:. big Negro who belonged to the whites
was MORALLY wounded.
The Negro was placed under a
large shelving rock, his comrades in
tending to carry him along back upon
their return, but when they returned
the following night they were so
hard-pressed by the Indians that they
had to leave the poor Negro to his
fate, while he was still alive and
grooming. Browning said this occurr-
ed on the Braddock road and he had
the account from the mouth of a
member of the expedition
Browning was born in 1871 and
passed all his long life on, or not
very far from the old Braddock road
and was thoroughly familiar with the
history and traditions pertaining to
| that old thoroughfare and, says Mr..
! Miller, his account seems to be more
worthy of credence than any of the
other accounts which | have heard or
read"
Mr.. Miller concludes: Il might add
in passing that the old Braddock
Road, now known as the old National
Pike, was a thoroughfare long before
the coming of the white man. This
was an old Indian trail, known as
'Nemacolin's Old Trail, so named
after the friendly chief who recomm-
dcd this trail to Washington to be
the best route to reach the forks of
the Ohio from Wills Creek
"And the fact that this trail, with
only minor deviations, was chosen in
! turn by Washington, Gen. Braddock.
the government engineers in building
a National highway and again by the
engineers of the State of Maryland
in building a modern macadam and
concrete road, should entitle the un-
known and untutorcd savage who
first selected this route through the
mountains, in most difficult region,
to place in the ranks of the great
est engineers of history"

SO far they had encountered no
Indians and were not molestcd by
them until they started on their re-

considerable party. Just where the
attack began tradition is silent, other
than it was at point on what is
known as Negro mountain in Somer-

were forced to retreat toward Fort
Cumberland
According to tradition, there was
with Capt. Friend and party Negro
servant of the captain, of gigantic
size and great bravery. Like all of
the party he was we'll armed and nc
member displayed greater bravery in
repelling Indian attacks. Exposing
himself somewhat recklessly late in
the evening, he received a mortal
wound. Where he fell was at a con-
siderable distance up the mountain
He saw his comrades could not carry
him off with them and he urged tC
be left where he was lying and they
continue their retreat
Capt. Friend was determined tc
stay with him. Another man, whose
life Friend had saved on a previous
occasion, volunteered to remain. Dur.

ment. When these false beliefs had been

compassion and c-haritableness. the
malady was overcome, and was gone for
ever.
How Healing Comes
In the Christian Science textbook we
read opp. 2Os, 2O9) Mind. not matter.
is causation. A material body only ex-
presses a material and mortal mind.
It Is the mortal belief which makes the
body d%iscordant and diseased in propor-
ton as ignorance, fear, or human will
governs mortals." The human mind has
made unceasing efforts to answer this
agelong riddle, How does animate think
ing affect inanimate matter? In Chris
tan Science the answer is readily at
hand, and is simple, logical, and con-
Vlnclng. The human body is a human
concept, or the embodiment of human
beliefs. No clear thinker believes that
the human body is the immortal iden-
tity of man. He comedies that sometime
it is going to be laid off. Eventually
everyone will have to put off the old
man with his deeds, and put on the
new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness How is
this to be done? In another verse in the
Montana labor news., 1944-06-08

others do what we would have them do,
but to exercise our dominion to find out
and follow what God would have us do.
The aviators who faithfully follows his
directions can come to a safe landing
even in the midst Of a dense fog. The
fogs of doubt and confusion are quickly
dispelled when human will and personal
domination are laid aside and we ear
nestly and lovingly follow the way of
Gods appointing.
True Law Brings Freedom
Nothing brings us a greater freedom,
dominion, and true power than love; not
a love that is personal, selfish, possess
sive, and material, but the love which
Christian Science teaches its followers.
It is that love which is pure, impersonal,
broad, unselfish. and universal. True
love reflects divine Love; crosses the
boundary Of mere personal attachment;
uplifts, but never crushes; is expansive,
but never possessive. This was the love
that Jesus brought to the world. This
immaculate love does not dominate, con-
troll, or tyrannize over the object of its
love. It does not monopolize, but is
generous, bestowing, and healing. This
love comes from infinite Soul and, when
embodied in human consciousness, brings
true joy and restores lost Eden. It does
not cling to some person, but clings to
God, and earnestly strives to reflect the
%graciousness of His grace. Christian Sci
ence does not decry human affection,
but purifies it, uplifts it, takes away
the dross of materially, and brings forth
the gold Of pure spiritually.
What a JOY it is when We return from
a trip to share with others the beautiful
views which we have secured on our
journey To secure these beautiful views
we must have a camera with a clear
lens and a proper focusing attachment.
If the lens has a flaw in it. or the camera
is not properly focused, we obtain an
imperfect picture, a distorted and per-
verted concept of that which God has
created-the perfect, Immaculate, holy,
healthy, and good. AS our thought is
permeated with love, we look through
the lens of love; we see the loveliness
of Gods reation, the lovely man that He
has made. We have heard a great deal
Montana labor news., 1944-06-08

lately about the candid camera. The
word candid means pure, clear, i'm
maculate." God is infinite Love, the
only creator. the author of all that is
real and eternal. AS our thought is per-
meated with holy, spiritual love. we see
Cod and His creation-the grand, the
beautiful, and true. The camera OF our
thinking records the lovely the true,
the harmonious and fair.
Gratitude
St. John stated it thus we shall be
like him; for we shall see him as he is"
and Il Leader has given us this price
less gem Of Truth. What is gratitude
but a powerful camera obscura. a thing
focusing light where love, memory. and
all within the human heart is present

of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany. D..

love and we are grateful for it, we sec
and record health, not disease: the pure.
not the impure; the perfect, not the i'm
perfect; the true, not the false; the real,
not the unreal. This is healing in its
very highest sense. The ordinary con-
cept Of healing is the restoring of bodily
health, but this is a restricted concept
of that term. ITO heal means TO re-
store to original purity and integrity. "
The Science Of Love enables us to see
in his original purity and perfec-
ton, and then healing follows as surely
as the dawn brings the light. Freedom
then reigns; dominion is gained; the
diseased and discordant disappear.
I once knew a man who was afflicted
with a painful disease for which, from
a material standpoint, there was no cure.
This disease involved a sense of irrita-
ton and inflammation. After he had
become a student of Christian Science
and had learned something of the effect
of thought upon the body, he analysed
his thinking to ascertain the basic cause
of his difficulty. He uncovered irrati-
bility, Impotence, intolerance, criticism,
