Christ Science or divine laws of Life, Truth and Love, and named my dis covery Christian Science. God had been graciously preparing me during many years for the reception of this final revelation of the absolute di- vine Principle of scientific mental healing" These years of prepara- ton had been years filled to the full with sickness, sorrow and disap- pointmentst. The arrogant human mind finds it difficult to under stand why it was that the bearer of Gods great message was a quiet, man, for human reasoning fails to see the divine law and order eX- pressed in Mrs. Eddy's discovery. But He who sent the message must needs choose the messenger and His wisdom could not err. Beneath the gentle-mannered personality was a heart filled with high resolves, a courage that never faltered, and consciousness ever turning to God, listening to hear, willing to obey. No other was so ready and no other could inscribe so well the divine ut terance which Science and Health gives to men.
 Like Christ Jesus, Mrs. Eddy dis cerned that only by it's healing works can a church justify its existence Because the Christian Science church is based on this unshakeable founda ton it has withstood the most in sidious attacks aimed at Christianity since the time of Jesus.
 PRIDE NOT OF GOD
 One of the most common barriers to spiritual progress is pride. It may pride of class or race, or pride in the superiority of our own personal opinions in things small and great. In Miscellaneous Writings (page 2, lines 2-3) Mrs. Eddy has written, Pride is ignorance, those assume most who have the least wisdom or experience" This false sense is sometimes bold and noisy, often times silent, but deep-rooted. It clings with tenacity to precedent and custom and is the main prop for false education and cold intellectu- ality.
 Pride is an Outgrowth of wrong sense of manhood. It assumes that man is somebody apart from God, that he can of himself be and do something The proud man believes he accomplishes by his own ability, that he hews or his niche in the world and is entitled to be little god in his self-created realm. The real purpose of existence he has yet to discover. Where his life comes from, his intelligence, his wisdom, his ability, lie has not yet discerned.

lost? Error tempts US O take a mental parachute drop into the plane of ignorant controversy, whereas our obligation to God is to think always from the mental heights of Gods allness and supremacy If there is something in Us that resents and gets mad, we may be sure that some thing is our belief tthat evil is real. We do not resent or get mad over things which we know do not exist.
 Peters resentment cut off the ear of the high priests servant, but Je- sus love restored it and advanced the salvation of all men. When we see the import of the following words of Mrs Eddy found on page PA of Miscellaneous Writings we shall have uncovered much of the deceitfulness of evil and opened the way for more rapid progress truthward. She says, Tt is our pride that make another's criticism rankle, our self-will that makes another's deed .offenive, our egotism that feels hurt at, another's self-assertion"
 SELF-CONDEMNATION WRONG
 As Christian Science destroys pride land resentment it destroys self-con- demnation, which is just as much mis- taken as the former. If we belittle and condemn ourselves and our ca pacities we are dishonoring the work of God, for the true self-hood of man is the workmanship of God. If one were to climb a pole while those on the ground were marching forward he could never join them until he climb ed down. ~Or if one were to dig a hole and drop into it he could see his fellows go by but he could not go along with them until he came out of the hole. So we cannot afford to exalt or debase ourselves. The sense of selfhood which God has given us

 We lose much if we think of Jesus as altogether different from our selves. The material body of Jesus was made of the same fleshly ele- ments as yours and mine. Paul says that he was tempted just as we are. but without sin. This must mean tkat evil argued to him just aS 1t does to us, but he was wise enough to believe it real. lie knew too much about God to accept it. His modes ot thought differed from our only il that he underst1 {. more fully than wt the Fatherhoo1 and Motherhood Of God and mans divine sOusnip. He sad.

It means that only we become al one with the very mental pa ocesses which he showed forth lo we find GCd and our well-being.
 Jesus was confronted as we are witb the persistent false claim that matter is cause and lawgiVer for man, that it makes and destroys him, imposes all manner of misfortune upon him and that there is nothing for him to do but submit to its de- cree. But here is the difference.

 MARY BAKER EDDY
 Christ Jesus spent the first thirty years of his human experience pre- pairing for the years of his teaching and ministry. Mary Baker Eddy spent the first forty and more years of her human life searching for that understanding of God which would heal the ills of men. Christian Sci ence was not discovered by chance or in a moment. On page 107 of Sci ence and Health, Mrs. Eddy says, Tn the year 1866, 1 discovered the

TARIFF BODY STILL
/. SPLIT OVER ETHICS
Second Conference With
President Fails to Find
Solution to Deadlock.

Seeking to end a deadlock in the
tariff commission which admittedly
is retarding the operations of that
agency. President Coolidge held
lengthy conferences yesterday with
Chairman Marvin and Vice Chairman
Culbertson. the leaders of the dead
locked groups. What results were
obtained was not disclosed by either
Attorney General Daugherty, who
also participated in the discussions
several questions have served to
bring about the deadlock, which has
existed about two months. The chief
point at issue, however, is whether g.
member may participate in final dis
position Of any case involving a COM
modify IN which he Is or has been
interested. Vice Chairman Culbert-
son. as head of the commissions pro-
cedure committee submitted a reso-
luton some weeks ago to prevent
such participation. The resolution is
understood to have been killed in the
commission by tie vote of the six
members. but remained as cause
of diSSension.
The President, having been advised
or the situation, called the whole body
INTO conference Thursday. The whole
controversy then was gone over but
! sun no way out of the tangle was
round Carrying his efforts a step fur
ther, MI Coolidge called the chairman
ana wee chairman into separate con-
ferences yesterday, lasting more than
two hours. Attorney General Daugh-
another matter, was asked by the Presi-
erty, who was at the White House on
dent to remain while first Vice Chair
| man Culbertson and then Chairman n
Marvin and finally Mr.. Culbertson again
were called in by the Executive.
Despite the complete silence on the
part OF all participants in the confer
ences, there were hints given In some
quarters last night that Mr.. Coolidge
might have to adopt the course fol-
lowed by President Harding and issue
an order outlining the commissions
policy for it
Aside from the matter Of proceed
ure, harmony within the commission
mas been prevented by the expiration
next tuesday of the term of Mr..
Marvin as chairman and by the fact
that both Mr.. Marvin and Mr. Cul-
pertson have been urged by their
respective supporters for the chair
manship for the coming year. The
President has given no indication
concerning whom he will designate
for the craftsmanship.
Adding further to the deadlock are
the two distinct views OF the tariff
question represented in the Commits
sion. on one side are Chairman Mar
vim and Commissioners Burgess and
Classic. and on the other are Vice
question represented in the commits
sioners Costigan and Lewis. Neither
side has shown disposition toward
conciliation with the result that, al
though the present tariff act with
its flexible provisions has been in
effect fifteen months, no recommen-
dations for rate changes have been
transmitted to the White House.
Some thirty cases await a final vote.

that, although the CENSUS bureau has
a definition of illiteracy. II is so elias

census takers that an accurate def
milton is impossible.
The conference, over which Mrs.

adopted six general resolutions de-
claring it's aims.
The resolutions proposed the fol-
lowing: That state superint endentS

pafgns for spreading intelligence and
creating interest in the illiteracy
movement
That an illiteracy commission
should be appointed by the governor

ent.
That the removal of illiteracy is
naturally and logically the business 5

That inasmuch as the federal CEN
