dispute that divine Mind is just as present with the patient as with the practitioner, and that the proximity of the two is not 9 necessary factor in healing. The seeming obstacles of time and space, whether they be small or great, are only part of the many arguments of limitation pro- mulgated by mortal mind.
 Salvation
 How much of this Science one understands and makes practical in his daily life depends upon his re- captivity, willingness, obedience, and perseverance,. What he proves and makes his own is based upon the consecrated effort he puts forth in the right direction.
 The Science of Life can be ap- piled and proved only through live ing. A God of love can be compre- hended only through expressing love, giving love, and being loving, Truth can be understood only when demonstrated and practiced. And he who knows the truth and yet does not practice or prove it is building his own prison walls, not helping to tear them down.
 Mankind has too long accepted the theory that salvation is future state to be acquired--a promise for hereafter, to be attained after death. Since now is the only time of which we can ever be conscious, is it not reasonable to conclude that that which can come only at @ future time will never arrive? It is always just beyond reach.
 And there is only one road to salvation, which we are told is straight and narrow. But, one may say, that sounds rather limited and restricted. It is straight in that there are no byways nor detours. It is direct and without digression. Its singleness of purpose has no room for suppositions. conjectures, theo- ries, or human opinions. It travels straight ahead, and in one direc- tion-on and up, and out of all the evil that flesh is heir to. There is no place for any excess baggage. On this road 1t Is truly said that he travels fast who travels light.
 I sometimes think 1t is referred to as narrow because 1t must be travelled singly, individually. There is no one who can do the travelling for any one of us: we must do 1t ourselves. Even Jesus could not do our work for us, but only show us
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-17

how. Others may point the way, give us the benefit of their experi- ences, and assure us they have proved definitely that it is the right way, but we travel singly. Salvation is individual. It is for each one to recognize his oneness with God. When Moses trembled on the brink of a tremendous ilndertakinR he gained strength and courage from the assurance that the pres- ence of God was always with him. So, on this straight and narrow way. we are not actually alone. We may walk with God all along the way: we can be just as sure as the patri- archs of old that His angels are given charge over us to keep us from falling or Stumbling, and plant our feet firmly on the right path. These angels Mrs. Eddy defines in Sci- ence and Health (p. 58D as Gods thoughts passing to man" Step by step we learn to trust God, and we find He gives us strength for each day, and is ever at our side
 Tn this brief hour I have only touched upon the truths contained in the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. But you have these two textbooks of Christian Science for study, and all that you need to know about God, man, reality, the kingdom of heaven, is contained therein Dc not be discouraged if you do not understand it all at first Take any, thing that you do understand, how- ever small it may seem to be, and apply it, prove 1t, make It your own. and the next step will be clearer to you.
 In the back of Science and Health you will find a chapter called "Fruitage," which gives you au- thenticated cases of healing brought about solely through reading the textbook.
 And as you travel upon this straight and narrow way to heaven, harmony, remember these few things. There is one God, one uni- verse and one man, made in Gods image and likeness. Your only work is to recognize your true self as that likeness. Your only business is to find God, your only activity is ex- pressing Godlike qualities, your only duty is to be Godlike. You are at one with God and can never be sep- arated from Him, nor fall from this high estate.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 29.-The Ameri-
can Marine Insurance Syndicates
today announced that w. Bradford
Harwood has been appointed mana
ger. He will assume his new duties
on June l, 1899.
Mr. HARDWOOD brings to his new
position wide knowledge gained
from years of experience in the ma
rine insurance business. Following
extensive brokerage experience he
joined the American Marine Insur-
ance Syndicates. then under the
management of Lawrence j. Brengle.
In 1925 he left the syndicates and
joined the marine department of the
Insurance Co. of North America.
He was appointed marine manager
OF that company in 1886. During
his years with the Insurance Co. Of
North America he was very active in
syndicate matters. In 1887 he spent
some six months in Washington as
insurance expert for the Maritime
Commission. His training has par
ticularly fitted him to meet the de-
mands OF his new position.

Ingot Output Climbs
~ Points, First
Gain in II Weeks
By the Associated Press

J CLEVELAND, May GA better
tone in the steel market was re-
ported by the magazine Steel. 1t
said ingot production increased az
points to 48 per cent of capacity
last week. first gain in IL weeks.
The publication asserted the up
turn was caused in some districts
by general rise in demand rather
than a recent bulge in low-price or
ders for sheet and strip. Stronger
scrap markets accompany the gain
in output.
Shipment Of a large amount of
flat-rolled steel booked lately will
be deferred until next quarter, the
magazine said, consequently ingot
production will be supported for
an extended period by this bust
ness. New buying will be retarded
equally as long, and a test of cur
rent prices awaits the absorption of
material now on order.
Lower warehouse base prices on
sheets, strip and bars were estab-
lished last week, with reductions also
embracing plates and shapes in some
districts. Producers quotations were
reasonably steady. Pig iron pro-
ducers are expected to reaffirm
current prices for the third quarter
Increases in steelmaking last week
included 3 points to SO per cent at
Pittsburgh, 3l2 to 40 per cent at Chi
cago, to As at Youngstown, 4 to 81
at Cleveland, 3 to SO at Wheeling,
AZ to AZ at Buffalo and 8 to So
at Cincinnati. Detroit was down 2 to
81. Unchanged were Eastern Penn
sylvania at 81, Birmingham at 81,
New England at As and st. Louis
at 80.
Scrap prices at Pittsburgh and
Chicago were stronger, as a small
price increase at the latter boosted
the scrap composite cents to $14.
The finished steel composite re-
manned firm at $3.50.

Hidden Taxes
One-Fourth Of Cost
OF Shoes
BY ALFRET G. FRODEL


There are at least 126 different
taxes on every pair of shoes you
buy. The 126 different taxes are
as follows:
Nine taxes paid by the rancher,
Is taxes paid by the transportation
companies, II taxes paid by the
findings producers, IS taxes paid
by the packer, IA taxes paid by the
tanner, IA taxes paid by the findings
manufacturers (shoe laces, rubber
heels, counters, etc., IA taxes paid
by the shoe manufacturer, 16 taxes
paid by the shoe wholesaler and
Is taxes paid by the shoe retailer.
At least Is per cent of the price
of your shoes represent taxes. If
taxes were lower, your shoes would
be cheaper; so would everything
else you buy. This is as simple as
A B e. If you buy a pair of shoes
for 81, the tax collectors get 81.
Cost of Government.
In 1918, 81 out of $3.50 or 6lz
per cent was your share of what
you paid to your governments. The
cost of being governed jumped to
over 81 out of every 81. This
means that your pay check for every
fifth day plus part of your pay
check for the sixth day goes to the
tax collectors.

all foods, but not so high as to cut
down buying, as was the case for
several recent years. The new food
scrip plan, designed to stimulate
food consumption, is not likely to ex-
pand meat consumption to any great
degree. The plan will apply mostly
to surplus commodities, and since
there are no excess meat supplies it
will not be applied to meats.
"The statistical position of the
meat-packing industry is strong.

Packers Earnings
Expected 10 Be
Best Since 1929
Larger Livestock Supply
To Aid Companies,
Analysis Says
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Earnings
of meat-packing companies in the
current fiscal year are expected to
be the best since 1929, according to
Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. The hog slaughter should
approach normal, and the cattle and
lamb slaughter will be well sus-
tanned. Meat prices have been stead
led at about the lowest levels in
several years. This fact should slim
ulate consumption, in view of the
slowly rising trend of employment.
"Fair-sized earnings characterized
operations of meat-packing COM
panies in the first six months of the
fiscal year to end October 81, 1882"
states the analysis. This is in sharp
contrast to results in the first six
months Of the 1878 period, when
large losses were experienced.
Continued improvement is ex-
pected the remainder of the fiscal
year. Packers will benefit from the
larger supplies of live stock, par
ticularly hogs. The price of meats
is still high in relation to that of
