SPIRITUAL IDENTITY OF
MAN IS INDIVIDUALITY

enlist finds this true in every direction
of his activity.
In Science and Health, by Mrs. Eddy,
mage 25S we read, I'VE know no more
of man as the true divine image ana
likeness, than we know of God" Men
are often willing to admit that we DO
not apprehend God through eyes and
ears or in material consciousness, but
they are slower to understand that If
the reality of man ds his likeness to
God. his reflection of the divine image,
then neither do we apprehend man
through eyes and ears and material
sense His identity is spiritual and
must be spiritually discerned.
Joy of Reflection
To persons who have had few ad-
vantages of training cultivated people
sometimes seem colorless all alike
Quiet manners and means of enjoy
ment, inconspicuous dress, give nothing
which the cruder thought can grasp
as Identifying individuals. The higher
standards and interests are so wholly
hidden to persons of less developed
mentality that the joy am educated
man finds in quiet hour alone with
a book is to them stagnation, utter
dullness. They prefer boisterous mirth,
grotesque and extraordinary forms
of amusement. In the same way the
spiritual individuality of man is in
comprehensive to material thought.
The joys of spiritual reflection are un-
known to the intellect of mortal man.
The strenuous delight of the latter in
working out intellectual or other
problems with what he calls will power
and brains seems absent from the calm
and steadfast communion implied in
the word reflection" Mortal man
does not discern the harmony and
beauty that unfold, unseen to the
world, in the spiritualized thought
Such a way of working seems to him
without zest or charm. The man who
eschews the desire to "have his own
opinion" on a subject, choosing rather
to reflect divine Truth, the absolute
so far as he may, seems to the mortal
intellect TO have surrendered his per-
sonal rights of selfhood. But it is not
so for those TO whom are beginning
to be opened the wonders of infinite
Life. They comprehend something Of
what is promised of eternal unfolding
of understanding, a perpetual reveal
ing of true ideas. They know that to
find ones divine identity is to attain
unceasing and perfect accomplishment.

KING EDWARD GIVES
TWO HEROES MEDALS S
Unconscious SteepIejack Taken from
ScaffoId 1870 Feet High to the
Ground in Safety

LONDON, April 16. 1t is an
nounced that the king has awarded the
Edward medal of the first class to
David McWhirter and William Nc
LELAND.
On July s, 1909, two steeplejacks,
with an assistant, were engaged in fix
ing new lightning conductors to a
chimney $50 feet high at the Coltness
iron works, Newmains, Lanarkshire.
The two steeplejacks, who were at the
top of the chimney on a scaffold con-
sisting of two planks nine inches
broad, were affected by gas fumes
from the chimney and one of them be-
came unconscious and fell on the
scaffold.
The other, after tying his mate to
the scaffold by a rope, was able ia
descend by a ladder to the ground and
receive medical attention. Their as
sistant climbed the ladder, but was not
sufficiently experienced to reach the
scaffold.
There was no time to obtain the as
sistance of regular steeplejacks. but
two men employed at the iron works
volunteered. They were David Nc
Whirter and William McLelland. They
both ascended the ladder, got onto
the narrow scaffold and succeeded in
placing the unconscious man in the
"boastswain's chair" used by the stee-
plejacks and in lowering him safely tC
the ground.
Neither of them had previously hat
experience of climbing chimneys, anC
in addition to climbing a vertaical lad
der 1870 feet high they had to deal will
an unconscious man on a narrow, opeT
scaffold, and the also ran the risk o
! being overcome by the gas fumes.

. N APTAIN j. F. LUCEY, head Of the
Lucey Supply company, sees signs
" of danger in the present boom of
the California oil industry.
"People are falling over themselves
to get into the oil business" said the
oil we'll supply man, land 1 firmly be-
lieve that serious setback to the in
dustry is coming. At the present time
capital is plentiful for oil investments
and money seems no object. New COM
panies are springing up like mushrooms
with the result that development work
has practically doubled and the produc-
ton in due course will be doubled, too.
I do not believe that the conditions jus
tify this activity, and if a person stops
to consider carefully the present condi-
tions he will agree with me that pres
ent transportation facilities will not
preserve the equilibrium.
development is going ahead too
rapidly. The experienced oil man knows
how to handle his work and what to
expect of the oil, but the newcomers in
the business do not. Sensational devel-
opment by inexperienced men is what
/ now fear is going to work a hardship
on the entire industry. Capital is now
available, and the inexperienced, along
with the capable oil man, is meeting
with much encouragement from in
vestors, but instead of placing the in
dustry on a more stable basis this Is

northeast quarter f the southeast
quarter of section 13, 2S27, Kern River,
is placing materials on the ground to
shut off the water in its well by the
tamping method The well is 1865 feet
deep with what is believed to be good
oil sand below the 1390-foot level.
The hole is full of water from an up

REACHES OIL SAND

WATSONVILLE. April 14.-Saturday
evening Superintendent Mitchell and
his crew of drillers of the new well of
the Watsonville Oil company, near
Sargent station, announced that the
big oil sand, first encountered at a
depth of about 700 feet, had been cut
to a depth of 100 feet and the drill had
then entered blue shale. 1t is likely
that the casing may be anchored in

stock will be paid off and disburs-
ed in this community, ample funds
being on hand for that purpose.
In addition it is figured that with
the beginning of the new year
there will be a considerable a
mount of money on hand available
for new loans. Parties wishing to
take out stock in the association
should subscribe this month as it
is more advantageous to begin
with the new year. While the ap-
portionment has not as yet been
made for the past year, it is
thought that the earnings will be
about up to the average or II per
cent.
