CHAPLAIN
In the armed forces of the
United States
Captain Bliss, one of eighteen
Christian Science chaplains at pres
ent serving with our armed forces
is a member of a well-known Hart
ford family. His advanced educa-
ton was received at Principal
Junior college, the University of
Chicago and Columbia university.
He was graduated from Columbia
with the degree of bachelor of arts.
Several years ago, on joining the
faculty of Daycroft school in SIAM
ford as head of the history depart
ment, he became a resident of
Darien. In January, 1912, he en-
tered the army with the rank of
first lieutenant and was assigned to
duty at Fort Mcclellan, Alabama.
During the year spent there, he
occupied, for time, the Office of
post chaplain-the highest attain
able in this branch Oft the service.
Early this year he was promoted to
la captaincy and sent to North
Africa.
His reports of the attitude of our
men at the front toward spiritual
enlightenment are indeed gratifying
We cannot appreciate too greatly
the value of our chaplains work in
healing, in teaching those in peril
how to avail themselves of Gods
protecting presence, and to utilize,
effectively, those weapons which
ARE not carnal" but mighty

LANCASTER COUNTY HISTORI-
CAL SOCIETY PRESENTED
WITH RELICS
WITH RELICS

A watch and cane, mementoes
of the Hensel family, have been pre-
sented to the Lancaster County His
torical Society.
The gold-headed cane was carried
first by the late w. U. Hensel and
then by the late George w. Hensel,
Jr., founder of the Slumbering Lodge
of Groundhogs, Quarryville. The
watch was carried at various times by
the three Hensel brothers, w. u.
Hensel, Harry H. Hensel, and George
w. Hensel, Jr. The mementoes were
given to the Society by Mrs. George
w. Hensel, Jr
The cane, which has a. connection
with three presidents, was presented
to w. U. Hensel by President Grover
Cleveland. Its staff is made of ban
lister from "The Hermitage" home
of Andrew Jackson, and the gold
head was wrought by the Gait Jewel
ers, the family of President Wood
row Wilson's second wife, Edith Gait.
After the death of W. U. Hensel in
1915, it was carried by the late
dOOISC I1CuScl W oil Tic O0mOCTdLlC
conventions which he attended.
The gold watch was presented to
w. U. Hensel in 1885 by the Lancas-
ter Watch Company. After his death,
it was carried for one year by Harry
H. Hensel, and after his death in
1916, it was carried by George Hen
sci until his death early in 1913.
Mrs. Hensel said that it was the wish
of her husband that these mementoes
be presented to the Historical Society.
She also presented a cavalry sword
worn by Arthur Stewart, Bart Town
ship, during the Civil War, and
through her, the society received
from Mary Scott Bailey, Oxford, a
banner carried in 1856 by Little

Army Signal Corps the same day
opened telephone service linking Daw-
son Creek, British Columbia, where
the highway starts, with the War De-
partment in Washington.
On the wall in the Office of the
Army Communications Division of the
Signal Corps in the huge Pentagon
Building across the Potomac River
from Washington hangs a sign which
reads: "In an emergency an intelli-
gent quick action is better than delay
in search of the IDEAL" This is the
motto the Signal Corps put to use in
building this telephone line.
In the Edmonton, Canada, office OF
the Signal Corps, Army telephone
engineers had job to finish in eight
days which they knew would normally
take ten weeks to finish. Their job
was to build telephone line for 442
miles through Rocky Mountain coun-
try and Canadian wilderness from
Edmonton, Alberta, northwest to
Dawson Creek, British Columbia. In
eight days the Alcan Highway to
Alaska was to be opened and Dawson
Creek is where the highway started.
The Army men knew that when the
highway was opened and war supplies
started rolling toward Fairbanks in
mid Alaska, there must be telephone
service to put speed in the job. This
job had to be completed in mid-winter
and during a severe snow storm.
This is the service now becoming
available to the vast Alaska territory
which until now has had to depend on
radiotelephone service, a peculiarly
difficult means of communication be-
cause the electrical disturbances Of
the Canadian wilds sometimes scramble
the ether for SO hours at a stretch.

| Company and the Bell Telephone
Company of Canada.
The Signal Corps ran into many
headaches in building this line. The
wire used had less copper content than
that previously used for telephone
transmission, the number of repeater
stations had to be increased, Dawson
Creek had no water supply and 1t had
to be hauled in trucks from a source Ia
miles away, and in addition, the worst
snowstorm to hit Edmonton in 40
years added to the difficulties. 1t also
meant bringing telephone material
from several collection points in the
United States, even flying IA tons OF
carrier and repeater units in from the
Western Electric Company's plant at
Kearney, N. J.
But the Signal Corps, with the as
sistance of the Bell System COM
pleted this job, and the telephone has
been working hard every day since.
Today Army trucks are rolling over
the Alcan Highway, picking up sup
plies at the Dawson Creek railhead and
speeding them north, up through Fort
st. John, through Whitehorse, toward
ice-bound Fairbanks and the Yukon
country.
While the Edmonton Dawson Creek
stretch of telephone line huns with
war business, Signal Corps line crews
are now pushing along the next link
the pole line to Whitehorse. 1t is a
983 mile push from Dawson Creek,
along the Alcan Highway, and the
telephone line to Whitehorse will be
completed in the spring of this year.
But by next fall the telephone lifeline
will stretch from Edmonton on be-
yond Whitehorse, all the way to Fair
banks in the Yukon, some 1900 pole
line miles.

At some time in human experience
there must come the question, what
is mani" The correct and logical
conclusion thereof must be in exact
relation to ones understanding Of
God and His universe.
The Psalmist David, contemplating
the glory Of God and the majesty of
His works, inquired, "What is man,
that thou art mindful of him" He
saw man crowned with glory and
honor and invested with dominion
over all things. He declares, "Thou
hast put all things under his feet. "
His utterances are useless words I'M
less there is some rational way of
translating them into workable terms
so that mankind may understand and
apply this dominion and put all things
under his feet now even to the ami
hilation of the universal belief that
man is mortal, subject to death and
loss of his identity.
AS you contemplate human expert

of human experience are no part OF
your sovereignty; and they have no

Through understanding the nothing

now with definite certainty your i'm

Salvation is a present state OF con-
seriousness that comes to the flesh be-
cause of the Christ. There is positive
salvation for every human being be-
cause the Christ comes to the mortal
man, who is the only man who needs
to be saved. If there were no man OF
flesh there would be no need for the
saving Christ.

A Lecture on
Christian Science
Entitled
Christian Science: The
Science Which Demonstrates
Mans Eternal Identity
A Lecture on
Judge Frederick C. Hill, C.S.B.
of Los Angeles, California


Member of the Board of Lectureship of
The Mother Church, The First Church of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts,
There is a general belief that man
is a human being with material
body, subject to birth, maturity, and
death; that man possesses this body
as his own and thus establishes his
identity.
This reasoning is untrue and must
be corrected before the true status OF
man can be understood. If the real
identity and individuality of man were
in human body or dependent on that
sense of body, the destruction of the
human body would include the ami
hiliation of mans identity.
It is reasonable to assume that the
belief Of humiliation entered Jobs
thinking and caused him to inquire,
eff a man die, shall he live again? -
Regardless of trials and adversely he
had hope of Immortality. He wished
to be assured, "Is my identity eter-
nal?" The same hope that inspired
Job in his despair is apparent now;
and humanity is reaching out for some
source of comfort and assurance
against the material evidences of dis
cord and destruction.
It has been said, "Hope springs
eternal in the human breast" The
human hope and longing for eternal
life and for continuing identity is
proof of the fact that Life is eternal.
Man has eternal life now by reflec-
ton. His identity and individuality
are eternal in Soul and never were in
a material, human body.
The destruction of so-called hui
man body in no way touches or affects
the status of the real man. In Chris
tian Science we find the established
fact that man is divine idea, unfal-
len and eternal, inseparable from God.
As Mary Baker Eddy writes in her
textbook, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" Up. 476), "In
divine Science, God and the real man
are inseparable as divine Principle and
idea"
Christian Science furnishes the IL
Illuminating answer to Jobs inquiry
and to humanity's present fears, by
the assurance that man lives because
he is the exact reflection of Life, that
Life which knows no death. The per-
ception of this verify and it's operation
in human consciousness becomes the
law to the one who recognizes the OPP
portunity now of proving the words
of Jesus, ''If man keep my saying,
he shall never see DEATH"
