If men We're promised to be sudden
ly transplanted in a body to country
where the only possible action of any
sort of power should be good, not all
would accept the offer. Unfortunately
many men cling to the possibilities OF
evil chances as giving zest to expert
ence. Others would even choose GER
tain evils, as more pleasant than good.
But there are many who If told that
they might enter a kingdom absolutely
governed by God for the constant
blessing of His people, would think the
news too good to be true. Yet the her
aiding of this kingdom of good and the
pointing of the way thither was eX-
actly the work of Jesus That all
power and rule belong to God, good,
is what Christianity means. Christian
Science is showing men how to prove
this in their own experience.
IAN absolute faith that all things
are possible to God" is what Mrs. Eddy
points to in the first paragraph of the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" Absolute faith shuts out rela-
tive faith. Faith in God to be abso-
lutte must deny faith in all that con-
tradicts His perfectness. If God can
have invented sin, sickness and death,
arranged IOI llGlIit NOlhtc III StCll a
way as to make them possible, He is
responsible for all aufferings. This de-
nies the goodness Of God. But the
very first coming of the Messiah TO the
darkness of earth was heralded by the
promise Of peace, freedom from suf-
fering. The life of the Master through
out gave the people freedom from suf-
fering. He showed them in his own
life as we'll as in thousand of his
immortal sayings, that God is good
That this is the plain teaching Of the
Gospels all Christians admit; yet the
world has gone on suffering ever since
Jesus day. Is 1t partly because it has
not heartily chosen good?
is RENEWING OF FAITH
Christian Science is a renewing of the
faith of the people in the truthfulness
of Jesus teachings, in the possibility of
obedience to his commands. 1t brings
also what is a new sense of Truth to
the earth, though it was plainly not
new to Jesus, in showing that spiritual
truth is the whole truth. Truth Is

farmyard seem to be affected adverse
ly, for even the horses have a strong
aversion to eat grass which has been
polluted by the presence of locusts, and
unless very hungry they will not touch
it.
The advance of the locusts takes
place as follows: First a few pioneers,
the advance guard of the vast army,
then the main body of the army, host
which is as invincible as it is destruc-
tive. All true locusts are migratory by
nature, for the simple reason that, be-
ing gregarious in their habits, it would
be impossible for them to exist with
out continual migration.
The ground on which they settle is
completely cleared in few hours, and
they must perforce seek other fields
and pastures new, where they can re-
peat their depredations. For the same
reason the destruction which they ef-
feet is purely local. One district may be
completely devastated, while another
few miles away is altogether spared
from their presence.
When the locusts have eaten their
fill the females commence to deposit
their eggs, which they do by making
an opening in the ground, in which
the eggs are laid. The infant locusts
soon make their appearance, scarcely
SO large as pea, hopping about in
countless swarms. In this stage Of
their existence they have no wings,
but progress by hopping. While in
this state-that is, before their wings
are developed-they must be ruthlessly
destroyed.
Long trenches are dug, into which
the choppers" are driven by rows Of
men, women and boys armed with
branches of trees, with which they
beat the ground, driving the insects in
the direction of the trenches. On the
opposite sides of the trenches sheets Of
galvanized iron are placed upright so
as to form an effectual barrier.
On arriving at the trenches the chop
pers" fall into them and cannot easily
make their way out, especially as
their progress is barred by the wall Of
galvanized iron in front of them, the
smooth surface of which affords them
no foothold.
The trenches are soon filled with mil
lions of young "hoppers," the weight
of those above crushing to death the
under strata of their fellows. Earth
is then shoveled on the top of the
seething mass of insects, and they are
thus smothered and killed.
This is the most effective method of
exterminating the locusts, but In order
to insure the success Of the operation
1t is necessary that the attempt should
be properly organized and that all the
neighbors should act In concert
