KITTEN DEFENDS BABY
MASTER FROM SNAKE
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
TN the mountains of California there
was little boy of years named
Il Ben. His father had just bought
the large ranch on which they were
lieving. The house they were in was only
a shed, and the floor had many large
holes between the boards.
The only playmate little Ben had
was a small, gray kitten, which ne
treated very cruelty. He would pull
its tail or hit it and when it cried ne
would laugh and hit it again. 1t was
for this reason Ben called the kitten
s'Crybaby." Ben treated Crybaby so
badly, but the kitten never scratched.
one day as Ben lay sleeping on the
floor a large rattlesnake came creep
ing UP through one of the holes in the
floor. Crybaby was watching 1t very
carefully. The snake came cautiously
toward Ben and was ready to bite the
baby when Crybaby suddenly jumped
upon the snake and killed it, thus re-
turning good for evil.

asked me if she could play I told her
no and pulled her hair About three
weeks after I was going home from

lot of books in my hand.
I slipped on the sidewalk and hurt
my side. I did not see Dolly coming
and sat on the walk for a minute or
two. She asked me if I was hurt and
picked up my books and umbrella.
I was sorry that I had been SO
naughty and told her j was sorry for
all the naughty things that I had said
OF done. She helped me up and took
me home My mother was surprised
and glad to see me with her. She said
she had prayed often that | would be

BOY FoRGETS ENMITY
WHEN DANGER THREATENS
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Il HAVE written once before to you,
but never won the prize, but the
a old motto. If you don't succeed,
try, try again, sounds good to me.
and I am trying it.
1t was on a cool morning in May
when Walter was on his way to school;
his thoughts were on one boy, his en-
emy, who said he was going to catch
Walter and give him a licking. Wal
ter had to go through an orchard, and
lust as he reached the center of it he
saw this boy closely followed by two
other boys advance toward him.
STOP said his enemy. i've got
you now and am going to give you
licking. Come on, fellers, let's throw
him down" A hard struggle followed
and Walter found himself thrown
heavily to the ground. While two boys
held him down his real enemy jumped
up and down on his helpless body.
II guess he's got enough now," said
Walters enemy, and the three walked
away.
Walter got up, but was compelled TO
sit down, for he was so sore. After
some time he got up once more and
started for home.
One week later Walter was well. He
went down TO lIle ldhe ilSdI ny AhA
found a large crowd all watching some
bow out in the lake struggling for his
life.
without one moments delay Walter
threw off his hat and shoes, sprang
into the water and swan toward the
boy. To his surprise the boy was his
enemy, but Walters heart was too
pure toilet him drown, and with his
enemy's arms around his neck he
made with all his strength for the
shore. When a few yards from the
shore Walter gave way, too. Two men
rushed out and got the boys in time,
and when the boys came to again they
were at Walters home. His enemy
asked for forgiveness, which he re-
ceiyed, and they were the best of
friends forever more.

him, dragged him in and closed Tie

and turned it upside down. 1t broke IN

on the head and killed him instantly.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T HERE were three or four naughty
boys in our village. These boys
"A We're always robbing my grand
pas cherry trees. One day grandpa
came to grandma and said: 81 have
scheme to break those youngsters from
taking my Cherries" He told her to
prepare a large dinner for the follow
ing Saturday. Grandpa then sent in
vitations to six of the boys of the viii
lage to come to his house to dinner
on the next Saturday.
Saturday came, and with it the boys.
They were at first quite shy about ap-
preaching grandpa but they soon got
over this. Grandma had prepared
nice dinner for the boys and had
spread the. table in the orchard under
a big tree.
After the boys had eaten dinner sew
eral games were played and prize
was given to the winner of each game.
The prizes were kites fishpoles and
things that boys enjoy.
1t was almost dark when the boys
finished their games and grandpa then
took them to the barn and told them
to help themselves to all the cherries
they wanted.
The boys took some cherries and
started home. They had not gone very
far when they stopped and talked
about something Then one of the
boys came back and told grandpa that
it was they who had been taking his
cherries and that they were very sorry.
You may be sure that grandpa's trees
were never robbed again.
Later friend asked grandpa how
he had gained so much favor with the
by returning good for evil"

M. E BISHOP SMITHS VIEWS
ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

1t is true that Christian Science de- !
MES the reality of matter, but in the
light of Bible teaching IN regard to
matter, it can hardly be said to deny
reality. ''It is the spirit that quick
eneth; the flesh profteth nothing"
John, 6:63.
For the flesh lusteth against the
spirit, and the spirit against the flesh;
and these are contrary the one to the
other.' GAL, 5:17. "Flesh and blood
can not inherit the kingdom of God"
l. Cor, 1850. Christian Science teaches
that God is omnipotent, and ''real-
ity' could oppose Omnipotence or Om-
all power. On the other hand, Christ
ian Science honors reality by teaching
that only that is real which God, Spirit,
made. and that therefore matter and
sin are unreal, in this sense, that they
are not God-made, and therefore not
eternal.
Let me quote from a reply to
clergyman by Alfred Farlow, the head
of the Christian Science publication
work in Boston.
''The teaching of Christian Science
that there is no matter, does not mean
that creation is unreal, nor that man
is unreal, but it means that it is not
what it seems to material sense; that
in our present immature condition we
do not see things as they are. Paul
says, Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed Ey the
word of Gtd, so that things which are
seen were not made of things which
do appear It is the misconception
and not the thing itself which is re-
pudiated by Christian Scientists. Sci
ence teaches one to look beyond the
| material mutable things Of life to the
spiritual and immortal; to look beyond
the material sense of sustenance to
Spirit, in whom, as the Scriptures de-
clare, we live, move and have our
being 1t has regard to the saying of
| the Master: THE life is more than
meat and the body than raiment.' 1t
teaches that existence is not dependent,
as it appears, on material substance,
but upon God, who not only creates
but upholds all things.o

Editor Advertiser.-In your paper of
February l, you report sermon by
Bishop Smith in which Christian Science
is criticized, very mildly to be sure, but
nevertheless with an incorrect concep-
ton of its teachings 1t is said that
Christian Science is neither Christian
nor scientific, and that it denies all
reality. Surely religion can not be
called unchristian which demands of its
followers some practical proof rather
than mere profession, that they "'be-
lieve' that is, understand the teach
ings of Christ, proof that Jesus him
self demanded, the overcoming of sin
follow them that believe; in my name
shall they east out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover" Mark, 16:17,
IS. Christian Science is scientific in
that it is a demonstra BILE teaching; it
calls for proof or demonstration of the
truth of its statements In the Christ
ian Science textbook, Science and
Health, it says, page 1913, "Christian
Science differs from material science
but not on that account is it less sci.
entific. On the contrary Christian Sci
ence is prominently scientific, being
based on truth, the principal of al
seience,O and on page 126, eff God
the All-in-all, be the creator of the
spiritual universe, including man, then
everything entitled to a classification
as truth or science must be comprised
in knowledge or understanding OF
God, for there can be nothing beyond
illimitable divinity"
Advance steps even in material sci
ence have met with opposition. A few
hundred years ago men were perse
cuted for believing what the Who'll,
world accepts today as scientific fact
Calico was forbidden to hold OF teacl
the Copernican theory, and forced t,
retract his belief in the teachings o
astronomy, today universally accepted
If the teachings of Christian Scienc
are understood, it will be seen that i
does not deny all reality, nor any real
ity at all, but denies only that whic
is evil or contrary to the nature 0
