SEVERAL HUNDRED
HEAR LECTURE ON
J. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Several hundred persons heard the
lecture given in the high school audi
forum Tuesday night by Judge Samuel
c. Greene. c. s., of Louisville, KY. on
Christian Science; the Religion Of
Fulfillment.''- The speaker was intro
duced by Postmaster c. B. Beck
Judge Greene's lecture follows in
part: +s-. ..-.
What the world is wanting-is seek
ing-is a religion that comes to the
sick and tells them how to be we'll !;
that comes to the discouraged and de-
spondent and lifts them out of the
slough of despair and despond into
the richness, into the fullness, into
the joy, of a closer walk with God.
Christian Science supplies this need,
through the spiritual Interpretation of
the Bible and the consequent spiritual
understanding of God: and enables
the world to find the rest and the
peace that are promised by the Mas
ter.
Christian Science comes teaching in
the very words of Jesus of old that
the kingdom of God, the kingdom of
Heaven, is at hands here, is now.

Through the practice and understand.

Christian Science in its healing min.
,istry is not a patent cure-all, nor is it
blind faith cure. It is not the action OF
will power, nor is it the action Of the
human mind. On the contrary, il
teaches that the human mind must
yield to the divine Mind, to that mind
which was also in Christ Jesus. In
proportion that Christian Science is
understood, the life and words OF
Christ Jesus become practicable fol

The Harding Way.

During the disarmament conferences
President Harding will not keep his
motor car in gear to rush to and from
the meeting place. He will be q close
observer of the proceedings, but not
a personal participant. He is willing
to trust his Secretary of State.
Moreover, on the delegation he plans
to have representatives of the Senate
one from the majority and one from
the minority. Other members are eN-
pected to be men of weight-neither
lackeys nor speaking tubes-aHd cap
able of forming their own judgments.
while at the same time not inscns.ble
Of the value of teamwork
The President is headed toward re
establishing normalcy in the handling
OF the country's international rela-
tions. He saw how a departure did
not work. So old-fash.oncd practices
seem specially good to him. A pru-
dent gentlemen, he would have any
arrangement arrived at indoIsed by
public opinion and ratified by the Sen
ate. It's safer to consult early those
who must some time be consulted.
The President has made no loud
beasts of his knowledge of psychology.

soon be developing grouchiness or
cantakerousness. No matter how easy
going man may be, no matter how
elastic and resilient his nature, the
strain Of the presidential office is ire
mendous, and the man who fills it
needs every means of relaxation he
can find. A responsibility of the most
onerous character rests upon him in
such times as these, and he cannot en-

PARTISAN ATTACK ON
PRESIDENT REBUkED
BY DEMOCRATIC PRESS
Democratic National Committee
Charged by Own Paper With
"Pop-Gun Politics."

Washington, Aug. 30.-The Demo-
cratic National Committee is finding
fault with President Harding because
ne exercises in the morning before Of
flee hours, plays golf in the evening
after office hours and knocks off"
work on Sundays. The Democratic
national headquarters just issued an
attack upon the President because he
does these things and takes too many
vacations" 1t prints a detailed list
of the number of times he has left
Washington since his inauguration.
There is total of ten counts in the
indictment.
OF the ten, five consist of trips that
the President has taken on Sundays,
either by motor or upon the president
ial yacht A sixth is the 30-mile auto
trip on Decoration Day to Pohick. Va,
where he made a memorial address.
A seventh was the trip he made to
Hampton Roads to review the Atlantic
fleet, which absented him from the
White House one day. The eighth
was his trip to New York on May "a,
at which time he delivered tribute to
the soldiers of the World War at Ho-
boken Pier where 5000 bodies of
American soldiers killed in France
were lying in state. The ninth was
a one days cruise down the Potomac
on the presidential yacht and the
tenth was his recent trip to Plymouth,
Mass, and his short vacation in the
New Hampshire mountains.
Repudiated by Own Press.
The general opinion of this partisan
attack upon the President can probab-
ly be no better expressed than was ex-
pressed in an editorial headed "Pop-
Gun Politics." which appeared in the
Baltimore Sun, which, next to the New
York World, is regarded as the strong
est Democratic paper in the East and
one Of the strongest in the United
States. The editorial said:
1--WE rise to suggest to the Democrat
ie statesmen in Washington that they
will not find rabble-rousing or vote
getting issue in n campaign-compila-
tion of Mr.. Harding's little vacations.
The fact IS that none of these little
trips has interfered in the slightest
degree with executive business, and
that Mr.. Harding has always been on
hand to do whatever was necessary
to be done. A President who
works too hard is a President who
will not work effectively. and who will

Wonderful Races
At Coming Fair
THREE TIMES As MANY ENTRIES
IN HARNESS EVENTS AS
EVER BEFORE; HOST OF
RUNNERS ALSO.

Il will be a three-to-one proposition
In the line of harness racing at the
state fair, which this year will be held
September 20 to 80 inclusive.
Three-to-one In this case means that
there are three times as many horses
entered as ever before.
From all over Colorado and adJoin-
ing states these horses are coming;
fact IL many of them are already on
the grounds, and some have been
there all winter, spring and summer.
II there wasn't anything else at the
fair the harness races alone would be
attra ction enough to bring the people
from everywhere.
Speed ring men throughout the
country have learned that they get
square deal at the Colorado state fair; /;
they have learned that the purses are
attractive, that the track and the eli
mate is good and that 1t pays to cut
out some other state fairs, IL neces-
sary, to come here, and they are do
ing 1t In a number of cases.
Result, the Colorado state fair gets
the best there are for the 1921 races.
There are SO many entries in some
of the events that in certain cases
they may have to be cut, making two
races out of one; otherwise there
would not be room for the horses on
the track. For instance, there are thir-
ty entries in the 2 "a class.
Racing begins Tuesday, September
n, and continues each day.
