Those Called of God.

1t is sometimes charged that
Christian Scientists make too much
of the healing ministry of this Science.
but the critics should remember the
lesson of the Beatitudes, that only
two groups of thinkers are really
prepared for the kingdom. What
Jesus iterated in the Beatitudes, he
reiterated in the Parable of the
great Supper. When the invitations
to the feast were given out, you may
remember, all made excuses. One
had purchased some land, so he
could not come; another oxen, and
so on. They all begged to be ex-
cused but one. That one could not
come because he had married a wife.
They were all so absorbed in ma
terial things that they gave no heed
OF the feast found it necessary to
turn to those who might be awaken
ed through suffering to seek the
kingdom. He invited the poor, the
MANNED, the halt and the blind
those that mourn, and still there
was room, for not even human suf-
fering had alienated the faith of
many from their reliance on mat
ter.
Such lessons have taught the
Christian Scientist to serve fthose
he l,.o Of hnx
are ready and willing to receive the
blessing according to the plan of our
great Master. Unless they come
willingly, through the teaching or
through the healing, they are not
prepared to understand the spiritual
message; for spiritual things must
be spiritually 'discerned." Jesus
warned us, moreover, not to give
thought. How many there are who
have read a few pages of our text
book, only to declare with a sweep
ii the hand, There is nothing in
it, Even so, the healing challenges
attention and it cannot be explained
away. One should remember that
ttherc is something else beside hui
man intellect necessary to compre-
bend spiritual things. 1t is indeed
that spiritual sense, born of God
which overcomes sin and disease
first in ones self, and then in others
But il one is welded to some posi-.
tion in his church, business or so
eiety, and he begs to be excused, he
is not ready for the blessing. Hence
the uselessness of all proselytine
propaganda, God must indeed oper
the way to every sincere seeker
through Gods own ideas.

When Mrs. Eddy established hel

Animal Magnetism.


It should be perfectly evident
that one can never suffer from
aught that comes from the spiritual
Mind, for that Mind brings only life
and peace. If he suffer at all, then,
it must come from the carnal mind,
which is sin and death, and it must
be by reason of his belief that God
is afar off, which really is not true.
Suffering, then, is really just a
false belief about Gods absence; for
when one realizes Gods ever pres
ence, the belief disappears and the
healing Presence appears. ST. Paul
lief when he said, The good that l
would, l do not; but the evil which
l would not, that l do" The same
condition was referred to also by
Job, who declared, when 1 looked
for good, then evil came unto me;
and when / waited for light, there
came darkness" Such mental dark
ness therefore is but a belief of
Gods ABSENCE belief in a power
apart from God.
The belief in a power apart from
God, which seeks to pervert ones
natural goodness is referred to by
our dictionaries as animal magne-
tism.' 1t is not modern invention,
as you may observe from the refer
ence to it by Job and st. Paul. Bible
scholars concede the Book of Job to
be one of the oldest in the Bible, and
this Book describes in detail how
Job succeeded in clearing himself
from the influence of animal mag
netism so that he could finally de-
clare, "Yet in my flesh shall I see
God"
Animal magnetism is undoubtedly
what is meant by the term Satan
in the Bible. 1t changed the truth
of God into lie," according to st.
Paul land worshipped and, served
the creature more than the Creator
Its mental occultism was employed
by the magicians and sorcerers to OPP

the prohets and apostles. The mod

are known as mesmerism, hypno-
tism, spiritualism. theosophy and
such like. These systems all en-

mite belief of mind would need to
be transferred from one place tC
another, and since it believes in the
absence of God. it must be false
belief.

Tilden, although he appeared fatigued
outclassed Washer in the first set. The
champion had difficulty with his scrv-
ice. which was once broken through.
and in two other games his play was
below his usual standard.
He showed improvement, however. in
the last two games, taking the eighth
from Washer on the Belgian's service
and then winning on his own service in
the final game with the loss of only
one point.
In the second set Tilden rallied after
being behind. one game to three. and
outplayed washer, who was beginning
to tire from his strenuous efforts to
cover the court against Tilden's fine
placing. The champions chop stroke,
which had been Offset to some extent by
the Belgian's speed, now became more
effective, and Tilden used it constantly.
During the seventh game rain began tc

WOMEN PLAY FOR
STATE TITLE TODAY
Miss Townsend Meets Miss
Walsh for Tennis Honors
at Merton
2::3O P. N. STARTING HOUR
BY SPICK HALL

Yesterday afternoon Miss Phyllis II.
Walsh and Miss Anne b. Townsend
were friends on the tennis courts. To-
day they are friendly enemies. They
meet In the final round of the Pennsyl-
vania and Eastern States women s
championships in singles at the Merton
Cricket Club, Havcrford The match
is scheduled to begin at $50 o'clock
and. according to the committee, It will
be started on the minute.
Miss Walsh and Miss Townsend have
met but once this season. Early in
the spring. when Miss Walsh replaced
Mrs. Gilbert a. Harvey at first singles
on the Country Club team because of
the latter's illness. she trimmed Miss
Townsend in an interclub match. But
that counts little. Since that time both
have improved wonderfully, and each
is playing the best game Of her career.
Bill White, the Merton professional
says that it is nm even bet If there
ever was such thing.
The match will be n fast one, as
both play the same type of game and
play it along masculine lines. Each
takes the net whenever the opportunity
offers itself. both are good at the bar
ricr. both drive accurately and fast and
both have keen services. SO the best
way to pick the winner is look at the
score when the match is over.
Yesterday Miss Walsh and Miss
Townsend. both playing from Merton,
won the doubles title by defeating Mrs,
Harvey, of the Country Club, and Mrs.
NJ. Brooke Huff. of the Cricket Club
The count was T-J. 6-1.
Miss Walsh and Miss Townsend did
just what was predicted for them
they took the net quite often and when
they reached there, they volleyed well
usually scoring the point. Toward tn;
last of the match Mrs. Harvey ant
Mrs. Huff tried to stave off defeat by
starting lobbing game, but it wa'
too late. for Miss Walsh and Miss
Townsend had so much confidence BY
this time that they smashed the lob'
with the same accuracy that they ha5
been cutting off the drives at the net
Miss Walsh and Miss Townsend bOtl
served wonderfully well, while Mrs
Harvey and Mrs. Huff were triil'
weak on delivery.
