This belief, in belief. makes man
mortal instead Of spiritual, makes
man subordinate to every beast of
the field, every fowl of the air, and
every plant that springs out Of the
earth; makes man a slave instead Of
a master.
when man begins to see himself
as a child of God, a child of Spirit,
rather than a child Of the dust, then
he begins to take possession of him
self in the name of Almighty God,
and to claim his birthright Of
health, happiness, harmony, and
immortality.
He then begins to take dominion
over the beast of the field, and oyer
the fish of the sea, the fowl of the
air, and over everything that creep
eth upon the earth.
But this dominion is not express
ed in the power of might, of physi-
cal strength and mortal cruelty, but
in the power of love, kindness, gen
tleness, and helpfulness to all that
is below him.
THAT place of perdition, the So
called hell or abode of Satan, SO
wildly pictured, and SO graphically
portrayed by masters in the art, as
a place, Science shows is as false as

Even heaven as locality or

Lectures About
Christian Science
BY Or. Francis J. FIuno, c. S. D.
From Great Falls (Mont.) Daily Leader
Continued from last week.

From Great Falls (Mont) Daily Leader
Continued from last week.
We refer to the teaching that God
foreordained from everlasting to ev-
erlasting; a few predestined to eter-
nal happiness, and the many to eter-
nal torment; the few to be saved,
and the many to be lost.
This belief has driventhousands
to hopeless despair, because consci-
ent1ously they were striving to be
good, but found, like Paul, that
when they would do good, evil was
present with them, naturally and
finally, believed themselves of that
number, predestined to be lost.
What more discouraging, what
more despairing doctrine could be
preached? And what doctrine more
deserves eternally to be lost?
Christian Science comes as the
Christ has always come, not to
destroy the law, or the prophets;" it
comes, not to destroy, but to full

1t will not take one good thing
from the world; all that is good or
true will remain forever.
The so.called finite world. the
world of finite sense, of mortality
and matter, is made up of PROPOSE
tons based entirely upon the evil
dence of the senses, all of which
Christian Science, going beyond the
evidence of the senses, beyond be-
lief, faith, and even prophecy itself,
clears away and leaves the field to
wisdom, understanding, intelligence
and God.
lone of these propositions is that
the devil, whom mortal sense has
builded up and made a person of,
and who has been pictured and per
sonifed as the one opposed to God,
is going about the earth, working
upon the children Of men, winning
more souls to perdition than God
can possibly gain to the kingdom OF
the blest.
Christian Science, the religion
of Jesus Christ, honoring God more
than it honors Satan, finds God ON
nipotent having all power; and
hence there is no other power.
And the so-called devil, which is
merely an allegorical personifcation
of evil or physical sense, neither is
or has power.
christian Science shows that the
error Of the ages is in having two
powers, one of good and the other
of evil; and this belief beclouds the
eye of reason, shuts out the true

Frear'S Views On
Warning Resolution
BY JAMES A. FREAR, M. c.
Continued from page u

The Gore resolution was first TAX
en- up in the Senate and in debate it
was claimed that several senators
learned from the president that war
might be close at hand because of
the submarine question. Although
denied and the Gore resolution laid
on the table, the effect was startling.
About the same time Speaker Clark
advised the president and the House
membership was overwhelming in
favor Of a resolution Of warning,
but one week thereafter enough
votes were counted to make sure OF
the result and the McLemore resolu-
ton Of warning was also taken from
the table where it had been resting
and again quietly laid back by the
House. If substitute could have
been offered it would have briefly
provided that without surrendering
any legal rights, citizens were warn
ed that it is dangerous to travel on
armed merchantmen. On the vote,
party lines were broken, delegations
from New England, Pennsylvania
and from the South generally voted
to table while the Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, and other neighboring
states excepting Michigan favored
giving warning. The entire Wiscon-
sin delegation, Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike, voted against tabling
the resolution but were with the
minority.
Congressman Cooper from Wiscon-
sin of the foreign affairs committee
presented arguments in favor OF
warning, urging that the average
American was hopelessly confused
over distinctions sought to be made
by Lansing between merchantmen
armed for offense and defense.
1t appeared that while Congress
had nothing to do with diplomatic
relations it had no choice but to de-
clare it's views on a warning, the on
" alternative being to table when
the majority insisted vote must be
taken. In view Of warning given
Americans in Mexico; the first de
cision Of Lansing to that effect and
the desire to prevent needless sacri-
flee Of American lives on one hand
and prevent complications through
reckless Americans son the other,
those who voted for the warning did
so believing it was the right and hui
name course to pursue. Whatever
differences the president may have
with his own iparty or with other
parties, there will be no question OF
the united support Of Congress #
war becomes inevitable, which is i'm
probable, but up to that point every
honorable effort ought to be put
forth to prevent war. A lessening
Of war falkland inspection by our
government Of foreign armed mer-
chantmen has occurred within the
last few days,so that the discussion
while gravely important may have
been of service at this particular
time.
The Mexican situation is also Civ
ing much concern. Whatever course
the administration decides in refer
ence to the neighboring republic, |
feel safe in predicting it will have
the wholehearted support Of Con
gress.

The last game Of the inter-class
basket ball games was played as a
preliminary to the Ellsworth-Bloom-
er game on Friday afternoon, when
the Juniors played the third years.
This game was to decide the basket
ball championship of the school and
to give so points toward the Sven
son trophy to the winning class. Be-
fore the game everyone, Juniors, at
least, were confident that the Juniors
would win. The game began. The
fast work of the third year team
baff1ed the Juniors and at the end Of
the first half the third year team
was leading by large margin. The
Junior team came back, determined
to win from the Third Years, but the
ThirdYears' team continued to make
field goals and at the end Of the
game the final score was IA to . IN
favor of the Third Years. The Juni-
