ip's request Show us the Father" Jesus said, Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?" Had Philip seen the in telligence power, Spirit Life, Truth, and Love manifested by Jesus and had he not seen a great deal of God anl great deal of man?
 Jesus showed forth the perfect man but not because of his physique. He said, "'The flesh proflteth nothing." Can that which is truly man or wo- man be shown forth by mere flesh and blood? And God (the all-intelligent, powerful, eternal Mind Spirit, Life, Truth, and Love) said. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness So God created man in his own image, male and female created he them," and this godlike man is the only kind of man there is
 It was this true sense of being, this life purpose or mission, so clearly seen by Jesus when only twelve years old, which prompted him to say "Wist ye not that I must be about my Fathers business?" In other words, Know ye not that as man, the image and like ness of God, I must show forth our T Love? It was this reflection of the Father. the divine Spirit, without measure, that enabled Jesus to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead.
 The Discovery and Discoverer.
 The recognition that no man has any other true mission than that which Jesus had, led Mrs. Eddy to the discovery of this Science. It healed her when she was at the point of death as the result of an accident, but she did not stop with that. Noth- ing short of the healing and redemp- ton of all mankind could satisfy her loving heart. She practiced what she had discovered, healing others and teaching them in turn to do the same. She made clear her doctrine in a textbook of this Science, Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" which has done more for the alieViation of human ills and the reclamation of mankind than any book ever written except the Bible. She wrote other books mak- ing clear her meaning; organized the church which now spreads it's branch es over the whole known world. with members numbering hundreds of thousands who like her and her i'm mediate followers have been healed many of them of what are called in- curable diseases.
 Looking back fifty years, when the idea of spiritual healing through Christian Science was new to the world, and tracing it's progress, one can see. though dimly, the difficulties which this noble woman must have encountered. Through unimaginab1e hardships, trials and persecution she bore herself not with mere fortitude but with Christ1ike confidence which will continue to be an ever increas- ing inspiration to mankind.

tribunal was set aside.
On August IA, 1904, by order o.
the late Mayor Simpson, 81 persons
were cited to appear in the Police
Court to answer the charge Of con.
ducting business on Sunday. Many
were dismissed, as.i was shown that
the occupations in which they were
engaged were works Of necessity. a
number were fined, and in each case
where appeals were taken to the
higher court the accused were dis
missed.
Were we all of one accord there
would be no trouble in enforcing
Sunday laws, but as there is SO much
divergence of opinion manifested by
those interested, it is difficult prob
lem to handle, as will be shown when
attempts are made to enforce the
state and city laws next week.

SUNDAY
OBSERVANCE

The observance of Sunday, the
first day in the week, has been en-
Joined upon most of US from our IN
fancy, and it is generally allowed
that this day should supercede the
old Jewish Sabbath Day, or seventh
day of the week. While there is no
command or suggestion throughout
the New Testament as to the obser-
vance of any day in the calendar
|. the fact that the early Christians
came together "on the first day OF
the week to break bread" has been
deemed sufficient to hallow Sunday.
The last book in the Bible represents
the apocalytic seer as being I'm the
spirit on the Lords Day." but 1t Is
a matter of contention what day Of
the week the writer was referring to.
We have ever believed that it would
be better were as little work as pos
sible done on Sunday. Hundreds
YES, thousands-of persons contri-
butte every Sunday towards making
others work, while it should be ap-
parent that people should not be kept
upon steady treadmill and that such
are entitled to their weekly day OF
rest. But what can be done towards
bringing about this great desidera-
tum when so many have different
views? While most believers IN
| Christianity are convinced that all
occupations should cease on Sunday,
many others, and some christians,
too, contend that Saturday is the day
upon which rest should be taken.
| Orthodox Israelites also insist that
the seventh and not the first day
should be observed. The Mahometan,
equally as Conscientious, is sure Friday
should be kept as day OF rest and
worship.
The principles upon which the
United States has been established
are averse to the nation taking any
religious sect under its tutelege and
when appeals have been taken
to higher courts by persons fined or
imprisoned for violating the first
day of the week these tribunals have
in many cases set aside the judg.
ments of the lover courts.
Considerable interest has recently
been centered in the Sunday laws Of
the state which it is auTposcd to put
into effect on the-1St;l instant. These
laws are not new; they have existed
for some time, as have also orr city
statutes. Thirty years or more ag'
attempts were made to enforce these
laws, and number of persons were
fined by the Police Court for con
Quoting business on the first day o
the week. r. .sarly every instance
VIXEN appeals were taken to the high

ly-&the reputation Of atteriHg more
awful nfnledictaons than any other
man III tie prophet profession.
He was sent for on one occasion to
paraiyze the enefnies of HIS clients
With his most. terrific and blasting
curse. they were assembled in Chica-
90 in All effort TO inamidate the enemy
and cause his retreat BY such puny
6jurgations asl they were capable
Of, by terrifying contortions of their
countenances; and by threats of what
Balaarn The son of Beor would do to
shefn if they did not take heed.
The foes did not scare. They went
ahead with the plans to capture the
country without the slightest regard
Of the verbal thunderstorm that might
be launched at them. In fact, they
made the particular nomination that
they had been especially warned not
70 make lest Baiaam should come and
sfrivel them with his oratorical out
bursts. They actually defied him.
Then the clients sent in haste for
:Balaam to come and destroy the enc
mics, and the message he returned
was that he was not prepared to do
it at this time. He might fel like
doing it later; good deal would de-
pend upon the results he was likely
10 incur if he praetieed his arts on
the fee. If they wished to remain in
Chicago until he made up his mind
what it was likely to cost him to do
the cursing act, he should be happy
to have them stay and make them
selves at home. IF this didn't suit
them they had better; call off the male
dictory engagement. He was glad
they were in an heroic mood; none
others had any right to expect any
thing from him. But at the present
time he was not in an heroic mood
himself.
He added that at the time he made
the engagement to 60 to Chicago and
curse the enemy he had reason to be-
lieve-George Perkins told him So
that the enemy would not wait to be
cursed, but would flee before his face,
or would make obeisance before him
and ask him upon what terms they
could secure his blessing. Instead OF
doing this, they had defied him; they
had done the one thing most obnoxi-
Gus to him; they had refused to split
the difference by taking Lodge; their
temper was such that it was evident
ly of no use to curse them. Therefore
conditions had changed, all bets were
off, and the curses could not be de-
livered.
This is the true story of the reason
Balaam the son Of Beor refused to
curse the enemy, and the commander
in chief of the army of the Lord at
Armageddon threw up his commission
rather than go into fight. 81 am out
of politics." he said, which was OBJ
viously true. 4 haven't darn thing
to say for publication. 1t will be
remembered that eminent Casuist
Mark Twain, said that man who said
"darn" when he meant damn" was
a moral coward
