INTEREST IN
HEALING
Christian Scientist Asserts
Cures Come About Through
Spiritual Processes.

every man Is interested in heal
ing, directly or indirectly, because
Of his personal need, or because OF
the need of some one closely re-
lated to him." Judge Samuel w.
Greene. Christian Science lecturer.
of Louisville, KY, declared last
night in an address before the First
Church of Christ. Judge Greene tH
a member of the board Of lecture
ship of the First Church OF Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. Mass.
Judge Smith declared that lin
the earlier yearc Of Christian
Science a great ina jorjty Of its adj
herents became interested through
the desire. for healing. Even now
it is a subject of large interest to
all people" he said.
Christian Science does not, as
some believe, lay greatest stress
upon physical healing. 1t teaches
even as Jesus taught, that through
the understanding and acceptance
OF Christ is salVation--flll and per-
feet. This means not only as the
othordox teaches salvation from sin
but salvation from sorrow and al
human discord.
Tho healing of physical disease
socaIled, in, Christian Science comes
about through spiritual processes
In the many recorded heahngs done
by Jesus, the ultra-materialtS'
would scarcely contend that. ma
terial remedies were used. Their
is indeed the lone case Of tn
blind man on whose eyes clay wal
placed by. Jesus, but even tina
would hardly encourage the ma
terial enthusiast today in the us
of clay to heal blind eyes, Judg'
Greene asserted.

ADVENT SEASON
US|H.|.E|'RED IN
SUNDAY
Period Between Tomorrow and
Christmas Is One Of
Preparation.

Tomorrow being the Sunday near.
est ST. Andrews Day, or the fourth
Sunday before Christmas, is ceIe-
brateds in Episcopal and other apos-
tolic. churches as Advent Sunday =
and the three and a traction weeks
remaining before Christmas is
known as the advent season.
The word advent, means com
ing, and the advent season is for
spiritual preparation for the cello
bration of the first coming Of the
Son of God made man, which takes
race on Christmas Day, and for
contemplation Of His second com.
ing in glory to Judge the world.
In spite Of the warning OF JESUS
that it, was mot for them to know
the. times and the seasons which
the Father hath Put in His own
power" the apostles and epistleists
were firm in their belief that the
second coming was not far in the
future, and ST. Paul wrote, 1.-THE
night is far spent: the day is al
hand" This is the thought thai
IL carried through all the services
during the season OF advent.
The division Of the church year
into seasons is spoken of in the
church histories as mot of EARLY
origin. = yet it is. known to have
existed since the sixth century.
The present arrangement in the
Church of England, and therefore
In the Episcopal Church in Amer
lea, is taken direct from the Gus
toms in vogue in the Cathedral OF
SALISBURY in 1895

The fact that Nuxated Iron Is today

YOUR BEAUTY
"A FEW RULES THAT MAKE FOR EYE BEAUTY

Der of hours Of sleep in a dark
room.
Keep your eyes clean. Use an
eyecup with warm water to battle
them, or you may prefer pure
rosewater. Turn the eyecup up
side down so that your half-opened
eye may get the full benefit of the
contents. If your eyes are partic-
ularIy tired, or irritated after ex-
posture to the dust, it may be well
to throw away the contents of the
cup after the first bath; rinse the
cup and give the eyes a second
bath with rosewater. A good plan
Is to use rosewater in the morn
ing and plain warm water at night,
for tired eyes should be bathed
twice day. And be sure that the
rosewater is 100 per cent pure.
The balls of the eyes should
not have the yellow tinge that l.
seen now and then, and which Ia
dicates something wrong with the
general health.
Probably If your eyes have this
unbecoming yellow tinge in their
whites you need to get out in the
fresh air more, and to eat and
drink more simply. Drink plenty
of water, especially in the morn
ing. Eat all the fruit and salads
you can.
Some women have the habit Of
making hard work of reading.
They tense the muscles of their
eyes and scowl at their work,
which is entirely unnecessary.
Remember. seeing is as natural
as breathing. Just you let your
eyes rest lightly on the printed
paAe. That is enough.
We too often make hard work
of all we do when better results
would be attained by trying less
tensely and enjoying our work
more. And this applies to use OF
the eyes, as we'll as to all the other
activities of life.
Let us use our eyes without ef-
fort and with full enjoyment Of all
the beauty and charm that are
everywhere, just waiting to he
! seen by US, and-if you follow
these few precautions-your eyes
viii be beautiful.
