poor type of humor. But the govern
ment cannot indefinitely pour out the
vast sums which have been extended
for relief of the unemployed and con-
tinue to accumulate astral federal
deficits. A better and more efficient
way of relieving the man out OF JOB
must be devised-and we believe that
way is for Washington to quit it's So
cialistic nonsense, cease the reckless
waste and squandering of public
funds, encourage instead of discour-
aging business so that the slack OF
unemp mployment can be taken up by
the recovery of private industry. This
is the first time in the history of the
nation when fear of its own govern
ment has indefinitely delayed the re-
turn of prosperity. The average WPA
worker wants and is entitled to real
lob with a future, not a job with an
uncertain tenure at subsistence lev
ell, and he will not have such a job
until private industry revives. Bus
mess recovery is Of just as much
Importance to the WPA worker as
to the industrialist.
We should like to ask Mr.. Gibson
how the vast Indebtedness created
by the New Deal relief agencies is to
be paid-whether by increased taxes
which will impoverish everyone in
the land-whether by further cheap
ening the dollar which robs and de-
frauds every man who has saved and
accumulated-or will it be paid
through initiation the most thorough
ly vicious system of debt paying
methods of all and one which is the
certain road to ruin. According to
figures just released by the National
Economy League, 201a billion dollars
have been expended upon relief dur
ing the past seven years. According
to this authority, % million people
or 18th of the entire population of
the country are receiving relief in
some form or other. While the trend
of the number on relief is slightly
downward, relief costs this year will
mount to an all-time high. The up
ward trend in costs is brought about
by an increase in administrative over
head and cost Of materials, being 10
to 25 per cent of the total which, in
turn, is due to the adoption of GER
tain forms of expensive work relief,
chiefly the WPA In all fairness, Mr..
Gibson, do you believe that the New
Deal reckless deficit financing and
mortgaging the future to solve our
present problems and bring about re-
covery have to date been other than
highly expensive failure?

HEALTH COMMISSIONER
URGES VACCINATION

AS health commissioner of our
county, | would like to call atten-
ton to the fact that we may be fac
ing an epidemic of smallpox.
Within the last few weeks we
have auarantined cases in Manches-
ter, Center, Meigsville, Windsor and
Marion townships. A great number
of people have been exposed in
these communities
Ohio has had a mild form OF
smallpox for several years. This
last winter some of the adjoining
counties have reported a great num-
ber of cases.
While most of the cases have
been mild and few deaths have oc-
Cured, yet like other contagious
diseases we might have a very vir-
ulent type to develop any time.
Smallpox can be prevented only
by vaccination and re-vaccination.
AS a health project, some several
hundred school children were vac
cinated this last spring in the var
| ious schools of the county. The
boards of education purchased the
vaccine and the work was done by
the health commissioner and health
nurse. 1t was possible for every
child in these schools to have been
vaccinated free, but only a small
percentage availed themselves OF
the opportunity.
We believe boards of education
should adopt regulations prohibiting
the admission of children to school
this coming year unless they have
been vaccinated successfully within
the last five years. Parents owe
their children protection from this
loathesome and treacherous disease,
and this can only be accomplished
by having their children vaccinated

commissioner

not annul, and man could not sur
render, the dominion which is the
very essence of mans existence.
Not human will power not human
ingenuity, not material means and
methods, but an understanding of
the things of Spirit provides the
mastery over evil. Christian Sci
ence says to each one of you: Rise
in the strength of Spirit to resist
all that is unlike god. God has
made man capable of this, and
nothing can vitiate the ability and
power divinely bestowed on man"
(Science and Health, p. 1881.
To those of you who have not
yet experienced this power divine
ly bestowed on man." let me re
mind you that the Bible declares
that God is no respecter of per-
sons" The liberating operation of
Christian Science on human lives is
equally available to all.

A lecture on Christian Science
entitled Christian Science: God s
Great Gift to Mankind, was given
Sunday afternoon in Plaza Theatre,
Milford, by John Henry Weer,
c. S., of Brookline, Massachusetts,,
member of the Board of Lecture
ship of The Mother Church, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Massachusetts,.
To the receptive human consci-
BUSINESS the message of Christian
Science is always new and refresh
ing. All mankind is the benefici-
airy of this divine gift, for it is i'm
partially bestowed. In our true
selfhood we are all richly endowed.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. l"
Christian Science is the Science
of Christianity. Mary Baker Eddy
applied that name to her discovery
of something which always has ex-
| listed and never will end-divine
Truth. There can be and are num-
berle.ss theories and beliefs as to
What is Truth ?" but they have no
effect upon what TRUTH really is.
Our task is not to make the truth
but to learn the truth. Such learn
ing brings realization of true exist
ence, mans oneness with God. That
oneness is never impaired or sus-
pended in the slightest degree.
God being the only cause, moth
ing can originate itself or perpetu-
ate itself independent of that
cause. Since that cause is infinite
| ly god, whatever seems to be other
than good arises from. false test
imony There is no room for mat
ter or evil in a universe not only
created but also maintained by the
one God, who is Spirit.
Mortals are in self-imposed, self
perpetuated bondage to disease,
sin, and death. They have not
freed themselves because they have
not known how, or else were un-
willing to relinquish the material
beliefs constituting their bonds.
But Christian Science is changing
that. 1t offers US the key to free
dom from every human i'll.
Truth is ceaselessly unfolding to
human apprehension. The instru-
mentalities through which it oper-
ates are supported by the omnis-
cience of divine Mind, the omni-
presence of divine Love, and the
omnipotence of divine Principle.
No matter how blind we may be to
this divine power, presence, and
wisdom, it is actually prtecting, re-
warding, and healing right now--it
is not merely future possibility
but also a present actuality.
Christian Science heals not alone
physical difficulties. It is equal to
meeting and mastering every form
of error, in demonstration of mans
God-given dominion as declared in
the very first chapter of the Bible
This dominion is all-inclusive and it
touches every phase of human in
terests. It would have to be an
nulled or surrendered before man
