territory by May 1, and elsewhere to the

PRAYER
It has already ben pointed out that
the practice of Christian Science in
wolves mental activity, an effort to
think in accord with God, the COOL
Mind. This right mental activity IS
true prayer and is the one way by
which individual man can cast off the
shades of hell and abide in heaven.
The Bible admonition, "Pray without
ceasing,J' is then seen to mean to
think rightly always. It is right men
tai activity based on a true concept Of
God and man. This is true prayer, a
vital, thinking activity.
1t is all mental process. Every
individual must sooner or later, hero
or hereafter, learn to pray Alright.
When one really discerns what true
prayer is, his prejudices give way and
he perceives it to be the highest joy
and privilege of man, for it is the as

THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE AND

The Bible and "Science and Health

textbook, are to the Christian Scient-

them he learns the truth that is science,

to solve the problem of life while dis
regarding the teachings and laws set
forth by those who have most clearly
perceived the primal facts of being,
including the great Way-shower who
overthrew the claims of incurable dis
ease and of death with the understand
ing of spiritual law. Merely to believe
that Christ Jesus once lived on earth
gets one no nearer heaven than to be-
lieve in the personal existence Of
Christopher Columbus. It is the uu.
derstanding of his teachings and his
methods that saves. The Bible states
Science and Health amplifies and
clarifies, the teachings of spiritual

HUGH MOORE RETURNS TO POST

Hugh Moore, who for more than ten
years was a trusted employe of this
office, and who left nearly two years
ago, trying southern Colorado, Oregon,
Washington and California, returned to
Glenwood last Monday night from Po-
mona, California, where he has been
employed the past several months, and
is now installed in his old position on
the Glenwood- Post.
Mr.. Moore is good printer and limo
operator, and he has many friends in
Glenwood who will be pleased to learn
of his return to the Post, as they
know by his former connection with
this office that he is ever ready to
serve Post customers with the latest
and best in the printing line.
As Mr.. Moore did not like Califor-
mia, hut yearned for good old Colorado,
and rs we were in search of good
printer who would give attention to
the needs Of the Post and its custom
ers, bargain was easily made, to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Mrs. Moore was not quite ready to
leave California, but will probably ar
rive about the middle of July.

given Thursday evening at the J. F..

Gus Holland and his bride, who have
just returned from their honeymoon

Mr.. and Mrs. Holland were asked to

and they had been there a very short
time when about fifty Of their friends,
who had met at the city hall, came in
on them, much to their surprise.
The bride and groom were the re-

numbers and also a number of vocal

also rendered several vocal numbers.
Delicious refreshments were served
to the party and all greatly enjoyed

When the word "home" is men,

the intense interest Of most people.
For uppermost IN the minds Of hum
dreds Of thousands is the question Of
where they are going to live. Build
ing has been at standstill since be-
fore the war. Rents have been soar
ing untfl they have reached point
where many cannot pay. Naturally
they turn to the thought which they
had ignored years before, viz, that
Of buying or building home. Once
established in a house Of their own,
their worries over landlords, in
view of the shortage existing today
more people than ever Defore are CIV
ing the idea of building ''home Of
your own very serious consideration.
A man who owns his home is not IL
able to become Bolshevist. on the
contrary he is more than liable to be-
come very serious-minded citizen
taking an active interest in civic af-
fairs and jealousy guarding the inter
ests of his community. No one ever
went to war over boarding house.
hut men all through tie centuries
have died defending tlcir homes.
That is the beauty of home ownership,
that is the feature that makes it es-
sential to the continued welfare and
progress of any nation.

that can be used in home construction.
