"Christian Scientists find it difficult
to write or speak of the textbook In
ordinary or conservative estimates,
because the volume is so much more to
them than mere book. Hosts OF
people have been healed and are daily
being healed of all types Of diseases
and difficulty by reading and studying
the textbook. This book is not a
Christian Science Bible as some critics
have said, nor does it in any way take
the place of the use and study by them
of the Holy Scriptures.
"The Bible and the textbook are
read and studied together. The Bible
is the great book of authority from on
high and the textbook is the key to
the Scriptures making plain in many
instances the lost or hidden spiritual
truths of the Bible by it's logical in
sistence that God must be interpreted
according to His true nature, and not
in accord with material assumptions
concerning Deity"
God
The lecturer spoke at length about
how Christian Science is helping men
and women to a correct knowledge OF
God. He said:
.'When the reader is first made ac
quainted with the use of seven syno-
nyms for God--Love, Life, Truth,
Soul, Mind, Spirit, Princip}e-it may
be startling to his accustomed manner
of thought, and he may have to do
considerable thinking or reading in
the Bible to be able to be reconciled
to this forcible statement of what God
is. The average student of the Bible,
however, will have little or no diff
Guilty upon reflection to adjust his
thinking to this modern statement of
what God is in the use of the seven
synonyms. This scientific interpreted
ton of God clothes Deity at once with
all possible good, with all possible in
telligence, with all possible life, with
all possible perfection, and leads to
the adoption of three further terms to
describe Deity, omnipotent, omnis-
cient, omnipresent."
Then it was said that sin, sickness,
suffering, and death could not be the
work of God.
"The dark pictures of sickness, sin,
suffering, accidents, failure, death,
will fail in the universal realization
of Gods intelligent and perfect work.
Mankind will then have taken long
step toward the attainment of health
and holiness through the logical de-
duction stated in the Christian Sci
.ence textbook (p. 46S): AN is infinite
Mind and its infinite manifestation,
for God is All-in-all. The fact of
Gods omnipresence held by human
beings will largely lift them out of
the realm Of fear and uncertainty, for
one could scarcely contemplate mis-
hap or misfortune in the presence of
Deity. When men more generally
come to see, in the light Of Christian
Science, that God is divine Principle,
it will greatly reduce in mankind that
too common fault of self-depreciation,
or inferiority complex, as mans like
ness to God would then bring him in
to the realm of ofderliness and per-
lection"

Spots, Stains Removed
Without Scraping Floor

Spots and stains similar to water
stains may be removed from an oak
floor without going to the trouble and
expense of scraping the entire floor.
Wax can be removed with turpen-
tine, cleaning the wax down to the
bare wood, if the floor has not been
vanished, and then rewaxing the
bare spots. If the stains are in the
wood itself, the spots should be treat
ed with solution of oxalic acid after
the removal of the wax. After per-
hitting the acid to stand over night,
all traces of it should be washed
away, and the floor rewaxed. If the
floor has been vanished and waxed,
the wax should first be wiped off
with turpentine, and if the stain ex-
tended through the varnish, the var
nish should be removed with good
varnish remover, after which the
stain, if it has extended into the
wood itself, can be given the oxalic
acid treatment, with the acid thor
oughly washed off afterwards, the
same as in the case of an unvar-
nished floor, and then revarnished
and rewaxed. If pores are apparent
in the wood, coat of wood filler
should be put on and allowed to dry
thoroughly before the application of
the varnish. In most cases, the best
results are achieved by cleaning off
and refinishing the entire floor board
to its ends and edges, rather than
by combining the job to the stained
spots, for in this way much more
uniform result will be obtained.

vague and confused views that are en-
tertained by many people concerning
God: and he spoke of the Importance
of a clear and understandable knowl-
edge of God, such as is taught IN
Christian Science.
The DiscOverer and Founder
He told how Mary Baker Eddy, the
Discoverer and Founder of Christian
Science. labored to attain true ana
movable concept of God and how that
truth could be used practically. tie
said:
sIike the great Master, the Dis
coyerer and Founder of Christian Sci
ence offers to the world proof OF It's
truth and it's power in the works that
are done in Christian Science. First
came her own healing through adher-
ING to Jesus practical teaching in the
acknowledgment of Gods presence
and power; then helping and inspiring
others to a like adherence and ack-
nowledgment, she found them healed.
Thus began, simple and little heralded,
the Christian Science movement,
which, by the force of its astounding
success through the decades, has
spread itself effectively throughout
the Christian world.
"Mrs. Eddy will undoubtedly go
down in history as having re-estab-
lished the practice of spiritual healing
in the church, and as an essential ac-
commandment of religious activity,
such as it was in the church OF the
early Christian era"
The Christian Science Textbook
The speaker said that the textbook
Of Christian Science is book that APP
peals to thinkers; and that it is not a
Bible, but is to be studied with the
Bible.
"The textbook of Christian Science
he explained, "is not only readable
from literary and intellectual stand
point, but the intelligent reader quick
ly realizes that it is dealing constant
" with questions, subjects, conditions,
and prospects in way that appeals to
the thinker as well as to the sincere
religionist.

Army mules are still being used,

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-02

spoke at meeting of the American Farm
Bureau Federation this week and he said
it was up to the National Administration
to make drastic changes" in order to
clear up "this muddle of uncontrolled
food prices, local famines, profiteering,
black markets and stifled farm produc-
ton"
Washington has been entertaining
doubts about the success of the double
headed Administration of the Agricul-
tural Department, operated by Mr.. Wick
ard as Cabinet Secretary, and Chester C.
Davis as Food Administrator The former
President apparently approves putting
the two jobs under one head, and he Sc
lects Davis to replace Wickard. A lot of
people will disagree with that choice. 1t
seems to be the only point on which
Roosevelt and Hoover agree. Wickard is
first-class farmer and he knows his pota-
toes, grains, cottons and Soybeans. He
may be little slow on learning political
tricks but he has plenty of what might
be called farm and horse sense. He is
neither New Dealer nor a Republican
and maybe that counts against him.
The whole question seems to create
division over whether the United States
will agree with the Hot Springs Inter
nationalist and the President of the
United States who wants to make sort
of Willkie Zone World job out of feed
ing the hungry world or, doing the job
single-handed the way Hoover did when
he was Food Administrator for the United
States A few months ago Herbert
Lehman resigned as Governor of New York
State to take this same important job.
He hasn't been prominent in the picture
the last three or four months.

Food for a Hungry World

The food conference held by the United
Nations at Hot Springs, Virginia, was
called complete success by President
Roosevelt. The Conference agreed that
the world has never yet produced enough
porper food for all its people but it ex-
pressed confidence that full production
needs could be met through the simple
process of better. use of the land that God
left for human beings to work and cult
vate. The Conference went a-dreaming
over theories about exploitation, political
aggrandisement, tariff walls, interna-
tional currency - and other things that
the United States eventually would have
to pay for.
Herbert Hoover was successful admin
iStrator of food in World War I, but the
wise men of this administration never
ask him for good advice. Mr.. Hoover

The CDVO Is Calling For Help

During the next few days in this city it
is hoped to secure 1000 additional vol
unteer workers in Civilian Defense. At
the present time the active membership
Of the CDVO is 5000 members. The
accelerated drive is expected to recruit
workers who will give of their time to
help promote the activities necessary to
carry on in home front aid.
Perhaps this is a good time to secure
volunteer help. 1t should be at any rate
with students home for the summer va
cation, and teachers released from their
school duties At this time many of
these expect to take up summer work,
in the war plants especially. But there
are Just as many who will not go into this
sort of work, but who should be glad to
assist as volunteers for the summer
months, at any rate.
There is a variety of work offered such
as athletic instructors, block leaders,
child care aides, canteen workers, war
bond and stamp saleswomen and sales
men, recreational and group leadership
and many other types of service College
students should find much of the sug
gested work in line with their course of
study at college and university.
This summer there will be less vaca-
tioning because of existing conditions
and those who stay at home might find
it congenial if not most helpful to sub
scribe to volunteer work for a time. 1t
is suggestion worth considering,

Dissenting Opinion

The dissenting opinion of Chief Justice
Stone in the Schneiderman case is so
convincing that no one can wonder at
the concurrence of Justices Roberts and
Frankfurter. The puzzle, after reading
all OF the opinions, is how the other five
justices minds worked to reject Justice
Stones logic and decide that Schneider
man is entitled to citizenship Justice
Stones reasoning fills 81 printed pages,
but the gist of it can be summarized quite
briefly. When Schneiderman was natur-
allied, in 1927, he had been for six years
an active Communist Party worker. Dur
ing much of that time he had been an
educational director, teaching Stalinist
doctrine. The party doctrine included
advocacy of armed revolution "by means
of rifles, bayonets, cannon" to enforce
and maintain the supremacy of "the con-
quering party"
1.-THE proletariat must resort to an
armed uprising" said the Statutes Theses
and Conditions of Admission to the Com
munist international during the period
when Schneiderman was an educational
director for the party The naturalization
law requires that applicants, for five years
preceding naturalization, shall have
demonstrated attachment to the princi-
Piles of the Constitution of this country.
Justice Stone assumes, and surely no
body will challenge, that the principles
of our Constitution at least include free
dom of speech, of the press, the privileges
of life, liberty and property, the right to
representative government, the duty to
obey Constitutional laws. All of these the
Communist Party, at the time when
Schneiderman worked in and for it and
became an American citizen by naturali-
zation, denied, worked against and said
must be destroyed by proletarian resort
to armed uprising. How, Justice Stone
wonders, could any man exhibit attach
ment to the principles OF the Constitution
and at the same time teach, as vocation
and avocation, the doctrine that those
principles must be destroyed?
He rejects utterly the opinion of Justice
Douglas that, once court in an ex parte
proceeding has assumed, for lack of con-
trary evidence, and applicants adherence
to American principles, thereafter there
can be no question of error. No wonder
the other five justices had to write three
opinions, among them, to explain their
rejection of Justice Stones compelling
dissent.

automobiles still are exceeding the war;

states showed averages as high as At miles
an hour, which is very hard on tires that
cannot be replaced for some time to
come.
The Public Roads Administration of
the F'WA reminds such sloppy drivers
that tires wear out half again as fast at
As miles an hour as at 35. AS the PRA
puts it, tires that would wear out in
10000 miles at As miles an hour would
give nearly $4,000 miles of service at 35
miles an hour

Wherever possible it is urged by the
governor of the state to take the custom
airy vacation. Relaxation is necessary as
well as recreation for all. This is sound
advice The individual needs recreation
and rest afforded at country and shore
resorts. 1t may be more difficult to get
to places this summer due to poor trans
portation, crowded trains, and so on, but
what is offered in the way of hotel, inn
and summer boarding house service
should be enjoyed by those who still feel,
and rightfully, that they have vacation
coming to them.

against this and other garden pests. The
beetle goes for some of the fancies such
as roses, althea, and other Towering
shrubs, but it also strikes at the vege-
tables, corn, for instance. Up until now
