NEWSIE HAD NEW STUNT
His Sobbing Attracted Many Buy
ers-And All Evening He Croco-
Oiled His Wares.

Crying newspapers long has been
the means used by the newsboy In
selling his wares. There is a little
negro paper vender in Topeka who
has perfected this crying to a fine
point, but his selling talk" does not
include merely, Hi, piper-get las
dishun-ali bout tn. big strike" His
crying is the real thing, sob stuff, they
call it.
The writer fell victim to his wiles
recently. 1 was standing on a proui-
nent business corner on Kansas ave-
nue. about 8 o'clock at night. The
street was noisy with passing auto
mobiles and street cars a steady
stream of pedestrians hurried by on
the walk; about ten feet from me "a
negro boy was shouting his papers in
the loud, raucous voice of the news
boy. Suddenly, out of all this con-
aware of someone crying nearby.

against the side of building was
little negro lad his shoulders shaking
with sobs.

asked. He was pathetic looking lit

little fellows alleged oppressor. He
didn't look any larger than the crying
one, but thought nothing of It,
Here, here, this crying don't do you
any good,'-I said to the still sobbing
newsboy. you can't sell papers that
way. Brace up and I'll buy a paper. :"
The sobbing ceased with wonderful
promptness and a little black hand
was busily pulling forth a paper.
Now quit this crying and show

papers as he cam I said, and walked

| Coming back by the corner a few
! minutes later, I was attracted by a
\ crowd near the building. I stopped.
A familiar sobbing struck my ear.

sas coal miners lost their lives at their
work in 1919, according to figures
complied by the state mine inspectors
office While this is four fewer fatal
tiles than in 1918 the net gain is small
from the fact that all the miners were
out on strike for one month and 1900
of them for more than five months.
Fifteen of the deaths were due to rock
falls. More of the $50 non-fata1 acct
dents of the year were due to rock
falls than to any other one cause.

treatment of disease, and have been
successively discarded, have had the
same glowing record when they were
first used. The reason for this is that
it is not the drug but the belief in it
which accomplished the healing. Those
who discover and bring forth a remedy
cure, because the remedy is the out
come of definite conviction as to how
the disease should be treated; so they
obtain marked results, while those who
prescribe the same drug later on have
no such deep conviction, and because
of their previous experience may be
even mildly skeptical. This state of
thought brings about failure.
Now the history of every material
method including surgery is the same
as that of drugs. The results which
come are according to the belief which
is entertained about them. One has
only to glance through the medical jour
mails to see that physicians themselves
are condemning many of the operations
and methods which the world at large
has been taught to believe would heal
them. Almost every one can recall op-
erations and methods which were quite
the rage few years ago but are sell
dom heard of today, and it is perfectly
safe to predict that the surgical pro-
cefures which seem successful today
VIII be discarded for others tomorrow.
The greatest blessing that can come to
both the doctor and the world Is to
learn why it is that no material meth
cd is of permanent avail and that i. is
God who not only 'forgiveth all thine

A LECTURE ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
BY DR.. Walton Hubbard, C. 8. B.

On last Friday evening at the First
Church of Christ Scientist, Gienwood
Dr. Walton Hubbard, C. 8. B. member
Of the Board of Lectureship Of the
mother church, the First Church OF
Christ Scientist in Boston, Mass. loc-
tured on Christian Science to . very
attentive audience and spoke substan-
italy as follows:
1.-THE explanation Of Gods law and
its availability to all mankind was
taught and demonstrated by Jesus the
Christ, but for many centuries it ha.
been maintained that the major portion
of the reward for Christian living -
to come at some future time. Chris-
tian Science furnishes the rule BY
which the power that Jesus used in
accomplishing his wondrous works II
male Immediately available, and be-
cause its beneficient power can make
over and bless every phase Of our ma
terial existence it 10 the most important
atipn The wisdom of this world has
failed not only to heal from discord
and sin but to heal from disease. And
it will continue to fail in its treatment
of disease until it is recognized that
sickness is sick thought expressed on
the body, and that sick thought 10 cast
out through spiritual understanding.
Material Methsds Ysn
"Anyone who goes back into the his
tory of material medicine Is impressed
by the fact that for practically every
dsea.ed condition there has been a
continual succession Of drugs, one fol-
lowing the other; and 1t is always
rlaimed for the last one, with the
greatest enthusiasm and positivcness
that it certainly does heal the disease,
md in support Of this contention there
lnay be offered the records Of many
Eases that have been cured. Human
Thought is not much given to retro
rpection along this line. II 1t we're it
woah remember that all the drugs

as far as possible to entertain only that
thought which we know to be of God,
the thought which has made us sick OF
unhappy is eliminated.
"Each inharmonious condition which
is overcome through spiritual under
standing increases ones consciousness
Of Joy and harmony. Every effort to-
wards spirituality and away from that
which is material brings rich reward
He that overcometh shall inherit all
things; and / will be his God, and he
shall be my SON. 80

ed with sufficient clarity to be given
to the world. So Christian Science
came as a result of patient, unfaltering
effort to know Gods law, and to the
one who possessed the qualities Of
thought which made its revelation hu-
manly possible.
Tt is the common experience Of
those who study Christian Science that
there comes to them q much larger,
clearer understanding Of God than they
had before.
elm discussing the nature of God let
us begin with the fact that God is
Mind, because by recognizing this we
are enabled to see more clearly the in
separable relationship which exists be
tween God and man, and to see that
because of this relationship man mani
tests the qualities of God, Of Mind, and
nothing else.
! The Divine Mind and Divine Idea
1 "In order that we may better under
stand the operation, the activity, Of
infinite Mind let us illustrate the d-
vine Mind by using the ordinary con-
ception of human mind as an ex-
ample. You say your friend has a fine
mind. You say you know this because
he has many fine ideas which he ex-
presses. You have never seen his mind
hut you have known the expression of
it in ideas. If he never moved a mus
Gle, never spoke word, you would
rightly conclude that there was no
mind there. SO mind to be called a
mind nrust be filled with ideas, and an
idea by virtue of being an idea must
be expressed. 1t is impossible to con
eeive of mind filled with ideas, yet
unexpressed; for mind with no ex-
preston is not = mind but blank.

Unreality of Matter

Unreality of Matter
because Il is true that man is the
idea of infinite Mind he can.n, be
malerial, AMI this material body vii;
have to % accounted TO- in some oller
way. Mat:er' seem very real to the
human mind, yet the deepest material
thinkers maintain that matter has no
existence in and for itself. They say
that it is simply a manifestation of
law. They see and admit that matter
is simply manifestation of material
thought, but they go on with line of
thought which maintains that these
material laws proceed from the Infinite
Being.
"Now Christian Science agrees with
them in admitting that matter is simply
an expression of thought but ienies ab-
solutely that this Thought is of God.
On the contrary it maintains that the
material man and the material unverse
are expressions of beliefs that arhe
counterfets Of the true ideas. The
material man manifests sin, sickness,
and materiality, which are the direct
opposites of those qualities of health,
holiness, and spirituality, which the
real and spiritual man must inevitably
! manifest as the image and likeness of
