in the Universe, we are helping along
the answer to the prayer ''Thy King
dom come" The power Of the word
depends upon the amount of faith with
which it is sent out and faith worketh
thru love. All problems in Christian
ity come back to the same place-Love.
Love is the fulfilling of the law. 1t
is because of this power of thought
that Paul said, "Be Ye transformed
by the renewing of the mind" and
again, LET this mind be in you that
is in Christ Jesus" Get rid Of the
Odam mind that believes in the reality
of evil. Evil, no matter how bad, it
seems has no power in itself, but only
that given it by the human mind that
has left the Father like the prodigal
son. Be risen with Christ and know
that God, your loving Father, is fill
ing every atom Of the universe. His
kingdom is within you and is yours
for the seeking. It is like some of
our great discoveries-the telephone
for instance, the principle was always
the same but we had no telephones to
use until we discovered the principle.
The kingdom of heaven is a state of
mind where divine order peace and
harmony are established 1t is at hand
and always has been and it is to be
found-not by dying but by living and
loving. We shall have no peace until
we discover the principle.
Christianity is the only thing that
is success but the world has not
wanted it. 1t has preferred to live
under the old Mosaic law Of "an eye
for an eye" instead of following
Christ's command "But say unto you
love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate
you and pray for them that despite
fully use you and persecute you" On
the two commandments "Love God
and your fellow man hang all the Law

DO YOUR BIT

Everyone wants to help to bring a
bout peace and the great question is
how he can do the most When man
comes to know that he is really
child of God-the Universal Spirit of
Mind-and that he has inherited the
creative power of thought, he then
finds the realm in which he can do
efficient work. Many people today are
doing their bit" by right thinking.
This seems impractical to the man of
the world because the things of Spirit
are foolishness to the natural man.
Never-t he-less, it is Gods way; and
if we are to be accounted worthy to
escape" the terrors of these last days
and live on to enjoy the reign of peace
which is soon to be established on
earth, we must awaken to Gods truths
God created all things and pronounc-
ed them very good; but the Father
Mind creates only in the spiritual
realm leaving to His Son to bring all
things into manifestation in the visible
world. without the Word was not
anything made that was made" The
Word Uogos) is translated in sever
al different ways but all with the same
meaning-the Son, the Christ, Lord
God. We are told that when Jesus
was born the Word was made flesh"
and when we understand this, we know
that the Word comes into form of
flesh every time a man is born into a
consciousness of his Sonship-this is
putting on Christ" With this spir-
itual birth comes the understanding
of his power as a creative being.
Every thought a man has, creates
some condition. This is not world
of chance-nothing happiness; but all
causes have their effects and these
causes are all in mind No thing or
condition ever comes into the world
without first existing in the mind of
a child of God (the World. Every
thought of hatred or evil of any kind
brings trouble. Wars, earthquakes,
storms and all discord are but the re-
suit of the accumulation of evil
thought. God is Love and He can no
more send evil than the sun can give
out cold and darkness. 1t is not His
nature. If the Son had never fallen
n ir+o .of
atty of power adverse to the Good,
all things would have come into man.
Hesitation in the visible world in har-
mony with the Fathers creation in the
Spiritual. Every loving thought
brings good and the amount of good
Or evil, depends upon the intensity of
the thought. Everytime we claim the
Omnipresent Good as the only Power

Hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal characterization of barrels of
oil unconsumed-man power saved to
the extent of thousands Of days of la
bor-because the milwaukee Road"
has electrified its line across the Great
Continental Divide.
The tremendous power of mountain
waterfalls, spilling away wastefully
for ages has been harnessed to per-
form the great tack of moving the
heavy steel trains of this railway a.
cross the mountains of the northwest,
releasing an invaluable store of the
earth's treasured energy to other
purposes so necessary to the nation
now.
And this great achievement so i'm
oortant in conserving the nations re-
sources, redeeming mountain travel
from smoke and cinders, is now being
extended through another great range

The advance of women as an actual
result of the war has swept into the
limbo the old ideas of citizenship. 1t
is no longer a question of whether wo-
man ought or ought not to be citizens
because they have proven that they
are citizens. And no country can long
er tolerate a situation in which the
equal privileges of citizenship are not
equally conferred upon women and
men.

when the rate of letter postage is to

Hawaii certainly has set an example
worthy of emulation on the mainland.
On the basis of its population the gross
military quota of Hawaii was 2,4O3. On
April l the islands were represented
by 4,237 in the National Guard, or
nearly double the number required to
fill the quota. Since that date other
additions have been made, bringing the
net contribution of the territory to

ana
Whereas, it is vital that his sue
cessor shall be man Of unquestioned
Americanism, high ideals, and peer
to the best Senators from Wisconsin
has heretofore sent to the United
States Senate, Now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, 1t is the sense
of this Association that the best way
to secure such a man would be by
means of mass convention to nomin-
ate a candidate thereafter to be elect
ed, such convention to be composed of
men of all parties, coming from all
sections of the State and representing
all vocations in life, all animated by
a single desire to support the Govern
ment Loyalty, unequivocally and whole
heartedly in this present crisis"
The Wood County Reporter is a
member of the Wisconsin Patriotic
Press Association and is strongly in
sympathy with the above resolution.
We believe that we voice the sentiment
of the citizens of Grand Rapids and
vicinity when we ask the Governor to
provide for the special election re-
quired by law to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the accidental death of U. S.
Senator Paul O. Husting Our state
senator and member of assembly
should be active in their demand on
the Governor that he call a special
election. The people don't want the
Governor to fill this vacancy. The
people want the privilege of voting
for Paul O. Hastings successor and he
must be a capable and red-blooded
American. We want Wisconsin to go
on record and prove to the nation that
our Americanism is not in question.
We note by the Milwaukee newspa-
pers that ex-governor McGovern is
strongly mentioned as being DESTROYS
of entering the senatorial race at the
special election to be called in the near
future. Isn't it remarkable that some
men who have been in politics and
thoroly defeated for reelection as
McGovern has been that they are not
blessed with sufficient wisdom to know
that the people don't want them any
longer. McGovern has been tried and
found wanting and we would consider
him very uncertain and unreliable ma
terial for the position of the U. S.
Senate. He is absolutely out of the
question when you consider/ excellent
material to succeed Senator Paul O.
Husting.

GEORGE COMES ON RUN

Officers of the steamer Prince John which arrived from the south last night reported that the little craft will make one more trip. The big three-funnel liner Prince George will come on the run June 11th and from then on will handle the north ern run during the summer.
 Repairs to the Prince Rupert, which was wrecked on Genn Island last winter are being made at a rapid rate, at the Yarrow yards at Victoria and the company officials expect to get her out of dry dock on June 18th. She will then double with the George on the Alaskan run. Over 40 of the damaged plates on the bottom of the steamer have been replaced.
 The officers of the Rupert have been exonerated from any blame for the wreck by the Canadian wreck commission which investigated the wreck at Victoria.
 Capt. MacPherson. the wreck com missioner handed down the finding of the court, which reads as follows:
