JARVIS SPEAKS
ON CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE

lecture on christian Science
The Realization of Humanity 5
Hope" was delivered last evening IN
tho Masonic auditorium, by Charles
e. Jarvis. C. s., of Los Angeles,
Calf, to a large audience. He IS
member of the board of lecturesnip
OF the Mother Church, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist. in Bos-
ton, Mass. He was introduced oy
Sterling March, first reader or Sec
ond Church, of this city. under whose
auspices the lecture was given. Inc
lecturer said, in part:
1T is doubtful il any chapter IN
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker EDDY,
has attracted more attention or mas
been responsible for satisfying more
people Of the practically OF Chris
tian Science than the chapter on
prayer with which the book opens.
IAN Things Possible to God"
I'm the first sentence of this chap
ter we read: The prayer that re-
forms the sinner and heals the sick is
an absolute faith that all things are
possible TO Coda spiritual under
standing of Him, an unsettled love
%. u. Just few lines farther on the
author says: Desire is prayer, and
no loss can occur from trusting God
with our desires, that they may be
nodded and exalted before they take
form in, words and in deeds Up. II.
Gould anything be more simple or
yet more sublime? Could anything
capable OF expression in words bring
us closer to God, the great heart OF
Love? 1t is to such prayer that we
can resort when we enter into Uur
closet and shut the door with the as
surance that as we pray to our
Father in secret, He will reward us
openly.
The AIIness OF God
mo audible words, no human in
termediary, no particular posture is
necessary for such prayer to be
heard. We only need the deep and
abiding sense that we are in the
presence "of Him whom to know
Alright is Life eternal Science and
Health, Pref, p. viD. 1t matters not
how difficult a condition may seem
to be, 1t cannot interfere with our
right to appeal to our loving Father
Mother God, nor can error prevent
us from hearing the still small
voice. OF Truth in answer to our
desire.
1t is this silent prayer of under.
standing Of the allness of God, of
mans oneness with Him and the
consequent nothingness of evil which
banishes and destroys the manifesto
tons of the suppositious opposite,
whether 1t argues to us as sin, sick
ness, or death.

BELGIAN KINGS VISIT
 STIRS ALLIANCE TALK

ported that the Danish monarch's visit was connected with a pro- posal to bring about a defensive alliance between the small coun- tries bordering on the German empire Denmark. Holland. Bel gium and Switzerland
 But the world war broke out scarcely three months later. and the alliance of small powers" if it was ever planneu--has not been heard of since.
 Many Belgians think that tho political reasons which justified an agreement of that kind in 1914 have not disappeared with the world war. and the talk of alliance is being revived Belgian news papers point out that the country still feels itself uncomfortaby close to Germany where the na- tionalists have the upper hand. and declare Belgium cannot rely on the moral power" of tho League of Nations to protect her against a new invasion from the east,

PUBLISHERS
 ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the rule in force in all daily newspaper offices throughout the coun- try and the custom with most. of the newspapers of Alaska. The Empire will re- quire, beginning May 1, that all subscriptions must be paid in advance. The need for this rule is obvious. So many people. particularly in Alaska, change their address es. so often, that the loss from the credit system is too large to be consistent with good business. The only way to meet tho situation is to make the payment in ad- vance rule apply to every body. So there will be no exceptions.
 The management has had this matter under considera- ton for a long time, and decision is the result of ma ture deliberation. Publishers everywhere have found that the only satisfactory manner of handling newspaper cir culation is to require pay ment in advance.
 So, beginning May 1, sub scriptions to The Empire must be paid in advance.

Cut ten, who forsook financially sue cessful trading in grain to dabble in stocks; the Fisher Brothers of Detroit and William c. Durant, who made his original fortune in the automotive field.
 Meehan. who gave up selling theatre tickets to become Curb Market broker with first month E profits of SIS and now heads a firm holding six stock exchange memberships valued at $3z5D0t each, is repufed to have made S5.- 100000 to $15,DO0.000 in Rauio. It is estimated that s12,00O to s15,- GOO a day was earned in commls- sions by Meehan and his partners as specialists in Radio stock dur- ing the week of its rise from $111 10 $160 d share.
 But Meehan and the other bulls" who tuned in on Radios million dollar program are. not the first 10 make--or lose--money in a corner. which may be de scribed as corneging. or acquiring. ontrol of the floating supply Of a corporations stock.

STOLP REGAINS PLACE
 ON AIR MAP AS SITE
 OF MOBILES TAKE-OFF

STOLP, Germany. Apr,i 2 Gen eral Umberto Mobiles decision 10 use Stolp for his takc-off 10 the North Pole is warmly wele omed by the 43,000 inhabitants of this Pomeranian city. They have felt neglected of late. During the war, when Stolp was one of three air dromes for lighter-than-ai craft, two huge hangars and one plant for the manufacture of hydrogen gas were in constant operation. i The larger hangar had fo be torn down by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. the gas plant fell into disuse and was abandon ed. and only the smaller hangar remained to tell of the aerial glory that was once Stolp's. The hangar is almost coo feet long, 100 feet wide, and 92 feet high
 The alrurolnv .9 located at Sed- din, six miles from Stolp. There is also flying harbor for air planes immediately outside of Stolp, but it is used only for emergency landings during flights from Berlin to Moscow. For No piles purposes, the presence of the airplane harbor so close at hand will prove useful, in that representative of the German government and of the Italian embassy at Berlin can come to Stolp on short notice by airplane when conditions are ripe for the start northward. The air route to Stolp is lighted throughout the night.
 The owners of the flying field selected by Mobile are the Luft- fahrzeug-Gesellschaft of Berlin, successors to the Persival air ship construction company of pre- revolution days. The Parsiyal company supplied airships to Ger many, Japan, England. Russia, and several other countries before 1914. and during the war turned out a considerable number of di- rigibles.
 Its successors have kept the or ganization intact and for the pres ent live on hopes of orders for airships.
 T"General Mobile selected Stolp as it is the only flying harbor out side of Friedrichshafen which has hangar large enough for his vessel" Director von Kleist of the Luftfahrzeug Gesellscnaft told The Associated Press.
 .'Friedrichshafen is so far south that Mobile might just as well start from Venice or Milan direct. Stolp is the northernmost air drome with large hangar in the world.
 "We are glad to assist the gen eral, for every new demonstration of the serviceability of airships helps the whole cause of aerial navigation. For the same reason we were happy to learn of the successful flight of the Los An. geles' to Panama.

MANY REGISTER
FOR VOTE WHEN
ELECTION IS HELD

The various registration officers
over the city who have been appoint
ed to register the voters for the city
election reported land office busi-
ness yesterday and while no check
was made to determine the numbers
registered it is estimated that as
many as 500 registered OH Friday
With the nominations closing on
March 28 and no opposition having
developed except in the aldermanic
field in three wards little special in
centive to vote is offered the public
but the campaign carried on here the
past few years to impress the voter
with his duty and privilege as a
citizen in casting ballot In every
election is bearing fruit, observers
believe, in an increased registration.
The fact that nominations have
closed does not mean that additional
candidates may not enter the race
for one may become a candidate at
the primaries il sufficient voters
write his name in on the ticket
for one party or another 1t is not
anticipated that any additional can
didates will enter.
