1t certainly makes me proud to be
identified with a business that has
voluntarily agreed TO limit its profits
TO such a reasonable and defensible
figure as particularly in these
days OF profiteerlng-and business
which, while paying its losses as they

public is also helping to make bet

constantly lowering cost of fire in

CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST
SAYS SIN is FORGIVEN
Judge Greene in Lecture Declares
Nothingness of Evil Must
Be Understood.

1t has sometimes been asked if
Christian Science teaches that sin is
forgiven. said Judge Greene in a lee
ture on Christian Science at the Ma
sonic Auditorium last evening. 1t
does. he declared, and sin is forgiven
when its nothingness is understood
and the sinner no longer indulges
therein.
The lecturer continued as follows:
ITO pray for forgiveness, and to
continue in sin does not raise a man
to any new state of consciousness or
Wen being. 1t is like praying to an
idol, it does not accomplish anything.
but to know and understand that the
illusions called in are unreal, and con-
fer no sweetness. or power. is to rise
above sin and destroy it, consequently
to find forgiveness.
Evil is unreal, but we come to an
understanding of this as the result of
thought and demonstration. One does
not learn mathematics by beginning
with trigonometry and calculus, but
by learning that one and one are two;
two and two are four, and by working
his way up through arithmetic, alge-
bra and other branches to higher
mathematics; so with all science and
so with Christian Science. Ones un-
and demonstration. Would you know
what is meant by demonstrating or
proving the unreality of evil? One
can prove the unreality. the nothing
ness of evil by proving the all-ness of
God. Let us begin simply-we all be-.
1ieve that God is good and that God
is love. Let US go forth tomorrow
with the thought of Gods goodness
and love in all things. Let US see
nothing, say nothing, do nothing. be
nothing. believe nothing, that is un-
like goodness or love. Do you hear
a man cough? Do not turn instantly
and fix cold or influenza or any other
disease upon him. That would be un-
like goodness and love. Know that
God never made a cough, therefore it
is unreal and does not belong to man."
Judge Greene, who lectured under
the auspices of Third Church of
Christ, scientist, of this city, is
member of the board of lectureship
of the mother church. the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
He was introduced by Mrs. Leona
Crabb, second reader.

SEEK IMMEDIATE
TARIFF ENACTMENT
1000 Manufacturers at Con-
vention Cite Remedy for
Unemployment.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 30.-A demand
for the immediate enactment of an
adequate protective tariff bill was
voiced last night in resolutions adopt
ed by more than 1000 manufacturers
from over eighteen states who attend
ed the national conference Of state
manufacturers associations.
"The remedy for unemployment Is
more work in our factories" the reso-
1utions declared, (which is not to be
expected as long as large proportion
OF our industries are para1yzed by the
failure of Congress to complete the
pending tariff legislation"
The resolution then declared that
in view of the present depressed con-
ditions of American industry, the
abnormally low cost of production
abroad and the unprecedented 6epre-
citation of currency of countries seek
kets of the United States, 1t Is our
solemn conviction that it is impera-
tive that there be no further delay
in the enactment of an adequate pro-
tective tariff bill and that Congress
and the administration proceed at
once to complete the program to
which. they stand committed before
the nation"
Address by Mr.. Fordney.
The resolutions were adopted after
the conference had been addressed by
Representative ]. w. Fordney of the
House ways and means committee,
who explained the American valua-
tion provisions of the pending tariff
bill.
I'VE are importing at the rate of
about $300.000,000 worth of foreign
goods per month into the United
States" he said. Most of these goods
could be made here. There Is not a
United States in which the labor cost
IS less than 80 per cent of the total
cost-following the raw material from
start to finish.
.o" ,,Sow, SoS if that is true Of the $780,;
each month to buy foreign-made
goods, s25O,oOO,0 600 is going out from
the people of the United States to
employ German. French. English.
Japanese and Chinese labor, while
in idleness.
Unless the American valuation
plan ia adopted there Is little hope
fn the seGur
Foreign made goods. and there is
little hope of this country being put
IN position to maintain the present
standard of living of the American
workingman and woman.
Explains Ad ValOrem Clause.
Under the proposed plan of as
sessing ad valorem duties on i'm
ported merchandise, the word value
means the price at which comparable
and competitive products of the
United States are ordinarily sold in
wholesale quantities. whereas under
the present law the duties are as
ssssed on the wholesale price Of the
commodities in the country from
which they are exported to the United
States"
The conference after hearing Mr..
Fordney adopted resolution de-
claring the valuation proposal "a
fundamental necessity of the pend
ing tariff bill.
