THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1922. THE PUBLIC FORUM (Editorials by Our Reader.) 9 Mil '.IMK-ltAWCBM: Christian Science ?. Health licit. OMAHA, April 20, 1!22 To the Editor of The Herald, Alliance: A re cent issue of The Herald includes home jocular remarks regarding the at tempts of a citizen of Alliance to re duce in weight by using a "health belt." and suggests the process ofi tightening the belt each morning and leaving the io.-t to Christian Science. While recognizing the humor of the Bitirle, still it is not amiss to say if our good brother should nmke u-e of a leather belt or other material means, hoping to thereby conform to tho tig ures in the fashion plates, h" would soon discover, if be gave sulno pient consideration to C'hri. tian Science at nil, that loing Godlike involves faith ful ftudy and application in that which is of Spirit. Striving io be Cud like is vastly different than striving to be a human Adonis. There are many in C'hri -tian St ion' e who will uladly Irfvir witness to the fact that the true "tigl. tuning of tie llt eah inciting" means ieeienlly tuming to Clod, tbrounh Christ, f r the spiritual stun; th and inspiration that i -. to safely eui lo them during the nicceeding' hours. The unshakable convictions in Christian Science are based on a tu understanding 'f (led, ml mean much i lore than a blind faith in a distant and indefinite Creator. The common saying that "N'o one loves a fat man." is not applicable in Christian Science. "Ho, every ie that j thirsteth, come ye to the water. LKSTbdi lb M'COUN, Pinkey Kneist to Pack His Trunk and Pull His Freight r.ichird ("Pinkcy") Kneist, was fined $100 and costs in fKilice court Saturday rooming on the charge of il legally having liquor in his possession. He plead guilty to the charge. The ino waa ni :ended until Tuesday noon, Kneist avcirinir that he had a ioh in Omaha anil was leaving Monday nightj to take it. Judtre Perry informed him! that if he was found in tow n I uo-may noon, or after, th-t be would be ar rested and committed to jail to serve out his fine. The judge lectu'ed the young man. reprimanding him for his rcord in this town which according to the judge slows thr.t he has never yet deiirned to soil Ids hands with toil. Oliver Meyack, the young man who war w'th Kneist end was arrested with bi'it war ill", charged at the motion of ti e county attorney, who said that he had investigated the case and had come to the conclusion that Meyack had but recently come here to work and bed merely ( ore out with Kneist when urged to take n drink, and was not a confirmed police court r.ciuu'nt anee. When the officers hove into sieht on the fatal night the bottle in which the Honor was contained was sent hurtiing through the air to the pavemor.t. All well anil good, the fat'd and unforseen dill'iculty being that the bottle refu-ed to break. About a tablespoonfrl of hooch was found in the bottle, which was sufficient to p:iin a conviction. If Kneist should not leave town n-vl is unable to pay the fine he will lan guish in the local London towers until he has ?ervel out his time, which at the usual rate will be considerably over a month.

At the cjuaiterly meeting of the Massachusetts Press Association held in Huston a few days ago, a resolution was passed inviting the churches to u e the columns of newspapers at reg ular advertising rate. We do not un derstand this resolution to mean that the little local news of church activi ties will !e om'tted unless paid for. Such material is legitimate news i nd should be provided the readers of every paper in every community. But there is a growing tendency on the part of religious organizations to go after members and increased at tendance in a vigorous, modem way, and for such appeals display advertis ing is used just the same as would be employed by a lecture bureau, the movie theater, the baseball game or any other function bidding for public support. Such appeals may be justly classified as advertising and entitled to be paid for as advertising. At that, if judicially directed, it will be a good investment. If the work the church is, doing is good and that is not gainsaid then every legitimate means to accelerate and increase that good is perfectly desirable. If display advertising can do it, display advertis ing should be included in the budget of the organization and paid for the same ns i the coal, the electric cur rent, the choir, the organist, the jani tor, the pastor, the singing books, the Sunday school (juartei lies, and all tho other supplies which are needed to help the smooth functioning of the great business as well as spiritual and social institution which the church has come to be.
