A Cure for Faultiinding
The Youths Companion

1t is so easy to find fault. so
easy to stand by and criticize
what others do, 10 imagine what
might have been accomplished
and 10 set it up as a fatal standard
for what has been accomplished!
To slip into the habit of thinking
such things is dangerously easy,
and when we think them it is
difficult to refrain from saying
them. Perhaps the best cure is
to say little or nothing; but for
the most part humanity is not
contrived that way.
A help to preserving better
attitude in the matter-is to con-
slider not so much what people
have actually done as what they
tried to do. Once understand
what they were aiming at and
you will understand something
of their difficulties. and perhaps
in the end you will be astonish-
ed, not that they have accom-
plished SO little, but that they
have accomplished SO much.
Also that understanding will
be vastly facilitated if you go
farther and consider whether in
their place you would have done
exactly the same, or even less
we'll. You are human as they
are, your means and capacity are
limited as theirs ale. perhaps
even more limited. When you
estimate the complication of cir
cums:ances and put yourself,
your own blundering, mistaking,
regrettlng. ever-recommencing
self, right into them, your toI
erance for the failures of others
will be immensely increased.
For this is the best cure of all:
instead of dwelling upon the
faults OF others, 10 give a little at
tention, or even a good deaf Of
attention, to your own. 1t is
really quite as easy to find flaws
in your own large field of1ifa as
in others, in fact much easier.
since you are even more familiar
with your own mistakes than
with theirs. The trouble is that
it is much. less agreeable. This
little unkindness, that little social
awkwardness. the sharp, harsh
word you uttered yesterday when
a small matter went wrong-it is
much more unpleasant to re-
member those than to point out
friends shortcomings. 1t is.
however, much more profitable
chose were wise words Of Or.

text, In Him we live and move and

status of man and not merely an emo
tional theory. 1t declares emphatical-
ly that evil is not a person, place OF
thing; that it is not cause or creator
and that there is no realm or dominion
over which evil is the sovereign pow
er. IN fact, it denies that evil has any
power except such asst assumes in hui
man belief and it then destroys this
assumed power by overcoming the hui
man mind with the divine Mind.
Worship of One True God
Christian Science presents to you
the conception of God as infinite Mind
Spirit Soul, Principle, Life, Truth
Love. 1t presents nothing about Hin
save that which is supported and sus
tanned by Bible authority and which is
rational and comforting. When it is
perceived that God is infinite divine
Mind it at once becomes apparent that
like produces like, hence His creation
must Of necessity be mental and mo-
material. God must be sought anC
found, If at all, through the avenue o.
divine Mind and not in or through
matter. It then becomes clear that the

Are Wide Awake.
Christian Scientists freely admit
that such conditions of mind and body
should not exist among Christian PEG
pie. Common observation will con
vince any rational person that much
confusion Is due to the lack of abso
lutte knowledge regarding the sources
of good and evil. Christian Scientists
do not close their eyes to these aPpar
emily alarming conditions. Indeed
they are wide awake to the real cause
and are doing the only thing that car
be done to destroy these false beliefs
and to maintain these humane pre-
sumptions, not merely in theory but BY
making them real, enduring basic laws

source of all good and that the human

qualities of that divine Mind which
created him. This fact accounts for
his ability to think. Even though NOR
tails have a very faulty and imperfect
knowledge of the operation OF Mind
and believe that thoughts have their
origin in the human brain, yet thought
existed before and independently Of
brain tissue and emanates from the
one Mind, God This conclusion is
further supported by the fact that all
mortals as infants are fully equipped
with brain tissue. No one, however,
will seriously contend that an infant
exercises the functions OF rational
thinking. In our more advanced ex-
perience as thinkers the material eie-
ments of the brain remain the same.
Thought, however. unfolds, expands
and develops, eliciting the conclusion
that the brain-as materials no in
herent intelligence and is not the
source Of mental action.
God Infinite Love
God is also defined as infinite Love
This term expresses His divine ma
ture and His compassionate relation
to His children. This divine nature
accounts for His infinite goodness and
His watchful, protecting care. Since
God is infinite Love, this fact implies
infinite goodness and since He pos
sesses all power, all presence and al
knowledge, it follows as a necessary
conclusion that all manifestations o.
Him must partake of His goodness

of destruction, which are no part o

The opinion is often enormously

that many of those who are engaged
in other modes of healing are per

INVISIBLE EYE"
LADIES ORGANIZED
BY MRS. TYLER

atlanta. Ca, Sept. 21.-Mrs
Elizabeth Tyler. high in the coun
ellis Of the Ku Klux Klan, playes
an important part in the organ
ization Of 'The Ladies OF the In
visible Eye" who began operations
In Fort Worth, Texas, recently BY
severely beating Mrs. !. H. Tatum
an elderly woman.
Although Mrs. Tyler, who
recently married motion picture
man here. declined to make a
statement today, the information
was drawn from H. w. Evans, I'm
perial Kligraph of the Klan, that
several women s Auxiliaries, )
have been formed in Texas and
Oklahoma recently and that Mrs
Tyler has handled mass of cor
respondence with the state organ
izations.
These women's organizations Z
said Evans, were founded along
principles identical with those OF
the khan, but none OF the organ
izations has been officially recog-
nized by our empire yet. The I'M
perial Kloncilium, when it meets
in Atlanta in November, will take
steps to receive the women fra
ternities into the klan as auxil-
iaries.'
Both Evans and f. L. Savage,
the klan's chief OF staff, admitted
organizations of women in |
sympathy with the khan have cor
responded with Imperial Head
quarters for several months, but
declared these women would have
no official connection with the
Klan until the Kloncilium meets.
Asked what part Mrs. Tyler took
in forming the organization,
Evans said:
"She has been interested for
many months in getting the. wo-
men together. She thought the
Southwestern States would be best
to start in, and her idea was to ;
speak to other sections later. {
