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.

( HUKC II APVFKTISING
(Publ'shors Auxiliary.)
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.
