Mrs, Ers-! wealth of material available. by LEONARD T. CARNEY, C.S.B., of Beverly Hills, California Member of the Board’of Lecture ship of The Mother Church, The First Church’ of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts » The, lecturer. spoke of, the fact that mankind is searching’ ‘for that which will solve the perplex- ing problems of life. Just a¥\a? business executive seeks ways to eliminate waste, so it is equally wise to seek a scientific know- ledge of your own life, to learn how to overcome waste of energy loss of power, ill-health, dim- inishing ‘happiness, and how to supplant them with joy, health, peace, and progress. Because Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, saw the urgent need of the sick and sinning, she longed to save them from their misery, said Mr. Carney, and she left for all ages an impress of spirituality that causes unnum-| bered hosts to rise up and call her blessed. 4 It is sometimes said, the lec- turer declared, that | Christian Scientists place their textbook above the Bible, but this is not so: The 'textbook exalts the Bible as no ‘other book has done, the lec- turer stated, and students of €hristian Science study the Bible, the authorzied. King James Ver- sion, as they have never studied} it before. Because God'}is /eyerywhere, ‘He’ is properly defined as the All- in-all, the speaker stated. From this we ipéiddive } that ‘there is nothing outside of God, no wis- dom, no intelligence, no presence. no power, no being. In the Christian Science text- book, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy, man is defined as follows (p. 591): “The compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spirit- ual image and likeness of Go the full representation of Mind.’ Without man, God would be in- complete; and man without God could not exist, Mr. Carney si An exalted sense of man is as necessary as an exalted sense of God. An interesting point. in the practice of Christian Science is to impersonalize both good and evil the lecturer continued. Jesu learned how to impersonalize praise;*and this enabled him to impersonalize’: censure as well. All the. good we have, or ever will have, comes from the source of infinite good alone, he said. The speaker explained that the method of healing in Christian Science is that of prayer — the prayer of spiritual understand- ing. Prayer changes nothing real. But it does show what we already have, what unlimited power and intelligence we already possess, and how we may make use of them. Man does not heal, but God does, said Mr. Carney. Man can only realize the Truth, for the Truth is the only physician and healer. Thought recognizes no limita- tion of distance, therefore Christ-| ian Science can be used as a protection for loved ones on the field of battle and for the pros- eprity of our countries under} arms, Mr. Carney affirmed. In concluding, the lecturer said that the purpose of Christian] Science is to present to a world} in need, the practical, operative power of prayer. It shows how our lives may be transformed, he stated, through eliminating the} mental traits and characteristics} which impede our progress in the i home, in society, and jn business. | It also shows how we may aid in directing the course of the na-| tions from darkness to light—and) AN APOLOGY In the issue of Februarv 20, 1946, of The Key West Citizen there was publsned unce: heading, “People’s Forum”, communication addressed to the Editor by Mr. Garland L. Bal- lard complaining of the treatment received at the hands of Mr. Eber- hardt. Fred O. Eberhardt has written the publisher of The Key West Citizen, pointing out inaccuracies in the mentioned communication written by Mr. Ballard to the- editor. Mr: Eberhardt’s letter to the ‘publisher, under date of Febru- fary 21, 1946, stating the facts of the matter discussed in Mr. Bal- lard’s communication, is -as_ fol- lows: “Mr. L, P. Artman, Owner and Publisher of The Key West Citizen iKey West, Florida Dear Mr. Artman: “In the issue of The Key West Citizen under date of February 20, 1946, there was published in |“People’s Forum” a letter bear- ing the heading, “From An Irate Veteran”. This letter was signed by one Garland L. Ballard. xr. Ballard undertook to state certain matters of fact in his letter. I am sure that you will grant space in your valuable paper, so that th: facts in this particular case, as disclosed from official records, may be brought to your attenticn and to the attention of the public. “First, Mr. Ballard, the author of this letter, was NOT: arrested by me at anytime, or by any person under my order. The rec- we cy on the West, in front of the USO Sery- ice Club at Jackson Square, bear- streets of the City of Key ing an expired 1945 Kansas license tag. I thereupon, on that date, issued to Mr. Ballard a courtesy citation requiring him to install proper license on the automobile as his Kansas license had then expired. I stated in the citation mentioned that January 1, 1946, was the last date upon which his license was valid, or could be used. “The above citation mentioned was ignored by Mr. Ballard. On February 14, 1946, I again found this motor vehicle being driven on the streets of Key West av.’ I issued on that date a citaticn to appear before the, Motor Ve- hicle, Inspector at my office in the Monroe County Court House at once to explain why he, was continuing .to operate the . auto- mobile on an expired license. On this occasion I asked Mr. Ballare ‘for his operator’s permit and he produced an operator’s permit issued by the State of Florida, to Garland L, Ballard, bearing No. C-471344. The operator’s license listed him as a civilian. Pursuant to the notice, Mr, Ballard called at my office and said, “I have ordered my license from mv home State.” I asked Mr. Ballard to furnish me some evidence that he had ordered a license from his home State and in that event I would not compel him to buy a license from Florida. This he did not or could not do and he then stated, “I have sixty days in which to-obtain a license ard I will be in Kansas before that time and will buy my license when I get there”. I thereupon proceeded to check the motor |vehicle laws of the State of Kan jsas and I found that the firal operation date on Kansas license plates is January 1st and that an application for renewal can be accepted without penalty ont,, prior to February Ist. I thereup*n compelled Mr. Ballard to install proper license, which in this case was a Florida license plate and which he did. Mr. Ballard was not arrested and there were nc penalties attached to his failure to have proper plates. “In the masthead under your “People’s Forum”, you state that “the editor reserves the right to delete any’ items, which are con- sidered libelous or unwarranted”. I am curious as to why you did not exercise such prerogative in the case of Mr. Ballard’s letter. It does not seem to me to be good editorial practice to permit the publication of a letter such as Mr. Ballard’s without first check- ing upon the facts. A few min- utes’ investigation would have proved that there was no founda- tion for Mr. Ballard’s charges. I am an official of the State of scurrilous charge against an offi- cial is not only an attack upon the person, but upon the office, which he represents as well.
