JujJgd.IInnnn 6ioko Tuosday night
aim opera houso on tho subject of
rvnitr upon its buck the same old
most ..attentive audience of the rep
resentative, people of Medford. Tho
nwlfcnco was in a largo part made
up of people who appreciate tho good
that is boing done by' Christian
Science, and wore desirous of learn
ing moro of its fundamental prin
ciples. Judgo Ilanna was intro
duced to tho audience by Porter J.
Noff in a very pleasing and appro
printo mnnncr. Tho judgo is i gen
tleman of fino address, and, Ave may
oayj an orator of tho now school,
whose stylo of speech is rather of
the conversational than tho sensa
tional omot'vonalism of tho past do
cado. Tho discourse seemed (o bo
directed mostly to tho believers in
orthodox Christianity, with an ap
parent desire to reconoilo tho Chris
tian Science doctrine with that of
othor doctrinal beliefs. Tho truth-,
scokor who went there, frco from
previous convictions, wns furnished
with but scant food for thought. Tho
discourso was almost'entiroly a ploa
for tho belief in tho inspiration of
tho Scriptures, and n dosiro to mako
them fit Christian Science; in other
words, tho judgo scorned to sny, "I
wish to present to you a boliof which
will in no vny conflict with any be
lief that you may hav? in orthodox
Christianity."
It is nn undoniahlo truth that
Christian Science owes its growth
and popularity to tho fact that it
embodies tho few simplo essentials
t might by Jesus Christ, namely, leni
porato living, right thinking, a heart
free from ninlieo and rovengc, forgiv
ing in spirit, loving your follow -man,
novor giving away to angor,
and thinking kindly of those who
oHlioiso you. All this Christian'
Scionco teaches, and in nddilion it
also toaches ns to put nsido fear, to
lioliovo and hold fast to tho boliof
that health and not sickness is, and
should be, tho natural condition of
num. Thesobeautiful boliofs mako

Eddy ,lhnt sho has turned tho chan

instead' of .death. Tho world, is
ready for this now doolrino of hni
and life. Tho Kast is crimson with
i Iho dawning of a bettor day. This
century wants tho ognn principle of
tho Maslor's teachings, unmixed
with dogmas, isms, doctrines and u
p'orstilions. When Christian Science
has so much that is good and whole
some in it, why send spoakors about
tlo country trying to prove a boliof
m tho Trinity and insisting upon nr
iiceeplniiee of their particular con
struction of tho SoWptuios? What

Medford Nex ton List and Work Wilt
Be Carried On
Rapidly.
Professor P. J. O'Gnrn, govcrn
mcnfputhologist, ond his assistants,
Inspectors Aitken and Smith, nro
making rapid progress in cleaning up
tho infected orchards in the several
Towns of the vnlloy. They have fin
ished cleaning up Ashland nnd Talent
and Phoenix and aro in Jacksonville
at present. Medford is post on tho
list. The work is being done in a
thorough manner, something "after tho
mnnnor in which tho valloy of the
Shenandoah was "cleaned up" by
Sheridan.
"Yes, wo cleaned up the town or
chards as far as wo have gone," said
Professor O'Gara, "ahd while tho
cleaning up whs thorough in every
case, tho job wns not always what
you might term a neat ono."
The n'bovo statement should bo
food for reflection for citizens of
Medford. If tho property owner
knows that the trees on his-property
ni-o infected it will save him trouble
and perhaps expense in cleaning up
aftor the inspectors to see to tho re
moving of the trees. The inspectois
nro not arbitrary in the methods, but
they will insist thnt the infected trees
be destroyed, nnd are bound by their
offico to see Hint the work is carried
out.
