A LECTURE
Christian Science
The Restorer
by
William w. Porter, c. S. B.
Member of the Board Of Lectureshil
Of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Mass.

The following lecture was delivered
at the Grand opera house in DEBORAH
last Sunday afternoon, and a large
crowd greeted the lecturer, William
w. Porter, C. S. B., of Boston, Mass.
NATURAL DEVELOPMENT
The demonstration of Christian
Science in the healing of the sick
and the reconstruction of human
thought on lines of right activity is
to-day an accomplished and acknow-
lodged fact. 1t is evident that if the
existing systems of religion and
medicine had been adequate to meet
the needs and to satisfy the desires
of mankind, no other system would
ever have been necessary or even
possible.
Existing systems of religion and
Imedicine represent and encourage the
belief that evil, disease, discord, and
death are real, that they belong to
the natural order of things.
These same systems then try to
overcome and destroy the evils thus
held to be legitimate and natural.
II these evils are legitimate, natural,
and real, why try to destroy them {?
On the other hand, if these discord-
ant manifestations are not real, nor
NAL, and legitimate, let the facts
presented by Christian Science in re-
gard 10 the unreality of matter, evil,
sickness, discord, death, be approach
ed and measured honestly and justly;
and above all with the desire to be
consistent in premises as well as in
conclusions.

Free Adyertisins.

The best advertising costs nothing
in money.
Because it can't be bought with
money.
Every job well done is a good adj
Vertisement for the man or company
doing it.
The telephone girl with a smile in
her voice is good advertisement for
herself and the company that en-
ploys her. The courteous treatment
eff statesmen and other visitors
is good advertisement.
Rudeness, sloppy work, mistakes,
failures to keep promises-these will
drive away work faster than publish
ed advertising will bring it in.
"A man read series of bank adver-
tisernents which told how this par
ticular bank welcomed new custom
er; how the officers iwere always
"glad to talk it over" how small ac-
counts received the same attention
as large accounts, etc.
So the man decided to open an ac-
count with an initial deposit of ST.
OOe. A teller referred him to one of
the vice presidents.
As he approached this officers desk
he observed that a customer was be-
ing handed a stiff bawl out. When
the customer had been properly trim
med, the vice president turned to the
man and asked what he wanted.
was thinking of opening an &C
count here" began the man.
You'll have to maintain a balance
of $780," snapped the vice president.
"No won't" said the man, "be-
cause I'm not going to open an ae-
count here after all. l don't like the
place" And he left.

icy and praeticing another.-News-

IN I'nthinkable Tragedy.

Some calamities are so terrible
that il is difficult to realize them.
OF this kind is the impending trag-
edy in Europe, where 3,5oo,0oo little
children are on the point of starva-
ton. The horrors of the war pale
before this sickening tragedy.
That this multitude Of innocent
little creatures, who have all life
before them and have deserved moth
ing but kindness from all the world
should be snuffed out of existence fol-
lack of food and warm clothing
seems unthinkable. II is impossible
TO believe that 'all the comfortable
and prosperous people of America
will keep on enjoying their luxuries
while doing nothing for these SILVER
ing and famished little ones who are
about to perish. 1t can not be. The
folks here in DEBORAH must do their
share to help.

Wild Geese in the British Isles.

The tribe of wild geese of Europe
are birds of mystery. Their nesting
grounds, and thus their true homes,
are in the far north, in the wilds Of
Spitzbergen, and on the inaccessible
island of Kolguev. 1t is only as viSi-
tors that they come to the British
Islands, for in the regions that APP
proach the pole winter comes early,
and thus all bird life is driven south
ward. flying at incredible speed on the
arms of the north wind as they make
for their winter quarters in more hos
pitable lands.

Why Not Bet Acquainted With Your
Battery?

Battery?
Talk to the average motorist
about carbuereter adjustments, cylin-
der synchronism, gear shaft align
ments, or any simple little matter
like that remarked Mr.. Mccall,
manager of the local 'Exide' Service
Station, "and he's right with you on
every count. Ask him to explain to
you the action of his storage bat
terry and he'll usually go down to
the end of the class without a strag-
gle.
And yet there is ne real reason
for this. Any chap who can figure
out the elemental mechanics of an
automobile possesses plenty Of in
.telligence with which to dope oat his
battery. And he ought to do it. Ex-
perience proves that the more a
motoriSt knows about the internal
arrangements of his car, the better
care he is going TO take of them
and my personal opinion is that
many a good starting and lighting
battery is ruined just because its
owner doesn't know the few simple
principles of its action. I'm not
much of lecturer, but it is my OBJ
ject, just as it is that of every other
'Exide' Service Man the country
round, to help my customers to get
the absolute best out of their bat
teries; and I'm willing to sit down
any time and give them an enlight-
ening little discourse on the what's
and why's of storage battery theory
and practice. I'm there to bet that
the average life of the average bat
terry in these parts would be con-
siderably heightened if they absorb
ed my advice and that my job would
be more cheerful one. For even so
husky a product as the 'Exide' is a
good deal like the garden variety of
husband-it's much better to live
with when it's properly understood"

GRATITUDE TO MRS. EDDY
Christian Scientists have a tender
regard, love, and gratitude for their
revered Leader 1t would not be right
to assume that there is anything in
the nature of personal worship in
this attitude. On the contrary, this
feeling of regard and gratitude is
in acknowledgment and recognition
of the broad, universal service which
characterized Mrs. Eddy's life.
From the time of her healing on
that memorable Sunday morning in
the year 1866, Mrs. Eddy's life was
scent consistently and exclusively in
unfolding the facts connected with
her healing in such terms and man.
Iner as would best be understood by
the human mind. 1t was necessary
that these facts should be rightly
correlated, and the science which
governed them made clear, in order
that mankind always shall have at
hand the means to alleviate and heal
sin, sickness, and sorrow.
Likewise, my friends, the recogni-
ton is growing among intelligent
people everywhere that the works of
Christian Science reflect the exist
ence of definite law, and that the
operation of this law is available in
Christian Science to heal and bless
all mankind in the degree that it is
rightly understood and put into
practice.
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TEXT
BOOK
The statement of this law, or
Christian Science, and the method of
application are found in all of the
writings of Mrs. Eddy, more es-
pecially in the book "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
which is the only textbook on Christ
ian Science healing.
This book is unfolding to mankind
the true idea of Causation or God.
This embodiment is reflected in a
higher idea Of life, more adequate
health, courage, confidence, honesty,
and good will. AS these fruits of
Christian Science come into your ex
perlence you will recognize that they
belong to and identify the nature or
character of God. They will be to
you the witness of Emmanuel, or
GOD with uS,'-God with Won

FIRE AT THE cuLLEY FARM
OCCASIONS HEAVY LOSS

Fire at the Sim ]. Culley ranch
stead on the DeGraw farm south Of
Weston Thursday morning at about
$3.50 o'clock destroyed the machine
sheds and blacksmith shop, a track
layer tractor, a combine, plows,
wagons, grain tanks and tools.
Practically all Of Mr.. Culley's farm
machinery went up in smoke with
the exception of some drills which
had been left on another place, and
the loss is estimated at more than
$4,000. Only the combine was in
sured. One of the machine sheds
had been recently built. The fire
had attained such Roadway when
seen by the waking ranch hands
that nothing could be done except to
save, by hard work, the barn and
granary. The farm residence was
not in danger. The flames are sup
posed to have gotten their start from
a forge fire used in the blacksmith
shop the night before.

Ten million people in the Unit

These conclusions were derived
from a tabulation OF mental tests
Of 100000 men in the draft

tests in turn were confirmed by
examination of selected groups
picked according to military quail
