CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,
THEME OF LECTURE
William D. Kirkpatrick of De-
troit Speaker at Meeting in
Washington Church.

Christian Science is primarily and
exclusively the religion of Jesus the
Christ" said William ID. Kirkpatrick,
G. S. B., of Detroit, Mich, in lecture
on The Religion of Christian Sci
ence." last night at the First Church
of Christ. Scientist. He was intro
duced by Elmer /. Baldwin, first
reader of FIRST Church.
Return to Primitive Faith.
The speaker declared Christian Sci
ence is a return to the teachings of
primitive Christianity and as such it
must necessarily include the practice
of healing which eXemplified the life.
not only of Jesus. but the lives, as
well. of many of the early Christians
even the lives of those who had
never been taught of Jesus
We have been prone to think that
the he aling of the sick, the MANNED,
the halt and the blind by Jesus and
by his disciples and apostles was the
outcome or result of special dis
pensation from God to Jesus which
was, in turn, passed along by him to
his followers in some mysterious or
occult manner" he said. That is,
we have been taught to believe that
the healing works accomplished by
Jesus were the manifestations of a
superhuman power with which Jesus
was especially endowed to distinguish
him from the rest of mankind: that
this power was something mysterious
and that it is in nowiSe the heritage
of all who obey God.
This is q very erroneous concept
of Jesus and of the import of his holy
mission and it is concept which has
robbed Christianity of the very es-
Sence of that for which Jesus Strug-
gled and for which he permitted his
CruCifiXion.
Discusses Christ's Example.
What Jesus accomplished by way
of healing and saving was the posi-
tive result of His mental application
of scientific principle. Jesus was
the only truly scientific man who ever
lived, and He scarcely uttered word
or accomplished a deed that was not
in direct opposition to what we have
always conceived to be physically or
materially scientific.
The discoverer and founder of
Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy,
has given to the world a concept of
God which always attributes all
power to Him, and which is making
it possible for millions of earnest,
honest people to so demonstrate their
God bestowed relationship with the
Father that once again are the sick
being healed, the sorrowful being
cOIul OTt6u anu lIe SlHHtIS ptllS
saved as was done in Jesus time.
Mrs. Eddy, among other things, dis
covered that God is divine mind. And
on careful reflection it becomes quite
apparent that God must be mind, else
how could He be the all-wise, the
governing, controlling and directing
Intelligence of the universe and man,
which the Bible declares Him to be-
The wonder of it is that it took a
iva 70 Ito
cover so simple and self-evident
fact"

Rev. DR.. Joseph r. Sizoo will again
occupy the pulpit of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church. He has
been away for two months, summer
ing with his family on Lake Wanak-
sink, n. Y. He will preach tomorrow
morning on Juniper Trees" There
will be no night service. The night
services will be resumed the first
Sunday of October.
Mr.. SiZoo came to Washington last
May as the minister of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, sue
ceeding DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. Since
coming to this historic church MIR.
Sizoo has had time to familiarze
himself with the organization and de-
tail of the church. A reception tend
cred him by the church and another
given by DIR. and Mrs. Wallace Rad
cliffe enabled Mr.. SiZoo to meet many
Washington people, so that his circle
of friends is already large.
The church has become very ac-
tive. All the organizations are at
work with great enthusiasm and the
members are looking forward to a
very much enlarged program this
Fall.
Mr.. Sizoo will be the speaker this

Department of Agriculture
Sums Up Conditions Caus-
ing Setback to Crop.

The Crop Reporting Board Of the
Department of Agriculture. in a sum-
mary of crop conditions, SAYS:
Prospects for cotton production in
the Atlantic States, except Florida,
greatly declined during the latter
half Of September. Excessive rains
checked the opening of bolls, and
caused rotting of lint and sprouting
Of seed. Lint was lost by beating
rains. Much of the lint has been re-
duced in grade. Some bolls consid-
cred safe in the middle OF September
were later found to be in bad condi-
ton.
I'm North Carolina some of the
worst conditions are found where the
previous dry weather prevented the
weeyil from doing much damage. In
this area few of the boIls had open
ed and, in their green state, the long
wet period was very favorable to
weevil damage. Continuous rains in
Georgia from September l3 to 80
damaged many of the opened and
cracked bolls and water-soaked even
bolls that were otherwise sound.
THE cloudy, rainy weather that
prevailed in the cotton area from
Virginia to Georgia resulted in great
ly increased weevil activity. Weevil
punctures made an ideal place for rot
to begin. In the southern two-thirds
Of Georgia weevils have become nu-
merous and they have punctur ed
many bolls. since practically no
squares were forming for them to
feed on.
Rains and consequent damage in
Alabama were less severe than in the
Atlantic States"
