Show THE FRESS-BUL- I JSTIK - one of us, and there is no exception, no, not one, there is a natural ability and competency to mentally work our way out of the wilderness of material beliefs, out of. the net of material selfhood into our natural unity and agreement with ever present good, Mind, the consclousvess which is God, our real life and being. The process is wholly mental, as Paul indicated when he said, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Applying Christian Science. Well, then, how does one begin to apply the teachings of Christian Science? First of all he begins men-tally to resist evil. He follows the Scriptural advice to resist the devil, which his study of Christian Science has taught him is but the counterfeit evil mind which tries to operate through evil thoughts projected into his consciousness, or through the physical senses. He learns to become a sentry at the door of thought and to reject every thought or suggestion which is not good, is not an expres-sion of God, the one real Life, for he has taken his mental stand for what God has made him to be and he is de-termined to assert and prove ' his mental and living unity with the Mind and Life which is God, knowing that it is natural and right for him to do so and that God has endowed him with the ability to do it. A LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE (Member of the Board of Lecture--1 ship of the Mother Church, the First j Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, , Mass.) j Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, was the child of Puritan parents. She grew to womanhood among the hills and vales of New Hampshire the) Granite state possessing a rare per-sonal charm, culture, and affection for the best things of life. She had ever shown an unusual love for the Bible teachings and early in life ac-cepted implicitly its wonderful prom-ises of health. With the years of womanhood came sorrow, separation from dear ones, and prolonged illness. From every trial she turned the more resolutely in search of that certain law of healing which she believed a correct understanding of God would bring. In this search the theories of allopathy, or regular medicine, were explored in vain, then homeopathy, a step away from mere drugs toward a more mental form of healing, and afterward hydropathy. Mrs. Eddy recognized after years of investigation and experiment that this certain law of healing was not to be found in any of the accepted systems, and she then turned away from the material and human to the spiritual and divine. It was in 1866 that Mrs. Eddy over-came a serious injury through reli-ance on spiritual, as wholly apart from material, law and became con-vinced of the present availability of this law for suffering humanity. For three years thereafter she studied the Scriptures most diligently and from them derived a fuller unierstandlng of this spiritual law of life and Its ap-plicability to every need of men. The results of these and the preceding years of consecrated study and re-search; were given to the world in 1875 through the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the' Scriptures," which has be-come, next to the Bible on which it is founded, the most widely read book in the Christian world. Clara Barton, founder of the Amer-ican Red Cross, wrote of Mrs. Eddy with profound admiration. "Love," she says, "permeates all the teachings of this great woman so great, I be-lieve, that at this perspective we can scarcely realize how great and look-ing into her life history we see noth-ing but and selflessness. Mrs. Eddy should have the respect, admiration and love of the whole na-tion, for she is its greatest woman." Cause and Effect. A great statesman has recently said that the work of uniting the nations in the bonds of brotherhood is an ef-fort to enthrone the conscience of the world.. What is this conscience of the world that we are so desirous of en-throning as our lawgiver? Is it not the collective or common conscious-ness, of right, of Justice, law, and love? It is this universal conscience, the common consciousness of right and good, discerned as yet 'but dimly, yet discerned .and obeyed in an ever increasing measure, which in its full unfoldment is "God with us," the Mind of absolute good. It is the house of the Lord and, in the thought of the prophet, all the nations of the earth are mentally flowing into it Job dis-cerned, this incorporeal and unlimited sense of God and spoke of God as being in one Mind. Christ Jesus spoke of this parent intelligence as Father and Spirit. John regarding the kind-ness, mercy, and protection of the Father Mind spoke of Him as Love. "God is Love; and he that dwelleth in (thinks in ideas of) love dwelleth in God, and God in him" (I John 4:16). Healing. The real meaning of the word heal is to make whole, to restore to original integrity. Christian 'Science alone among the healing agencies of the present day accepts this .word at its full meaning. Christian Science not only heals the mental or physical dis-order but sets in motion those processes of thought which result in-evitably In the restoration of man to his original integrity as the individual expression of God. Only forty years ago the first Chris-tian Science church was organized in Boston. Since then nearly eighteen hundred organizations have been formed throughout the world. A pub-lishing society employing more than seven hundred people is supplying the ever increasing demand for literature explaining the teachings of Christian Science. Christian Science is offering to the world today a volume of testi-mony as to the efficacy of its healing work unexcelled in the history of therapeutic systems. From business men, educators, lawyers, judges, physicians, ministers, and men and women of all trades and classes it is offering evidence of health and happi-ness restored to the Individual. These testimonies may be heard in the Wed-nesday evening meetings of the church or read in The Christian Science Journal, the Christian Science Sentinel, or the Herald which is pub-lished in French and German. Prayer. It has already been pointed out that the practice of Christian Science in-volves mental activity, an effort to think In accord with God, the good Mind. This right mental activity is true prayer and is the one way by which individual man can cast off the shades of hell and abide In heaven. The Bible admonition, "Pray without ceasing," is then seen to mean to think rightly always. It is right mental activity based on a true con-cept of God and man. This is true prayer, a vital, living, thinking, activ-ity. It is all a mental process. Every in-dividual must sooner or later, here or hereafter, learn to pray aright, for only in this way does he learn to live aright. When one really discerns what true prayer Is, his prejudices give "way and he perceives it to be the highest Joy and privilege of man, for it is the asserting in thought and life of his natural unity with God. The Bible and Science and Health. The Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary I Baker Eddy, the Christian Science textbook, are to the Christian Scientist the statute books of life. From them he learns the truth that is science, religion, and medicine. Who can hope to solve the problem of life while dis-regarding the teachings and laws set forth by those who have most clearly perceived the primal facts of being, including the great Way-showe- r who overthrew the claims of incurable dis-ease and of death with the understand-ing of spiritual law. Merely to believe that Christ Jesus once lived on earth gets one no nearer heaven than to be-lieve in the personal existence of Christopher Columbus. It is the under standing of his teachings and his methods that saves. The Bible states. Science and Health amplifies and clarifies, the teachings of spiritual law. Man the Expression of Mind. But we only know Mind as we know the ideas which express It and the highest of these is man. The world is coming to honor and to recognize the mental man, that state of conscious-ness which most clearly expresses the 'deaa cf the true Mind or God. Mrs. Kddy has given an illuminating defini-tion of man in Science and Health (p. 475),. where she says "He is the com-pound idea of God, Including all right ideas." Consider if you will why It Is that the world has recently so honored a small group of forward looking states-men the peace delegates at Paris. It is not because of anything physical, their weight, their features, or the color of their hair. The material is wholly subordinated. What men honor In them Is the mental man, the Individual state of consciousness which express right ideas. In the pro-portion that they have, voiced what is right they bave struck a responsive chord in the minds of men every-where, for their brothers are perceiv-ing, though yet darkly, the truer sense of manhood and honoring It. This is In its full unfoldment the spiritual man, the expression of God, best exemplified by Christ Jesus. Man, then, see atf the creature of Mind, is recognized to be simply an Individual state of always thinking In accord with God, the true Mind. He is "the compound idea of God, including all right ideas" (Science and Health, p. 475). Mortal Concept of Man Refuted by the Bible. Isaiah sought to turn the thought of his people away from this erroneous mortal concept of man with the ad-monition, "Cease ye from man, whose breath is In his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isaiah 2:22). In other words, stop thinking of the mortal, material senRe of man as the true man, for there is abso-lutely no way to account for him as a creature of God. In Romans 9:8 Paul makes the perfectly explicit statement, "They which are the chil-dren of the flesh, these are not the children of God," and elsewhere he speaks of the imperative necessity to "put off . . . the old man, which is corrupt . . . and . . . put on the new man, which after God Is created In righteousness" (Ephesians 4:22-24- Christian Science not only presents the true concept of man but shows that It Is attainable In some consider-able measure right here and right now.

INCLINED TO TAKE CHANCE Curious Traits In Human Nature Have Made Possible Growth and Devel-opment of the Great Mail Order .Houses. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) A curious trait in human, nature makes itself apparent very frequently. That is an inclination to trust In the unknown rather than ia that with which one is familiar. A person is very apt to take a chance, even though he may know that the odds are 100 to one against him, instead of being satis-fle-d with lesser rewards about which there Is no possibility of doubt. It Is, possibly, the flaring up of the ever-prese- gambling instinct but there is something more in it than that. There Is in it the unexplained ten-dency on the part of most people to reach for the chimerical and ignore the tangible and substantial thing which is near at hand. Man Is sel-dom satisfied with those things that are within his grasp but is reaching always for the unattainable. Too of-ten, he loses that which he might eas-ily gain by blindly pursuing that which is always Just out of his reach. Why "Con" Man Thrives. Coupled, in a way, with his faith In the unknown is the tendency on the part of so many people to place con-fidence. In a stranger in preference to one who is known and has been tried and proven. It Is this tendency which makes possible the operations of the "con" man, the artist, the unscrupulous promoter and the salesman of worthless mining stocks. The man who would not think of trusting Bill Jones, his 'next-doo- r neighbor and fellow church member, will confidingly turn over his life's savings to a stranger who unfolds a tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones might talk his head off in behalf of a legitimate proposition without getting a dollar where the slick stranger with the worthless proposition can get thou-sands. It is these two tendencies which, ap-parently, are so widely prevalent among all classes of people that have made possible the success of the great mail order houses in the big cities. A knowledge of psychology Is as im-portant to the mail order man as a knowledge of business practices. He plays upon these tendencies of man to take a chance, to trust in the un-known rather than the known, to place confidence In the stranger rather than the friend.

Those who buy merchandise from a mall order bouse are moved partly, whether they realize it or not, by that trait In their nature which prompts them to trust in the unknown rather than In that with which they are fa-miliar. They are hoping, it may be un-consciously, that they will draw n prize. They do not know whut they will get, for it is impossible for one to know what he is going to get when he or-ders merchandise from a picture and a highly colored description In a cata-logue. Pie Is taking a chniice on the unknown. Buying merchandise from the local merchant, on the other hand, contains" none of these elements of chance that enter into the dealings with the mall order house. When one buys a stove from the hardware store In his home town, he may get none of the thrills that come from taking a chance but he will get a stove that will last longer und keep hlra warmer thnn the one that he might get from the mail order house and to the avertige individual, these things are likely to be more im-portant than the thrills. NO. 11631. Treasury Department, Office of Comp-troller of the Currency, Washington, D. C, March 5, 1920. Whereas, By satisfactory evidence presented to the undersigned, It has been made to appear that "The First National Bank of Bingham Canyon," in the town of Bingham Canyon in the County of Salt Lake and State of Utah has complied with all the provi-sions of the statutes of the United States, required to be complied with before an association shall be author-ized to commence the business of banking. I Now, therefore, I, Thomas P. Kane, acting comptroller of the currency, do hereby certify that "The First Na-tional Bank of Bingham Canyon," in the town of Bingham Canyon, in the County of Salt Lake and State of Utah is authorized to commence the busi-ness of banking, as provided in Sec-tion Fifty-on- e hundred and sixty-nin- e of the Revised Statutes of the United States.

When you buy from the local mer-chant you see the thing that you are buying, you Inspect It carefully, ex-amine the workmnnship and the qual-ity of the material of which It Is made and In many cases you hiive the privi-lege of testing it before paying for it. You heve not only your own eyes and knowledge of values to rely upon but you have the advantnge of the advice of the merchant who has an expert knowledge of the merchandise which he is selling and who, In 99 cases out of 100, can be rellod upon to tell the truth about It. Then you have the gunruntee that Is backed not only by the retail merchant, but In mnny cases by the manufacturer. If the article which you buy does not prove satisfac-tory after it is given a 'fair test, you fan take It back to the store where you bought It, In most cases, nnd get your money back. The retailer may get his money back from the manu-facturer but If he doesn't, he stands the loss. In any event, you are pro-tected. Why a person will place his confl-.denc- e In a stranger rather than a friend or will trust in the unknown rather than In that which Is tangible, Is something that Is hard to under-stand. Even the mall order house does not pretend to know why It Is so but It accepts conditions as it finds them and makes the roost of the oppor-tunities that they offer.
