in chance and i'll luck with the proper sense of Gods unerring direction and sure protection. To him was verified the assuring promise voiced by Noses, 'it shall come to pass, If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God" (that is. if you ac- cept as true only the thoughts which speak of Gods goodness, harmony. Justice, and perfection) "the Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy store houses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto." (see Deut. 28:1-14.)
 A student of Christian Science who was an executive of a manu- featuring company inaugurated q campaign to reduce accidents among the employees of his com pany; but insead of using placards which depict or suggest accidents, he posted many cards throughout the factory, on which was printed in large letters the single word THINK. Not only was the number of accidents In that factory greatly reduced because of that terse ad- wise. but the efficiency of the em- ployees was greatly increased.
 MT Booth then discussed briefly how Christian Science brings re- lease to men from the bondage to hereditary conditions by teaching the true sense of proyer; and he illustrated his points with convinc- ing accounts of headings of sickness and sin wrought by means of Chris tan Science prayer.
 In conclusion he said, Some- times uninformed people are mis- led into regarding Christian Sci ence as merely . therapeutic agent put forth to compete with doctors of medicine. but that is far from true. The primal purpose of Chris tian Science is the overcoming and obliteration of sin. This is ac- complished by showing that there is no real pleasure, profit, and sat isfaction in wrong thinking. and wrong living. Some of the most i'm pressive testimonies of healing heard in Christian Science churches are voiced by those who have proved that no wis the day of sal vation from degrading desires, false appetites and from distressing temperamental habits.
 Although Christian Science deals In q scientific and Christian manner with the individual in thus freeing him from debasing and enslavng habits and desires by teaching him that mans true desire Is for good only, still Christian Scientists being law respecting and law, abiding, uphold every movement which tends to the lessening and oblitera- ton of evil. Thus the great inter- national daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, Is rec ognized as one of the ablest and most effective newspaper agencies supporting the enforcement of and obedience to the law prohibiting liquor traffic. This is directly in line with Mrs Eddy's definite ex- precision found in her book, Mis- cellaneous Writings, D. 289:2. Strong drink is unquestionably an evil, and evil cannot be used tenn perately: it's slightest use Is abuse; hence the only temperance Is total abstinence"
 You cannot license evil and ex- pect to control it. It must be stamped out.
 A visitor at the Louvre said. as he was leaving, "I see nothing remarkable about the pictures" An officer at the door replied, isis. the pictures are not on trial. but the visitors are." So Christian Sci- ence is no longer on trial, for 1t has been tested and has been prov en to be the reinstatement of prim- tive Christianity; its promise of present release from bondage and of present reward for right en- deavor has been abundantly veri- fled. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
