Congressman Bob's Opinions

Congressman Bob DOughtOn has spent ~
years in Washington. He probably comes
as near as anybody IN this country in know
ing the answers to "the fix we are in"
Last Saturday night at meeting of the
MidWestern press association in Ashe coun-
ty he talked to his newspaper friends. He
was at home and he talked to home folks
straight from the simultaneously, intel
ligently and without any hokum or effort
to pull the wool over anybodys eyes.
What he said in effect was this None of
us know where the war will take this
country. The people, however, do not rea-
lie the seriousness of it, There is a unity
in the executive offices of the government
but disunity in the legislative end. We
must achieve unity before we can do the
job of protecting ourselves.
Mr. Doughton said-and he repeated it
several times-this country faced the great
est test in it's history. He said again that
each citizen will be called upon to make
increasing sacrifices. People will have to
pay more taxes and have less of the things
in life to which they are accustomed. We
face grim, serious job and he said it was
the job of newspapers to keep their read
ers informed of the seriousness.
The issue at stake, said this veteran leg
islator who obviously meant every word he
said, is simply whether Hitler's way or our
way of life shall prevail 1t is not just case
of helping Britain; rather case of help
ing ourselves.
When, where and how this nation will
become united Mr.. Doughton did not say.
Maybe some incident by the Axis will de-
eide or perhaps time itself will bring it.
Meanwhile our defense program boys
down with strikes, low morale in army
camps, discomfort among business inter-
ests about priorities and distribution of de-
tense orders to comparatively few con-
Germs, political sparring and apathy of the
general public.
AS Mr. Doughton so well said politics
should be laid on the shelf until after the
duration. By the same token many people
think that President Roosevelt and his
subordinates have not been candid with the
people about the programs which Congress
has passed and for which the people must
pay.
If the people should be stirred out of
their lethargy and warned of their danger
as Mr.. Doughton said they should, why
wouldn't it be good idea for MIR. Roose-
welt and other government officials to lay
their cards on the table and let the people
see what they are up against? If the de-
Tense program is begged down at any point,
why not say so and remedy it? The Axis
intelligence service probably already know
it anyhow.
The other day Kalternborn stated on the
radio that this country was delivering only
so bombers month to Britain and British
bombing losses have been averaging 10
day. That's good news for Hitler. - The
Mocksville Enterprise.

sent Selective Service Act was begun in

ing placed on wedding out those men who
are unlikely to withstand the mental as

Moreover, medical examinations are more

4uC UNDERSTANDABLE VI NAAloIidn
Science can also be applied to the
problem of lack or unemployment,
to what Is termed the pressing prob
lem of earning living. Here thought
must be lifted from the limited, finite
concept of things to the realm OF
the infinite. Blake wrote, If the
gates of perception were cleansed.
everything would appear as it is
infinite" Starting from this stand
point we can reason more scien-
tif1cally.
Can the infinite, eternal, self -exist-
ent Being that is God be conceived
of as needing to earn a living?
Infinite Life, filling all space, is the
only living" there is, and this ID
not earned, but a free gift, the nat
ural state of existence. Man individ-
ualizes the infinite and self existent,
therefore he simply has to be. AS we
realize this, 1t manifests itself hui
manly in what is termed "a living"
Man then, in reality, has not got
to earn. He simply has to be, to be
what he is, and this being includes
all that is needed for living" Fun
damentally from the human stand
point earning living simply means
being active, and active being is the
nature of man. What, then, if error
should say, "You can't be active;
there is no work for YOU? Such lie
could obtain only on the material
plane of thought. From the meta
physical standpoint the scope OF
mans activity is immense and per-
petual, and is in fact infinite, for it
is to express the infinite individuality.
This is his tremendous and satisfy
ing employment. Anyone bordering
and realizing this would be bound to
find work. for to EXPRESS the infinite

c1ple gives at once a prOf0und sense
of the perfect, unvarying law and
government controlling man who is
the idea of his divine Principle, and
so Is held In complete security. To
learn that divine Love is universal
shows us that our affections cannot
be limited to loving this or that per-
son, but that 1t is natural and pos
sible to let our love embrace all,
shining forth as the sun shines forth
impersonally, universally. This does
not mean less tenderness for every
individual, because the sun warns
and illumines equally every little
daisy, every tiny leaf, every blade Of
grass.
A further contribution to revela-
ton made by Mary Baker Eddy is
that she speaks of God as Mother.
Always from everlasting God has
been the Father of all, but Jesus
first taught men to say, Our Father
which art in heaven" Always the
great AM has included the femi-
nine qualities of Mind, but 1t re-
manned for Christian Science to give
to us the tender, comforting title of
Mother by which to know Deity. No
consciousness is complete unless it
includes both the masculine and
feminine qualities. This has not
been recognized. Human beings have
sought to gain completeness from
without rather than from within.
but God being all, man in His like
ness must express all, and so possess
potentially all the qualities. When
each one claims the qualities of
thought expressed In true manhood
and womanhood they will find them
selves complete and satisfied, and
each sex will understand the other
better. Therefore without the title

to accept the patients false concept
but to reject the sense testimony and
accept Gods concept Of man, for
God conceives man in the nature and
character of Himself. '"That which
is born of the Spirit is spirit" said
Jesus, and there can be no disease in
infinite omnipresent Spirit. God Is
conscious of each one of His ideas all
the time, and this may be said to
constitute their preservation and
perfection. Therefore we may say
that God is conscious of us always
as we are, for God is everlastingly
conscious of His creation. AS we rec
ognize this fact it offsets the results
Of false beliefs and induces or con-
fers healing.
Here let a word be said as to the
mistake of trying to mix methods, or
to give Christian Science treatment
and the treatment of materia medica
at the same time. We yield to no
one in our appreciation Of the self
less toll and sacrifice of the best sort
of physicians, but their standpoint is
entirely material and ours Is entirely
spiritual. When two people are walk
ing in opposite directions they do
not meet. To try to mingle these
methods means, generally speaking,
success for neither and leads to
much misunderstanding.
Now, in healing the sick, Christian
Science teaches that all error is i'm
personal, and this at first may seem
hard to understand, but as we recog-
nize 1t, it enables us better to over
come it. I once had an experience
which showed me this very plainly.
