The vote of the town of Stonington today will decide whether Pawcatuck is to remain in the license column and the result will have its influence in Westerly when the vote is taken a month hence. The Wester- ly No-License committee has been do- ing active and conscientious work for a year campaigning against license and has evidently expended - considerable money in the work, as there has been much newspaper space occupled as ad- vertising matter, and presumably paid for at transient rates. There is yet to be the adlitional expense of the “Booze Show” and no-license rallies during the present month. There has been more advance work dome than ever and the no-license advocates have reason to_expect that their persistent | efforts will be crowned with success. The republicans of Charlestown held oaucuses Saturday afternoon and nom- inated Charles Burdick for senator and Asa T. Hoxie for representative in the general assembly. : The delegates to the state and congressional conven- tions are George A. Carmichael, Fred L. Dana, Charles T. Sshiesinger and Weeden 'J. Tucker. They were in- cted for R. Livingston Beeckman for governor and Walter R. Stiness for congressman. Town officers were nom- inated as follows: Willard F. Tucker, moderator; George C. Cross, town clerk: Herbert A. Gates, Charles T. Schlesinger, John C. Tucker, Elisha P, Crandall and Da- vid_E. Mills, town councilmen; Charles T. Schiesinger, town treasurer: Walter A.

St. Mary’s parish, New Britain, gave a testimonial of affectionate esteem to the Rev, M. P. Hart, the other eve- ning, which neither the new pastor of St. Patrick’s, Mystic, nor the par- ishioners of St. Mary's are apt to for- get. Over $1,000 was presented Father Hart besides numerous substantial do- nations. All the societies in the paris! and the parochial school children made collective presentations. A Reunited Family. Six years of domestic estrangemeni were brought to a happy termination in Mystic one evening recently when Edgar H. Collington of 81 Crown street, Meriden. and Mrs., Bertha L.

Bentley of Mystic, daughter of a retired den- tist, were married in 1900. Most of those who attended the first wedding |- Were present on the second one, al- though the first officiating clergyman has long since left Mystic. His place was filled Dby his successor, Rev. Charles T. Hatch, pastor of the Mys tic Methodist church. And then, too, there was another important witness ‘whose presence made up for many others who were unable to attend—Catherine Colling- ton, the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collington, and perhaps the most potent factor in ending the six years' separation. Peace Day Services. Sunday was observed among all the churches in Mystic as Peace Sunday, with special sermon and prayers and reading of the president’s proclama- tion. A special collection was taken for the Red Cross. In the evening a union temperance meeting was held in the Lyceum theatre and the speak- er was Rev. J. Romeyn Danforth of New London. The object of this meet- ing was to bring out a large number to vote for no license in the towns. Real Estate Sale. Mr, and Mrs. Clark T.

LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. (Continued from Page Five.) others to accept God in the same spir- it, especially those who were blinded with ceremonial, ritualistic and ma- terial worship, but his teaching, works and mission were greatly misunder- stood and remain so, in a large de- gree, even to this day. Many honest Christian people believe Jesus to be God, and address much of their prayer and worship to him. Oth- ers disbelieve him entirely 'and use every possible argument to discredit his Messiahship, his works, and the nerratives relating to him. Christian Science corrects these widely differing Deliefs. I will read from the text- ‘book: “Christ, as the true spiritual idea, is the ideal of God now and forever, here and_ everywhere. The Jew who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist; he has one omnipres- ent God. Thus the Jew united with the Christian’s doctrine that God is come and is present now and forever. The Christian who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist. Thus he virtually unites with the Jew’s belief in one God, and recog- nizes that Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God” (p. 361). “The Christlan Scfence interpreta- tions of the teaching and mission of Jesus conform in every detall to his own statements and to the teachings of the Apostles and the Scriptures in general—both the Old and New Testa- ments, & The Jewish people had expected a Messiah long before the birth of Jesus. Prophecy foretold his coming, but the coming was not in the manner expect- ed. They anticipated the coming of & mighty king who would overthrow the power of their oppressors and re- store their material kingdom. They could see no likeness, in their concep- tion of the Messiah, to the humble babe born in a manger. ~Their disap- pointment and irritation at the seem- ing fallure of their hopes were so intense that every accusation which might prove that Jesus was not the one they expected, but an imposter, was eagerly believed and magnified until nearly the entire populace was in_confusion and frenzy. Notwithstanding the false accusa- tions against him, and the indignities and.assaults to which he was subject- ed, Jesus fulfilled the mission for which he came. What he thought re- garding those who opposed him may be summed up in the words uttered in the moment of his greatest trial, when he said “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” He knew that the time would come when his words and his deeds would be un- derstood and justified. I pan_well picture to myself the false' judgment of those poor deluded mortals who clamored to make away with the object of their blighted hopes The prejudice of those people reached the highest degree that is possible to humanity; so great, indeed, that its influence is still felt throughout the world. I regret to acknowledge that I felt it. Yes! Felt it every day of my life until T came to Christian Sci- enice, apd_*8°= 3A only left me when I realized that Jesus was the best friend mankind ever had on this earth. ‘When the first positive conviction dawned.upon me that Jesus came to present to the world a Godly wisdom by which sin, disease and death could be eliminated, and when I realized how patient, meek, loving. kind and forgiving he was through all his suf- fering, I was touched first with a deep ense of shame and remorse, and then by a sense of love and gratitude. In that moment of awakening 1 found the real Christ, the true Son of Got That there is a divine law, wisdom and power which was a secret from the world, is evident by the marvelous demonstrations of Jesus. Such wis- dom is referred to in the Scriptures es the wisdom of God, against which worldly wisdom is called “foolishness.” The entire Bible teems with references pertaining to such wisdom, such as the Proverbs—"Happy the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that get- teth understanding.” “She is a tree of life to them at lay. hold upon her: and happy is every one that re- taineth her,” an “Get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understand- ing." Christian Science shows that Jesus comprehended this Godly wisdom. With it he was enabled to prove the vast difference between the mortal mind and immortal Mind. His mission was, first, to demonstrate his own under- standing of divine power and law, and Second, to teach all men that the same power ‘and law was universally avail- able. He understood the law which leads man to the realization of eter- nal life. The world only knew the er- Toneous mortal mind law which Jeads to death. These laws are contrary the one to the other, as St. Paul re- lates in his letter to the Romans: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Jesus Overcome All Material Laws. Jesus overcame the so-called law of ‘material force by calming a raging sea, and stilling a violent storm. He overcame the laws of physiology, an- alomy, pathology, and materia medica healing the sick, the lame, the Bind the- aeat, and by raising the @ead. He overcame the laws of pro- fluction by turning water into wine. fing feeding the thousands with a few loaves and fishes—concluding with fnore than the original supply. He overcame the law of gravity by walk- ing on the water. He overcame the law of mortality by overcoming death for himself and others, finally, he av- ercame the law of material or physi- 1 existence by his ascension. cal! it not overwhelmingly evident that his mission was to demonstrate the superiority of divine power En" law over the mortal and material law? The same law which Jesus used cen- | turies ago is operative and available today. Divine ldw is always present and universal, because it is infinite. That it is not circumscribed to per sonal possession is verified by Jesus own_ words "‘;Ie that believeth on me, the ‘works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because T o unto my father.” (John xiv. 12.) fie came showing the “way, the truth, and the life.” ~ He came to bring to light the ideal man—the man Wi wisdom and power, the man ‘whom God creates, and the only kind of a man God ever created. Jesus desired that humanity should know the true Status of being, and sought to teach them how to Teject the evil and the erroneous conditions which hide the Feal man. Paul gives a similar ad- Tonition in his epistle to the Ephe- SIaR%, oft concerning the former con- versation the old man, which is cor- rupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of you{ mind; and that ye put on the new TMan, which after God is created in Tighteousness and true ho'lness. Josus Not God. . Jo reference can be fount n e !eaglum ‘wherein Jesus ever cml'med %o be God.

The con- text shows that he had no intention + £ conveying the idea that those who saw his physical structure had seen God. What he tlearly conveyed was that those who discerned the quality of godliness, the good, the l!le, the truth, fhe love, the power which he had shown forth had seen the same quality Which comprises the allness of God. From the same reasoning one Who has seen the smallest measure of water has Teally seen the quality of the mightiest %God can only be known and seen in quality, never in respect to quantity. &0a is infinite, and no man can ever comprehend or _include infinity, but may continue to understand infinity and more, forever. ' ™ Jesus came to bring “Good tidings of ‘great joy, which shall be to all peo- Ple .. On earth peace, good wil toward men” “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly,” were his words. ) Healing by the Early Christians. Jesus taught his disciples how to heal the sick and reform sinners, and they in turn taught others, so that, as history records, the healing was prac: ticed mearly three centuries after the crucifixion, and then it became so densely overshadowed by the evil In mortal mind that the human con- sciousness could not longer retain it. By departing from the law of Moses and his trust int God, and failing to heed the fulfilment of the law, as ex- pounded by Christ Jesus, mankind per- verted spirituality to materialism; true religion to superstition; religious zeal to fanaticism; divine wonders to mec- romancy and black art; divine science to occultism; divine influence to ani- mal magnetism and hypnotism; spirit- ual joys to physical pleasures: spirit- ual desires to lust for material things, the help of God in time of sickness Lo drugs and other imaterial means. Nevertheless, truth has always re- mained, and was again brought to light by Mary Baker Eddy. We know that the kingdom has not suffered by the lupse, and now in these latter days ail can find the way by which to know themselves, as Christ Jessu knew him- self. Paul writes, in Romans, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.” The Son of God is the fmage and likkeness of God. God is Spirit. Al must eventuall learn that man is spiritual. In reality, man has but one nature, the divine. The human or ma- terial is fictitious and unrighteous. 1 universal belief that man has two na- tures is the cause of all our troubles. It is the oris sin, and will hold hu- manity in bondage until one nature, one God, is universally acknowledged. In Romans we read, “To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” n In divinely endowed with the ability to overcome the material or carnal mind, and thereby work out his perfect, har- monious at-one-ment with God. Personal Experience. When T first took up the study of Christian Science it seemed impossi- ble that my thought could ever become This does not mean, however, that man 'is what he thinks himself to be, for one might think himself very righteous spivitualized, for I he elwavs Leen Business and pleasure occupied my entire attention. I wus not accustomed to seeking my help through prayer, therefore I could see no probability of regenmerating such a mind. One evening, while thus con- templating the seriousness of itu- ation, 1 opened the Bible and five and six of the third cha Proverbs came to my notice, “Trust 1a the Lord with all thine heart; an lean not unto thine own understan ing. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. very material. I pondered over these declarations long and carnestly, and liy con- cluded ;to do as they directed, that is, acknowledge God in all my ways. Thus, whenever 1 rode or walked, I declared God as the power which permitted it. I affirmed His wisdom in every trans- action, and accredited every supply to Him with gratitude. 1 did not go to sleep without acknowledging Him to be the giver of all rest and peace; and so, whatever 1-did, wherever I went, I had God in my thought continually. To my surprise, in a comparatively short time I found this kind of think- ing quite natural, desirable and ex- tremely satisfying.. [ found myself rejecting sin, I was learning to think in a spiritual way, and yet such thinking was practical. I had evidence of th's from a better state of heaith, and good desires which came to me. I felt aa unceasing inciination to help others, to forgive my enemies, and to be more kind, just, true and honest. 1 had a great wish to pray and to heal the sick—all things_which I had never known before. I am thankful to =ay that I have made progress from the very hour when I first determined to have God with me in all my thoughts. Many of my acquaintances have had, and are having, similar experiences, for truth not only has the quality of be- ing believed, but the faculty of self- proof as weli. A Health the Result of Good Thinking. If you were the only person in the world and you had been thinking good and evil as the world generally does, and then you should conclude to dis- continue this way _and decide to think exactly as the Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount direct, and vou should carry this out to the very letter, that is, think and do only that which is good, pure and upright, then where would "evil be Evil has no principle, law or government to Up- hold it. ‘It is only what you permit it to be, in your thought. «Hate, jealousy, anger and revenge are devils and they are our worst enemies to health and happiness. Good thoughts, such as the childitke trust in God, kindness, love, gentle- ness, purify, honesty, uprightness, re- flect heaith, harmony and beauty upon the body, while their opposites—trust in material help, hate, jealousy, dis- honesty. immorality, etc. express dis- cord and sickness in the body. Medical Authorities Recognize Mental Causation of Disease. The Chicago Record-Herald of March 29, 1914, contains a very interesting article relative to the experiments and observations of Dr. George Crile, the eminent surgeon of the Lakeside hos- pital in Cleveland, O. as to the effect. of fear, anger, and malice upon the human system of the individual who indulges in them. . After elaborate ex- periments with rabbits and dogs, and extensive observation of _acquaint- ances, friends and patients, he an- nounces that under disturbed mental conditions the normal bodily secretions become poisonous, and are thrown into the blood in excessive quantities by the excited organs subjected to abmormal emotional strain. ‘Another and similar statement comes through The Associated Press from a specialist in the medical department Jf the Johns Hopkins university, saying that " appendicitis and certain serious diseases of the stomach had, in his jadgment, a purely mental origin. He advised, before any other treatment was atiempted, that inquiry be made into_the condition of the patient’s mind—the possible strain on the nerv- ous system arising from business ur domestic worries, apprehension or fear. The cause once fairly located, it was easy, in his opinion, to deal with the! effect. = Mental _disturbances being abated, all the ugly physical symptoms would disappear. F All this Mrs. Eddy brought to light almost a half century ago, and it will even‘ually be found that not only the diseases enumerated by these distin- guished physiclans are the result of cvil mental conditions, but that ail diseascs have their origin in abnormal thinking. During the 14 years of my study and investigation of = Christian Sclence 1 have seen nearly every kind of chron- ic and acute disease healed by the power of divine mind, after medical practitioners had given up all hope. Among them were cases of insanity, acute pneumonia, albuminaria, cancer, tumor, acute appendicitis, gall stones, chronic constipation, neuritis and many others. A number of these healings were among my own relatives. What I know of Christian Science, and what I have seen it accomplish, have given me the positive and absolute convic- tion that every disease known to hu- manity can be healed by the under-/ standing and practice of God's law, as set forth in Christian Science. Much is said in these days about hardening of the arteires, and high blood pressure. They, too, are the re- sult of disturbed mental conditions. Commercial Panics the Result of Fear.| What is true of the human body Is also true of the body politic. A panic| produces a rigid state in the arteries of trade, in the manufacturing com- mercial centers, so that nothing seems to move without extreme pressure. The dictionaries define panic as “extreme or sudden causeless, unreasonable fright.” To cure such a condition, confidence must be restored. It was the great cry during the panic of 1907 that every- thing would be righted if only the fear of the people would relax. If all people were Christian Scientists there would be no more panics because they, have confidence in the protecting and sustaining care of their heavenly Father, and thus lose the sense of anx- jety in regard to their supply. They believe in the verity of the statement of our Master, “Seek ve first the kinz- dom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Idolatry Widespread. Breaking the law of the First Com- mandment, having other gods, indulg- ing in idolatry, is the greatest of all| evils, and yet nearly every one is mDre‘ or less involved in this error. Idolatry does not consist solely in the worship | of material images. Parents often make idols of their children; men wor- ship persons and professions; art worship thelr art; stud worsh! earthly wisdom: pet animals and ph sical adornments absorb the affect wealth, fame, worldly ambiti pleasures often fill the consc and exclude the needed thought. These are harmful. Humanity calling them “hobbi culiar results they produce “eccentric ties of the professional” Man Is As He Thinks. scriptures declare, as a man heart, $o is he,” and ever ‘made, The “thinketh in b no truer statement was when he was quite the opposite. it signifies that man's being is mental and the quality of thoughts entertain- ed repressnt his Inclination—whether ing. Parents often impress fear of dis- ~ase and sin upon their children before they are old enough to think for them- selves, and those impressions remain and grow unless uprooted by spiritual understanding. Mrs. Eddy has named the sum total of all wrong thought mortal mind. All that pertains to evil, sin, sorrow, sick- ness, pain and death originate and have their seeming existence in this so-called mind. On the other hand, all that relates to life, health, peace, har- mony and perfection have their origin and eternal existence in divine Mind. Chi n Scientists Believe Prayer. ristian Scientists are sometimes 5ald to be a praverless people. No as- persion could be farther from truth than this. Christian Scientists believe in_prayer “without ceasing.” They ‘believe in' keeving thought active in churches, located in every civilized country ‘on the globe. New churches and societies are being formed at _the rate of one every th HRIE 1o tour daye ) o R When Mrs. Eddy first discovered Christian Science, she put it to every Dossible test, to make sure she had a demonstrable truth. After practising it for some years, and healing disease in every stage, she began to teach it to others, establishing the Metaphysi- cail College wherein she taught several thousand students. Mrs. Eddy is the authoress of several books upon Chris- tian Science, chief among them which is known as the. Christian Sclence text-book, “Science and Health ‘with Key to the Scriptures.” This book Is the Christian Scientists® authority for all that pertains to Chris- tian Sciénce. It is a commentary on the Bible. It explains the Science of tho right direction, in order to expel all the crrors of falee training, and to separate the mental chaff from the as did Jacob of old In his con- h cvil. We believe we should never cease. to acknowledge God's supremacy over all, and His loving and merciful kindness to His children. Our prayer is not so much in sup- plication to God for help as in ac- Beins. It sets forth the cause and cure of ail disease and death, and unveils the hitherto unexplained muysteries of life. Thousands have been healed by reading this precious book. You may inquire how this can be. Because every sentence is ‘a declaration of _divine Truth. and the Truth makes free, as the Master declared. There are knowledgment of the good which He already has given. If one had a gold mine, filied with the precions metal, he would not think it consistent to pray for gold, but would expect to help him- self to that which was already his. Christian Scientists do ask God for guidance, wisdom and help. They know that He has given them ail things, and that their need is only to awake from four Christian - Science publications. The Christian Sclence Bible Lessons, issued quarterly, are prepared from the Bible, with corre- Jative passages from Science and Health. They furnish a weekly lesson sermon for the churches and societies, and Christian Scientists find much help from'the daily study of them.

Christian Sgientists love the. Bible. They declare it to be the book of all books, as it is the book of life. Its in- spired pages contaln the secrets of all being. All ‘that pertains to Christian Science Mrs. Eddy gleaned from divine inspiration and the Bible. She found that the Bible has a two-fold meaning, one the literal or material, and the other the spiritual. This ~discovery cleared up the seeming contradictions and revealed the divine order of be- ing. ‘With the help which Christiar Scien- farmers, mechanics, pro- fessional men. politiclans. sportsmen, literary men end women interested in either fashion or economics—irrespec- tive of race or refiglon—resard it s e newspaper ever published, and u‘MM to say so.
