STRIKERS STAND
FIRM; NOCHANCE
Situation at GiEis Shops Remains
Unsdterei 0ncials Planning
10 Adjust Matter.

Laborers who walked out yester-
day afternoon at the Silvis shops
remain away from their posts and
the situation has changed little
since yesterday.
5. " MulltniE, superintendent,
declared this morning that he had
heard of no new developments and
was unable TO predict how long the
strike would last. He stated that
he was busy looking up the matter,
but as yet had not succeeded in for
mularng plan that would adjust
matters, In the meantime the shops
feel the loss OF the men to a con
Siderable extent, but it is not
thought that the waIkout will SER
iously tie up business.
Tuesdays checks were mailed to
the men which covered an increas-
Cd amount of wages for the month
OF January. This increase was al
lowed some time ago by govern
ment ruling. Despite the fact that
NE raise went into effect in Janu-
airy, the increased amount had not
oeen forwarded to the employees IN
III Tuesday, inasmuch as much
WORK was entatled in the adjust
nent OF records. 1t was hoped that
gradually the amounts for the fol-
lowing months would be given to
NE men and all were assured of
ketung the increase at some time.
Win the arrival of the checks
tuesday, however, dissatisfaction
arose among the men and the
checks were sent back to the Of
hees. Only the laborers at the
shops are affected.

GUN SAVES Her
WHEN ATTACKED
Moline Woman Scares Man Away
Early This Morning BY Fir
ing Her Revolver.

Il is quite certain that a certain
nan will never again care TO hold
I'D Mrs. Belle Bustard, Highland
addition, Moline, for when he car
RED out an attack this morning he
probably received the scare OF his
life and is lucky that he escaped
with his life. In fact he may even
be carrying around few bullets
IN his anatomy at the present mo-
nent.
The near tragedy for both oc-
cured al las this morning when
Mrs. Bastard was returning from
her duties as manager Of the
dancing pavilion at Central park,
Moline. She had left the street
car and was proceeding in the di-
rection Of her home, when near
Twenty-seventh street and Tween
ty-thiTd avenue man sprung sud
denly from d dark spot and threw
her to the ground. A 80 calibre
revolver which she carries came in
mighty handy and during the
struggle Mrs. BASTARD had pres
ence of mind enough to reach in
her pocket book and pull the trig-
gar three times. The first shot
failed to 90 of, but the other two
aroused the neighborhoOd and the
man took 10 his heels. Mrs. Bus
tard believes they took effect.
When Detective Q. p. Halter ana
Patrolman Ernest Wailin reached
the scene Of the attack this morn
ing they found the grass trampled
On and the ground torn up. Three
shells and q dollar bill. and Mrs.
Bustard's nat were stiII on the
ground as sufficient proof of a real
attack The assauIter is described
BY Mrs. BASTARD as wearing dark
trousers, a light shirt and black
mask over the lower part OF his
face.

He could not possibly have knowledge
Of evil. for evil does not exist in the
spiritual universe and il is really the
only universe. The seeming existence
Of evil is in the carnal mind. 1t has been
well said that II every one would quit
SHINING there would be no more sin. AS
human consciousness IS evangelical by
truth and love. sin disappears.
There is no such thing as an angry
Coo waiting TO smite you for sin. for
God has no knowledge OF sin in any
form. HIS law is against sin: yet the
punishment for or Of sin is by sin. and
when the sin IS destoyed aid put away
out of the human mind the punishment
stops. but as long as the sin remains il
VIII whip and punish the sinner.
This the forgiveness OF sin consists
in the destruction Of sin, and the sin
exists nowhere but in the carnal human
mind. The belief that God pardons sin
merely because you ask Him to do so.
without turning from the sin yourself
and putting it away from you. is foolish
self-deception.
People ask how God can destroy sin
when He knows nothing Of sin and does
not even know that it exists. The

never sees. When the light appears the
darkness disappears Good and evil can

fore the other.
Cause and Cure OF Disease.
All sin. disease. and death come from
the belief of life. intelligence sensation,
hu& IN & ho frsra
and it now seems to be settled. that
there is no life in matter. that it has no
sensation or intelligence. and is not
substance. then It follows that all ma
terial theories concerning disease. and
the method of solving all human prob
lens. will have to be changed from
material to a spiritual basis. II mat
ter is itself merely thing of thought
objectifed II follows that disease in
whatever form is also merely the OBJ
iectifcatfon of diseases beliefs upon the
human body. and that such beliefs orig
mate in the carnal mind. and not in the
body. but are manifested on the body
only after they are formulated in the
material or carnal mind If this be
true and II is true beyond AL possible
question. it then follows that the cor
rect way to treat disease is not through
matter, nor r. giving r-ateria! rem edies
and drugs to the body, but by destroying
the images OF disease out OF the human
mind.
Every one must see at a glance that
disease is not itself an entity. II has
no mind intelligence. volition nor pres
ence. Disease is neither self-created
nor was IT created by God. It originates
in the first instance In the carnal human
mind in the form of disease thought.
and is then objectihed on the body by
the material beliefs OF that same carnal
mind The truo way to cure it. there
fore. is TO give to the human mind
something that will neutralize and de-
stroy the disease producing qualities
and beliefs. The thing that does this IS

are engaged daily in demonstrating and
proving this TO be true.
Every student Of religion should begin
to give heed to what the Bible teaches
concerning the Importance Of looking to

These significant statements from the
Scriptures leave no room for doubt as
TO the cause of sin. disease. and death
or their cure The carnal mind is moth

ed human mind IT IS the human mind

Christian Science teaches that this is
the precise process by which human

Yet every one believes with all of tbs
sincerity OF which he IS capable that his
own particular beliefs are true. It mus
be conceded that, in the main. all PEG
pie are equally honest and eually sin
cere in their religious beliefs. The
only reason why they are grouped to-
gether in different forms Of religions is
because they honestly believe that
through their own particular form of
religion they Will find the good which
they so earnestly desire.
As one considers the subject OF re-
ligion from this broad viewpoint it be
comes entirely plain that most of the
people in the world are believing as
their religion many things that are not
true.
Every one will recognize noa only the
desirability. but the necessity. Of ex-
changing false and erroneous beliefs
about religious matters for positive
truth.
True religion consists Of spiritual
truth, and not OF erroneous beliefs;
hence II follows that ones religion IS
limited to the amount Of spiritual truth
he knows. and that erroneous religious
beliefs are only so many decisions that
serve no other purpose than to obstruct
spiritual growth.
Chistian Science aims to destroy err
roneous religious beliefs by substituting
a knowledge of truth in place thereof.
and to destroy out OF the human mind
all evil qualities by planting good quail
ties in their stead II wages relentless
warfare against all wrong mental quali-
ties. 1t seeks to substitute love in place
of hate, unselhshness in place Of selfish
ness, honesty in place of dishonesty and
truth in place of error. 1t lays tremend-
Gus emphasis upon the necessity for
bringing into captivity every thought
TO the obedience of Christ" Oh. Cor. X
- as the Bible commands. 1t shows
that the cause of all disease and sin is
mental. and not physical. and that both
sickness and sin are destroyed by the
evangeIizat ton OF the human mentality
with truth and love. 1t teaches without
any reservation whatever that the truth
taught and practiced by Jesus. when
understood and applied. IS sufficient
without drugs or any material means

ner. and Christian Scientists everywhere
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1918-05-11

beings are saved from sickness and sin.
It viii thus be seen that Christian
Science healing in every case is spirit
ual. and results from the operation of
Truth or divine Principle in human
consciousness. and not from the action
Of one human mind upon another, nor
from human Will, nor from hypnotism.
nor from mental suggestion.
To summarize the matter in a sin
gle sentence il can be said that Chris
tan Science healing is accomplished
through the activity OF right thinkMg
and right living. and in no other way
can one demonstrate the principle
that heals.
Jesus healed the sick without drugs.
and what is more important to u. he
taught other people how to do so, thus
proving that his method OF healing

the Christ-truth. which Christian
Science brings 10 the human mind. and
in this way Christian Science has healed
very many people from all kinds of dis
eases.
Jesus said, Come unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden. and 1 will
give you rest" and Christian Science IS
teaching the human race that the true
way to come unto him is to live the Life
that he lived. TO manifest the Love that
he manifested and to demonstrate the
Truth that he taught In this way II
has helped many people to find rest. and
peace and health.

Many Different Religious Beliefs.
II is said that there are more than
Two hundred different kinds of the
Christian religion alone. not to mention
the hundreds OF other forms of relig-
ions that are not Christian. II is a fact
that people do entertain widely differ
ing religious beliefs. In many instances
the differences are frreconcilable and
