Approximately 200 #dditional mem- bers were secured for the Washington branch of the American Association of University Women, whose special mem- bership campaign has just ended. The official count has not been completed, the estimate being based on the en- rollment of 160 members the day be- fore the drive closed. . Mrs. O. L. Veerhoff, president of the Washington branch, in a statement said that “a 20 per cent gain in mem- bership in a period of a week is some- thing we can all be proud of. But we are prouder still .of the type of young college graduates that have joined our standard and taken advantage of the remission of initiation fees as a con- cession to the financial stringency faced by many individuals at this time. “This acquisition of strength to the ‘Washington group places us on a par with the strongest University Women units in the country.” The national organization is en- deavoring to reach a goal of 50,000 members next year, the fiftieth anniver- sary of the founding of the association.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IDEA OF MAN STATED Lecture Heard by Large Audience in Constitution Hall—Albert F. Gilmore Is Speaker. A lecture on “Christian Science: The Revelation of the Perfect Man” was de- livered yesterday afternoon to a large crowd in Constitution Hall by Albert F. Gilmore, C. S. B, of Boston, Mass. Mr. Gilmore is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. He was introduced by Clarke F. Hunn, first reader of Third Church. ‘This lecture was under the auspices of First, Second, Third and Fourth Churches of Christ, Scientist, of this city. The lecturer said, in part: “When viewed from a material basis alone, human existence is blank and intolerable. But thanks be to God, the Father, the curtain has been lifted, the dark clouds have been rolled away and the eternal peaks of everlasting life stand revealed, white and glistering be- fore our entranced gaze, beautiful be- yond our dearest imaginings, radiant beyond our highest expectancy. Through divine revelation there unfolds to us what Mrs. Eddy has described in the Christian Science text book, ‘Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures’ (p. 264), as ‘all the glories of earth and heaven and man’; the beauty of holiness, of being in its primal and everlasting grandeur. “It is of this life, the true life; of this man, the real, the only man, that we are privileged to learn through rea- son and revelation, as set forth in Christian Science. Through the study of divine science alone can we lay hold of the truth about man as he really is, of man as the veritable son of God, of truth about ourselves. “The fullest definition of man given in consecutive statement appears on page 475 of ‘Science and Health,’ a defi- nition so complete as to constitute a description. Let us examine it. In re- sponse to the question, ‘What is man?’ it is stated, first of all, what man is not. ‘Man is not matter, he is not made up of brain, blood, bones and —_——————— Vest Pocket =7 Kodaks, $5.00 up "} 2x3, Kodaks y # $10.00 up COLUMBIA PHOTO SUPPLY 1424 New York Ave. N.W.

Why? Since God is Spirit, infinite Spirit, His like- ness must be spiritual. How completely and logically does Mrs. Eddy base her argument = upon scriptural = authority. The Scriptures say so, hence it must be true. To this devoted disciple of truth scriptural authority is the highest. “It is further stated, ‘Man is spiritual and perfect; and because he is spiritual and perfect, he must be so understood in Christian Science’ (ibid., p. 475). In these words man’s spirituality and per- fection are conjoined. His spirituality connotes perfection, because the like- ness of Spirit can possess no quality or (lfior'}lmlkeh‘sblr}:.
