness
self-pity, self-love and all the brood of
evils that spring from selfishness, rob
the one who manifests them of his JOY
and lead to death. The opposite Godlike
qualities were manifested by Jesus with
ever-increasing power. At last his en-
tire being was identified with them,
and. every mortal thought was elimiz
mated. BY this process mortality van
ished, for there was nothing left which
could die.
Why should we not awaken today
from the lethargy of acquiescence to
death and begin to understand Christ
ian Science? AS this understanding
broadens we shall be able to express
more and more the life-giving qualities
which constitute undying man.-Christ-
