many cases, will do it. Eclampsia,
while it is a complicated disease, is
partly of kidney origin. Metallic
poisons, such as mercury and lead,
are potent but infrequent causes.
And then there is an underlined toxin
for which we have no better name
than catching cold", which shows
how ignorant we are.
Another Possibility
There is one other possibility,
more frequent than all the rest. The
kidney cells remove their poisons
from the blood stream, and in order
to do so they surround the fine capil-
larry blood vessel tufts that exist in
the kidney and are so beautifully
designed to cooperate with them.
Now it is possible that the kidney
cells are all right, but that the blood
vessels become hardened, SO that
the kidney cells cannot do their
work. This is the type Of nephritis
that is associated with high blood
pressure.
What can be done in the way of

the situation is almost never as
gloomy as might be inferred from

enough to allow the body to carry

EASTERN SHORE CCC TO
CONTINUE INDEFINITELY

Representative T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough, who put up fight to have five
CCC drainage camps on the Eastern
Shore retained, announced today that
an order has been signed which will
continue these camps indefinitely.
Mr.. Goldsborough some time ago
appeared before a subcommittee Of
the Appropriations Committee and
urged that sufficient funds be pro-
vided for continuing draining camps,
including the five on the Eastern
Shore.
: The continuing of the operation of
these camps places them in the same
status as other CCC camps. The
Eastern Shore camps are located at
Goldsboro, Vienna and Westover.
While the camp located between
Pocomoke and Snow Hill is not a
drainage camp, the Democrat" is in
formed that there has not been, as
yet. any order for its removal.

BY Law God Communicates
with Man

We use electrical forces for trans
mitting messages from one person to
another. Through these forces the
whole world Is at our elbow. II com.
munication has become so easy In
the material realm is it not reason
able to think that the intelligent
cause Of the universe has means
wherewith to communicate freely
and constantly with His expression,
man? The Bible relates that. through
spiritual sense, the prophets and
Jesus talked with the Father, Mind.
There was no mystery at all about
it. Why should there be? But how
does God, Mind, communicate with
man? Through law-the force Of di-
vine intelligence. Says Mrs. Eddy
(Science and Health, p. 72), Divine
law is the communication Of truth"
So If we wish to receive Gods wise
and loving communications we must
through spiritual sense understand
His communication, divine law. One
of the functions Of Gods forces, or
law, is to communicate to man every
instant the ideas which produce un-
erring judgment, that protect and
direct his going and his coming, that
bring him into right relationships.
BY law, the force of divine thought,
God communicated to Moses and to
David, to the prophets, to Jesus, and
to John. All revelation, inspiration,
intuition is communicated by divine
energy, or law.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-06-10
Law Lifts Thought

Another vital function Of law is to
lift thought, exalt consciousness. Can
you think of anything men need more
than that? To have thought lifted

prisons of fear. the tombs of mate.
rial deafness and sin, into the SUM-
light of spiritual confidence, hope,
renewed and vitalized being where
life is worth while and every day a
new opportunity for radiating the
glaoness of Life and Love. Well, law
is the lifting force. the elevating
power that does this. Get hold of
law by loving law. Hold on to it,
and it will lift your thinking and
YOU into new freedom. Says Mrs.
Eddy (Science and Health, o. 2O0),
The law of Sinai lifted thought into
the song of David"

God. So filled was his thinking with

Ability, Opportunity, Reciprocity

The law Of God, or Mind, imparts
unlimited ability to man. It Is this
law which assures man Of his Cod
given ability to think, to initiate, to
perform. Gods man Is full Of abil-
ity. AS he Is law-fllled, so he Is abil.
ity-filled-filled with intelligence.
Jesus showed man to be an individ-
ual embodiment Of divine ability, for
man is the immediate expression Of
the life and ability Of God. Deity's
intelligence is ever reflected by man
and is his ability.
Gods law provides man with abil-
ity, and also with perpetual oppor-
tunity for the use and expression Of
his ability. OF what use would be
ability II there were no opportunity
to use it? Divine law employs its in
telligent forces in all consciousness
to make room and opportunity for
each individual to use his ability.
Gods law not only imparts to His
man continuing ability and suitable
opportunity, but also sense of reci-
procity, that is an honest apprecia-
ton by his brother of what he gives.
Jesus claimed his rights under this
aspect of divine law when he said,
"The Father :. hath borne witness
of me-" And the Psaln1ist sang,
"Thou hast crowned him with glory
and honour" 1t is the just law Of
God that each individual be accorded
what is rightfully due him, that reci-
procity be expressed to him by his
brother man. God constitutes the
only real thinking of our brother. Di-
vine Mind makes all of His individ-
ual ideas to think rightly, justly, ap-
preciatively toward one another and
to give to one another with that

The next question is, Why is law?
Law exists to establish and to con-
tinue order in the universe-order
in our thoughts, bodies, relationships,
and lives. Often we speak of es,law
and order" sOrder is the effect of
the universally operating force called

secure relief from sickness-good evi-
dence that men do not regard disease
as something God would have them

to the method by which to get rid Of
It. Christian Science uses the laws
and forces Of the creator, just as
Jesus used them. Think you there Is
q higher law or wiser way than that?
Jesus healed the centurion's serv-

Writings, p. 33D. It is this force
which provides the practitioner with
an omnipotent power everywhere
wherewith to heal his patient. Space

THESE PLANS FOR
A BIGGER CALIFORNIA

(Napa JournaD
For the sake of peace and Is million
dollars, Mexico ceded California and Il
large area of the west to the United
States in lS4S.
And now 80 years later comes a pro-
poSal that the United States buy from
Mexico another large area, another new
frontier, for settlement expansion and
exploitation.
How earnest William H. Evans is, we
can't say, but this former Pacific coast
supervisor for the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration undoubtedly hoped to drop
two birds with one stone in recently urg-
ing that Uncle Sam extend California $
boundaries to take Lower California un-
der its wing.
First, to add the mtapped resources
of that 160-mile long mountainous penin-
sula to California's wealth, and second.
to enable Mexico to pay off the oil eX-
preparation claims-a debt which has
turned that nations budget a far deeper
red than a mildly pinkish regime likes
to see it.
However, that spindly peninsula, rich
in minerals and fisheries, and potential
ly rich in timber and hydro-electric re-
sources. has been practically shut off
from the world since its silver mines
were first worked over 200 years ago.

THE NEW DEAL STICKS
ITS NECK OUT

The New Deal should have known bet
ter in Iowa.
Political strategists of the Admins
tration forces today counted up the casu-
aties after one of the graVest political
blunders of the season. The fact that
Iowa may go to the polls in the general
election to elect a Republican senator
makes no difference in the current tally.
The bald, bare fact remains that the New
Deal lined up its big guns longside Rep.
Otha ID. Wearin-and Sen. Guy NJ. Gil
lette walked away with the Democratic
nomination.
Wearin had everything except Pres-
dent Roosevelt's rsonal blessing.
James Roosevelt the Presidents son and
right hand bower, bestowed sort of
secondhand parental blessing on Wearin.
Harry Hopkins, who never speaks politi-
cally without Voiclng a dyed-in-the- wool
New Deal thought, swung his power
that is, what power he had = behind
Wearin. And Gillette won.
1t was the New Deal which made a
testing ground of the Iowa primary. 1t
was the New Deal itself which made the
New Deal an issue. And therein was the
blunder. The only grudge against Gill
lette, the incumbent, was that he voted
against the supreme court bill Therein
he showed disloyalty to the New Dealt
according to the New Deal, and there
fore he was opposed. What better issue
could Gillette have had, if he had been
given the opportunity to make his own
issue? He had to do only one thing, and
he did it.
81 will not be rubber stamp he de-
clared. And the people voted for him.
The voters do not like a rubber stamp,
except to mark their ballots with.
The New Deal laid the election in Gil
lettes lap.
From the Iowa primary, the New Deal
should learn one lesson. The people Of
state do not like to be told from Wash
ington how they shall vote.
From the Iowa primary the nation
may gain one favor. Had Wearin won in
Iowa, the Administration was prepared
to hold congress in session until reor-
ganization bill, once shelved, was passed
or definitely defeated. It would have

friends ADVISED.
In the evenings, after work. the
two boys would discuss their plans.
The next morning the tall one would
20 back to the lumber yard ano
BEGIN to load the farmers wagons,
and the short one would go to the
grocery and begin weighing beans
and padding out butter.
The name of the town where they
lived was Waters.
Suddenly and disastrously Nature
sent a flood roaring down the
Arkansas River. 1t washed away
the homes of the share choppers
it wrenched the boats of the shanty-
boaters from their moorinss. Death
and destruction and pestilence
walked in the wake Of that fearful
flood.
The town wanted to raise money
for the stricken. The committee
called up everybody it knew who
could sing or dance or act, but
few would take part. Finally the
committee reached the grocery boy
and the lumber piler. They could
Mt dance. they couldn't sing. they
couldn't even play a horse-fiddle,
but they said they'd >do what they
could. SO they burnt cork, smear
ed their faces and played the role
of a couple of lazy Negroes.
The entertainment went over like
a flood itseli Everybody in town
was talking about them.
The radio station in Hot Springs
called up and asked them to put
on an entertainment for them. The
boys were excited. My. That was
getting ahead in the world
When they got to the radio sta
ton, the manager told them there
were too many blackface comedians
on the air, he had no use for them.
The boys were flabbergasted. The
program was to begin in ten min
utes.
They had a whispered talk and
told the manager they would 90
on as Arkansas rubes.
What names are you going to
use?" he asked.
The short one said, Il used to
knowa man named Abner 50 I'll
call myself Abner."
II guess I'll call myself Lum,"
said the other. 1T sounds kind
of country like"
In five minutes they were on the
air-and they've been on ever since.
Seven years.
Today the only comedy team in
the world which gets more mnoey
than Lum and Abner, is Amos and
Andy.
The town became so proud that
it has changed its name from
Waters TO Pine Ridge, the name
the eX-grocery and ,ex-lumber yard
boys use as the name Of the town
where their characters live.
Not bad for a couple of small
town boys, is it?
