CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
LECTURE Delivered
james G. Rowell, c. S., of Kan
sas City, Speaks at First
Church Here.

| A lecture on christian Science:
The Word of God Found Practical"
was delivered last evening in First
Church of Christ, Scientist, by James
! G. Rowell, c.. S., of Kansas City. Mo-
Mr.. Rowell is a member of the board
of lectureship of the mother church,
the First Church of Christ, Scientist
of Boston, Mass, and spoke to large
and interested audience. He was in
troduced by William G. Biederman,
first reader Of First Church, under
whose auspices the lecture was given.
The lecturer said in part:
"Christian Science teaches that one
needs neither medical books nor ma
terial medicine if one fully accepts
the Bible as his sufficient guide to
eternal life. r
MANY people are unwilling to read
about God. to talk about God, and
| especially to think about God. To
! them this Is a subject fraught with q
good deal of mystery and not a little
dread, one which they would postpone
why? Surely it Is because they have
q false concept Of God, and lack true
knowledge of what He really Is. If
you thought that God was unable or
unwilling to help you in your hour of
need, that He was afar off, ;partial
God, the incentive to know Him bet.
ter would be lost. If but one of the
truths which the Bible teaches about
| the nature of God were more generally
known, and even partially understood,
this unwillingness would give place to
such eagerness to know Him better
| that Gods kingdom on earth. would
soon he established.
1.-THE Christian Scientist believes
with John that God is love- He
| understands divine love, or God, to be
| that wise, just, compassionate intelli.
gence that knows no limitation. Chris.
ton Science with its reasonable teach.
| ing about God and its practical proofs
of health and usefulness restored
| through understanding Gods true be-
ing is showing many the folly of
avoiding this subject. If they but
knew 1t, the study of the nature Of
God holds for them unlimited posi-.
bilities Of health, happiness and sue.
cess.
1.-The Scriptures say that God is on-
mpresent. which means present every
| where, and, more fully understood, the
| only presence there is. Christian
Science teaches that God is omnipres.
ent Mind: Mind to be God must be
infinite and also all.powerful--not a
finite mind to whom man has to make
known his needs, but the infinite
divine mind that knows mans needs
before he discerns them himself.
Divine mind lovingly invites him into
the way divine, where the supply of.
every need has been anticipated and
awaits only mans perception and ac-
ceptance. -
'The infinite mind, which is inpar-
tial and unselfish love, does not hestow
His rich blessings on one man and
withhold them from another. Minds
ideas' IKE the sunshine and the rain,
bless the just and the unjust. God
gives to man His pure and perfect
spiritual ideas and they supply his
daily needs. If health and harmony
are not being enjoyed. in your daily
experience you need to examine your
thoughts, for all erroneous thoughts
must eventually be replaced by God.

MAN WHO DEFRAUDED
JOB SEEKERS IN PRISON
Convicted Of Posing as Civil Serv.
ice Examiner and Getting Fee
From Applicants.

Another attempt to prey upon the
gullible by impersonating a Federal
officer and offering jobs in the EN-.
ploy of Uncle Sam on payment of a
small fee has met with disaster and
the perpetrator is now serving a Jail
sentence.
John G. Smith, alias John Samson,
alias John Smythe, has been sen.
fenced to serve two years in the Fed
eral penitentiary at Leavenworth by
a Chicago court on a charge of i'm.
personating a Federal officer. Com
plant was made last Spring that
Smith was representing himself as an
examiner of the Civil Service Com
mission. He was said to have adver-
tised that the Government was in
need of clerks and that he was in a
position to secure jobs for applicants
on payment of fee Of IS or $40.
Smith was arrested in June through
cooperation Of a youn.s woman whom
he had approached to go into the Gov
ernment employ. He was held under
$2.500 bond, and, being unable to fur.
nish bond, was held in Jail until the

TARIFF REPORT
TO Be PREPARED
U. S. Commission to Outline
Relations With France in
Statement to President.

b. the Associated Press.
A special report on French tariff
relationships with this country is in
preparation by the Tariff Commission.
to be submitted to President Coolidge
while the Washington Government is
awaiting the French reply to the last
American note in the controversy over
the French discriminatory duties
against American products.
While Government officials were
reticent about the contents Of the re-
port, it was intimated that it con
tained survey of the possibilities of
applying the penalty provisions of the
tariff act to French imports In case
France again rejects the American
plan of a new most-favored nation
commercial treaty.
The only official disclosure OF the
reports purport was that it was to a
large degree historical in character
and reviewed cases of French tariff
discrimination for the past 40 years.
But a report was current that in it's
survey the commission has included
the mention of specific French i'm.
ports. mainly of the luxury order
against which the United States could
levy an additional penalty duty Of SO
per cent or in some cases raise an
embargo without drastically disrupt.
ing business conditions. The com.
mission also was reported to have
considered the ways and means of
probable French retaliatory tariff
action If the United States should EN-.
ploy the penalty provision of her tariff
act.
Some administration officials. 1t has
been known, regard as legitimate ar
ticles against which the penalty pro-
visions could be used the French silk
imports and French perfumes, to.
gether with some French textiles.
But there was no disclosure as to
what the Tariff Commission may re.
port to the President on this phase.
