dicated in its every page, for Science
and Health sets forth the things Of
God. In a divine universe all must
be law and order, subject to rules and
regulations according to divine Prin-
ciple, under the jurisdiction of Mind.
And, moreover, since Christian Sci.
ence finds it's authority in the Bible,
one should and can also find evidences
of its system there. For example, the
twenty-seventh Psalm is perfect il
lustration of the application of the
Science of Christ, the spiritual idea
of Truth, to the destruction of error.
Here every needed and proper step in
a Christian, a scientific treatment, is
covered. The physical malady is
brought upon its falsely mental plane,
and the wrong concepts, the false be-
liefs, are replaced with the right idea.

Hide-ond-Seek Bottle
Under Way in Desert

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. u lP.-Brit-
ish mechanical forces are fighting
a hide-and-seek battle with isolated
Italian forces in the western Egypt
ian desert following the capture of
Sidi Barrani in sudden drive west
ward toward the Libyan frontier,
advices from the front said today.
South of the mud hut village-ad-
vance base for Italian operations in
Egypt since last September-scat-
tered Fascist units apparently were
still holding out in fortified en-
campments, battered by British ar
tillery and bombing planes.
Reports from the front said new
patches of Italian prisoners were
being brought in continually, swell
ing the total of 5000 the British
announced yesterday already had
been taken.
The nature of the operations, it
was said, made it difficult to obtain
at once an accurate tally on the
number of prisoners and equipment
so far seized.
Sidi Barrani itself, which consists
of one small fort and a handful Of
novels, was said to have been re-
duced to a rubble heap by the pound
ing of naval guns and air bombs be-
fore it was occupied by the British.
