from knowing these spiritual facts are
shown in two passages from Mrs.
Eddy's writings. One from Science
and Health reads (p. 25S): "God ex-
presses in nan the Infinite idea forever
diminuti6n, out is-the divine MteIIi.
gence, or Principle, Of all real being:
holding man forever in the rhythmic
round Of unfolding bliss, as n living
witness to and perpetual idea Of mex
AS we realize that our real selfhood
q the expression Of God, good, We
see that there is no limit to the good
we may express. And we are in no
danger Of becoming boastful or vain,
for we are conscious that God is the
source Of all good; that to Him be-
longs the glory.
We may well ask ourselves about
everything in our experience, What is
my standard for this? Rejecting
everything that is limited, distorted,
and imperfect, and accepting only
what is perfect, we shall see the real
standard. Seeing it, we must work
up to it by improving our thoughts
until they conform to perfection. A
high ideal! Yes, but the patience, the
love, and the perseverance one must
exercise to attain It bless one along
the entire way.
God being the Principle Of all right
desires, motives, and attainment,
perfection is the universal standard.
No limitation of good belongs to the
real selfhood Of anyone. And here
we see that it is not q matter Of great
concern whether our brother is meas
uring up to some human standard we
may have outlined. In this regard.
the all-important question is, Are our
thoughts Of our brother measuring
up to the standard Of perfection?
One can readily see the freedom
which results from accepting as ones
own the standard Of perfection. In Il
there 10 no restriction Of good. Ones
love, ones service, ones consciousness
Of good cannot be humanity stand
ardixed, when Il Il understood that
the resources Of good are infinite and
inexhaustible. Paul, with the standard
Of perfection before him, wrote In his
letter 10 the Ephesians (Ephesiana
1:3, a.: BLESSED be the God and
Father Of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
according as he hath chosen US in him
before the foundation Of the world,
that we should be holy and witt ut

The Western Electric Company,
through line of direct descent, has
just celebrated it's SEVENTEEN birthday.
It was in November of 1869 that
Elisha Gray and Enos M. Barton
formed the partnership from which
has evolved the great manufacturing,
purchasing, and distributing arm of
the Bell System, Familiarity known as
western Electric"
In 1869, when Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor of the telephone, was
in London college studying anatomy
and physiology, Gray and Barton had
embarked upon partnership in
Cleveland, Ohio, for the manufacture
Of electrical equipment. Each had in
vested $4,000 in the enterprise. Their
manufactured products in those early
days consisted chiefly of telegraph in
struments, electric bells, signal boxes,
batteries and fire alarms.
Later Gray and Barton moved their
factory to Chicago, ILL.,, changing the
name Of the firm to Western Electric
Manufacturing Company and in 1877
1t was one of six shops which Alex
ander Graham Bell and his associates
engaged to manufacture telephone
equipment for the subscribers first
privileged to enjoy this now indispens-
able communication service.
In 1881 Theodore N. Vail, general
manager of the American Bell Tele-
phone Company and its predecessors
since 1878, took the great forward
stride of consolidating certain of these
manufacturing plants, with the Wes-
tern Electric Manufacturing Company
as the backbone of the organization.

three years ago in an effort to coun-
teract the alarming growth in farm
tenancy in this country. Tenancy has
jumped from 20 percent of the farm
ers in the United States fifty years
ago, to AZ per cent, according to lat
est available information.
During the first three years of the
laws operation, Congress appropria-
ted a total of $75,O0O,OOO for the Ten
ant Purchase Program, enabling close
to 10000 farm tenants and farm lab
orers to purchase their own family
size farms.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-07-12

The new business then took the name
it bears today. With this consolida-
ton, only five years after the success
full demonstration of the telephone,
came the assurance to the operating
licensees of the American Bell of the
best in apparatus design and quality.
Elisha Gray died in 1901. Enos M.
Barton, who remained at the head of
the business until his death in 1916,
saw the company he helped found
grow into a worldwide enterprise. He
hired, as a lad, Harry B. Thayer, who
became president of Western Electric
and then of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. Mr.. Thayer
said of Mr.. Barton, "he gave the bust
ness spirit of progress, striving al
ways for better methods and greater
efficiency and, still more, he gave it q
high standard of business integrity,
of justice, and of fairness to ALL"
President Walter S. Clifford Of the
A. T. & T. Co., who began his Bell
System career as a clerk with the
Western Electric Company IS years
ago, recently said of Western Elec-
trio, "the Bell System has done its
own pioneering in the development Of
physical things, and has manufac-
tured what was wanted instead of re-
lying for progress entirely on such
developments as manufacturers, over
whom it had no control, might pro-
duce. The Bell Systems central pur-
chasing and supply department per-
forms function of great benefit to
all. A word should be said of the i'm
mense value in time of emergency of
this Capitalization of manufacturing
and supply"
