swallowing up of all merely material
methods and conceptions in an I'M
derstanding Of a power and Principle
beyond and above matter.
HAS MATERIALITY A
DIVINE PRINCIPLE?
Does it occur to the average NOR
tai that mankind has had no Prin-
ciple, no definite spiritual rule
whereby and wherewith to meet and
master the problems of human ex-
perience? Take the drugging sys-
TEN, for instance. Can we find any
law or rule here for the cure of dis
ease? The healing potion of yes
terday is likely to be regarded as a
poison today, and vice versa. A cen
fury ago, it is said that credulous
Scotch people put cobwebs on sores,
and toasted cheese on cuts, and YER
lily believed that these remedies
were ~efficacious. Also, a knuckle-
bone of leg of mutton cured cramp,
and white sulphur carried in the
stockings was an excellent remedy
for rheumatism Do we smile in
diligently and say, eyes, but this
was a century ago!" Then consider
a very familiar, oft-repeated query
of our own time, What is good for
a cold?" or, What do you recon-
mend for a headache or indiges-
tion2" And if we listen to individual
recommendations, or to the adver-
tisements in newspaper and radio,
we may conclude that the human
mind has advanced but little beyond
the superstitions of bygone years.
HOW DID CHRIST JESUS HEAL?
Now the Man of Nazareth did his
wonderful healing work and So
called miracles through no reliance
whatsoever on material means and
methods. Apparently he understood
a power, a Principle which varied
not, which was wholly spiritual or
apart from matter. He referred to
this power, this Principle, as his
Father who was in heaven-in other
words, who was not material or
visible to human eyes. From his
statements and the various infer
ences of Holy Writ it can safely be
concluded that this Father or Prin-
ciple is first of all wholly good, is
perfect, changeless Love, is the very
essence of Life itself, and is inf
nitely intelligent, lawful, and law
creating. Turning to and relying
upon this changeless good, spiritual
law, Christ Jesus met and mastered
every known problem which arises
in human experience. Never has the
world witnessed such healing. Why,
it may be asked, in the face of this
indisputable fact, has not mankind
turned to Jesus method all these
centuries, and striven to approx
mate his extraordinary cures of
sickness? The answer is probably
twofold: first it is averredH that the
Master was a miracle worker, and
second, that his mighty works were
confined to the age in which he

THE AND
OF CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE

This revelation did not come to
Mrs. Eddy in a flash of apocalyptic
glory. Through all her human x
perience, a deep spiritual-minded-
ness was evident. She has written
(Retrospection and Introspection,
p. 81: From my very childhood 1
was impelled, by a hunger and thirst
after divine things,-a desire for
something higher and better than
matter, and apart from ito seek
diligently for the knowledge of God
as the one great and ever-present
relief from human woe. The first
spontaneous motion of Truth and
Love, acting through Christian Sci
ence on my reused consciousness,

another?" Surely the righteous
fruitage of Science and Health con-
firms the conviction of multitudes
of Christian people that this pre-
cious volume has brought to human
ity the Comforter promised by Jesus.
Mrs. Eddy herself felt very definitely
that the textbook was not the prod
uct of her own human intellect. She
once wrote (The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany,
p. 114): 1T was not myself, but the
divine power of Truth and Love, in
finitely above me, which dictated
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Then she adds humbly,
q have been learning the higher
meaning of this book since writing
it."
DOES GOD SEND SICKNESS?
In the first chapter of the text
book thought is led to some very
searching questions about true
prayer. We read Up. p, Prayer can
not change the Science of being,
but it tends to bring us into har-
mony with it." Then on the same
page occur these significant state
ments: God is Love. Can we ask
Him to be more? God is intelligence.
Can we inform the infinite Mind of
anything He does not already COM
prehend? Do we expect to change
%perfection?"
In the effort, therefore, to bring
ones thought into harmony with
divine Love and good, one needs to
realize, first of all, that the sickness
or discord he would overcome, is not
the product of a loving God. A
young Christian Scientist was being
taken to task by his grandmother,
a staunch orthodox Christian of the
old school, because he refused to
believe that God was responsible
for the ills of the flesh. Il know
God sends sickness to me-" said the
grandmother; "for I should be a
very spoiled child without my Fa-
theirs correction" when God sends
you the sickness, what do you do?"
inquired the grandson. q call a
DOCTOR" was the prompt reply, "and
ask him to give me some of the
medicines which God has prepared
for our use" But grandmother"
persisted the other, "if God sends
you sickness to punish or correct
you, how dare you call a doctor to
undo Gods work." The venerable
lady was silent a moment. We'll"
she said quietly, I'VE won't discuss it
any furtherl" Now the Christian
Scientist, realizing that discord of
every name and nature cannot be
the outcome of a Cause infinitely
harmonious, Immediately brands
such discord as illegitimate, unreal,
and sees it as the product of fear
and ignorance. Thus he is bringing
his thinking into accord with his
divine Principle; and through mighty
affirmation and realization of the
truth Of being, his prayer heals the
sick.

bles, and others more dignified
which portray the his ric a
periods. There are sleds with red
and green stop lights; building
sets with brick and mortar in
which the mortar is soluble and
a house may be washed down
after it is built. Toy automobiles,
planes and trains all follow the
newest transportation develop
ments. All of these and other
wonderful new toys probably
make many of us wish we were
very young again. But we doubt
if the youngsters get any more
real fun out of these magic toys
as we did those not quite so COM
plicated, some few years ago.

ITALY CONTINUES.
 TO BE PEACEFUL
Diplomats Still Studying Plans to Play Safe in
 War Struggle
ny REYNOLDS PACKARD

Limited Press Stan C0rrespondent)
 Rome, sept, 7,-(Up)-ltalian diplomats under the guidance of Premier Benito Mussolini studied further claritlcation of ftaly's neu- trallty stand today.
 They laid plans whereby Italy would remain aloof from the present conflict while stlll fulfilling Its ob- ligation to the Rome-Berlin axis,
 Authoritative opinion held that rtaly's pronouncement of last Erie day stating 1t would not take mili- tary initiative and Adolf Hltler's message of il duce stating that Ger many would not call for Italian aid would hold Italy out of the conflict for some time but that she still Is responsible to Germany to ful- fill her military commitments If Hitler calls for help.
 No War for Present
 Rome appeared disposed to assure all countries which might insist for a more precise definition of the Ital- ian stand that Italy has no inten- ton of entering the war for the time being but is unwilling to make any long term commitments.
 Usually well informed circles said that because of Italy's present poe sition Gen. Francisco Franco, dicta- tor of Spain, who had postponed his trip to Rome, may yet come. It was reliably reported that he would ar- rive aboard Spanish warship, with an Italian plane and destroyer es. cort, and that he would remain Q week during the last of September or the first of october.
 Mussolini, planning to conserve raw materials, soon will ban the use of re-enforced concrete on all buildings and public works and pro- hibit also the use of iron for fenc- ing, gates, seaffolding and access sories, the Rome radio reported. The decree would not apply to war, navy, and air ministry constructions.
 The Italian press has refrained from comment on the Italian stand.
