 Now. it is stated, the curb brokers plan to house the market in order to keep persons who are not members from selling and buying stock through their exchange. This project has many times been suggested but always with out success. The Curb Market has al ways been an informal organization with no rules such as obtain in the New York Stock Exchange. Now the trokers are anxious tC limit the mem bership to five hundred and to elim- mate outsiders
 Indoors the market would continue business as usual, handling its own line of securities. The Curb Market has always dealt in stocks not traded | in by the conservative exchanges. The greater part of its business is with the small brokers, though some of the magnates who pay s75,000 for admis- sion to the Stock Exchange send repre- | sentatives to the Curb Market.

Socialism Then and Now

The examination of Captain Joseph Medi Patterson, of the of the Chicago Tribune, in the trial of the libel suit of Henry Ford against the Tribune has brought out something that was not widely known, and that could not have been learned from the Tribune that Captain Patterson former ly socialist.
 He is now though.
 He admitted that he radical. He said on cross examination that he had talked with many socialists and they seemed to have good many of the troubles had" of them being the rising influence of the bested interests of the gov ernment.
 In explanation of his abandonment of the so- ciast party, Captain Patterson said: q did think it practical It all right in theory, but it did not seem to work out well in practice"

The Government of Love

begins to supersede materiality, the discordant expression of material beller begins to disappear, for the simple req son that the harmony of divine reality naturally becomes preeminent, as con- sciousness is responsive to love. This is doubtless what Mrs. Eddy means where she writes, on page 1S9 of ''The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscel- lany," 'The government of divine love derives it's omnipotence from the love it creates in the heart of man; for love is allegiant, and there is no loyalty apart from love-"
 When the lawyer, from among the Pharisees, came to Jesus the Christ, tempting him with the question con- cerning the great commandment, Jesus covered the whole subject of law with the two commands to love God and to love man, ss Gods idea. Jesus under | stood, however, what the Pharisees were unable to discern, that man, who | is to be loved as brother, is spiritual and not material. It was just this abil- l ity scientifically to behold the spiritual man insead of the mortal, limited, discordant counterfeit that gave to Je- sus the power, unaccountable to the l ildttTIdllSlS, tO neal Ine SICK. NOW, IL is easily conceivable that if the spirit ual vision of man, governed by divine love, confers the power to overcome disease, it can also destroy all false sense of discord in every other depart ment of human experience in the pro- portion that divine love is perceived and responded to individually and co,- lectively.
 Jesus the Christ explaied his su- periority to false control, wnen he de- clared to his disciples, "The prince o1 this world cometh, and hath nothing 1T me" He was not responsive to the false laws and beliefs of mortals, nol did he in any infirmity feel the effects of those beliefs. He understood tha evil has no power in itself, that it's only seeming authority is the belief tha mortals repose in it. He therefore proved that the consciousness whicl gives no response to evil cannot be con trolled by it, or, to phrase this fact af
 firmatively, only the consciousness tha understands the allness of God and re
 spends to divine love can comprehent and demonstrate the omnipotence o loves government. God is All" Mrs
 Eddy writes on page POS of "Miscel
 laneous Writings and by virtue o
 this nature and allness He is cognizan
 only of good. Like a legislative bil that governs millions of mortals whom the legislators know not, the universs. law of God has no knowledge of evil

and enters unconsciously the human heart and governs it."
 So. it is through the individual at tainment of spirituality that divine love comes literally to govern a man ip all his thoughts, purposes and conduct. This also brings to him the assurance of divine protection against dangers Of every sort Daniels sense of security in the lions den was due to his under standing of and his responsiveness to Loves government of all true ideas. He was able to discern the harmless. real nature of the lions because he had first known that individual man. as the ideasof divine love, is not subject to or controlled by the animality of envy. rivalry. ambition and hate. In just the proportion that a man becomes con- scious of the supremacy of spirit and spiritual law. and reflects divine prin- ciple in his every thought. he escapes from the effects of false belief and eX- periences the harmony of loves gov ernment. Of the effect upon humanity of the spiritual perception of and re- sponse to divine government. Mrs. Eddy writes: Divine love reforms, re- generates, giving to human weakness strength, serving as admonition, in- ] struction and governing all that really
 is. Divine love is the noumenon and
 phenomenon, the principle and practice
 of divine metaphysics. Love talked and
 not lived is a poor shift for the weak
 and worldly. Love lived in court or
