What is Life? God is Life, and
God is the Supreme Being. We all
intuitively feel that we owe our exis-
tence, and that everything that actu-
ally exists owes it's existence, to the
fact that something possesses the
quality or attribute of self existence.
All down through the ages people
have recognized, at least to some de-
gree. this fact. Even savages have
perceived it; and consequently, in
instance after instance, they have
offered up praise ard thanksgiving for
their blessings to some power or
powers in which they believed. Chris
tan thinkers know that God, and God
lone, possesses the quality or attri-
| lite OF solf-e.:i5tcacc. God alone exists
st the standpoint OF causation. He is
the one infinite cause and creator, who
produces. aid forever maintains and
governs everything Fiat has actual
existence. Abraham described God as
the everything God; and Moses was
tivinely led to know God as the great
LAM.
Now it is clear that the infinite God
must be present everywhere; and
C.viae logic and revelation assure us
that the presence of God everywhere
renders impossible the actual exis-
t2nce or presence anywhere of any
tning that is opposed to the nature,
essence and character of God. Ma
turally and logically then, Christian
Science teaches that the presence
everywhere of the one infinite God,
the Supreme Being, the great I AM,
who is eternal, indestructible Life,
makes it impossible for death, the sup
posed opposite of Life, to have real or
actual existence anywhere.
Here again Christian Science agrees
with the Bible, and is in exact accord
with the pure theology which Jesus
taught and exemplifed. Jesus never
attributed power or reality to evil.
He taught that evil is unreal and
powerless, and he demonstrated the
truth of what he taught. He desig-
mated death as one phase or aspect of
evil He taught that death is opposed
to the nature, character, will, and law
of God. In instances, recorded in the
Bible, where Jesus came in contact
with death, how did he deal with 1t?
The Scriptural record clearly indi-
Gates that he destroyed it. And by
uSSLIOyluS uCdgllg OCo09 EOHSAoSAfS4y
proved that death is unreal and un=
Godlike, for that which God produces,
sustains, and sanctions can never be
destroyed. -
AT Main, Jesus encountered a funer-
al procession in which was being borne
a young man who was the only son OF
his widowed mother. Did Jesus stand
awed and helpless, with bowed head,
while that funeral procession filed by?
Most assurediy he did not. This re.
markabie man, who knew Gods will
and who obeyed Gods law at every
turn in the way, acted with character.
istic tenderness and with characters
istic vigor, With deep compassion he
said TO the woman, weep not" He
touched the bier, and those who car
ried the young man stood still Then
he said, TYoung man, say unto thee,
Arise" Whereupon the young man
sat up and began himself to speak;
. and Jesus delivered him alive and well
to his mother,
Thus we see how Jesus, who under
stood and obeyed the will Of God, nain-
. istered to the people, and healed their
sorrow, not by approving death, but
by destroying it.

MILK-IMPROVED PRODUCTION
AND INCREASED CON-
SUMPTION

Milk dealers throughout Maryland
are cooperating closely with the
State Department of Health in eff
forts that are being made to arouse
public interest in improved methods
of milk production, better sanitation
of milk plants, and increased con-
sumption of milk in the State.
Mr.. F. w. Caspari, of the State
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, who
has been in active charge of milk
supervision in the Anne Arundel
County Health Unit, has been assign
ed to the Bureau of Food and Drugs
of the State Department of Health,
as sanitary engineer, specializing in
milk work. Under the direction Of
Mr.. A. L. Sullivan, Chief of that
Bureau, Mr.. Caspari is giving par

the LEGAL sanitary inspectors in The
inspection Of dairy farms and milk
plants. The requirements Of the U.
S. Public Health Service Standard
Milk Ordinance, and the code for
grading milk were explained and dis
cussed, In detail at conferences, Of
health officers, milk producers, and
sanitary inspectors, held recently in
different parts of the State. Adyis-
DRY surveys and inspections Of dairy
farms and milk plants are. being car
ried on, under the direction of the
county health officer in a number Of
counties.
Local interest in improved meth

van said, 'ias a result of the pre-
liminary inspections and the confer

groups have joined the milk pro-
ducers in some of the larger towns

adoption of milk regulations, en-

of which are entirely reasonable.
Emphasis is laid in the Ordinance,

the improvement, and maintenance
OF sanitary conditions on dairy farms

Human life is palpably cheap in
the United States when more than
dozen school children die a cruel
death in a railroad crossing accident
that could have been avoided for a
safety installation, costing only few
thousand dollars.
This accident at a crossing In
Maryland, said to have excellent visi-
bility, drives home forcibly the stag
gering total of such deaths annually,
the facts and figures emphasized by
the Safety Research Bureau in De-
troit. Its compilations show that a
substantial percentage of fatal cross
ing crashes occur at rail-highway in
tersections where there is a clear
view of approaching trains. But
still the carnage goes on. Why
don't townships and counties act!
Why don't states act? With ap-
proximately $500, 100000 of federal
work relief money ready for just
such use, state and municipal gov
ernmen.s now can obtain funds to
protect such crossings.
Not hit-and-miss protection, but
wholesale crossing protection MUST
come. The mute voices of these
Maryland children speak only toe
plainly.

Angeles California, Member of the Board
of Leetureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scientist In
Boston, Massachusetts.
Christian Science brings a message
of encouragement to all mankind. In
deed nothing could be more encour-
aging than the message which Chris
tian Science brings; fer it makes
known to the people of today that
eternal, indestructible life to which
Christ Jesus referred when he said:
II am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more
abundantly." We all are interested in
life and in living. We long for life
that is rich and full and free. We
cannot be satisfied with mere exis-
tence. Indeed we cannot be satisfied
with anything less than the life which
is infinite, spiritual, eternal, indie
structible, harmonious, happy, IN
fettered, perfect. Can we enter into
the enjoyment of such life? Most
assuredly we can, and Christian
Science points out the way.
On page 468 of the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures, we find what stu
dents of Christian Science commonly
refer to as the scientific statement of
being. This statement, as well as
every other statement in this remark
able book, was written by the Dis
coverer and Founder of Christian
Science, Mary Baker Eddy. In this
scientific statement of being, Mrs.
Eddy mentions four realities, which
everyone desires and which everyone
needs, They are life, truth, intelli=
gence and substance. Mrs. Eddy first
points out that we can never Icy hold
upon these glorious realities so long
as we seek them in matter: Then she
assures us that we can find them in
divine infinite Mind. Her statement
reads as follows: aThere is no life,
truth, intelligence, nor Substance in
matter, All is infinite Mind and its
infinite manifestation, for God is ALI
in=all, Spirit is immortal Truth; mat
ter is mortal error. Spirit is the real
and externally matter is the unreal and
temporal. Spirit is God, and man is
His image and likenc--. Therefore
man is not material; he is spiritual"
Thus we see. at the very outset Of
our discussion, that Christian Science
teaches people to rely, not upon mat
ter, but upon divine infinite, Spirit or
Mind. In taking this position, Chris
tian Science agrees with the inspired
teaching of the Bible. The Bible
never eounsels trust in matter or ma
terialisn, 1t urges it's readers. to- cen.
ter their trust in God, and to keep 1t
there at all times and under all cir
cumstanees, The central figure of the
Bible is Christ Jesus, the great
Exemplar and Wayshower Of man
kind, Jesus defined God as Spirit, and
he assured US that we can worship
God truly only as we worship Him
spiritually. He said; at is the spirit
that quickeneth; the flesh proiteth
nothing: the words that / speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they are
life"

Nature is repeating herself. Last
year she brought the greatest
drought in history to the great
American midwest, turned millions
OF acres of rich wheat land to desert
and had the laugh on the puny ef-
forts of mere man to control pro-
duction.
AS If that lesson weren't severe
enough, Nature is again menacine
crops--dus. clouds recently swept
day after day across the vast mid
west wheat country. The area af-
fected includes over 50,0O0,00O acres
of wheat land. The result, unless
late rains do the unexpected and
remedy the situation, will be an in
consequential crop.
The Secretary Of Agriculture has
removed certain restriction on the
planting of spring wheat. This is
expected to cause rise Of from III
to 80 million bushels in the normal
spring crop.

FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR INSUR.
ED MORTGAGES

Financial institutions such as
banks, building and loan associations
and insurance companies throughout
Maryland that are approved mort
gagees under the qualifications of the
Federal Housing Administration,
have a total of approximately $6,-
600, 900 in ready cash to be loaned
on government insured mortgages
which are issued under the provisions
of Title II of the National Housing
Act, Henry w. Webb, Director for
Maryland, announced today. This
figure was computed from statements
received from these financial institu-
lions advising of the amount of ready
money available.
Individuals in the counties of
Maryland who desire to secure a gov
eminent insured mortgage may ap-
ply directly by mail to the Federal
Housing Administration headquar-
tiers in the Fidelity Building, Balti-
more. The approved financial insti-
buttons are located in various COM
munities throughout the state.
Applications for insured mortgages
totaling $356,5O0 have been received
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton in the Fidelity Building in Bal
timore. OF this amount, commit
ments for insurance have been made
on s17s,900 worth of mortgages.
These insured mortgages" Mr..
Webb said, ARE made to fefpance
existing mortgages, purchase existing
properly or for new construction OF
homes. They are made up to S9%
of the appraised value of the prop
erty and are repayable in equal
monthly installments up to 20 years.
The funds which are loaned are
private funds and are NOT supplied
by the government. The govern
ment merely insures the loans against
loss as to principle"

died ct last, so far as the work relief
bill is concerned. After more than
two months of acrimonious debate 1t

The President will have the say in
spending che money. with the excep-
ton Of highway funds which are to

also have the authority to fix wage
scales. According to the relief ad-

ADJUSTMENT ACT MUST PAY

Farm Bureau President Sees In Pro.
posed Subsidy Means OF
WreckinQ AAA

WrecIing AAA
The recent proposals in the U. s.
Senate to abolish the processing tax
on basic farm commodities, and to
use part of the 5-billion dollar work
relief appropriation for administra-'
tive expenses incident to the opera
ton of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, are bringing sharp criticism
from farm leaders. Edward A.
O'Neal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, who has
been leading the fight for the Acts
retention as permanent farm legisla-
ton, branded the subsidy proposal
a thinly disguised attempt to annihi-
late the whole adjustment program.

processing taxes. the George Amend
ment." Mr.. O'Neal declared in an in
terview last week, sis a step toward
wrecking the AAA in its entirety If
the textile interests" Mr.. O'Neal
added, "who are among the chief
supporters of the George Amend
ment, succeed, similar demands Will
be made by enemies of the Adjust
ment Program for removing the pro-
cessing tax on other basic commod-
itiesr"
'It was the intention of The
trainers of the Act" Mr.. O'Neal said,
that the adjustment program should
pay its own way through the levying
of a processing tax against each basic
commodity. The processing tax Is
therefore an essential part of the
policy of Congress as set forth In the
Act, which declares for its purpose
the re-establishment of a fair ratio
between farm prices and the prices
Of other commodities and services.

turers and professors have Joined In

A SMALL boy recently broke
~ into print for a bright say
ing" about his nursery
school. The parents, it seems, al
though keenly interested in the
curriculum of his new school, were
never able to extract much news
from Johnnie. However, one day
near the close of the term, he
volunteered some information.
1--WE have a surprise at school
every single day." he confided,
"and it's always crackers"
This reminds us that the first
requisite in planning party foods
for children is that they contain
an element of surprise-something
awfully good to eat, dressed up to
look surprisingly pretty.
Ice Cream-of Course
The second requisite, perhaps,
is that the menu include ice cream
or some sort of frozen fruit des-
sert. Ice cream and ices, inciden-
tally, lend themselves very nicely
to surprise appearances. For pa
triotic party, for example, a scoop
Of vanilla ice cream can easily be
converted into a tent, if flag is
stuck in the top, and a tiny toy
soldier, for a favor, stands guard
on the dish. r
Brick ice cream can be con-
verted into Circus Parade Ice
