At this period Of swift changes in
the whole social order, we should
and naturally must, as Christians
turn unreservedly for guidance to the
inspired Word, the revealed Truth,
contained in the Holy Scriptures. 1t
is imperative that we heed, more
faithfully than ever before, Christ
Jesus command-for it was COM
mand--to "search the scriptures; for
in them We think we have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of
me-" Again he rebuked some, saying,
aye do err, not knowing the scrip
lures" He gave every evidence that
he himself was deeply versed in the
Old Testament, the only Scripture
there was at that time. And we know
how reverently the messages Of the
great prophets were pondered by the
faithful ones Of Israel, and when
obeyed, how the people were guided,
protected, and blessed.
The profound significance to this
very present hour of that beautiful
event known as the TRANSPORTATION, as
related by Matthew, and the deep and
vital meaning of that sacred expert
ence, is clearly and practically ex-
planned in Christian Science. What
does the TRANSPORTATION really mean?
It means "glorifed "-Christ, Truth,
glorifed. Jesus, you will recall, had
taken Peter, James and John up into
a high mountain, and there appeared
unto them Elias and Moses, talking
with Jesus. From the height of spir-
itual vision to which their Masters
teaching and constant companionship
had brought them, they envisaged this
communion. They saw those two who
had led and prophesied, and held the
people to faith in the one true God,
at the most important crises in Israel's
previous history.
When the vision Of Moses and Elias
had vanished and Jesus was alone
with his awed disciples, they question
ed him about the prophecy which had
existed for centuries concerning Elias.
It was then that Jesus spoke those
words, among the profoundest he ever
uttered, "Elias truly shall first come,
and restore all things" That was
far-reaching prophecy-as we shall
see-reaching down to this very age
in the religious history Of the world.
Mary Baker Eddy realized that the
spiritual Interpretation of all Scrip
ture is the vital Interpretation. AS
she has said, in Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" Up. 207),

Salt and Butter New
Born Infants in Europe

In certain parts Of Europe and
Asia there is a peculiar custom OF
sailing and buttering the new born.
For example, when baby is born
among the Armenians Of Russia the
mother takes the infant and covers
its entire skin with very fine salt.
This is left on for three hours or
more, and then the child is washed
with warm water.
In Asia Minor there is q tribe Of
people living in the mountains who
do even more than this. They salt
their newborn offspring and leave
the salt on for at least "a hours.
The modern Greeks likewise sprin-
kle salt on their infants, but not SO
heavily.
This practice Of sailing babies is
an ancient custom. 1t has its origin
in superstition, Of course. The moth
ers think that sailing insures their
children health and strength, and
that it. will keep evil spirits away.
Even in some Of the outlying Sec
tions of Germany salt is still used
on the child at birth.
In some Asiatic countries moth
ers lay their babies where stream
of water, detected by large leaf,
passes over their heads. This ID to
make them tough, and also to put
them to sleep. The Tartar babe is
covered with rancid butter, after
the body-greasing habit Of the Esl<i-
mos.

Opportunities Arc Still Here

Opportunities Are Still Here
Several years ago Joseph Michel
man of Roxbury, Mass, only three
years out of Harvard, extracted doz-
ems of scientifically and CONNER
cially valuable products out of old
shoes and scrap leather. The al
chemist of old failed to transmute
base metals into gold, but Michel
man succeeded in making gold in
directly from old shoes. Among 9TH
er things he extracted from old
shoes, chrome oxide green, the only
perfectly permanent green known.
Then he obtained animal charcoal,
used in filtering and bleaching; gas
for fuel; pyrocatechol, Photographic
developer; indole, a perfume base
and principal component of jas
mine; an antiseptic better than iodo-
form; tropacocaine, a local anes-
thetic superior to cocaine, as well
as fats and oils and many other
products.

From compulsion of the thoracic

that the average adult chest indexed
at $40, while so-called weak chest
averages about ITO, approximately
10 per cent deeper.

"The spiritual reality is the scientific
fact In all things" Such an interpre-
tation makes the sacred records q liv-
ing document, the very chart Of life in
any crises in any age. "Take away
the spiritual Specification Of Scrip
ture," she declared, "and that compil-
alton can do no more for mortals
than can moonbeams to melt a river
of ice" ibid, p. 241). Thus to her
insight Elias was not merely human
prophet, he represented prophecy;
spiritual evidence opposed to material
sense;" and here follows deeply sig
nificant part of her Interpretation:
"Christian Science, with which can be
discerned the spiritual fact Of what
ever the material senses behold; the
basis of Immortality" (ibid., p. $3.50
A palimpsest on vellum has re-
Gently been discovered, after it had
lain fourteen hundred years in OBJ
security. By means of the searching
ultraviolet ray, the very faint under
writing has been deciphered. 1t proves
to be the complete text Of the twenty
first chapter Of the book Of Acts, in
the Palestinian-S yriac dialect.
This event seems beautifully SYM
bolic Of the light which Christian Sci
ence sheds on the sacred Scriptures
throughout.
Obviously, to become aware Of the
spiritual fact, or Truth, is the vital
need Of the human race today. This
need is being practically supplied to
the receptive thought through the un-
derstanding which Christian Science
gives Of the realism of Spirit and the
unreality Of matter or material sense.
The fallacy called matter, which Is the
source of all mortal discord, sin, sick
ness, and death, disappears in pro-
portion as the spiritual fact, or Truth,
is scientifically discerned.
True Government
The carnal will claims to separate
man wholly from Gods government
from all knowledge or love Of Cod
and then to rule mankind absolutely
in Gods stead. Whatever theology
the carnal mind may assume, it is the
very antithesis of Christianity. In
essence it is always atheism, pagan
ism, as idolatrous as was the image
worship against which the ancient
prophets constantly warned Israel.
From Lucifer, down through all
history, those who lusted for world
conquest have fallen in final defeat.
There was one man, however, and one
only, who justly and finally claimed
complete conquest. "Be of good
cheer" babe Jesus Of Nazareth, 81
have overcome the world" But did
he mean to imply that the man Jesus,
the humble Nazarene, who was about
to suffer the cross, had been world
conquerer? Never! He realized that
it was because he, above all others,
had recognized and obeyed Gods rule,
the absolute government of the one
Mind, that he could make this claim.
Surely the scene in world history
could not have been darker, more
tragic, than at that time. Crucifixion
awaited the Teacher and Founder Of
Christianity.

Traffic Safety Commission VIII Com
duct EDUCATIONAL Campaign For
Lower Speeds
In accordance with the proclama-
ton of President Franklin d. Roose-
welt, Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
has requested the Maryland Traffic
Safety Commission to inaugurate a
Statewide program appealing to
motorists for their cooperation in
an effort to conserve lives, tires and
gas by not exceeding maximum
speed of 40 miles per hour.
In charging the Safety Commits
sion with the details of the appeal
to all drivers, the Governor said, II
am earnestly urging that all driv-
ers stay within the maximum forty
miles per hour to assist in the all
out war effort in the conservation Of
these essential commodities.
Authoritative figures show" he
continued, "that tremendous saw
ing of rubber and gas is made pos
sible by the lowering of our driving
speeds and such saving would re-
suit in the longer use of our motor
vehiclese because in SO many in
stances when the present equipment
is exhaustd, requirements cannot
be made"
Continuing, Governor O'Conor
said, mot only will we help in the
conservation of tires and gas, but
such economies now will prevent the
loss of use of our motor vehicles a
little later ON when such use has
become necessary part of our
present day lives"
The Traffic Safety Commission
Immediately drew up plans for a
Statewide appeal and it is hoped
that the cooperation with their eff
forts will be one hundred per cent.
The Governors request to the
driving public for this reduction of
speed was set forth in his recent
Proclamation asking for this maxi
mum limit for forty miles per hour.

who had been the object of state

Wednesday night, was shot n d

hotel by city detectives.
Leonard, still wearing the b u e

with detectives Frank Breen and
Glen Lane before he was mortally
wounded. Neither of the detectives
was injured.
The youth had taken room at
the hotel today, and police were
called when hotel officials became
suspicious.
The two detectives, obtaining a
pass-key to the room, were met
at the door by Leonard, who Gov.

closed the door, then forced the
detective to call Breen, who had
remained outside.
Breen, suspecting a trick, open

hitting Leonard in the chest with
his first shot. The youth fell be-
meath a table, from where he
fired nine shots at Breen, all wild
before he collapsed.
FBI agents took the youth into
custody in Detroit late Wednesday
afternoon for questioning on a
charge Of illegally wearing the
blue uniform of the U. S. Navy.
While being questioned by an
agent on the ninth floor Of the
