Christian Scientist
Delivers Lecture Here

Gavin w. Allan of Toronto,
Canada, last night addressed the au-
dience on Christian Science in Third
Church of Christ, Scientist, this
city. In discussing his subject THE
Truth About God and Man Which
Produces Peace" the lecturer made
the following statements:
1--WE human beings have been edu-
Gated to believe that good and evil
are personal; that good belongs to
some persons, and evil to others.
So a few individuals are thought
of as little less than gods, and
others as something akin to devils
But Christian Science is showing
us that the good qualities we see in
our friends do not originate with
them, but are reflected by them.
They come from the source Of all
good, God.
Likewise, the evil qualities which
seem to be manifested by some are
not created by them. Such persons
are simply allowing themselves to
be temporarily controlled by what
Paul called the carnal mind
when we awaken to see the i'm
personal nature of good and evil, we
shall recognize the futility of fight
ing each other in order to destroy
an impersonal evil.
Every human being must deal
with the belief that evil is present
in human consciousness, and he
must deal with it either from the
basis that it is true or that it is
false. Many people deal with evil
as something that is real and true.
"The Christian Scientist has
chosen to deal with evil as some
thing God did not make, hence
neither real nor true"

bers Of mice and other animals
that cause much damage to farmers
have noticeably decreased, while
the hawks have added to their
numbers. Sometimes it seems to
take years before we realize who our
friends really are.
In the forks Of a high tree, from
40 to 80 feet above the ground, the
bulky nest Of the. red-tail is built.
Larre sticks are used for the con-
strdction of the outer walls. Small
twigs, bark and tips of hemlock
branches together with moss and
ferns are combined for the inside
walls. This residence is used year
after year. The addition of material
to make it more comfortable or
Evening star., 1940-11-13

repair 1t, tends to make the residence
more bulky each season.
From two to four dull white or
bluish-white eggs are laid. There
is a decided variation in form and
markings. Some may be absolutely
plain and others heavily decorated
with many. shades of brown. A
clutch of red-tailed hawk eggs may
surprise you with their wreaths Of
color or lack of them-in the same
nest-unless you know the truth.
1t is fun watching the younger
generation learn to obtain their
dinner. They. even practice on the
lively grasshoppers, crickets and
beetles, until they are more accurate
in their aim.

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Mice form the principal food Of
this friend of ours. Most of the day,
this hawk is seen from tree look
out, where it can watch the ground
for the mice that are usually abun-
dant and busy, little knowing their
formidable foe is ready to pounce
upon them at any moment. The
hawk will leave its perch and within
very short time returi: with the
small mouse that so recently moved
swiftly through the grass.
Many have given this hawk a
bad name. Poultry thief is what
hey.really mean when they call it
hen hawk. This is not quite fair
to a valuable ally. Only after 1t
has acquired the taste for poultry
and perhaps when its favorite food
is not to be had does this bird
attack chickens.
