Mr. K. C. lames of This City And Miss
Pearl Williams Married At the
M.E. Charch In Osceola. Ia
Love's sweet dream was again
realized Monday of last week when
Arthur C. James entered into the
voyage of matrimonial bliss with
Hiss Pearl Williams of Creston. The
event took place at the MetbodiBt
Church in Osceola and immediately
afterwards the happy couple start
ed onvseveral visits to relatives in
Osceola and Anita before returning
to their home in this city.
Mr. James is one of the young
hustling business men of our town,
and his bride a welcome addition
to the fair sex of the community.
Saturday night about fifty young
people gathered at the dome and
found that the newlyweds were in
the best of humor or at least they
•bowed it by the plenteous supply
of festive souvenirs. Earlier in the
day they bad tiled a daring ruee to
escape detection. The groom in
«truoted the bride to leave the trail)
alone and then he would follow just
as he had done on a good many
occasions before, alone. But it did
not work for the groom instead of
looking dejected and lonely as be
formerly did, was full of smiles and
baggage checks more numerous,
and of course we knew what had
tiappeaed.

AN
ADDRESS
J*, 'v
At The
Delivered At The stian Charch
Radiating Light
v,n
Christian
Science Doctrine Direct
From Mother Charch
Frauk H. Leonard of Brooklyn, N.
Y. lectured last Friday night at the
Christian Churcli to a cultured aud at
tentive audience, on Christian Science,
the Comforter of Promise. Mr. Leo
nard was splendidly introduced to the
audience by liev. Smith. His lecture
was in part as follows:
'In approaching Christian Science
from the standpoint of honest desire to
kuow the truth about it, the average
person finds there are some things about
its Leader and its teaching which they
do not understand and which they are
entitled to have exp'ained.
One usually wants to know the origin
and purpose Of the Christian Science
movement and its chief purpose in the
world. What is its chief purpose? Its
chief and overpowering, its all and on
ly purpose is to glorify God, and to do
it by destroying sin in the world. It
has no other purpose. It turns one
away from darkness and lifts ones gaze
unto the everlasting Light, which is a
better understanding of God. It teach
es one to know that only as the wor
ship of God is made practical, does one
beoome Christian.
We, as Christian Scientists, have
mo^t of us been church members or
church attendants before becoming
Christian Scientists. Christian Science
o$tne Into our livss and taught us its
ooiission of health. It taught us the be
lief that God has aught to do with suf
fering is absolutely false and untrue and
an offence against Him. Christian
Science came to us and said audibly
and mentally, 'Don't you know that
God is Love? Don't you know the Bi
ble teaches us, "(Jome unto me, and I
will give you rest?'' Don't you know
that as you turn to Him you will find
a tender, loving, compassionate Father,
right at your side, a very present help
in trouhle?„,_Xpa't you know that it
teaches one to do unto others as we
would that others should do unto us.
The next question is, what position
do the Christian Scientists accord Mrs.
Eddy. Do they place Mrs. Eddy on
the same plane with Christ? Do they
consider her a mediator? It happens
that Mrs. Eddy has answered this
question better than can anyone, in an
article printed in the New York World
of February 1, 1895. Mrs, Eddy writes:
"There never was, is not now, and ne
ver can be but one God, one Christ,
one Jesus of Nazareth. To think or
speak of me in any manner as a Christ
is sacrilegious." It does not seem pos
sible there is anyone who believes that
the Christian Scientists have ever thot
of the Leader of our movement as
Christ. It has also been said that we
worshiped Mrs. Eddy. I want to tell
you that there is not a Christian Scien
tist who worships Mrs. Eddy, or any
other person. For tt)e minute personal
worship comes into consc'ousness that
selfsame instant one (eases to be a
Christian Scientist. No, we do not
worship her but we love her for her
self-sacrifice. We give our allegiance
to her and she occupies the position of
Leader of the Christian Science Cause."
Mr. Connrardy ia another victim
of the grippe, being taken ill Satur
day. Ki
Will Davie and eon and Fred Kline
returned from Omaha Friday after
a couple of days passed in eight
seeing. "~f
Do not attempt to frighten your
children into obedience. Faith and
not fear should be the ruling prin
cipal with them.
Mrs. Mollie Hunt expects to leave
sometime in the near future for Los
Angeles, California where she will
live with hereon, Lawrence.
Wrecked on the Sea of Life a Great

Mike Mertes started Monday on

Several from out of town attend
ed the Lecture on Christian Science
last Friday evening, among them
being Mrs. Ida Blattner of Anita
Mrs. Petite, Mrs. Follette apd Mrs.
T. Whitmore of Atlantic. Theee
people surely realize that it is a
great treat to hear an authorized
Lecturer on Christian Science. The
local Christian Science Church
hired the Lecturer to come here and
give the lecture and the people in
and around Exira should grasp an
opportunity such as was offered
them last Friday night and learn
the truth about Christian Science.
Christian Science will not make you
anv better than your neighbor, but
it will,—as all Scientists say—make
you better than you were before you
gained an understanding of what
that Science teaches.
