Certificate of Merit to the bicycle owners whose machines failed in some requirement at the testing lane.
 While the of1icals who partici- pated in the tests are aware of the fact that the 300 or more bikes in- spected do not represent the num- Der in this city, they feel reward ed that this first effort to convince boys and girls who own bicycles, that they should have them looked over and receive some valuable in- formation about their operation and about what safety devices should be on them, brought out as many as 1t did.
 From the first day-Tuesday, Sept. 14-at Hamilton Park to the last-Tuesday, Sept 21-at Water vile Park there was complete co. operation from all the boys and girls who appeared for tests.
 These tests were quite simple and involved merely riding the bicycle along a given path, bringing 1t to a dead stop at given point. There 1t was checked as to light, bell, horn or klaxon, rear reflector, brake, and condition of wheels and tires.
 Official Form
 Official forms were filled out giv- ing such information as would be necessary to maintain a proper Safety League file. Like wise the form was punched to indicate that the owners bicycle had qualified in certain particulars.
 Rejections weren't that in the sense that the owner was required to make changes or acquire new parts. Nor were they compelled to return and pass the tests at dif- ferent park. The inspectors simply explained to the owner what was lacking and how its presence might add to the riders safety.
 One ambitious lad, however, in- sisted on returning to Waterville Park on the last day, because when the inspection was held at Fulton Park he didn't have a bell on his wheel.
 Only in one instance did bicycle show faulty brakes that refused to work either with the wheel itself moving or when mounted on a stand. It didn't take its owner long, though, to take the bicycle home and make the necessary re- pairs so that he could be certified.
 Absence of light and bell was the most conspicuous fault. There were very few cases where light, bell and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-25

rear reflector were all missing. Only one mishap occurred on the testing lane and that the opening day when the arm on coaster brake snapped as the boy braked to a stop before the inspectors. Here again tempo rary repairs and promise to have the arm fixed good and proper won certification for the youngster.
 Examining the bicycles and regis tering them was in itself an educa- tion. There were bicycles of every color and shape, stream lined, re- paint jobs, and some glistening with the freshness of the shop still on them. A boy and @ girl, brother and sister, reported in with bicycles that were only three days old.
 Old-Time Names
 There were few of the old-time names occurring, even Captain Dug gan commenting on their absence. About the only name that brought back recollections of the bikes of twenty and more years ago was one lone Iver Johnsons. Gone were the Crusaders, the Rangers, the Pope Hartfords, and the countless others that made the early part of this century a gladstone one for many a boy and girl. And, of course, the names that delighted the old-timers of the last century, when cycling was really in its prime, were not even thought of let alone carried on the front of the modern bikes.
 Creation of a Bicycle Safety League by the Waterbury Demo- crat and the Waterbury Police De- partment is just the first step in making the streets safer for those who operate their bikes along them It is planned to continue these tests which mean qualification for the club along bigger and better lines.
 Next April when the present cer- tificates expire the Democrat and the Police Department will launch their second series of tests under different and perhaps stricter lines There will be more attention to the individual bicycle; the tests them selves will involve a little more time and attention to each wheel.
 Membership Cards
 Finally, and perhaps best of all, every owner, whose bicycle is ok. ID every essential point, which will be announced early enough to allow all to comply with them, will receive in addition to his or her member ship card an official license plate.
 These plates, metal ones, will be numbered and will be made so as ;o allow permanent attachment to the front of the bicycle right under the handlebars. The Hartford Times IS now preparing to issue these license plates in Its second safety campaign and considerable rivalry is being shown for the low numbers.
 When 1t comes time to announce Its second campaign the Democrat will have a special means by which the low numbers here may be oo- tained by boys and girls.

Christian Science
 Now Better Known
Many Previous Misconceptions Reported Corrected
 Through Study-Specific Instances of Cure

AS Christian Science Is becoming better known to many throughout the world, some of the common mis- conceptions concerning its teachings are being corrected. For example, one who has seen others healed and regenerated by its application may say, Well, Christian Science may be all right for him, but it would not help me, for ISl1ave no faith in it." This assumes that one must have faith in Christian Science if one would expect help therefrom.
 Let us suppose that one had in- herited a large farm and wished to know how many acres 1t contained. Perhaps because of the size of the property, its irregular outline, the presence of woods and streams, and rough unexplored portions the own CT might believe that measuring the acreage of such a piece of land would be difficult or impossible. A civil engineer, however, equipped with the necessary understanding, easily solves this problem, and the desired information is quickly ob- tained. The owners lack of knowl- edge interferes not at all with the surveyors understanding of this task.
 Faith
 The queston, Must I have faith in Christian Science in order to be healed by it?" was asked of its Dis coverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Her answer may be found on page B of Miscellaneous Writ ings." She says, in part: Tt has not proved impossible to heal those who, when they began treatment, had no faith whatever in the Science,- other than to place themselves un- der my care, and follow the direc- tions given." This should not seem an unreasonable request, for If one is to benefit from treatment in Christian Science, there should be an honest desire and ready willing ness to comply with its require mentS.
 One student of Christian Science gratefully looks back upon his earl fest experience in healing through Christian Science, and the lessons gained at that tne have never been forgotten. After many weary years had been spent in a vain search for peace and health, the healing min- istry of Christian Science was offered to him. Like thousands of others, he decided, as a last resort, to try this metaphysical system of healing. The Christian Science text book, The testimony was so convinc- ing that the seeker turned imme- diately to the textbook with faith that what had been done for one certainly would be done for another.
 After hurriedly reading the first twenty pages, the student was sur- prised and disappointed to find that there was no perceptibly change in the discordant physical conditions. Yet there had been wrought a great change in his thinking, and this change was the beginning of his healing and regeneration, mentally and physically. These pages includ- ed the chapter on Prayer, and even this first hurried reading revealed to him something of the true ra- ture of God, how to approach Him through prayer, and how to prove IS law available. From that time on there Was never any desire for or thought of turning back to mate rial remedies.

Inspections Proue Youths
 or Waterbury Bicycle-Minded

Waterbury is bicycle-minded. Waterbury cyclists are also safety minded. That was conclusively proved to the satisfaction of the Waterbury Democrat and the Wa terbury Poli e Department during the past two weeks when tests con- ducted in various public parks of the city revealed that clear major ity of those who were willing to have their machines inspected were eouipping them with such devices that would protect their own safety and also enable the motorist to pro- tect 1t, too.
 300 Inspections
 Over three hundred bicycles were inspected by Captain William Dug gan and James Little of the Police Department and Neil Maloney and Uncle Harry, representing the Wa terbury Democrat Bicycle Safety League. More than two hundred of the owners of these bicycles were immediately enrolled in the Bicycle Safety League upon completion or their tests.
 As a special favor to all who VOL unteered to bring their bikes to the various city parks, where tests were to be conducted, the Waterbury Democrat next week Is awarding a

Jesus was quick and decisive, and was done sometimes in the face of ridicule, doubt, and antagonism. His work will ever remain as @ perfect example to all who would heal by his Christianity metaphysical meth- cd. At one time @ father brought his son to the Master to be healed. The disciples had failed in their at- tempt to heal the boy, and in des- peration the father sought Jesus Perhaps the father had seen some of the healing work done by the Master and his disciples and thus had been encouraged to ask helr for his son. To the Masters words (Mark o:23), "All things are posst- ble to him that believeth." the fath- CT replied, with tears Mark 9:24) Lord, I believe; help thou mine un- belief" The father was ready and eager to believe insofar as he was able that all things could be done by the Master. In spite of the fathers "unbelief" Jesus instantly healed the boy, again proving that neither disbelief, doubt, nor any other phase of ignorance has power to interfere with the operator oi Gods law.
 Human Thinking
 Mrs. Eddy has shown that human, thinking must be changed, and con- formed to the divine or real. She wrtes (Science and Health, p. 29O Until belief becomes faith, and faith becomes spiritual understand ing, human thought has little rela- ton to the actual or divine" The change from belief to faith. ano from faith to spiritual understand ing, takes place naturally in the hu- man consciousness, which is being instructed in divine Science, re. vealed to this age through the writings of Mrs. Eddy.
 The evidence of Christian Science healing has been observed by many who may not as yet have had oc- casion to turn to 1t for healing for themselves. But any seeker for her- mony will find in the pages Of the Christian Science textbook state- ments of truth about God and man statements of Gods law which he can understand and begin at once to apply. The Bible will become Q new book to him, its promises ano wisdom something to enjoy and profit by right here and now, instead of in some uncertain future time and place.
 The seeker will gain the assurance that he has found the pearl of great price, the actual spiritual law, the law which Jesus understood and demonstrated, the law with which each one can begin to work out his present salvation from sickness. sin ,~d death.-The Christian Science Monitor.
