Splitting Hairs With
Precision a Business

To Hans Book and his assistant,
Kurt Stirner, there is nothing very
unusual about their business of split
ting hairs.
These hairs which Book splits with
complete precision are spider
threads. He uses them in his Phila-
delphia shop for repairing precision
instruments for many firms in this
country.
Book prefers tannish-brown spi-
ders. He first gathers few dozen
cocoons in the weeds along a river,
and then looks for live spiders. He
usually finds them in holes bored in
telephone poles.
When Book yanks their webs the
spiders start running. Book catches
them and feeds them on flies in his
workshop for one OF two days.
Then he puts them to work by
urging them to walk over pencil
or some other such obstruction.
AS the spider climbs down he be-
gins releasing thread. Immedi-
ately Book holds the hind legs over
the back of the spider to prevent
it from cutting this thread. These
hind legs are spiders scissors.
Holding the insect between his
thumb and forefinger Book puts a
dab of shellac on six-inch reel, at
taches the end of the thread to it,
and starts winding. One spider
gives about 100 feet of thread.
These spider threads, one ten
thousandth inch thick, are used as
finders in telescope sights.

the things of Spirit; in other words,
she was a spiritually minded woman.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
the great facts Of God and divine
Being, as set forth in the teachings OF
Christian Science, should have ap-
peared to her. They appeared because
she was spiritually ready to receive
them, and in our own study they will
appear to you and me in proportion to
our readiness to take them in. The
Revelator, describing this call Of the
Christ at the door of consciousness,
wrote, Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he
with me-"
Prior to her discovery, Mrs. Eddy
had for twenty years or more been
endeavoring to trace all what might
be termed physical effects back to
mental cause. In 1866, however, cul-
minating in her recovery from severe
injury and at time when she was not
expected to live, she perceived the
great and irrefutable fact that God, or
causation, is Mind-that divine Mind
is the source Of all existence or being;
that God is self-existent Cause, and
that, therefore, all real or actual being
is in and of God, and that all true
being or existence must be an express
sion or evidence of one infinite Mind
or intelligence.
The revelation of the Science OF
Being did not appear at once in its
entirety to Mrs. Eddy. It came more
or less gradually, but she was con-
tinuously conscious that back of the
unfolding ideas was divine power. It
is important also to note that the
appearing to her Of these great spiri-
tual facts was supported by reason
and demonstration. That is, Mrs.
Eddy perceived that her concept of
God was intelligent, rational, and
logical, and most important of all, that
it was disable, practical, and could be
demonstrated in the ordinary affairs
OF human life. In certain sense, it
may be said that everyone who takes
up the study of Christian Science fol-
lows the same course. First, there is
a perception of its truth; second, it's
reasonableness appears; and then
inevitably we discover and demon
strate its practically. A tree is known
by its fru.t, and the fruitage of Mrs.
Eddy's greas life of service to the
race is witnessed in the grateful testi-
mony Of the thousands who have been
healed and regenerated through the
study and application of Christian
Science.
AS far as You and are concerned,
any sb-called science remains a closed
book if we do not understand it, and
no science can be said to be really
understood unless it is studied, applied,
and in some measure demonstrated.
The science of chemistry would re-
main entirely abstract if experiments
were not made in the laboratory, and
only those who go into the laboratory
and actually demonstrate their knowl-
edge Of chemistry may be called

A Lecture on
Christian Science
Entitled
Christian Science:
The Understanding of Mans
Oneness with God
Richard ]. Davis, C.S.B.
of San Jose, California

of San Jose, California
The Mother Church, The First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, In Boston. Massachusetts
Mental freedom, continuity Of
health and happiness are conditions
that every human being instinctively
desires but has seldom seemed to at
tain in any satisfactory measure. For
centuries men have worked and strug-
gled for freedom. They have sought
in many directions for health and they
have tried devious ways to find happi-
ness, but the evidence before us today
would indicate that no degree of sue
cess has attended humanity's search
for the legitimate and altogether de-
sirable states of being.
It must be apparent to anyone who
thoughtfully considers the subject
that, if the race had demonstrated the
necessary intelligence and understand
ing, it would have long since attained
its goal, and that what is needed is
obviously more acknowledgements.
The progress of humanity seems to be
slow, but it is inevitable; and it APP
pears in direct proportion to its &C.
quirement of greater spirituality. In
other words, the progress of the race
is really dependent on it's increased
spiritual understanding and its aban-
donment Of false religious concepts.
Therefore in coming before you to-
night, with the message of Christian
Science, it is encouraging and reas-
surfing to recall the words of Isaiah:
"The people that walked in darkness
have seen great light: they that
dwell in the land Of the shadow of
death, upon them hath the light
shined." Today there are thousands Of
people who for years have stumbled
and walked in mental darkness, and
who, fignratively and literally, have
lived in the shadow and dread of
death, but who are now emerging into
light through rational and intelligent
understanding of God, and of what
being really means.
It is clear that great discoveries and
light along any line come to those
most mentally prepared to receive
them. An inventor receives the I'M
foldment of progressive mechanical
ideas because his thought has been
turned in the specific direction to re-
ceive them. So it is with spiritual
revelation. That state of consciousness
most devoid of materiality will be the
,one most naturally receptive to the
spiritual impartations Of God to man.
Mary Baker Eddy, the revered Dis
coverer Of Christian Science, had from
childhood been seeker after God.
Her thought inclined llv towar..s

buy a whole ham instead of single
slices. At the market, after

ham, have my butcher cut off
the hook and one or two / inch
slices at the hook end for use in
cooking vegetables. Try the green

were unveiled in full costume and

full scenery. in last evenings pro-
gram at the National. Prince

Of course, were the two. And with
the savage fire injected by Frederic
Franklin into the role Of the warrior
in the former, and the vigorous
sense for folk expression displayed
by Leonide Massine as the miller In
the latter number, igor" and
"Three-Cornered Hat" were spec
tacles indeed. Both principals re-
ceived fine ensemble support fur
thermore, without which their indi-
vidual spirit could never have been
50 effective. Nor were Massine's 8
dancing subordinates, Nathalie
KrassovSka and the tastefully comic
James Starbuck, eclipsed in any
sense of the word.
The gentle romanticism Of "Swan
Lake" set the mood for contrast
as the opening selection. Mia
Slavenska danced Odette with her
whole heart in the role, for q truly
inspiring performance. Youskevitch
Guerard and the irrepressible little
swans in their speciality performed
in a manner entirely in harmony
with Slavenska's.
