Lecture Given
William ". Porter
Addresses Church

A lecture on christian Science:
Its InexhauStible CompenSations, ,"
was delivered yesterday after
noon in First Church of Christ,
Scientist, by William Wallace Por-
ter, C. S. B., of New York. Mr..
Porter is a member of the Board
of Lectureship of The Mother
Church, The First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, in Boston.
He was introduced by Mrs.
Corinne D. Dunmore, second
roadcr of First Church which
sponsored this lecture.
The lecture said in part:
There are times when one
finds himself confronted with
a sick business, sick body, or
a situation which presents all
Of the hopeleSSneSS which con-
fronted Moses of old as he stood
at the edge of the Red Sea with
the children of Israel. In the
Glossary of Science and Health
(p. 583) Mrs. Eddy has defined
children of Israel" in part,
as the representatives of Soul"
These representatives of Soul
are the spiritual or true ideas of
life, mind, or God, which bring
to the understanding a COM
pletely satisfying sense of
minds inexhaustible resource
and supply.
Let no one ever say that he
has no opportunity. The uni
verse is teeming with ideas of
infinite mind waiting to find ex-
preston through channels of
thought which have been pre-
pared to receive and to trans
late these ideas into terms of
human experience"

AGRICULTURE rs
LOOKING UP

Forgetting for the moment Imperial
Valleys peeve at the Federal Land Bank
Or the land banks peeve at Imperial
Valley-one cannot help a feeling of
elation over the land bank announce
ment that it sold more farms in 1886
than in any previous year of its history.
When 1t is learned that approximately
rs per cent of the farms were bought
by the farmers themselves, and only %
per cent by non-farmers. the elation
turns definitely to optimism over the
future of agriculture.
Behind the announcement is a grow
ing belief IN the prosperity of the soil
Operating in all parts of the country,
the land bank is good barometer of
national trends. The trend, at least. is
back to the soil.
Imperial Valley, the very existence
of which is founded upon fertility of
the land, may get along without land
bank loans; but farmers here cannot
help gaining encouragement from op-
timism in other parts of the country.
Their prosperity, after all, is closely
linked to the prosperity of other farm
ers.
There may be many reasons for re-
newed faith in the SOIL Increased ma
tional prosperity in all branches of in
dustry undoubtedly is one reason An
other is the greater comfort in farm
homes, compared to that of several years
ago. Rural electrification, modern farm
machinery, and city conveniences have
taken large measure of drudgery out
of farm living.
Time was when the farmers abode,
compared to homes in the city, was
place of threadbare hardship. That time
has passed.
Many farmers now can live in home
as comfortable as any in the cities. He
can have every convenience known to
the city dweller-and a great deal more
in the way of fresh air, privacy and ell
bow ROOM The farmer is no longer an
unfortunate "hayseed.' He is better
educated, his life is better regulated, and
his employment is more pleasant than
most.
1t is no wonder the drift is to the
farms.

Two years ago skilled doctors
performed a medical miracle on the
body of a middle-aged Ohioan nam
ed Joseph Krchmar.
This man was suffering from
what looked like the very last stages
of angina pectoris. His chances Of
living more than few weeks were
MT worth a nickel, and the doctors
told him so without any hesitation.
There was just one chance, and it
was a thousand-to-one shot.
DR.. Claude S. Beck, of Cleve-
lands Lakeside hospital, has been
experimenting on animals with an
operation designed TO cure angina
pectoris. He hoped that it would
work with human beings, but he
wasn't sure. Would Mr. Krchmar
submit to it? He might die under
the knife-but he would most GER
tainly die anyway, in a very short
time, if nothing was done.
Mr.. Krchmar took the chance.
An epoch-makin operation was per-
formed. A muscle from his left arm
was grated onto his weakened
heart. He survived the operation,
spent four months in hospital-and
at last, returned to his home cured,
man who had come back to life
from the very gates of death.
Now, if the story ended there il
would be all very pretty. But real
life stories don't stop with the
happy ending of fiction. They
keep on going and sometimes the
original happy ending gets showed
under.
So it was with Mr.. Krchmar
Restored to health, he faced the
task of providing for his wife and
their three small children-and he
couldn't get a job. The family was
on relief when he went to the hos
pital: since then he has struggled
in vain to find a job that would
get them off relief and keep them
off permanently. ..
He got one job-and it paid him
only S. week, which wasn't near
ly enough to make the family self
supporting. At present he is out
of work and he sees no immediate
prospect Of changing that status

the music is hot and continuous.
It's clientele attains a half million
