the score Of s 10 8. They made five
runs in the last inning.
The second game was devoid Of
special interest, having been won by
the Champions h the first inning
when they scored runs as the re-
suit Of hits and errors and passed
balls.
A feature Of the first game was a
home run smash by Captain Land
This furnished the morale for the
rally which the High School staged
in the next and last inning. The hit
was long one and pounded at the
gates Of the bicycle shop"
The two teams played for a divi-

looked bad for the champions for a

OPERATION OF CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE

The operation of Christian Science
In healing disease and overcoming sin
is the action of the divine Mind. God
the Principle and power of the universe
through good thoughts, that is.
thoughts which, admitting that thew
nave action and power, are equally
good for everything and everybody in
creation. These thoughts come to a
human being through the study of
Christian Science, and reveal this d.
vine power which is omnipotent. and
make this divine power available in
proportion as it is understood and az
cepted by means of such thoughts. In
this sense, and in this sense only. is
the operation of Christian Science the
operation of good thought on evil
thought, true thought on error. and the
effect is the same as the effect of an
all-powerful positive upon its mega
tive, as, for instance, the effect of
light upon darkness. AS light is re-
nected from the sun and annihilates
darkness, just so the qualities of d.
ylpe Truth and Love are reflected nv

trate and destroy any dark, evil. dis

This method of believing and affirm
ing with absolute certainty that God
is just what the Bible implies Him to
be. namely All-in-all, and believing, as
Jesus taught, that the things one
rlghteously asks for shall come to
pass, indicates something of the true
nature of prayer according to Chris
tan Science. Proving the divine Prin-
clple of his being in the destruction
or sin, sickness, and death is a prac-
teal and certain illustration Of true
prayer which should appeal to every
earnest Christian. Instead of being
prayerless, as some have imagined.
Christian Scientists, in so far as thew
practice their Science, live lives of
continual prayer. They pray morning.
noon and night; they pray before they
work, eat or sleep. The Christian
Scientist prays, not to beseech the in

therefore, blind belief in a personal
deity, nor wavering faith in a far

which has advanced to spiritual under

and always available.
The Bible declares, "He that cometh
to God must believe that he is. and
that he is rewarder of them that
diligently seek him." Salvation does
not follow a blind personal belief in
a personal God or personal savior: if
II did we should not be admonished
to work out our own salvation. or he
told, He that overcometh shall inher-
1t all things" This work of over
coming can only effectively be done
according to a divine Principle and
rule, and this Principle and rule must
sooner or later be understood by each
individual in order to put off the old
man with his deeds" and inhabit the
kingdom of harmony. Blind faith is
ignorant OF sin and how to handle il:
1t knows not how to uncover and re-
Duke error, therefore this fatal omis-
sion prevents the answer to its pray-
ers. Blind faith accomplishes some
measure of good; good motives could
hardly fail TO reap some reward. but

As specimen of editorial irony that is not bad, but it
seems pity to waste any opportunity to drive home as
blmdy and plainly possible the brass tacks reasons
why beef bread butter and other things that are grown in
this country sell for less money in Great Britain after rail-
road and ocean freight have been paid them than they
sell for New York. or Pittsburgh, Faimont. This is
one of the things that the American public will have to
hear many times before ii will believe it.
Food prices lower in England than they are in the
United States because there there abundance Of
law regulating the distribution and sale of such merchandise
and the laws there are enforced no matter who is
involved.
There is plenty of law in this country to prevent profit

but none of enforced except at rare intervals when
public opinion demands victim. And then some incon-
specuous individual with influence and not many friends
