LARGE CROWD
HEARSSPEAKER
Los Angeles Man Speaks To
400 At Dittmann On
Christian Science
An attentative audience estimated
at 400 heard Charles E. Jarvis, C. S.,
deliver a lecture Monday night at
Dittman theater on ‘ Christian Sci
ence; The Realization of Humanity’s
Hope."
Following is an extract of his lec
ture :
“The healing which takes place in
Christian Science is a mental pro
cess whereby our erroneous belief
that life, substance, and intelligence
exist in matter gives place to the
understanding that man is spiritual
and therefore subject alone to di
vine control. We have been mis
takenly led to regard man as pos
sessing a material body made up of
hands, feet, eyes, ears, internal or
gans, and so on, including a mass
of cells located in the cranium where
he is supposed to do his thinking,
in spite oi the Scriptural assurance
that God made man in His image
and likeness. Now chemists tell us
that the hauman body is composed
of chemical elements such as water,
lime, salt, iron, sulphur, and so on.
When a sense of pain or inflamma
tion has appeared we have been
taught to pour something disagree
able into the material body, or to
rub something upon it, in order to
make it more comfortable, not real
izing that it actually has no more
sensation or intelligence than a log
or weed or a bag of meal, excepting
for the so-called mind of which the
material body is the externalization.
In other words, a mortal body is
only the manifestation of mortal
mind. Now as nearly all of you
know, the word “mortal” is derived
from the. Latin mors, mortis, death
—from mori, to die; hence it is the
erroneous, mortal concept of body
which gives us so much concern
and which is said to finally return
to the dust of which it was made.
It is from this false concept that
proceeds all the pain, sickness, and
distress from which mankind cries
out for deliverance.
“If the expected relief from bodily
discord is not forthcoming as the
result of the use of drugs or other
material remedies, it not infrequent
ly happens that a change of cli
mate is recommended, as if geogra
phical location could have any more
upon the elements contained in the
physical body than if they were
contained in a bottle. In every such
case, the cause and effect are pre
dicated upon the same fallacy of in
telligent matter, but, may I ask,
how would the drugs or medicinal
treatment affect the same matter
after the so-called mortal mind had
left it?
"We have no evidence that Jesus
! ever employed drugs in order to ef
fect a cure; yet he healed counless
cases without the aid of any ma
terial means. Paul said, "Be ye
transformed by the renewing of
your mind,” therefore it is the hu
man mind that must be educated
out of its false beliefs, and that is
the basis upon which Christian Sci
ence operates.
“Shakespeare uttered a truism
when he said that “there is nothing
either good or bad, but thinking j
makes it so.” If our premise is
wrong, it naturally follows that our
conclusions and results will likewise
be wrong. If the patient who be
lieves in the efficacy of drugs and
the physician who depends upon
drugs fail to accomplish the antici
pated results, the discouraged pa
tient wonders if there Is any relief .
possible in some other direction.
Here enters Christian Science with
its message of hope, declaring that
there is a way out; that the way of j
salvation which Jesus made clear is |
still open and unobstructed and that |
the promises He made—with which i
the Scriptures abound—were not |
limited to his immediate hearers but
to all who have eyes to see and ears
to hear. Mrs. Eddy tells us in her j
book “Retrospection and Introspec- \
tion” that “the mortal body being j
but the objective state of the mor
tal mind this mind must be renovat- j
ed to improve the body” (p.. 34).
When the afflicted one begins to
realize that the promises are true
and applicable specifically to him,
the shackles of fear and doubt be
gin* to loosen, he ceases the mes
meric contemplation of material
bodily conditions, and there dawns
in his consciousness a gleam of
hope which expands into spiritual
understanding which sets him free.
Neither human will power, sugges
tion, nor the hypnotic control of one
human mind by another has brought
about this demonstration.
“How can we doubt that the same
God who led the children of Israel
through the Red sea and guided
them through all the years of their
pilgrimage to the promised land,
who delivered Daniel from the lions'
den, whose protective power enabled
the Hebrew children to walk un
scatched through the burning, fiery
furnace; how can we doubt that
this same God is able to deliver His
children today from the mental,
moral, and physical discords with
which they seemingly have to con
tend?
“Christian Science is proving
j hourly that all things are possible
with God, and therefore there is a

very lively hope for the so-called
hopeless. The healings which Je
sus accomplishd are beautifully de- j
scribed by Mrs. Eddy in Science and
Health (pp. 476, 477) as follows:
‘Jesus beheld in Science the perfect
man, who appeared to him where
sinning mortal man appears to mor
tals. In this perfect man the Sa
viour saw- God's own likeness, and '
this correct view of man healed the
sick.’ Christian Scientists are striv
ing to follow^ the example of Jesus
by healing the sick in this same w-ay,
and the opportunity for such an at
tainment is open to all.”
BENEFICIAL
RAINS FALL
Growing Crops Over Valley
Aided By General Pre
cipitation
A general rain expected to be of
material benefit to growing crops
over the Valley fell Monday night,
and the weather forecast saw a
probability Of continued local show
ers Tuesday night. The precipita
tion was general over the whole of
south Texas.
All Rio Grande nver stations re
ported rain with Mission breaking
a record of over a year’s duration.
Rio Grande City also received a
heavy downfall, recording 1.47
inches. Mission obtained 2.58
inches. San Benito recorded .5
and Brownsville .85.
Shippers and farmers agreed
Tuesday that despite the fact that
the rain would probably delay ship
ments of beans and potatoes for
several days, the benefit done grow
ing crops would be of great value
to the Valley.
The rain was of a warm nature,
which is the best kind for the pro
duce. The lowest temperature re
corded in Brownsville Monday
night was 72 degrees as compared
to 73 et 8 a. m. Relative warm
nights have been the order for
some time, and this also is an aid
to the crops. Cotton especially Is
expected to be given impetus by
the precipitation.
The Rio Grande showed slight
rises at all points in the. Valiev
except Brownsville. The rains also
hit the watersheds of the San
Juan and Salado rivers in Mexico
and it is believed that the Rio
Grande will continue to rise from
above Mission dowh during the next
12 to 24 hours.
The river is now in a low stage,
ranging from -0.4 at Laredo to 8.8
at Rio Giande City.

Neuritis Pains
Quickly Yielded
To New Sargon
‘ Sargon is the only medicine that
relieved me of neuritis after search

master my misery.
“I would be doing my housework,
and all at once, hard, pinching
MRS. GERTRUDE MCDONALD.
pains would start in my left side,
and extend up into my shoulders,
and many a time I had to sit down,
or go to bed, until the ‘spells’ had
passed.
“Then, I commenced to suffer
with stomach trouble. After eating,
hard pains would come in the pit
of my stomach, and everything I ate
disagreed urith me. I had taken so
many medicines without any last
ing relief, and was so tired, worn
and distressed with pain, that I was
on the verge of despair. But I will
never cease to be thankful for giv
ing Sargon a chance, and I am still
marveling at the relief this wonder
ful medicine gave me. If it had
done nothing but end my neuritis,
that would have been, enough, but
it helped me in every way, and I
am feeling better than I have in
years. My appetite is back, I eat
and enjoy hearty meals, and noth
ing disagrees with me. Every ache
and pain is gone, my strength and
energy have returned, and I feel
like a different woman in every
way.
“While the Sargon tonic was
building me back my strength. Sar
gon Soft Mass Pills cleansed my
system of poisons, by stimulating
my liver and regulating my bowel
action. I can never say too much in
praise of this wonderful new treat
ment.”
The above statement wTas made
recently by Mrs. Gertrude McDon
ald. highly esteemed resident of 737
Melba St., Dallas.
Sargon may be obtained in
Brownsville from Cisneros Drug
Stores; in La Feria from Malone
Pharmacy; in San Benito from Pal
