lief that can intervene between God
and His creation, including man made
in His likeness, who is wholly good.
Even though this truth may be OBJ
scured for a time, it will stand in spite
of all efforts of evil to erase it. Man
cannot be separated from God, the
cause of his being, the source Of all
real existence. Soon or late, every
mortal will awake from the dream Of
separation from God, good, to hear
and respond to the call of Love. Then
will Principle and its reflection be
understood as existing in everlasting
harmony; and Loves likeness will be
seen as eternally loving. Truth will
"sweep away the refuge Of lies, and
the waters shall overflow the hiding
place" Isaiah-28:17). -.
Let us, therefore, seek and maintain
the true sense of government that
manifests the unalterable relationship
existing between God and man; and
let Us not violate it by interposing
command to worship the idols of hui
man will. Individuals must be free to
offer their sole allegiance to God. The
dawn Of His day appears; the bright
and morning star" (Revelation 22:16)
is seen as the coming of the Christ,
Truth. The effect Of this spiritual
dawning on human thought, bringing
hope and healing to men, is shown in
the life and works of Christ Jesus. /.
Right thinking individuals are united
In the prayerful effort to see true free
dom and law as divine attributes, and
to claim their benefits for all. Man.
kind must gain a fuller understanding
Of the First Commandment, "Thou
shalt have no other gods before me"
EXODUS 20:3), for obedience to it
brings about the destruction Of all
evil. Then, like John the Revelator, all
the people shall hear "a great voice
out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he
will dwell with them, and they shall be
his people, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God"

Individual Freedom

T1REEDOM BELONGS to the indi-
yidual, and no system that denies
this can possibly win and retain the
teiligence vetoes slavery, which always
results from obscuring that eternal
freedom which is vital and real.
Stephen and Paul did not hesitate be-
fore adverse popular opinion or mis-
guided human authority when there
was an urgent need to voice the truth.
In the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says
Up. 224): "Truth brings the elements
of liberty. On its banner is the Soul
inspired motto, Slavery is abolished
The power of God brings deliverance
to the captive. No power can with
stand divine Love-"
It is an old argument of error that
tyranny is justified because it works
to bring about good for the majority,
that it will procure orderliness and
peace, end warning factions, fulfill all
practical needs, weld into unity ele-
ments that appear discordant and err
ratio. Such belief, manifesting itself
in form of government which denies
individual freedom of thought, speech,
and action, may appear for time to
improve material conditions by check
ing license and other abuses which prey
on individual rights. But the core Of
tyranny is it's seeming power to pro-
duce semblance of obedience through
fear, instead of through intelligent
self discipline, and the basis upon
which it rests cannot be made sound
by over-zealous eloquence. Tyranny
rejects spiritual values, without which
existence is a meaningless dream. De-
void of reality, lacking the divine at
tributes which ensure the continuity
of all right ideas, it's pretense to power
falls before the law of God.
God is omnipotent, omnipresent, ON
niscient, and omniactive, governing all
His children through spiritual law.
This divine law can be understood and
demonstrated by all, for their mutual
good. There is nothing in mortal be-

D. Washington Ssoss Proeress eemmlssleaa

While Spanish explorers had sailed
up the Pacific Coast beyond the south
srn boundary of Oregon as early as
1912, it seems likely that the ffrst
white man reached the coast of Wash
ington in 1903. In that year Martin
Aquilar. a Spaniard, reported seeing
the estuary of a great river, presum-
ably the Columbia, ON sailing trip
that carried him into Washington wat
ers. No other explorers visited the
Washington section of the Pacific
Northwest Coast until 1774, when
Juan Perez reached north latitude IS.
From then on exploration was
constant.
Bruno Heceta and Juan francisco
de Bodgat Quadra in ITS explored
the Coast to north Of latitude So. In
1871 another Spanitrd, Alferez Qui-
mper explored the Strait of Juan de
Fuca. Perhaps the most important
year in exploration and discovery in
Washington is 1892 when George
Vancouver, the British Captain. thor
oughly explored Puget Sound and
Coast line The American Captain
Robert Gray discovered Grays Har-
Dor and sailed into the Columbia. Lew
is and Clark traversed Washington in
1905 and 1906. David Th ompson est
ablished the first residence of white
men in the state at Spokane House in
1910. In the following year John JAG
oh Astor established Astoria and built
Fort Okanogan. The war of 1872

craft guns are complicated meehan-
isms. We probably need more of them
than any nation that ever was called
upon to protect itself, and there
must be trained specialists to handle
them. Fortresses are only worth while
if they are manned by sufficient
skilled forces to make them impreg.
nable.
Once upon time the embattled
farmers were good enough to meet
and defeat the army that beset us
at Lexington, but that type of CON-
bat lives only in history. Nowadays,
ns the terribl lie experience OF
France, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Nor
way and Denmark has so tragically
demonstrated, valor and patriotism
are pitifully inadequate to cope with
modern invasions. Our defenders must
have the latest and strongest weapons
and, moreover, must know how to
handle them. And that sort Of know
ledge is not gained in a day.
Soldering is no longer pursuit

meet an onslaught oy an army and
navy with every equipment which sci
ence has been able to produce under
officers who have been schooled for
years in directing machine warfare.
The whole of our peace-time army
would not be enough to service and
man the air fleets we are planning to
construct. That leaves only the partly
trained National Guard as our present
reserve, and, at this writing, some
people are demurring at having the
National Guard mustered into service.
It seems rather obvious that the
regulars have to be kept in readiness
to garrison the Panama Canal, per-
haps Puerto Rico, and if the assault
we must guard against comes in Lat
in America. we may have to take care
of that situation as well.
Perhaps that situation may never
arise. 1t is certain that it is Less like
ly to arise if we are prepared for it,
than if we are not.
What we are aiming at Is to keep
the war from getting over here, via
South America or Canada, OR by any
other way station. We would not be
very comfortable with Herr Hitler 8
forces as ear-neighbors, even if our
Monroe doctrine did not pledge US to
prevent the shifting of colonies in
the Western hemisphere from one for,
eign nation to another, let alone the
Hitlerization Of any of our neighbor
nations.
It goes without saying that we
must be prepared to get along without
for the present at least-the Brit
ish fleet in maintaining our creed of
America for the Americans. So we
must figure that we are on our own
in whatever the immediate future
has in store for US.
Fortunately or unfortunately, we
have Presidential election in prog
ress while we are getting ready to
defend ourselves. Consequently there
is bound to be lot of politics in
volved in the discussions of how we
are to do the job. Perhaps no admin
istration has ever gone as far as the
President has gone to minimize the
political aspect Of things He has tax

ing to make the country believe that
even this was some sort of maneuver-

]This sort Of fussing is not going to
make any difference in the long run,
If it comes to the big test, our citi-
zens are patriots first and Republi
cans or Democrats second. But the
happenings may delay matters to some
extent, and we cannot well afford
delay.
AS to the quarrels over the matter
of how to get a suitable army, we
should keep in mind that If the worst
eventuates, we need the finest, best
trained army we can put together.

Ever since the first breath of
spring has been in the air, l have
been receiving letters asking how to
have a clear smooth skin for spring
and summer. What few of you seem
to realize Is that a beautiful skin
starts from within. You must get
yourselves in good physical condi-
ton If you hope to glow with youth
and beauty and springtime fresh
ness.
Get More Sleep and Exercise
The first step in getting ready for
spring and summer is to work out
a balanced routine of sleep, exer-
else and diet. If you have been
burning the candle at both ends,
you are probably paying for it now
with dull, lusterless eyes and sallow
skin. Remember that eight hours
sleep every night Is more effective
than any beauty treatment. And If
you have difficulty getting to sleep
early, the solution is right at hand.
You probably need more outdoor
exercise that will leave YOU pleas
antly relaxed and beautifully tired
at the end of the day. A brisk walk,
say to and from work, or, II you are
a lady of leisure, the early part of
these sunny afternoons, ig one OF
the best forms of exercise for all

potatoes and bread. And drink lots
of water at least eight glasses
daily. Plenty of water will help
purify your entire system.
Select Makeup With Care
After you have taken are OF
these fundamental rules, start on
your skin. AS l have told you so
often before, it is important that
you cleanse your face at least twice
a day, either with soap and warm
water, or IA good cream, depending
on the texture of your skin. A good
skin tonic which has an astringent
effect is a great help in toning up
the skin after cleansing. If your
skin is inclined to he dry, a rich
night cream is a boon in helping
smooth and soothe and in discoar-
aging tiny lines and wrinkles.
In selecting your makeup for
spring, choose shades that will no.
only blend well with your natural
coloring but also with your new
