TEXTBOOK
Only Volume, Besides Bible,
Which Has Healed Afflicted,
Asserts Judge S. W. Greene

A lecture on "Christia n
Science: Its Healing Message"
was delivered Monday evening in
First Church of Christ, Scientist,
by Judge Samuel w. Greene,
C.SB., of Chicago, Ill. Judge
Greene is a member of the Board
of Lectureship of The Mother
Church, The First Church Of
Christ. Scientist, in Boston,
Mass.
Introduced BY YOcum
He was introduced by Wilbur
E. Yocum. First Reader of First
Church, under whose auspices
the lecture was given. The lec-
turer said in part:
"ManifeStIy, for one to as
sumo the reality of sin, sick.
ness, or death, he must assume
that God, the infinite good, is
not in control of His universe,
but permits some devil or evil
to enter with diScOrd and i'm
perfection. Christian Science
declares that God is OmnipOt-
ent, Omniscient, Omnipresent;
that He is infinite Mind, Spirit,
Soul, Principle, Life, Truth,
Love. What glorious vision
of God is thiS-all that is
tender, all that is good, all that
is intelligent, all that is correct
is of God, and there is no con-
ditiOn nor creation which does
not proceed from God.
"AS Mrs. Eddy worked and
thought over this marvellous
concept of God, she saw how
poorly mankind had realized
mans heritage and high es-
tate as the creature of God.
as Gods son, as Gods image
and likeness. AS soon as she
turned to the Bible she saw
that the two accounts of man
creation, as told in the book
of Genesis, had cen con.
founded and misunderstood by
the average Bible reader.
Writes Two Volumes
TN her efforts to help others
to see and understand these
newly unfOIded truths con-
Cerning God and creation, Mrs.
Eddy saw the necessity of writ
ten statements. Accordingly
she began in a small way to
write concerning her discovery.
AS her understanding increased
her writings expanded, until
eventually she had produced
=, the volume known as Science
and Health With Key to
the Scriptures also called
The Christian Science Text.
book
Naturally, a book prOpOund-
ing such surprising theories
of God and His creation as
does Science and Health would
arouse criticism and OppOSi-
tiOn. During the more than
so years of its continued pros
perity the book has l e
one of very wide circulation,
which is constantly increasing.
1t is in o sense a substitute
for the Bible, and Christian
Scientists do not so regard it
or use it. 1t is designed to
throw the light of spiritual
Interpretation on the Bible.
Textbook on Science
''It is also, as it's name implies,
a textbook on Christian Sui
ence, enabling the careful reader
and student of its pages to
apply successfully the healing
power of divine law in solving
human ills. 1t has the unique
distinction of being the only
book, aside from the Bible,
ever written, the reading of
which has healed many per
sons of various types of disease

USE LEGION
A. E. PENROD

NEW YORK, March 18 U.S0.
The Smithsonian Institution and
the American Legion, it was
learned yesterday, are among the
famous organizations the names of
which were used by book sales
men in parting prospects from
their money.
Possible purchasers, it was es-
tablished, were led to believe that
the volumes were published and
sold directly by these institutions
and that the great percentage of
the money derived was to go to
the organizations.
The same methods were used in
these instances, it was revealed,
as in the sale of Abraham Lin
coins writings, supposedly for the
benefit of Lincoln Memorial Uni
verSity.
AS with Lincoln's writings, the
Smithsonian and American Legion
talks centered on names of impor-
tant persons, presumably in
dorSerS.

Tara was asked repeated ques-

"Were you convicted of
vagrancy in Lincoln, Neb., in
1920?
"On June 2S, 1920, were you
sent en- e d from Sweetwater

CATION for him.
Six specific charges are made
against Mayor Walker by the
city affairs committee in which
it is alleged he has been guilty
Of misfeasance, inefficiency and
incompetency. Ten different de-
partments of the New York city
government, in which it is alleged
there has been inefficiency and
violations Of lew, are set forth
by the committee.
In outlining the specific charges
against Mayor Walker the Guy
affairs committee wrote as fol
lows In the complaint filed with
the governor:
"He has failed properly to
administer the government OF
the city in the interest Of the
people. He has ignored con-
ditions of inefficiensy and cor
ruption, and If under public
pressure he has initiatel In
VestigatiOnS he has allowed
such investigations to lapse
without report or result.
He has appointed unworthy
men to public office, and kept
I'm office unworthy men sub
feet by law to his removal.
His conduct of the office Of
mayor since he took office on
January 1, 1880, has been in
competent, inefficient and fu-
tile, with the result that the
local machinery of government
has failed to function properly
and the administration Of the
city has been brought into dis
repute.
Charged With Laxity
without limiting the gen.
erality of the foregoing charges,
your petitioners specify there
under the following:
(a) The mayor has been
guilty Of misfeaSance Of office
in failing to perform the duty
imposed upon him by Section
lis Of the city charter which
provides: That it shall be the
duty Of the mayor to keep
himself informed of the con.
duct of the several departments
(Of the city g0vernment) and
to be vigiIant and active in
causing the ordinances Of the
city and the laws of the State
to be executed and enforced, in
order to enable him to perform
these duties.
~ "His failure to perform this
central duty Of his office has
resulted in q breakdown in
the administration Of the af-
fairs Of the city, a collapse Of
all right standards Of public
life and q release upon the
citizens Of the baleful forces of
evil and corruption.
Failed to Remove
"B) He has failed to use the
power given him by section IS
Of the city charter to remove
from office public officers, hold
ing office by his appointment,
who have been inefficient or
faithIeSs to their duties, or both.
"(C) In the face Of wide
spread and notorious ineffi-
cheney and corruption in city de-
partments, of which it is re-
Quired by section lis of the
city charter that the mayor
shall have knowledge, he has
failel to direct his appOintee,

as authorized by section 119 of

and methods Of the depart

Washington Man on Last
Years Trip With FrisseII Tells
How End Probably Came

The explosion which wrecked
the sealer Viking and sent men,
bers Of its crew to the bottom Of
the Atlantic off White Bay no
doubt originated in the powder
magazine in the after part Of the
vessel, according to Thomas E.
Sweeney, jr., of 1920 New Hamp-
shire Ave. N. w.
Mr. Sweeney, who accompanied
Varick Frissell, independent mo-
tion picture producer. on his trip
last year to the Arctic wastes to
film white Thunder" declared
the fact the explosion wrecking
the vessel occurred at night pre-
cludes the possibility of it's having
been caused by boiler explosion.
Anchor at Night
In all instances, he said, when
ships are threading the ice-filIed
water the fires are burned down
and the vessels anchor during the
night. The powder magazine on
the Viking was in the after part
Of the hold and farthest away
from the cabin, which was prOba-
bly, occupied by FriSSelI and his
two American companions.
Unless Frissell went down with
the ship, he's probably alive on
an ice floe caring for injured,
according to Mr.. Sweeney, who
has been with the intrepic ex-
plorer on many trips to hereto
fore practically unknown coun-
tries He said:
"FriSSelI is one Of my best
friends and I feel that unless
he was killed outright in the
explosion, he will come through.
If he was not injured, he will
be with those who were and if
he was hurt, his courage and
stamina will bring him through.
1 feel certain that he will be
heard from.
Occurred in Magazine
ut is my belief that the dis
astrOuS explosion occurred in
the powder magazine. This is
in the after part of the ship,
far removed from the cabin i'm
which FriSSell and his COM n
paniOnS were no doubt housed.
There is only one cabin on the
ship that will accommodate
more than one person, and it is
almost certain that the three
Americans were housed there.
"FrisSelI is the type Of man
who would not give up, no mat
ter what happened. If he was
not killed outright, he is caring
for injured who were on the ill.,
fated ship. I feel certain that
he will be heard from"
When the original company,
comprised of all men, went out
last year to film the picture, Fris-
sell and Mr.. Sweeney were at
the head of the expedition. Rob-
ert o. Bartlett, the skipper, who
was with Peary in 1909 on the
Ifek TO the North Pole, acted the
part of the master of the sealer
in the film.
Went for Background
No members of the original cast
were on the Viking when she
went to the bottom. Frissell,
Harry Sargent and A. E. Penrod.
cameraman, were on the trip to
make certain scenes for back
ground in the picture.
This was the first company to
take sound equipment on such an
expedition and the picture was
about ready for release.
F'riSSell has led an adventurous
life since taking up photography
and during the most recent Mexi-
can revolution was captured sew
eral times by troops when he
was filming scenes on the firing
line.
