John Randall Dunn of St. Louis,
member of the Board of Lectureship
of the First Church of Christ, Scien

at Mesa in the Majestic theater a
free lecture on Christian Science. In
part the speaker spoke as follows:

JOHN RANDALL DUNN, C. S.
Member of the Board of Lectureship
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ. Scientist, in
Boston, Mass.
Entitled
Christian Science: The Supreme
- Discovery of the Age
Christian Science is not a modern
philosophy, not the "product of a fer
tile human brain.'' It is the revela
tion of the spiritual facts of being, the
revelation of the truth about God and
man taught by Jesus and the pro
phets, and it is all to be found in the
Bible.
The Path Marked by Jesus
Have you ever seen in the moun
tains a "blazed" trail? A large piece
of bark is cleft from a tree, and this
operation is repeated on other trees
at frequent intervals throughout the
length of the trail. No matter how
the trees may grow, the "blaze" re
mains, and so the trail is marked out
for generations to come. When the
world seemed immersed in the ma
terialism of Jewish theology and
Roman paganism, there appeared one
whose mission was to point the way
to spirituality, to deliverance and heal
ing, and he "blazed" a trail to the
Father's house so plain, so simple, that
a child could follow it. But in after
centuries, fast-growing weeds of
ritual and human doctrines, of politi
cal power and ecclesiastical worldli-

WILSON LAYS BILL
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. A aft of
a bill giving the president broad pow
ers to fix prices of foods and other pro
ducts essential to the conduct of the
war or for domestic consumption, was
laid before the raembers of the house
committee today by President Wilson
with the request that it be pressed for
passage.
Representative Lever, South Caroli
na, chairman of the committee, and
four fellow members, were called to the
White House and told by the president
that he believed the situation necessi
tated immediate legislation to provide
these powers.
Members of the committee declined
to disclose details of the bill.
It is understood that, the measure

agency that he may designate blanket
seemed content to follow the devious
paths of creeds until in our time a
woman-pilgrim came upon it and gave
to her discovery the name Christian
Science, or the Science of Christianity,
and she rested not tttil she had
written a book showing you and me
how to find it. This guide-book is
called "Science and Health with Key
to the bcirptures," and is the text-book
which Christian Scientists use in con
nection with their manual of life, the
Bible.
Christianity Is Exact Science
Mrs. Eddy discovered that the re
ligion taught by Jesus is as exact a
science as is the science of numbers;
that a Christian should be enabled to
overcome sickness,, fear, discourage
ment, poverty, or any other discord,
with the same readiness and certainty
of correct result that he takes to his
problem in mathematics, -
The Mission of the Saviour
A story is told of a shipwrecked
sailor who was cast upon a far-off
isle inhabited by semi-savage tribes.
One day he came upon a group of
wrangling natives, and, inquiring the
cause of the commotion, learned that
there was a certain supply of cocoa-"
nuts brought to the island to be equal
ly distributed among these men, and
no one could decide as to the number
that each should have. The sailor
counted the cocoanuts. He found one
hundred.- He counted the men. There
were twenty-five of them. Without
hesitation he said, "Each will have
four as his share." Imagine his sur
prise when the natives straightway
flung themselves at his feet, called him
a god, and proceeded to worship him I
Try as he might, he could not persuade
the simple folk that his instantaneous
calculation was the result of an un
derstanding of the principle of mathe
matics and was in no sense miraculous.
To the bewildered and heartsick
children of men came a Saviour. Un
derstanding the great Principle of
being, he solved their problems, bring
ing instantaneous answers in health
and reformation and regeneration. He
plainly said that of himself he did
not the works, and that if they would
hut understand his) mission and his
Principle, they too could solve the
problems as did he. But they called
him a wonder-worker, worshiped his
personality, and crucified him!
And the human mind has continued
its misapprehension down through the
centuries, with the result that we still

, instead of coffee.
"There's a Reason"
see thousands professing Christianity
and worshiping the personality of
Jesus, but following him in practical
demonstration of divine power not at
all!
" The Sign of a Christian
Do you know that Jesus once point
ed out a very simple method of dis
covering a true Christian? The direc
tions are to be found in the sixteenth
chapter of Mark, and follow imme
diately the well-known command to
"preach the gospel to every creature."
His words are:
"And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up ser
pents; and if they drink any deadly
thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover."
Christians, are we measuring up to
this standard? Suppose we are travel
ing in a distant land, and a would-be
convert says to us, "Are you a Chris
tian?" And upon receiving an af
firmative reply, suppose he next says:
'Oh, how glad I am that you came'
I see by your Bible that signs are to
follow the true believers. Now I am
possessed by a veritable devil. I am
a victim of the opium habit. Do, I
beg of you, through your beautiful re
ligion, cast this devil out!" What
would we say? Would we recommend
a well-known sanitarium famed for its
treatment of the drug habit, or what
would we do? Suppose he then says:
'My old mother is very ill. I see by
your book that a Christian, under
standing the great power taught by-
Jesus, can cause her to recover. Come,
I pray you, and heal her!" What
would we now say? Would we suggest
a change of doctors, or recommend a
new diet or climate or would we
undertake to put our faith to the test?
And if by chance we say to this hun
gering thought: "Ah, my dear sir,
that was not meant for our time! The
days of healing are past," do not be
surprised if he closes the Bible and
hands it back with this statement:
Very well! I have a religion to die
by that is older than yours!" .
Tho Christian Scientist a Patriot
Thus the man who has felt the heal
ing, liberating touch of Truth as
taught in Christian Science is sure to
feel an ever-increasing sense of grati
tude for and loyalty to this great Na
tion. For because of the freedom
guaranteed by its Constitution, the
birth and development of this mighty
cause were made possible. In fact, the
very coming of Christian Science.
which proclaims man's birthright of
ireeuom and dominion, was fore
shadowed in that great protest against
tyranny, the Declaration of Indepen
dence, when it was written, "We hold
tnese truths to be self-evident: that
all men are created equal; that thev
are endowed by their creator with cer
tain inalienable rights; that among
tnese are lire, liberty ana the pursuit
oi nappiness. "
And it seems especially fittinr that
I should read tonight words penned by
our revered Leader nearly twenty
years ago, when the United States was
at war with Spain words which have
a peculiar prophetic significance for
tne troublous times in which we live:
In reply to your question, 'Should
difficulties between the United States
and Spain be settled peacefully by
statesmanship ana aipiomacy, in a way
honorable and satisfactory to both
nations?' I will say I can see no other
way of settling difficulties between in
dividuals and nations than by means
of their wholesome tribunals, equitable
laws, anl; sounds iwell-kapt treaties,
. . But if our nation's rights or
honor were seized, every citizen would

"To coincide with God's government
is the proper incentive to the action
of all nations. If His purpose for
peace is to be subserved by the bat
tle's plan or toy the intervention of
the United States, so that the Cubans
may learn -to make war no more, this
means and end will be accomplished.'
Hear then the benediction with
which she concludes this great state
ment of truth which is for the "heal
ing of the nations' :
"The government of divine Love i:
supreme. Love rules the universe, and
its edict has gone forth: 'Thou shalt
have no other god!s before mo," and
'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' Let us
have the molecule of faith that re
moves mountains, faith armed with
the understanding of Love, as in divine
Science, . where right relgneth. The
revered President and Congress of ou
favored land are in God's hands,
(The First Church of Christ, Scientist,
and Miscellany, pp. 277-278).'
So the whole message of Christian
Science, its message to this sad world
to you and to me, may be summed up
In these two verses from our hymnal

TO CARE FOR FOLKS
Lawyers and physicians have heard
and heeded the call of the United
States government, say instructions re
ceived by the local draft board, and
now, in undertaking the gigantic task
of classifying registrants in strict ac
cord with the intent of the selective
draft law, Uncle Sam is calling upon
chool teachers to rally in support of
the cause. t
Maricopa local board is not vet ready
to avail itself of the services of the in- !
tructors. but within a few weeks thev
ill Ife needed, and when this time
comes it is expected that the response
ill be equally as commendable as on
previous occasions.
Instructions from the provost mar
shal general's office declare it to be of
paramount importance "to the selec
tive features of the draft and to the ef- i
fective employment of the man-power
of the army," that everv man be- so I
placed in it as to give the most ad- '
antage from his particular qualifica
tions.
'The manifold activities,',' stales the
communication, "that compose the :
mc iern armv call for a most extensive
variety of occupational experience and
skill, therefore a large proportion of
the men in khaki will be more or less
occupied with activities, which repre
sents the military application of the
ery skill already acquired by them in
civil life. These varieties of military
service are as vital as any others to the
success of military operations on a
large scale. The problem is, therefore,
to find the men who can do these nec
essary things."
The communication points out that
hitherto, under the first draft., men
nere first sent to the training camps
and their separate attainments learned
by individual investigation after they
arrived. Arrangements have now been
made whereby special experts in the
adjutant general's office and personnel
onicers in the several divisions have
so devoted themselves to this task that I
every man in the national armv is now
assured that his personal experience
and abilities will be utilized by the gov
ernment and the man who enters under
the selective system will have the same
chance of obtaining a position con
genial to his experience, as though he
had enlisted in some branch of the ser
vice selected by himself.
"The method heretofore followed."
states one set of instructions, "that of
waiting until the man's arrival at camp.
no longer sutnees. The demands, from
the several branches of the service, for
skilled men in the varied occupations
already exceed the supply as such men
available from the first draft. These
demands must be supplied as soon as
feasible. Instead of waiting until the
new contingent arrives at camp, its
composition must be known before it
starts. The occupational distribution
of all men liable to call throughout the
country must be known. The govern
ment must be able to determine be
forehand how many men of the several
branches of industry are available for
corresponding kinds of work in the
army. If specie.l urgent need arises, it
must De possible to make a special call
for the needed kind of men and to
know how many there are and where
they can be found."
In order that this situation can be
met, the local board will of necessity
have to call upon outside help In clas
sifying the registered men. An Index
card system has been prepared, and
tne volunteer assistants will have the
duty of locating the industrial capa
bilities of the registrant as set forth in
the questionnaire and transcribing
them to the index cards. It is this
work which the president expects per
formed by the school teachers, and
others who are capable of, and willing
iu penorm tne worK.
Some volunteers have already signi
fied their willingness to render a pat
riotic service and to assist the board in
the task.
One case of exceptional merit to
which the local board calls attention
is that of W. M. Cross, who for the
past month has voluntarily and with
out pay, assisted the local board. So
efficient has been the work of Mr.
Cross that he has been placed in charge
of the clerks who are expected to do
nate their service in transcribing the
information, relative to the Industrial
capabilities of the registrant, to the
uiuex caras.

BUILD AT YMUIDEN
DUTCH STEEL MILL
The plans for a smelting furnace
and a steel and rolling mill at Ymui
den, at the entrance of the North
Sea Canal, contemplate the construc
tion of work's provided with all the
latest appliances, on a waterway
navigable for large ships, as the ore
to be used would be imported from
foreign countries, according to a
report from Frank W. Mahin. Ameri
can consul at Amsterdam. The pro
duets of the works are intended pri
marily for shipbuilding. In recent
years the Dutch shipyards have used
annually not less than 150,000 tons
of manufactured iron, with a con
stantly growing demand. Large
quantities also are required in bridge
building, boiler works and various
other industries.
With this plant situated on a ship
waterway, as at Yamuidcn. conven
ient for both import and export. ac
tivities, its products, Mr. Mahin says,
could also be distributed cheaply and
satisfactorily through the country by
means of the numerous canals con
necting with the North Sea Canal.
The preliminary plans do not indi
. cate. works capable-of supplying im-
mediately the full - requirements of
the country, but probably about two
thirds of the shipyards' demands will
bo met, with a remainder available
for other industries. Besides the
principal output, attention will be
given to by-products, usable as raw
material by various Dutch industries,
