Simple Philosophy

Meanwhile thst grand old bandit.
Chang Tso-Lin, is marching down
from the north with what is
supposed to be the best equipped
army ever modified in China.
He has no illusions about religion
or politics, but goes on the simple
plan that he should take who has
the power and he should keep who
can" This is a philosophy that even
coolies can understand.
The crisis will come when Tso-Lin
meets the Cantonese, which will Ger.
tainly happen If some good diplomat
doesn't show a way to divide China
between them.

Averages

Warner H. Hays, secretary of the
Clock Manufacturers Association of
America, says that the average man
earns one cent and a half every
minute.
The trouble is that averages do
not mean much to the individual. In
order to find out what the average
earning capacity is, you must take
into account such men as Babe Ruth,
who earns fifty times as much as a
common laborer; Douglas Fairbanks,
who earns 500 times as much, and
Henry Ford, who earns 10000 times
as much.
1 was on jury once which
couldn't agree as to the number of
years a Texas prisoner should be
sentenced to serve.
We finally hit upon the happy idea
Of letting each juror put down the
number of years he thought just and
striking an average.
One juror put down 5000.

Editor The Times:
In correction of advertisements and
announcements of what is termed
Christian Science Lecture, genuine
Christian Scientists, loyal followers
of Mrs. Eddy, desire to make known
authoritatively the following facts:
The lecture advertised is not a
presentation of Christian Science as
taught by the Church founded by
Mrs. Eddy, or delivered by lee
turer authorized by that Church.
The question of whether of not
there is to be personal successor
to Mrs. Eddy was answered by Mrs.
Eddy to the satisfaction of genuine
Christian Scientists. To them she
has designated the proper imperson-

al leadership through her spiritual
teachings. The individual referred
to in the advertising as Mrs. Eddy's
successor deserted Mrs. Eddy and
her Church before she passed on
and has since endeavored to estab.
Iish one of her own. 1t is obvious
that she is not Mrs. Eddy's sue
cessor.
The allegations and arguments

Mother Church are merely 8 bnal
opinions. The Christian ence
Board of Directors of the Mother
Church has equal right of opinion
but i'm the administration of that
Manual, it has not relied exclusively
on the views of It's members. It's
position is supported by letters and
documents of Mrs. Eddy, the coun-
sci and aid of many individuals who
worked personally under Mrs. Eddy's
instructions, and by the best legal
opinions, and the highest courts
having jurisdiction. Moreover. the
Board Of Directors have never at.
tempted to assume Mrs. Eddy's
spiritual leadership.
The bylaws of the Mother
Church have not been abandoned OF
perverted by officers and members
of Mrs. Eddy's Church. They are
diligently and closely followed by
all loyal followers of Mrs. Eddy who
refuse to permit individuals dissatis.

Mrs. Eddy to interpret those bylaws

latter's widow, now says that Mrs.
Snyder hypnotized him.
This brings up an interesting
question.
It is popular belief that a person
susceptible TO hypnotism can be
made to do most anything.
Most scientists hold, however,
that hypnotism cannot make a per-

moral nature.

with the Queen played only one trick
may be made. If the Queen be
played and it. be covered by the
King, the Closed Hand probably will
take with the Ace, and have left the
guarded Ten. That Ten will take
a trick if the next lead of that suit
be made from the adverse hand on
the left; but if it be made from the
adverse hand on the right, the Ten
probably will be captured. BY play
ing small, two tricks must be made
regardless of the location of the
adverse King and Jack. If both be
in the hand of the leader, the Ten
will take the first trick and the Ace
subsequent trick. If both be in
the Third Hand, the Ace will take
the first trick and the Ten the third
trick. If the lead be from the King,
the Third Hand having the Jack, the
Ace will take the first trick and the
Ten the third trick; and ie the lead

Red Cross Drive

The Red Cross drive in Berlin which ended last Thursday. Thanks giving day, was a success and the money subscribed topped any previ- ous drive held in this town. Rev. Samuel A.

More subScribtions were received than any other year.
 The exact amount received by the drive Is not know yet as the East Berlin results have not been recciy- cd. The East Berlin Community as- soclat!on is working in conjunction with MT. Fiske ana, because of tie thanksgiving holidays, did not hold 'heir regular meeting last week. The local chairman is confident that the East Berlin returns will show a big return.
