Youngsters returning from school in the afternoon are apt to play in the vicinity of the crossing at a time when the tracks are very busy with moving cars. No watchman is kept at this point by the railway or other interested body, and sooner or later a very serious accident will ensue, unless a change is made, Realizing this menace to safety, both the Village Council and Board of Trade have made representations to the C.P.

Hill, C.S. of Clinton, Tlinois Member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The lecturer spoke in substance as follows: There is a substantial conviction in the thoughts of normal individuals that it is right to be healthy and to be happy; and human endeavor is very largely directed toward the attain- ment of these desirable ends. The basic foundation upon which government rests, is the fact that 8 i with the right 250 lineal feet of sidewalk, from DesMazes’ corner to the Wea- therby store, was considered and filed. The bid was $312 for the concrete work. It was decided to have the Roberts spring diverted into the village reser- voir, Auxiliary To Legion Suggested Proposal to form a ladies’ auxiliary to the Canadian Legion was discussed at a social meeting of the organization held last Thursday in the Parish Hall.

It will be discovered that great masses are not successfully en- gaged in the pursuit of happiness. The amazing fact is the discovery that these individuals have not been deprived of their natural, sacred rights through “due process of law.’ These distressing penalties are self- imposed through erroneous thinking; and they have utterly failed to dis- cover that obedience to the funda- mental order of right thinking will establish and insure the enjoyment of these rights.

FUTURE YEARS ‘eS OF THIS PRO- ant things In human expert yi e- ing accustomed to finding these con- ditions, the obstacles seem apparent- ly insurmountable, and these Individ- uals conclude that there is no ayail- able remedy, hence they endure them. Some months ago I was a passenger on a railway train enroute to a large city. As we approached the terminal station the train very suddenly and cussing the methods of removal, you may be assured that the obstacle was still there. At this time a little news- boy with a large bundle of eyening papers appeared. As he approached the truck one of the men observing his interest in it said: “Well, I sup- pose you can tell us just how to re- move this truck.” He smiled, and at once replied, “Let me think a minute, May be I can tell you how to move it.” The man looked at him in amazement and replide: “Think. What does your thinking have to do with removing that big truck?” The little newsboy had observed that the motor within the truck was silent. He turned his attention away from the obstacle and began to look about. While thus en- gaged he discovered a large switch engine on an adjacent track about three hundred yards away. In an in- stant he exclaimed: “Yes, I can tell you how to move it. Back that big engine up to the rear of the truck and hook on those two big chains, and she will pull the truck out of your way in a jiffy.” His recommendation Confectionery, Ice Cream Fruits, Smokers’ Supplies Magazines, Daily Papers ° Candi Jubilee “33 E.

It had been there all the time. Not one individual had looked away from the truck; and consequently no one had discovered the remedy at hand. Did the think- ing of that little newsboy have any- thing to do with the removal of the truck? Had it not been for the think- ing of some indiyidual the truck would, have been on the track at this very moment. Hence, there is but one reply,—the thinking of that little boy was the prime factor in removing that obstacle. There are many distressing human experiences impeding progress and Preventing the enjoyment of man’s natural rights, just as the truck Im- peded the normal progress of the train into the terminal station, Just as the truck could be removed through right thinking, so it has been discovered that all through the ages there has been, and now is, an ef- ficient and effectual remedy for ey- ery human need. To this age that remedy has been restored and pfe- sented through the revelation of Christian Science as the unfoldment of the basic laws of life, liberty and happiness, THE BIBLE. THE TEXT BOOK. I am quite sure it will be agreed that if Christian Science is a revela- tion, then, of necessity, it must have its foundation grounded and estab lished in Bible authority. Hence, as a requisite to the understanding and practice of Christian Science, it must be Yecognized and accepted that its teachings are based fundamentally upon the Bible; and that the King James yersion of the New and of the Old Testaments is recognized and used in all Christian Science services Through the study of this version of the Bible, Mary Baker Eddy received her inspired revelation. She gave to the world her discovery, and founded and established the Christian Science movement. There are many intelligent people who have never Investigated the sub- ject of Christian Science; and at times one hears this expression: “Christian Scientists talk a great deal about a Discoverer and Founder, Who is that Discoverer? What was discovered? What was founded?" The answer to all of these queries is simple, An intelligent, devout, Christian woman, Mary Baker Eddy, is the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Barly in childhood she became deeply religious and was an efficient and progressive student of the Bible. Through an earnest study and research of the Scriptures she proved that perfect trust and con- fidence in God's laws are followed by fixed and absolute results. She fur- thermore proved that God governs His universe, including man, through infinite intelligence; and that infinite intelligence constitutes and embraces absolute law. She likewise proved that absolute law is immutable, (un- unexpectedly stopped. Upon gation it was discovered that a truck was disabled directly in of our train and was standing the track. After some little time Passengers alighted from the tr and began to examine the truck. 1 majority of them formulated opinions as to the best method to be employe in its removal; and they were qu willing to give these opinions and their advice to those engaged in the task of its removal, After all th spent in examining the’ truck, and di changeable), and that ityean be und = F = ipplied; ani CC! he in stood and intelligently When understood and a Diled, absolute law nated and termed, “natural” o man” law, During her investigation anc : search, an injury caused by dent led her to apply these immutable laws to her then app ly helpless condition; and through her id the ani Plication of these laws she Was healed. Through this experience she had proved for herself that Go laws are immutable, available and ¢ erative. She discovered the laws of Life, ‘Truth and Love f (Science & Health, p. 107,) and she 4 named that discoverey Christian Science. ~ After her discovery and healing wrote and published a book, "Scien People believe that Christian e tists regard this book as the Bibl and that they substitute it for thé Bible. This belief is unfounded an untrue. The Christian Science | « book {s not the Bible nor a substitute z for it.
