Illegal demaQd fees totaling $1,166.26

the property taxes instead of against

Regarding the Illegal demand fees, the
report says:
These fees were added to the taxes

other instances, only one fee was col

Hundreds of these items appear IN

THE law provides that where a levy Is

Regarding treasurers costs retained

 Mouftor)
 Fortunately for mankind. heaven is not a place but a state of Mind. Con- sequently a man stands consciously at the gate of heaven the moment he real izes this. and his future progress is dependent solely on his own readiness to lay aside the flesh and to follow closely in the footsteps of the Christ. Jesus made this perfectly clear in his reference to Abraham's bosom
 Dives and Lazarus had enjoyed, in this world. the one the delights, the other the agonies of matter. Each awoke out of the sleep which is called death to find himself alive on another mental plano of existence. But the experience of each on the former plane had opened a great gulf between them. The life of the rich man had been spent in mentally accommodating such evil dence of the pleasures of matter that reality of substance, from the hell or inharmony of which he now prayed in vain to be delivered. The beggar, on the other hand, had through his suf- ferings on the probationary plane lost any lust after matter. His sores and rags had been as real to him as the rich mans sumptuous fare and fine linen had been to him. But the misery of his surroundings had exposed the horrible truth about matter to him, and weaned him finally from it's 1echery in Jesus figure of speech. in Abra,- han'S bosom, in other words, in that condition which placed him by the side of Abraham, the friend of God: Abraham who had renounced the idol anies and passions of the land between

 not strong ono. As for Lazarus. the
 name is a co1loQuial abbreviation of Eleazar, and means God has helped; and Truth certainly did help the beg gar in a marvellous way, when it lifted him from the gutter and all it's miseries to place him in harmony in the bosom of Abraham. What, however, Truth did for Lazarus it will do for any. other human being who will deny himself, utterly, and walk in the footstep of the Christ.

 What did the beggar's suffer1ngs amount to now. what did the rich mans 1uxuries advantage him? Each was enjoying the effect Of his own thinking, with the result that the one was experiencing condition of men tai inharmony known as hell. and the other condition of mental harmony portrayed as Abraham's bosom. At the same time Jesus did not say that rsch man could not find spiritual har- mony: but he did say, not alone then. but repeatedly, in all the gorgeous imagery of the East, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the needles eye than for such a one to divorce his mind from matter.
 For some reason this is the only parable in which Jesus gave a name to any ono of the characters: and though a certain tradition exists to the effect that, for thfs very reason, the story is and that the name of the

the judging of unrighteous Judgment need only be harmful to the judge. since the judge is the only person nec- essarily excluded from heaven by the action. As for the person judged, if that person is really denying the re- ality of matter and the power of evil, then his conversation is in heaven; he has become. as Paul says. a citizen of the republic of heaven. and the efforts of2eyil. no matter how deliberately con- ceived, shall not come nigh him.
 It is this realization of safety, which comes with the consciousness of hay ing found Abraham's bosom, of being to an extent, no matter how slight, the friend of Principle. that indicates to a man his entrance into heaven. And with 1t comes the understanding of the one and only way to remain there and the assurance of the fact that nothing but your own failure can ever cast you back into hell.

treasure such a picture is to cling to inharmony instead of harmony, and to make the Christ healing an impossi- bility to yourself. Whoever holds to it will be rich as Dives was rich, in- stead of poor as Lazarus was poor. Jesus" Mrs. Eddy writes, on pages 476 and ATT of Science and Health. "beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where shining mortal man appears to morta1s. In this perfect man the Saviour saw Gods own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God is in- tact, universal, and that man is pure and holy" For did not Jesus himself say. The kingdom of God is within you?
 Heaven. then, is a mental state, and no man can enter it while seeing his neighbors as sick and shining human fty. that is, whilst making a reality of matter, for it was this belief in the reality of matter which sunk Dives into he'll in torment. But this very fact of the unreality of matter pre- vents mems evil thoughts from taking effect when met by a realization of the othingness of matter. Thus it is that

 Czecho-Slovakia contains a conglom- sration of races almost as bad as old Austria-Hungary. There are Czechs Bohemian, Moravian and SiIesian), Slovaks, Germans, Magyars, Ruthen- lans. Jews, Poles, and a scattering of others.

 This view is not justified by the facts and it is certainly not the view of the government.

 Masaryk Is Popular With All the
