Smith rocked Lynch in nearly

only served to make the champion
grouchy, and he would tear back.

Human Nature
W. 6,e
Christmas Spirit

XNE WERE full Of the Christmni
w spirit. We were going 10 be more
kindly, more charitable. more friendl,
with the whole world. The Christina,
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
lis warm glow. And so-nfter a glo
rious Christmas In the old homestead
we were on our way back 10 the cit,
where lately our work had tnken us.
The travel was heavy. OF course
and we found ourselves waiting n
tho end OF long line 10 get into the
dining car. We waited for nm hour b.
our watches. We were exhausted from
having stood and from annoyance nj
the slowness Of others and because we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But II seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last 10 eat took time
about II even though their absence
made the waiting line a shorter one.
; At last We were nt the head OF the
line. II had been long process to
work up TO this point and we smiled
at one another.
"Only a moment now and well be
eating" we fairly benmed the words,
BIT again II seemed not so. For
those at the tables were eating and
eating and eating. They would never
finish, IL appeared. When they ap-
preached the end Of their meal and we
almost bounded 10 tie nearly-vacant
table We discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee.
How selfish people are" we said to
each other. How much they lack the
unselfish Christmas spirit. II means
nothing TO theml They know there Is
great line waiting and they don't
hurry In the least. Why. just think Of
the length Of time we've waited and
there are more TO follow us. And yet
those people can be MS lelsurely as
though they were In their own homes.
It's outrageous, simply outrageous,
how utterly selfish people are.
And you would think at this time Of
the year they'd be a little more
thoughtful"
And to our exhaustion was added
the sorrow we felt In the thoughtless-
ness Of human nature.
And then-the head waiter sum-
moned us TO a table. Two persons had
at last arisen and at last our turns
had actually comel
We sat back and luxuriously perused
the menu. Well, we were hungry. We'd
have good meal!
And we began to order.
"And I'm just going to take my
time about 1t, too," I said. "Just be-
cause people stand there and glare at
us. as though we almost had no right
to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"
II should say not" said my COM
panion. "We'll take all the time in the
world in spite of their ugly looksw
II was some time later that we re-
membered the Christmas spirit we had
been SO full Of before!
Human nature VS.. Christmas spir-
It," we said sadly to each other.

LECTURER EXPLAINS
LACK OF MEDICINE

Oh Disease Prevention

DR.. John NJ, Tut, c. S, b., gave n
public lecture at the Lyceum theater
yesterday afternoon on christian
Science: The Leaven OF Spirit" DR.,
Tut Is a member OF the board OF lee
tureship OF the mother church. the
First church Of Christ. Scientist, al
Boston. ........--. ..
Delving into an intimate interpre-
tation Of just what Christian Science
Is, DR.. Tut said:
Doesn't Destroy Science
1T will be understood that Chris
tan Science does not come to destroy
,s.-cience, theology, and medicine, but
i<ther to leaven the human concept
sW them. 1t comes to purge out the
old lump. In the leavening, science
IL shorn Of physical letters, theology
ia cleaned of the misconcepts OF
creed and dogma, and medicine is re-
lieved OF matter and properly related
to mind. Thus capitalization OF
thought. raises the concepts OF science,
theology and medicine to higher ba-
sis, reveals them to be in truth modes
of divine mind, and restores them in
human consciousness to their rightful
place from which material theories
have debased them.
IT you were to ask any medical en-
thusiast to name the greatest, scienti-
p &c achievement of the age, doubtless
he would say: Preventive medi-
cine Now with that Christian
Science agrees, but points out that
since anything to be medicine, must
first be regarded as SUCH medicine is
mental, not material. Therefore pre-
ventive medicine begins with mind.
Mrs Eddy was the first in this age
to proclaim and to demonstrate that
health is a state of mind, not a state
of matter; that to procure and main
tain a we'll body 1t is necessary first
to have sound mind. She taught
that all sickness is based in thought
contamination, that people who think
clearly and correctly live that way
and are proportionately immune from
disease. She taught true sanitation to
be cleanliness OF mind and body. true
hygiene to be morality. true physio-
logy to be spirituality"
Hitting on the germ theory, Dr.
Tut said
But you say how can one question
the germ theory of disease when one
may readily see the actual germ un-
der the microscope? The germ theory
is not provable by the microscope any
more surely than a mirage of the
desert would be established as a real
ity because seen through a telescope.
Neither magnifytng nor minimizing
error can make 1t true.
LAS to the germ theory of disease,
there has arisen the usual failure of
the doctors to agree. A famous mill
tary surgeon. recently is reported to
have said that the more bacteria one
breathed, the less liable, one would
become to disease, because of the i'm
munity established through the sys-
tenn becoming accustomed to foul
conditions. In other words to be-
come immune from disease. get on
familiar terms with disease germs.
End Of Contagious Fear
THE abandonment of the germ
theory will mark the end of the fear
Of contaEon and preventive medi-
cine and public health will be estab-
lished to be cleanliness Of thought !
and action, the only way to health I

all, even as II Is now come with many
when the divine mind will supplant
matter in the treatment Of the sick
Even now, the healing art is impreg-
mated with the leaven Of spirit Chris
tan Science is illustrating the newt
able reunion Of religion and medicine
which must come to pass as both ad-
vance into more spiritual ATTITUDES.
There will come a day when the unity
Of health and holiness will appear.
Then religion at the sickbed will no
longer be helpless; then the pastor
making his rounds will no longer
delegate half his office to the medical
practitioner Then Christ will be
seen to be not only the head OF the

he goes on to say, the Saviour of the
