Washington to center upon a perma-
nent organization, headed by a man
Having no other work to do and
backed by liberal funds to be raised
by the city?
81 am confident that We can get
together an organization of volun-
teer workers who will turn the
trick" Colonel Harper said. I'VE
may need some funds, bat we can
raise them. Ny idea is that if we
have two good men from every State
on the committee they will be able
to bring into line all the States. l
refer to.men like former Congress
man Lloyd, of Missouri, who has in
fiuence in his State, and is willing to
give his time to the work. We
might find it advisable TO employ
men to visit the States. but 1 do not
volunteer workers"
The point that will be considered
by the committee and is being con-
sidered by live men of this town who
are sincerely for a great forward
movement for Washington, as many
of them have told me in the last few
days, is whether it is not best to at
once raise funds to put a permanent
organization to work-an organization
that will not let up at any time and
Will be on the job at all hours of the
day-in Congress, in the States or IN
Latin-American republics. The OLD
adage that what is everybody's bust
ness is nobody's business has been
applicable to Washington projects for
many years. Lack of unity, concen-
tTation, cooperation means failure.
Plan Well Regarded.
This States exposition project Is
everywhere regarded as so plausible
and advantageous it ought to go
through, but years of steady work VIII
be required-to get site from Con-
gress, to get appropriations from the
States and republics, to handle thou
sands of details.
Whatever organization is finally
agreed upon as the permanent one to
push the scheme, it was felt today.
should be equipped with clerical help,
and financial backing to keep the
wheels moving and the machinery at
all times ready. Colonel Harper is
alive to the Importance of the situa
ton and will advocate the best sug-
gestions that are submitted tomor-
row and at other meetings that will
frequently be held.

In part:
God has made only good. therefore
lie never made any colds, fcy1rs, aches
or ills Of any Kind, and as God is the
only power. no other power has made
these ills or aches, consequently they
have not been made and man cannot
have them, because they do not really
exist.
christian Science Is trying 10 help
men TO see and TO understand that for
every need, one should look 10 God TO
The spiritual, and not TO the material.
But one may say, We do get some
material relief Yes. but it is only tenn
porary, whereas, II one in Christian
Science understands the nothlngness
and pOwerlessness OF any so-called
sickness or evil, he is not only relev-
ed. but is less likely TO experience the
same false belief again. II one knows
tnat sickness has no power he will

ing Of fear, one Of the great producers
