| Lewis NJ. Alexander, of Port Ed
wards, certainly has an eye for the
practical and substantial, as we'll as
for the beautiful, as a booster" for
the up-building of good community;
and making town in which it is worth
while to reside.
We doubt, if there is a village in
Wisconsin of 800 population in its
class as beautiful town situated as
it is on the west or right bank of the
grand old "Wisconse" river, four miles
down river from Grand Rapids, with
81 per cent of the houses, business
places, and the three depots painted
white; well kept lawns, and hundreds
of stately elms. and beautiful parks.
The electric light and telephone poles
are painted white with black base.
The village of Port Edwards
has water works, sewerage, cleo
trio lights, cement streets, walks and
curbing, schools, churches, and hotel,
three leading railroads, the c.. & N.
W., 500 Line and the c. M. & st. P,
the three depots are within one block
of each other and are very attractive,
being painted white.
There are Eight miles of cleo
trio street railway between
Grand Rapids to Nekoosa, with
hourly service from a. m. to II D. m.
An Independent telephone exchange
with free phone service with Grand
Rapids, which has 5000 population,
Nekoosa with 1000 population and
the cultivated cranberry district. Also

There has never been a saloon in the
town during the past forty years.
There is only one manufacturing
plant in the village, the Nekoosa-Ed-

Mr.. Alexander has just completed
the grading and filing of one mile of
public highway from the north end
of the present cement road in the vii
lage to the city limits of the city of
Grand Rapids, which is to be covered
with cement in the spring of 1917, and
has caused to be put in, a 80 foot
bridge and 20 fot culvert in the low
end of the village which runs thru the
virgin forests of the Wisconsin river
bottoms, considered one of the most
beautiful drives in the Northwest.
When this cement road is complet-
ed in 1917, there will be a cement road
from the southern limits of the city of
Grand Rapids down the river to the
lower. end of the village of Nekoosa
a distance of miles.
Why cannot Grand Rapids wake up

Human Sense Healed.

The healing work is accomplished
in the human mind by bringing about
a change of consciousness wherein lies
the belief in error which has to be
corrected. This human mind is that
quality of consciousness which en-
braces error and yet which can be-
gin to know divine Truth. 1t is the
plane on which the real can reach the
unreal. It is a kind of clearing house
where Truth can be known, where err
ror can be corrected and where har-
mOny can be established 1t is a tran
sitional stage of experience in which
transformation takes place, through
the renewal of the mind 1t is an i'm
perfect consciousness, still Influenced
by error, but one to which the saving
Christ can come, healing it of it's err
roneous beliefs and renewing it with
the mind Of Christ. Mortal mind or
The carnal mind is wholly evil and err
roneous but the human mind, although
containing much error, possesses also
some good. 1t is this element of good
which is quickened and enlarged thru
the appearance of the Christ in con-
seriousness, and which will eventually
be so transformed that all error will
be destroyed and the perfect, spiritual,
harmonious consciousness of the real
man be established.
Christian Science heals sin in the
same manner that it heals sickness,
By recognizing the fact that evil is
the opposite of good or the absence of
good, and thus has neither Principle
nor power; that it is no part of Gods
creation since in the infnity of good
there can be no place for evil. 1t shows
that evil is a lie, "a liar, and the ia
Their of it" as Jesus termed it, and that
! il exists in the human consciousness
