LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Continued from Page A

For these reasons there is a radical
difference between Christian Science
healing and the results of drugs, hyp
notism, suggestion, or any material
method. Christian Science cures by
means Of the finger or power of
God. Faith in drugs, hypnotism, or
suggestion tries to get Satan to cast
out Satan; this sort of faith employs
one phase of matter or mortal mind
to work against another. Christian
Science healing is truly education
al; it deVelopes the knowledge and
love of Spirit. Material means and

rule when he said, Either make a

NEED OF WELLS

regard to their water supply. The

small alkali lake. and while a supply
OF fairly good water can be secured
in wells on the townsite, several cess
pools have been sunk almost as deem
as the water bearing strata, and they
fear that the supply will become
contaminated. State Engineer Lea
has volunteered to look over the sit
%uation, and see If he can find any
remedy for the existing conditions at
that place. 1t has been suggested
that an artesian we'll. could be used
to increase the depth of the lake
and to supply the town with water,
and unless the elevation of the place
Is so high as to preclude the secur-
ing Of a flowing we'll. this plan may
be the one adopted to give them q
supply of pure water.

Mss REFERS PIANO RECITAL.

MISS REFERS PIANO RECITAL.
There have been cores of student
piano recitals in the college chapel
but the n given Thursday evening
by Miss Elsie Reber was probably
the best that this generation of stu
dents has had the opportunity of
hearing. Miss Reber Is the only
graduate of the University School of
Music this year. She has faultless
technique and she interprets heavy
classical pieces from Grieg, Chopin,
Mendelsohn and M~oszkowski with
a are sympathy and feeling that
makes them very enjoyable even for
those that have no musical educa-
ton, and who usually find classical
music very tiresome.
A fair sized and appreciative
crowd was out to hear the recital
and the young pianist was the re-
cipient of many beautiful flowers.
