Good Use Demanded.

Mrs. EDDY was fully aware OF the
Importance OF Christian Science, No
one foresaw Its redemptive value go
well as She. It was therefore bur
natural that she should cherish the
right 10 be known as Its discoverer
sired for her labor In behalf OF hui
manity was Il truthful record OF her
life: and the only demand which she
made on her followers was that they
should make good use OF her discov-
cry; that they should preserve and
promote the understanding OF gcnu
Inc, operative Christian Science. SO
that the so-called human mind may
Increase in goodness until the claim
OF mind separate from God disap-
pears.
This being the case. there is not
the slightest reason Tor regarding
Mrs. Eddy with either emotional &C.
stasy or personal worship: but there
Is abundant reason why mankind In
general. and Christian Scientists in
particular, should feel and express
for her the utmost gratitude. love
and reverence.
AS n scientific discoverer and reIig-
ious leader. Mrs Eddy mas been the
means OF giving to the world the
priceless benefit OF a truer concept
of God and man. incidentally, she
has taught mental self-knowledge
that discriminates between genuine
thoughts, which emanate from the
divine Mind. and the illusions OF ma
terial sense. which appear in the
guise or thoughts and constitute
evil; and she has made known
mental practice. including this true
self-6nowledge. which enables the
learner in q large and ever-increas-
ing degree. to recognize and obey the
thoughts OF God and TO resist and de-
stroy aught else.

Miracles of Christ.

But Christ Jesus. tho divine teach

tightening tho world TO verbal in
struction: ne made much use OF tho
object -losson. The healing whloh he
wrought by ''the finger OF God" Chat

a vidid and cogent method OF teach
ing. 1t proved the truth OF his words
The gospels give more space TO these
significant proofs than is given 10
precepts OF parables.
What do these healing works teach?
OF what do they furnish evidence?
What assurance should they convey
to us today? Preceding the answer
TO these questions there are certain
predatory facts which ought 10 be
mentioned, The Greek words that
are usually but not always trans
lated miracle" In the King James
version OF the New Testament do
not mean a supernatural event. Their
meaning varies from an act OF pow
proof. but they do not denote that
which IS supernatural. This Is plain
ly set forth in the Oxford English
dictionary and In other standard
works OF reference.
The Greek word IN the gospels that
is ottcnest used TO refer to the works
OF healing done by Christ Jesus means
n sign and includes the Idea Of evil
dence or proof. This is shown by
what Jesus said at the end OF tho
gospel according to Mark: 'Thesc
signs shall follow them that believe"
The Greek word that is here rendered
"slHps" IS the game word that Is
elsewhere rendered miracle"

God Is Love.

Christian Scientists and other
Christians also agree chat God is
Love. and that His mercy endureth
forever. Yet It Is often believed that
He employs or sends evil. To say this
IS simply 10 call evil good, II is an
attempt 10 get rid OF evil by combIn-
Ing il with good. God could not en-
ploy or send evil without It's being n
part OF His character and attributes;
He could not send evil without hav-

Matter No Entity.

Tho fact is that Spirit Is the only
substance; matter has no actual en-
nty. Matter consists OF material be-
lief, and Mrs. Eddy furnished the
scientific explanation OF material phe-
nomena by saying that Mortal mind
sees what & believes as certainly as
Vt believes what II sees" (Science
and Health. p. S6)
How about the physical body, with
which man seems To be Identified
We shall have a material body until

hood. But we shall not always have

seriousness, individuality, identity, are
more enduring than anything which
the physical senses can perceive.
This illustrates the Elusive nature
OF material sense. The testimony OF
the physical senses is limited to mat
ter and lts phenomena They furnish
no information concerning Spirit.
They take no cognizance OF that which
is spiritual. Hence, as Christ Jesus
pointed out TO Nicodemus, they can
tell nothing OF the real man.

With respect to names and syno-

many differences between Scientists
and others who search the snme
Scriptures. Such disagreement as ex-
lists today Is more practical than the
oretlcal The divergence is moro sub
stantial than formal
For example. we concur that God Is

and have our being In him. Yet
many persons practically desert these
premises by claiming TO have another
mind. and TO live think and DO sepa
rate from God.
The relation OF man to God. aud
the function OF man in the action OF
Mind, was set forth by Christ Jesus
in these words: THE Son can do
nothing OF himself. but what ne seeth
the Father do: for what things soever
no docth. those also docth tho Son

FARM NOTES
By One of the Farmers.

The new hot bed was finished
during the fore part of the week
and tomato, cabbage, eaulifower
and celery seeds were planted.
Chas. Kearney the blacksmith
was out to the farm last Sunday, to
put a shoe on Dan Patch.
After a rest cure of some two
weeks Dan Patch Is about in shape
to take his place hauling waste from
the twipe shop.
During the week past the farmers
were busy getting some ground
ready for seeding, and the coming
week, weather permitting, onion
sets and seeds, radish and lettuce
will be planted.
Officer Sederburg was a farm
visitor Wednesday morning.
Warden Wolfer and Mr.. f. Tenn
pie were farm visitors Sunday after
noon.
a new hog house is to be built
just as soon as plans are drawn and
approved.
Our freak headed calf went into
veal, Friday afternoon.
Texas heads the list of states as
the biggest crop producer. Illinois
second, Iowa third and Minnesota
eighth.
The option on the O'Neal farm
hiss been closed and we understand
that it now becomes a lart of the
New Prison farm.
They say that liquor improves
with age. The longer you keep it
corked the better it is for you.
A noted dairy authority claims
that 80 per cent of the calves which
die before they are six weeks old
either, die from Indigestion, due to
unwise feeding, or from gastric
poisoning, caused by dirty feed pals:
but that's not the cause on the farm.
| It's just an order from the head
office calling for veal, and two
calves went that way Friday last.
