CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
LECTURE AT NIXON

John Randall Dunn of st. Louis.
Mo-, distinguished student and orator.
member of the board of lectureship
OF The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton, Massachusetts, will deliver a lee
ture on the subject of Christian Sci
ence at the Nixon opera house next
Thursday evening (February 15).
The lecture is complimentary TO
the Winnemucca public, all expenses
being borne by Winnemucca Chris
tian Science Society. You are invited
to be present. You'll
Attorney L. G.. Campbell will intro
duce the speaker at exactly 8 o'clock
and it is not expected that anyone
will enter the theatre after that hour
to disturb the audience.
Last December Mr.. Dunn delivered
lecture in his home town (St. Louis)
at Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist,
and was introduced by his father in
the following beautiful way:
Il find great joy in speaking for
this church tonight-in giving you
loving welcome and in introducing
one of the new members of the board
of lectureship of The First Church of
Christ, Scientist. Under the circum-
stances | may be pardoned if, in per-
forming this pleasant duty. l strike a
personal note; for the whole career
of the guest of the evening, as boy and
man, has been the object of my pater-
nal If sometimes critical interest, and
always of my tenderest love.
1T seems but a few short years
since a little lad asked my permission
to attend a certain political meeting.
Why do you wish TO hear this partic-
ular speaker? / asked. Because
belong to his party he replied.
'WhyY Because | believe in it, he
said. 'WhyT / asked again. Because
you do. was the response. l stern
admonition l said: Never let me hear
you make such a sta ement again
Don't be anything, do anything, or be-
lieye anything because some one else
does. Do your own studying and
thinking and believing
Now l must confess that there
have been times and occasions in
which | wished m instructions had
not been obeyed with literal consist
ency; but the advice was wholesome
and, except as to an inherited relig-
ion, it was fruitful in fostering the
development of a faculty of indepen-
dent thought with a most congenial
fellowship as a corollary
"A dozen years ago | was brought
out of the shadow of virtual invalid
ism into health and strength through
Christian Science treatment. This
wondrous event set us both TO think
ing. and to seeking for the how and
the why and the wherefore of heal
ing which seemed almost miraculous;
and presently we were as the two
blind men by the wayside, asking the
Saviour as he passed by that our eyes
might be opened. The Master heard
our cry, and in due time the light of
this great truth, Christian Science,
dawned upon our sight.
THE other blind man has devoted
his young manhood to the work of
spreading this gospel of light and life
and love, and while introducing him
TO this most welcome audience l may
with a very full heart repeat the
words of Paul to Timothy: My son,
be strong in the grace that is in Christ
Jesus. Study to show thyself
approved unto God, workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.

ENDS HIRING OUT OF CONVICTS
Attorney General So Constructs New
Law Regulating State and County
CnnNicf Systems

Under a comprehensive ruling con-
STRUNG the new act regulating the
State and county convict system,
known as the Turner prison reform
act, Attorney General j. S. Manninp
holds that except for any contracts
that were in force at the time the
act was ratified, there can be no
more hiring out of convicts to any
persons, firms, associations or cor
porations by the prison board of di-
rectors except to the State; public
institutions owned, managed OF con-
trolled by the State, Or to a county
in the State.
He holds that a subsequent section
prescribing not over nine hours work
when convicts are hired out to "per-
sons, firms or corporations" does not
change that prohibition as to hiring
out, but only applies to contracts that
were in force when the act was pass
ed.
The Attornew General rules that
under the law. in addition to the per
diem allowances to the three classes
of prisoners 10 cents, 5 cents and 2
cents, spectively-for the benefit
of the dependent families, the Gov
ernor and prison board are merely
authorized to cast up the accounts of
the prison as to net earnings at the
close of the fiscal year and allot to
dependent families of convicts any
additional allowances from these
earnings they may in their discretion
deem wise; and if there is no de-
pendent family in relation to any
convict he cannot share in this al
lowance. Furthermore, third or in
corigible class of prisoners cannot
benefit by the cents day allow
ance except for dependent families
Section 10 of the act provides that
the State Board of Health shall have
joint supervision and control of coun.
ty convict camps and county and city
jails and then, Section II provides thai
the State Board of Health alone shall
exercise this control. AS ITO this
Judge Manning holds that under the
general practice of the courts the last
in order controls and therefore rules
that the State board has nothing a
all to do with these county and mu
nicipal camps and jails.
