Scientists Present Challenge in Sunday Discourse Hosea 1:7 provided the Golden Text for the Lesson-Sermon on "Matter" at all authorized Chris tian Science Churches on Sunday, September 20. It reads, "I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their' God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, not by horsemen." Correlative passages, from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy Ed-dy included in this Lesson-Sermon read, "Belief in a material basis, from which may be deduced all rationality, is slowly yielding to the idea of a metaphysical basis, looking away from matter to Mind as the cause of every effect" ef-fect" (p. 268). Continuing, this author writes, "The theories I combat are these: (1) that all is matter; (2) that matter originates in Mind, and is as real as Mind, possessing intelligence intel-ligence and life. The first theory, that matter is everything, is quite as reasonable as the second, that Mind and matter coexist and cooperate. co-operate. One only of the following follow-ing statements can be true: (1) that everything is matter; (2) that everything is Mind. Which one is it? (p. 269).

Utah Solon Sends Editorial "Land Dear Editor: Your recent editorial "Land of Rising Fevers?" interested me. It's always difficult to kiow how one should react to publicity given to the church and the state by those who write for popular magazines. If we let our skins get too thin, then we get no more publicity which is a great help to us; if, on the other hand, we -do not defend our principles, then we are no different from anyone else. I think your editorial took a sensible point of view and tied in rather well with my own outlook out-look toward this particulai story which appeared in Holiday magazine. mag-azine. Just for your information, I am enclosing a copy of a letter let-ter that I wrote to the magazine soon after the article appeared. It was my "reaction" to the story upon first reading it. I appreciate very much the use that you make of material that my staff sends to you from time to time and would like to wish you success in your job of publishing the Orem-Geneva Times. . Sincerely, Wallace F. Bennett Miss Margaret McNeilly The Curtis Publishing Company Independence Square Philadelphia 5, Penn. Dear Miss McNeilly: I appreciated your thoughtful- ness in sending me a copy of the new issue of Holiday which has beautiful picture of Bryce Canyon Can-yon on the cover and many other Orem Forum MUSIC FESTIVAL, TALKS HIGHLIGHT STAKE CONFERENCE An inspiring music festival nd addresses by two General nulh- orities highlighted the Sharon LDS Stake conference Sunday at the Scera Theatre. The visiting authorities for "the conference were Elder Matthew Cowley of the Council of Twelve Apostles and Elder Levi Edgar Young, senior president of the First Council of Seventy. Mission ary work at home by example, and abroad was the general theme of the conference. President Philo T.

Mrs. Anderson An-derson also spoke. Music for the session was furnished by the Singing Mothers under the direction direc-tion of Mrs. Melda Hacking. The 2:30 p.m. session was conducted con-ducted by President G. Milton Jameson. Speakers at the meeting meet-ing were Elder Cowley, Elder Young, President Jameson, Pres. Robert J. Olsen and Carl W. To'inson of the high council. The evening session was a nuts- ic festival under the direction of Tom Biggs. Professor Lawrence I Sardoni of the music department of Brigham Young University was guest speaker and stressed the value of choristers giving the history of new songs to be learned. learn-ed.

Reaction to 'Times'' of Rising Fevers" lovely pictures scattered inside, but I was deeply disappointed at the text of the article which accompanied ac-companied the pictures. I can't understand how a magazine mag-azine with Holiday's resources would oublish such an article which is bound to offend most of the people of my state. Ever since I read it, I have been wondering wonder-ing how I might best express my reaction. Today across my desk came a copy of the Deseret News published July 20th which contained con-tained an editorial. I think the editorial puts into words my own reaction to the article, and I am, therefore, attaching a copy of it to this letter. I am at a loss to understand an editorial policy that would turn out an aritcle like this. I don't think there is anothei state in the Union whose citizens you would think of treating in so cavalier a fashion. I know something of Mr. Taylor's background, i can understand his particular slant, but it's difficult for me to understand under-stand your use of his material. Yours very truly, Wallace F.
