DR.. FLUNO'S LECTURE
Attentive Audience Gives Closest
Following 10 His Thoughts.

A good sized audience gathered at
the Masonic opera house Sunday after
noon in response to announcements
and upon invitation of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist. to hear a
lecture upon Christian Science, deliv-
cred by Francis ]. Fllino M. D., C. s.
D., member of the Board of Lecture
ship of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston,
Mass.
DR.. Fluno's Address.
DR.. Fluno said in part: Christian
Science is the law Of God CScience
and Health" page 482, line 81 known,
understood and found demonstrable,
1t is the science of being, the science
of life. 1t is the knowledge OF truth
and true being, reduced to a system.
Its name defines it, for it is perfectly
Christian, because it. countenances no
wrong, either in theory or practice.
1t is scientific, for 1t admits of no err
ror, either in promise or conclusion.
Christian Scientists are indiyid.
uals who have found this truth and
found it to be true; found Christian
Science end found it to be scientific,
and are succeeding in a measure to
demonstrate it upon themselves and
others who come to. them for help.
The Bible and Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, are the textbooks of
Christian Science. Christian Science
is not another religious belief; it is
science. And science is something to
be understood and demonstrated, not
merely believed. Christian Scientists
are studying to understand Christian
Science, but not trying to believe it.
Christian Science is not something
that Mrs. Eddy has created or invent.
ed. 1t is what she has discovered
and given to the world. Science and
Health and the Bible, when rightly un.
is the only Mind and the so-called
mortal mind is but the carnal mind,
that must be corrected by divine Mind.
Christian Science is not the mere
superficial idea of not speaking evil
or not talking sickness, but that sick
ness and evil are not the facts of be-
ing; they therefore are not only I'M
profitable topics of conversation, but
are not true, and If spoken of at all.
they must be exposed as errors and
not facts of being. ..s-1...
Christian Science teaches there is
no reality in SIM that God made all
that was made and all He made was
good; that God did not make sin.
Therefore, sin, sickness, pain, and
death, evil, error and discord OF all
kinds do not belong to God nor to His
creation, and are no more part of
the great fact Of being than the errors
and Misunderstanding of mathematics
are part of the science OF numbers.
Christian Science teaches All is
Mind, there is no Matter And the
Scriptures declare Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but my word shall
not pass away What does this teach
but that all matter and materially
shall pass away, but the Divine Mind
and His idea shall remain forever"

million dollar defense fund will moi
be established by the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners o,
America if the delegates to the diem
NAL convention stand by the recon-
mendatiOn of their constitution com
mittee. In its report the COMMITTEES
will attempt to put quietus upon the
defense found agitation with the claim
that the plan would have a tendency
to incite strikes. Agitation of the de.
Tense fund question has been rife in
the organization for some time. Sew.
sral amendments to the constitution
providing for the establishment OF
such a fund have been proposed, but
in its report the constitution commit.
tee has failed to concur in the plan.
The plan, which the committee as
serts would be an incentive to
strikes, was possessed by local union
No. 476 of New York City. This local
would have the general Office of the
organization take charge of the finan.
cial support of every strike. It
would create a minimum fund of ST.
100000 for use in the work. The plan
provides a sliding scale of from So
to SO for the payment of benefits to
members of the organization who are
locked out or on strike. Delegates to
the convention will have the final set.
Element of the question. The report
of the committee will be submitted
to the convention for action sometime
during the week. 1t is expected that
the committees attitude regarding the
defense fund will be upheld by the
delegates.

FARMERS ENJOY. LlFE

The Grange Picnic on Saturday
Scored a Success.

| The farmers picnic, promoted
Jointly by the Lincoln and Buckeye
Oranges, and held at the Iowa Yearly
Meeting House on Saturday, was a
success and afforded a pleasant days
outing for something over one hun
dred people. The weather being dis
agreeable and the roads bad, the at
tendance from Buckeye was small
and compelled the bali game between
the two Oranges To be abandoned.
But there was ball game just the
same. The boys and the married
men played about three innings. The
married men acquired two scores and
lot of sore muscles, while "the kids
ran up something like eleven runs
and then lost the score sheet. But
it was great game just the same.
And the picnic dinner surely left
nothing to be desired 1t was either
E. X. Taylor or Willis Pettitt who
said that the ladies of the two Grang-
es were not only the best looking in
the land, but they were also the best
cooks--and nobody present on Satur-
day has had any reason for question
ing the statement.
Owing to the rain of Friday night
entire program of the day was carried
over to afternoon and the exercises
were held in the Yearly Meeting
House. /. w. Taylor was chairman
of the day and music was furnished
by a chorus made up from the Lin
coin ad Buckeye Oranges. Miss Flora
Moore, of Buckeye, sang beautiful
solo. The address of the day was
made by Prof G. r. Bliss, who also
acted as umpire in the ball game.
Some of the boys said he was not up
on the rules of the game very we'll,
but after his address there was not
single person who would deny that
he knew lot about farming, and was
able to impart lot of information to
his hearers that will do them great
good in their work.
Prof. Bliss said that the farmers
could not have too many organizations
and that business and social gather
ings of the people of a community
would do much toward keeping chill
dren at home and in making farm
life more cheerful. He also said that
united efforts would help increase the
productiveness of the land, by kill
ing out noxious weeds and preventing
the multiplication of destructive in
sects. He declared that the corn SCOT
worm alone has cost the farmers Of
Iowa as much as $25,000,000 a year.
This can be eradicated by united et-
forts and by proper rotation of crops,
Prof. Bliss further urged the preserya-
ton of seed corn during the coming
week and took occasion to compliment
Oskaloosa and Mahaska county in be
ing able to secure the Ames Short
Course two years in succession. His
talk from beginning to end was inspir'
ing and most helpful.
The day throughout was most en-
joyable and will bear good fruit. Judg.
ing by its success in the face of ad-
verse circumstances it will not be
the last occasion of the kind and the
prediction is freely made that by this
time next year there will be more
than two Oranges in the county to
Join in the second big annual outing.
