Clean Thoughts and Good
Health.

In view of what has been here said
it should be evident that Christian
scientists have no fanatical objection
to drug medicines, or other material
curatives, as such. The Christian
Scientist dispenses with material
medicines under no species of COM
pulsion, but as q matter of volun-
tary choice, based upon his observa-
ton and experience. If material
remedies were capable of doing all
that is claimed for them by their en-
Ithusiastic advocates, they would yet
| fail to meet the requirements Of the
Christian Scientist, for tho reason
that the whole system of material
medicine is devoted solely to physical
conditions which the Christian Sci
enlist understands to be only effects,
not causes.
Consider in this connection the
matter of germs. The bacterioloGist
| for the time being occupies the CEN
ter of the medical stage, and tells
us that the chief foe to the well-be-
| ing of humanity is an infinitesimal
material organism called a microbe.
Carried on the swift wings of fear,
the germ theory has within a few
years quite generally infected human
thinking, and strong men every
where tremble in apprehension of
the rayages of these microscopic
monsters. Fortunately a glimmer
or two of light is disccrnable through
this dark cloud. 1t is observed, for
instance, that under certain favor
able conditions of the body the
germ is unable to operate, and it is
beginning to be realized to some en-
tent also that persons who live clean
Hives are least susceptible to contag-
ion. 1t is too much to hope that one
day may everywhere appear the dir
oct relation between clean thoughts
and clean lives, and the further coin
cidence of purity of heart and that
state of the body that is not favor
able" to the business of the germ ??
There would seem to be at least some
Significance in the fact that Chris
tan Scientists, who put not their
trust in filthy serums, enjoy as a
general rule an increasing measure
of good health amidst the myriads
of microbes.

DOQy CO1Iu De the CAUSE VI uioeaoo'
for matter of which the body is
composed, cannot do anything of
and by itself. Matter does not have
initiative or intelligence or creative
power. It cannot make itself sick
or we'll, weak or strong, alive or
dead. The things matter appears to
do are done always by something
else. If a dozen bricks be placed on
end in a row, with regular intervals
between, and brick number one be
toppled against brick number two,
|all the bricks in the row will one by
lone fall. Number twelve brick clear
lily was knocked over by number
eleven, which in turn fell because
Of number ten, and so on back to
number one, and to the hand that
toppled it. Here we have merely a
series of material effects. But what
caused the hand to move? We OBJ
serve we are now approaching the
actual source of the disaster to the
row of bricks, and that it was not
material but mental. Thus if every
so-called physical action, whether in
the body or in that which we call
nature, were to be traced to its alb
solute beginning, it would be neces-
sary to go on back through success
sive so-called material causes until
one should come to either intelli-
gence or its counterfeit.
In this way it at least indicated
the reasonableness of employing in
| aid of the sick mental method by
which we may look beyond the Wis
libby bodily effects for the actual orr
gin of the difficulty. But it is evil
dent, that a system devoted solely to
the healing of physical disease would
not be entitled to be termed Chris.
| tian Science. The fact is that Chris.
tian Science healing is spiritual
healing, in which the physical bene-
| fits, notable as they may be, are but
incidents. This healing is always
and only the result of moral or spirit
ual regeneration. 1t is the fruit OF
Intelligent, applied righteousness
Christian Science healing can be
practised best by those who are pur.
est in heart, and it's effects could
not be otherwise than good.
Christian Science, therefore, il
unique in both means and aims, and
it does not resemble in any import
ant respect systems, whether menta
or physical, that strive only to make
humanity comfortable in material
sense of existence, that involve nc
moral standard whatever, and thai
lcould be employed as readily for i'm
proper as for proper purposes. With
these distinctions clearly in view one
may understand how far removed !!
this spiritual healing from whatever
might be attempted through the use
of human WILL meptal suggestion, OF
any, "mind-over-matter" process and
one may also understand why vari
GUS latter-day attempts at combining
|hypnotism with religion and medi
Icine have failed to achieve anything
comparable with the good works tha
are being wrought through Christ
ian Science.

Discovery and Establishment.

Gods ways are not our ways.
Many a milestone along the high
road of human progress is likewise
the gravestone of some cherished hui
man tradition. Epochs ever have
entered contrary to schedule, in viO-
lation of the code. And SO it was in
keeping with historic precedent that
when the established order of things
intellectual and ecclesiastical had
settled itself complacently in the
conviction that masculine mantality
was the exclusive medium through
which truth might be permitted to
reveal itself to mankind, the afore-
said established order should be con-
fronted with the, to it, shocking fact
that divine Science was being re-
duced to the human apprehension of
this age through the pure spiritual
ity of a woman. The established or
der of thinking at first but arched
it's imperious brow, then smiled in
diligently, then laughed outright:
later it frowned, then scoffed, and
finally let loose it's batteries Of per-
secution, both open and concealed.

Porto Rico as a Market
 for. American Manufactures

Porto Rico promises an enlarged market in 1917 for the products of the factories and farms of the United States Reports from that Island ln- dicate that the sugar crop, Of which the manufacturing season has just begun, will be the largest in the hls- tory of the Island and, at the present high prices, will add greatly to its purchasing power. A compilation by the Foreign Trade Department of the National City Bank of New York shows that the trade between the United States and Porto Rico will, in the year which ends with this month. exceed $100,OO0,000 against about $75,OO0,O0O in 1915, $65,000,0O0 in 1914, $59,O0O,OOO in the fiscal year, 1910, $3O,OO0,O0O in 1905 and ST. 50O,000 in 1899, the year of annexa- ton. Merchandise sent from the United States to the Island in 1916 will aggregate about $40,0OO,OOO value against $32,000,000 in 1914, $27,00O,OOO in 1910, 100000 in 1905, and $4,OO0,OOo in 1899. The value of the merchandise passing out of the Island in the calendar year 1916 will aggregate $75,00O,OO0 against $42,OO0,000 in 1914, $38,0O0,- 900 in 1910, and $1O,O00,000 in 1899. About 90 per cent. of the merchan- disc passing out of the Island is sent to tho United States and about 95 per cent. of the merchandise entering the Island is composed of the domestic products of this country, being chief ly cotton goods, boots and shoes, ma chineFy, manufactures of iron and steel, -four. meats, rice and fertilizers.

Miss Fenton expended $25 for medicaT at tendance and $15 for nurse accord. ing to receipted bills. which she filed with the compensation commissioner. He sent a report to the board of edu- cation about year ago advising the members that they must pay the bills.
 The board took no action and now Miss Fenton has made another de- mand for reimbursement. The school board has sent the bills to city Attor- ney William H. Comley, IT,, for ad- vice.

AUSTR|ANS SAID
 TO PLAN AERIAL
 ATTACK ON ROME
Difficult Job for Aviators Who Attempt It, Is Be-
 lief in Italy.

Rome, Dec. 13. - Notwithstanding the presence of the Pope, respect for or fear of whom is supposed so far to have saved Rome from aerial at tacks it is now taken for granted that the Eternal City with her countless monuments and works of art may soon be, attacked by Austrian aviators.
 The Italian military authorities have been actively engaged for sev- eral months preparing to protect the city from a raid, with an elaborate signal system arranged by William Marconi to warn the defenders of the city of the approach of enemy aero planes. The Roman newspapers re- gently published notices that the alarm would consist of five cannon shots, with the usual ringing of church bells as signal that the danger was over.
 While so far it has proven impos- sible to prevent sporadic attacks on London, Paris, Venice, and other cit ies, arrangements have been made that may at least prevent the escape of raiders who attack Rome. The city is favored by two low mountain ranges between her and the Adriatic sea, a distance of 125 miles. But should the aerOplanes escape the coast guns and the anti-aerial guns planted on these mountain tops, the advancing aeronauts will still find in their path numerous squadrons of Italian ma chimes. The city itself is armed with numerous high power searchlights and anti-aerial guns. The famous Seven Hills of Rome, including the Capito- line above the Forum, have had each been so armed.
 The Janiculum Hill, which domin- ates St. Peters Church and the Vati- can, the Pope's residence, has several guns planted on it's brow. The Vat ican is protected by another set of guns near the Sastel Sant Angelo, the solid and lofty marble tomb built for the Emperors. when Rome was the worlds battle center, and later con- verted into a fortress. /
 While there is no uneasiness felt by the people of Rome for their own safety, it is certain, however, that 8 bomb dropped anywhere inside its limits could hardly miss destroying some work of art in the worlds rich est monumental city.
