SKETCH OF ROCK SPRINGS

A paper on "Rock Springs" and

One of the most urgent questions
throughout all Christendom today is:
What must we do to refute the in
sidious and misleading suggestions, SO
widely prevalent, that Christianity
may vet prove unavailing to meet the
great human need, or indeed has al
ready failed?
In the first place, Christians them
selves must be fully convinced that
Christianity as Jesus taught and prac-
ticed it is the Science of Mind, because
it is the complete and exact knowledge
of God. Therefore it has never failed
it cannot fail. The main purpose Of
this lecture is to show that, by it's
very nature and law, there can be no
possibility that Christianity in its
primitive purity and practice can ever
fail to fulfill it's God-ordained mission.
Mrs. Eddy was deeply impressed by
the necessity to bring back to the
Christian church an understanding of
the primal order of the first great
cause, thus establishing the divine ma
ture of Science as constituting the ex-
act knowledge of God, who is the one
infinite cause. She discovered and
proved that Science and Christianity
are identical in actual demonstration.
She saw and declared in her textbook
10. A., "We reach the Science of
Christianity through demonstration of
the divine nature"
Christian Science is based firmly on
the Scriptural declarations of Gods
nature. In the light Of this Science
we see that Moses virtually declared
God as Mind when he was inspired
with the revelation that God is the
great l AM, or infinite divine con-
seriousness. We also see that the First
Commandment, to acknowledge and
serve the one and only God, attests
the infnitude and, therefore, the ever
presence of God. Centuries later
Christ Jesus said, "There is none good
but one, that is, Cod" He revealed
and demonstrated the divine nature in
the oneness and allness of good. Still
more definite was his declaration that
"God is a Spirit: and they that wor-
ship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth" This assures us that all
truth, or exact knowledge, must con-
sist in the knowledge of God, and is
spiritual.
Mrs. Eddy reached the conclusion,
through revelation, that all Scriptural

FOOD RATIONING AND HEALTH

Emphasizing the Importance to
civilians of good nutrition and the
health and energy that the right
food can produce, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of Health, says that the
point rationing of foods need not
undermine the nutritional status
and general health of the people.
Accordingly, he gives the press the
following statement from the Nu-
tritionist of the State Department
of Health.
1.-The scientific knowledge of nu-
triton is being used as tool to
find substitutes that are as good or
better than those foods which are
not obtainable at the present time, y
the Nutritionist says. "All of us
must feel responsible and act in
diligently in using this knowledge
to increase our ability to function
in society as healthy and energetic
persons.
although it admittedly creates
some new problems, point rationing
should not be too much Of hard
ship for the average housewife.
True, your allotted points will not
buy enough canned and processed
foods to fill your needs; but your
health need not suffer. You can sup
ply all of your needs and give
pleasing variety to menus too by
using fresh vegetables and fruits to
help relieve the pressure on pro-
cessed foods. Fresh oranges, tanger-
ines, grapefruit and lemons are ex-
cellent sources of Vitamin c for
health. Raw green cabbage, peppers
and carrots are good too.
For economy's sake, as we'll as
for better nutrition, use everything
When you buy beets, celery, cauli-
flower and carrots use the tops too.
Use any water left over from the
cooking of vegetables in sauces and
gravies or drink it, because it con-
tains vitamins and minerals.
"Soy beans are an excellent sub
stitute for meat. They can be eaten

a casseole, used in soups and Other
ways"

revealments and records Of Gods fA~
ture proved Him to be divine Prin-
ciple. This led finally to the unalter-
able conclusion that spiritual causa-
tion is the law governing all that ac-
tually exists.
Why is it Of such vital Importance
for us to understand the divine nature
as Mind? Because this understanding
enables us to gain clear comprehen-
sion of what true consciousness is. It
shows us how to differentiate between
the false beliefs or suggestions of the
carnal, mortal mind, so called, and the
true ideas and facts emanating from
the divine Mind. In this way Chris
tian Science proves to us that true
consciousness is the reflection or ex-
preston of the divine nature, the ex-
preston of the one infinite Mind.
Consciousness is defined briefly by
Webster as knowledge of ones own
existence" Christian Science shows
mans real existence to be spiritually
mental, and the understanding of this
fact is true acknowledge. Until this
fundamental truth is perceived in
Science, it is not possible for one to
realize his real, indestructible identity.
Proving Mans Identity
Since the gre primal cause is
Mind, the only begotten Of that cause
is idea. When once it is seen and
acknowledged that the divine nature If
infinite Mind, it follows that mans ex.
istence is wholly representative Of
that nature-that he is mental, not
physical. But how is this to be rea-
LIKED and made practical in the midst
of our human experience? Only in the
way the Master taught and proved to
his followers. BY adhering faithfully
to the divine realities of being, Jesus
overcame all the erroneous claims of
the carnal mind, or physical sense Of
existence, and demonstrated mans
perfection and true sonship with God.
He became the Saviour of mankind by
first saving himself from the false be-
liefs of material sense, sin, disease,
and death. This demonstration of the
Science or truth of being shows that
the spiritual fact about anything is
the redemptive power. All that ever
will or can save us from the inverted
or perverted images and illusions Of
the carnal mind is the spiritual fact
or truth.
Science and Health tells us on page
425: Consciousness constructs a bet
ter body when faith in matter has
been conquered. Correct material be-
lief by spiritual understanding, and
Spirit will form you anew" Is not
this what Jesus meant when he said to
Nicodemus, Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom Of
God. That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit?
1t is the Christ, Truth, as demon
strated by Jesus, that reveals the line
of demarcation between false belief
the testimony of material sense-and
spiritual reality. The divine con
seriousness that operated as the MIND
of Christ Jesus is available to us all
through Christian Science.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN
MARYLAND

There were 876 traffic accidents
reported in Maryland during the
month of January, with 81 persons
killed and 401 injured. Baltimore
City reported 610 accidents with 6
deaths and 267 injured, and the
Counties 266 accidents with rs
deaths and 134 injured.
The most notable decrease in fat
alities was in two vehicle collisions
with a drop from Fl deaths last
January to deaths this January
an 85.7% decrease. Pedestrian fat
alities also showed a decrease of
27.S% under January, 1912. The
State as whole had 42.61o reduc-
ton in fatalities--with 81 for this
month as compared to Sd for Janu-
airy a year ago.
Fourteen Counties experienced a
fatality-free month--Allegany, Cal
vert, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Char
les, Frederick, Howard, Kent, Mont
gomery Queen Anne, Somerset, Tai
bot and Wicomico. Caroline and
Kent Counties had complete acct
dent-free month--no deaths, no in
juries, no accidents; while Calvert,
Queen Anne, Talbot and Wicomico
Counties had no deaths and no in
Juries.
The drop in severity rate is de-
finite proof that the large majority
of drivers have reduced their speed
to 35 miles per hour and under.
The State also experienced drop in
the number of accidents reported
there were TIT less accidents this
month as compared to January,
1942--a 47% decrease--this de-
crease is attributed to the PLEASURE
Driving Ban" plus the reduced
speeds and safer driving habits of
the present day motorist.
Governor O'Conor and the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission and
Cooperating State, City and Civic
Organizations continue to appeal to
all drivers to keep their speeds un-
der IS miles per hour--and, to also
observe the Pleasure Driving Ban"
which went into effect January
7th, at noon. If we, the United Ma
lions, are to be Victorious on the
battle-front--we here on the home
front must do our part in this great
cause by complying with the rules
and regulations set down by our
Government in the furtherance of
the WAR effort. WHAT DO YOU
SAY--LETS ALL GET TOGETHER
AND DO OUR PART, not tomorrow
or next week, but, TODAY.

Farm Youth Of U. S.
Looks to Tomorrow

TOMORROW'S farmers and farm
= homemakers are second to no
school group in their enthusiasm
for investing in War Bonds and
Stamps to make sure their future
is secure. Through the Schools At
War program they are investing
what they save and earn in War
Stamps and Bonds.
First evidence of this is the
amount the All Club boys and girls
and the FLA boys invested in war
savings in 1912 from Victory Pig"
and other projects. A million and a
half All Club members put $6,000,-
600 of their own savings in War
Bonds and Stamps and sold $780,
600 worth of War Savings to their
neighbors. Nearly a, quarter mil
lion members of Future Farmers Of
America invested more than ST.
SOC, 900.
Spurred by the realization that
the financial welfare of farm fami-
lies the next 20 years depends on
how wisely they use today's higher
incomes from increased food and
other wartime production, both
groups have set their goals still
higher for 1913.
These farm youths are building
financial reserves, and urging their
parents to do the same, for after

cial emergencies and to help them

FARM LABOR

Wayne H. barrow, new director
of the Agriculture Labor Admin
stration of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, issued
through the Maryland USDA War
Board this message to Maryland
farmers:
"The farm labor problems divide
themselves roughly into two parts:
that of retaining and replacing full
time skilled help, and that of get
ting short-time seasonal labor for
planting, tending and harvesting
the crops. The first offers the great
est obstacles.
1--WE expect by July / to train
and place $4,000 workers recruited
in less productive areas and trans
ported to more productive farms
and another $4,000 by the end of
1943.
Under the Tydings amendment
to the Selective Service Act 100000
essential men in agriculture have
been deferred from military SER
vice, the reclassifying still contin-
uing ct the rate of $500 per day.
It is estimated 100000 skilled
farmers will be on the deferred list
by January, 1914.
"The High School Victory Farm
Volunteers, the Woman's La d
Army, the Farm Security Admin
stration and the Federal Employ
ment Service have joint goal of 81
100000 extra seasonal workers for
the 1943 harvest"

PLANS TO MOBOLIzE FARM
LABOR

The Department Of Agriculture
has completed program designed
to mobolize more than 100000
workers this year to help farmers
meet increased national require
ments for food and fiber, Secretary
Claude r. Wickard announces. This
program will be in addition to the
War Manpower Commissions pro-
gram to keep on farms the existing
work force of fulltime skilled oper-
ators and hired workers, through
deferment and by stopping migra-
ton from farms to employment in
industry, 1t was stated.
Responsibility for development
and direction of the 1943 farm lab
or program has been placed with the
Agricultural Labor Branch of the
Food Production Administration.
Major John o. Walker is Chief of
he Branch under M. Clifford Town
end, Director of FPA.
The program is designed to fur
nish to farmers three types of
workers;
1. Year-round workers, needed on
livestock, dairy and diversified
farms.
2. Seasonal workers, needed dur
ing the crop season, or for the sum-
mer. In the past many of these have
followed the crops from the South to
the North.
3. Emergency harvest workers,
practically all Of whom will be re-
,ruited from villages, towns, and
cities to work certain number of
week days, half days, week-ends or
evenings. They will be people inspir-
ID by patriotic motives and the de-
| sire to see that local crop Is not
.ost by lack of labor.
A request has been presented by
the President to Congress for funds
to finance this program through the
1913 crop year These funds would
be used to provide transportation
for workers, to operate farm labor
supply centers, and to enable the
Extension Service to employ labor
assistants to handle local recruit
ment and placement.
The 100000 additional work
ers needed will be enlisted in "U.
5. Crop Corps. Membership of this
corps will include the individuals
| and the family groups taking part
in the Departments year-rou
worker and seasonal labor trans
portation programs. 1t will include
men and women of villages, towns,
and cities and non-farm high school
boys and girls who are willing and
able to devote some of their time to
farm work.
Local recruiting campaigns are
| to be started in some areas before
the end of February and such cam
paigns will be under way nationwide
during March, it was stated.
This High School Victory Corps
will aid in recruiting and training
these youths who will form a Vic
tory farm volunteer branch of the
Crop Corps A Women's Land Army
branch of the Crop Corps, composed
of non-farm women interested in
serving regularly as farm workers,
also is to be developed by Extension
Service in cooperation with other
agencies.
County Extension agents, with
volunteer aides, will register Crop
Corps recruits. In this recruiting
campaign, individuals will be asked
to volunteer for specific work at
specific times. The objective will be
to draw on all local sources of labor
before outside help is sought:

in the county courthouse as the
result of the appointment of w. A.

It was said at the courthouse
that, as soon as Mr.. Valdez re-
ceives his commission, any three
of the four commissioned men may

AS matters now stand, there is a
difference existing between Carl
