Christian Science Lecturer Talks at Local Church ( harles S. Ohrenstein. C. S. B., Speaks on Tenets of Faith Before Congregation Here. Charles I. Ohrenstein, C. S. B., lec tured last night ri the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Following Is his address In part: On page 497 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, tiie first one of the re 'ligtous tenets of Christian Science reads, "As adherents of truth, we take the inspired word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life." Let us go to the Bible, then, from which are drawn the entire teachings of Christian Science, the book upon the teachings of which Christian Scientists depend for all physical as well as spiritual needs. Let us take the Bible, then, together with Its commentary, the Christian Science textbook, and let us see what that great l>ook, which has withstood all of the assaults of the ages, teaches Cod to be, Rnd to be able to do. Bible Terminology. In this Book of books we find no word that meant to the Hebrew of its day what the word God has been per •verted into meaning by the people of other climes and of more recent times. Indeed he was forbidden to make for himself any graven image, mental or otherwise, of the supreme Being, for bidden to make for himself a magni fied nr idealized human as his God and tlpe Hebrew designations for the Jteluy were intended to preclude this. FTha earliest of these designations were El or Elohim, meaning strength or power: Yhwh, meaning the existing • e, thus existence or Life; Ehye Asher-Ehye. "1 am that I am," or again, but in other words, existence; Khaddat, always coupled with El, as 111 Khaddaj, meaning overpowering strength or supreme power, and Za buot. meaning of hosts, usually coupled with Adonai or El, and thus Lord or strength of hosts. But let us hear HIM who spake ns •never man spake, who taught both by precept ar.d example as never man taught, whom all of us may with the Magdalen call. Kabboni. Master. Old his teachings contradict those of the more ancient prophet* of Israel? No; they amplified, magni fied, glorified them. Like the Hebrews of old. lie called God, Elio— the strength of me or my strength. So closely did this humble Nazarene walk with God, so Intimate with Him. so obedient to Him was he, that he called Him, Father; and not merely • my Father," hut “our Father.” the progenitor or cause of all. So sure r at he of this Father s abode that he addressed Hun in heaven—“Our Fa ther which art in heaven." and so provident, so loving of ail did he know this universal Father to be, that he recognized that the lily of the field was clothed by Him, the sparrow's fall anticipated by His law; so fully did this Son of God Illustrate Him. that his beloved disciple recognized that "God Is love." and so proclaimed Cod. Translate symoois. Christian Scientists, who are striv ing to be the true Israel, contenders for the one true power, like Israel of old, like the disciples of old. arc taught by science to translate things cr mere symbols into thoughts, the thoughts or ideas which are the realities of all symbols. They do this because they recognize that every uing indicates purpose, an operation of consciousness, and every purpose i.ii idea: that Kloliiro, the power that ; w as In the beginning, must be the i ! rinciplc, the mind, of all that it purposed and projected—of the uni .’rse. including man. Christian tvimitists recognize, therefore, that tliis mind is their mind, this power is : ..eir power, this existence, or life, • their life: that this "I am" or uni ersal ego Is their true ego or self hood. and so on. Yes, they recognize l hat this one Father, meaning pro x ider. protector, guardian, monitor, i id guide, is their Father. But here the question may arise: of what avail Is ail this, what prac tical value has all this to the Indi vidual. to the mass: how can it be applied? l.et us look upon the world's rest .'tsness hurry, bustle: its driving and x driven: its extortion, inhumanity, d misery of every kird; its pride, xrroga.net. ■ ppr<:-dons; its independ vnee of principle. God. and its depend , r.ne upon everything else, its deltauh V’ and debauched; its private strifes i d public wars: its carnage, suffer g. insanity, sickness, dcathiand then et us remember that, "there is noth ig cither good oi‘ bad. but thinking makes it so." Are the things that we have enumerated, the products of right thinking, the thinking of that ■ Spirit," or mind, which "bearetli witness with our spirit (the good in human consciousness', that we are , lie children of God?" Is it not all the piodurt of that pretense to mentality which says. I ain something, sn inde pendent thinker, altogether separate from God and His creation! Is It not all the product of this selflsm and its disobedlencs to God, good, cower ing In abject fear, a selilsm that should be arhamed and hide lta naked ness as of old? And Is not the whole world groaning under this pall of material,ty and ita fears? Fear Is the one great enemy of mankind, end frsr :s due to darkness, the opacity of materiality. Christian Science, "the ight that shlncth in darkness, ant he darkness comprehended It not,” h* truth that all shall ultimately know, has come to liberate mankind from thla monster, by liberating them from all that causes fear, selilsm of every kind Talks of Fear. Pear! The canae of all our Ills say ou? Let us see. I^t us taka the very first trouble which was enumerated. 1 *stl*asness, a vary common trouble. Is ona aver testiess because of con fidence? Confidence menne assur i ance, not fear. Hurry, extortion, these do not look at all related; yet, they are cut from the name piece of cloth. Is not the one due to a fear! of loss and the other to the fear of, not having a sufficiency? Pride, Is not that the fear of failure to be es teemed? And bow does anyone who is afraid feel, good or bad, diseased or at ease? The hurrying, bustling, worrying individual—is it not a com mon saying that he will worry him self into the grave? Did any of you ever know a frightened man to suc ceed in a game of any kind, in busi ness. or in life? And the debauchee, the one that makes his life a gala day at others’ and his own expense, docs not he always fear that his enpoy ment will be his ultimate undoing? Mind alone can think. By a perfect ly logical process Christian Science has shown that God Is mind. If this is true, then "it must follow as the night the day” that there is only one real mind, just as there is only one real God, and that one Infinite; that every true, good, beautiful, pure, lov ing, healthy, normal thought, feeling, action, and effect must be the emana tion, the product, of this mind. These right, pure, holy, uplifting, healthy thoughts come to each and every one of us. and prompt. Impel, compel and of us, and prompt, impel, compel all form with them In action, to exter nalise them. Every projected thought of mind, every created thing appeals, speaks to us, unfolds itself to us, un til we understand Its nature, purpose; know that God indeed made all, and that all is as God made It, very good. To do this is to love and not to fear. To do this is to conceive God’s con cepts, to perceive them, to know something of what God knows. It is the unfoldment. the revelation of God's ideas, the discovery of the meaning of God's hieroglyphs. It is to cry out with the poet, , O world or God has made It! all i» beauty. And knowing thi« Is leva, and Iota la duty. What further can b» lought for or de clared ? It would hardly be possible to speak at any length of any great achieve ment, any great discovery, without saying a word about the one instru mental in bringing it about. Mrs. Eddy Well Known. No woman’s life is so well known , as is that of Mary Baker Eddy. Half a century of it was spent under the closest public scrutiny. Who of us here could stand to have his every act from earliest infancy bared to the public gaze, as was done in the case of this noble woman? But with the white light of truth shining cm its every page, her life stands as an ex ample of devotion, of purity, of toil, of sacrifice, and of love. Mrs. Eddy's one desire was to save. ! Like the Master, whose humble fol lower she was, she came not to "con demn the world," but to save the world. She saw the world’s wrongs.-| but her gaze was ever fixed on God's omnipotence. This made her a great protestant, and as thousands can at test, a great emancipator. But be yond and above all this, her life showed that God. as the only cause of all, is not only our father but our mother, and she showed this by manl- j testing divine mother love. Her pro- ' test was tempered by this love, by the broadest Christian charity. She loved those of other denominations, ! of other schools of healing, and of ; the other scientific schools. She loved with her whole heart this great free country. She saw its mission ’ «•« de»Mny. and had the uimoei confidence in its ability to fulfill them. She prized the equality, the opportunity, the freedom of all alike under its flag She taught her fol lowers to emulate her in all this. I>o in,. this, and remembering that thq highway of this science, this Christ, truth, hail to be prepared. Christian Scientists prize their country, and love all that made U, and all that makes it what it is. _ Bruce Bowe Dies. Richmond. Va..

What I Have Learned in 47 Years Practice 1HAVE been watching tb» r< sults of constipation f< 17 years, since I liegHU the , uce of medicine hack, in 1373. 1 am now 83 years old, and though from time to time the medical pro fession makes some wonderfully interesting experiments and tests, the fundamentals of causes and relief in this particular ailment arc unchanged. But the people take greater in terest today in their health, in diet, exercise and the drinking of water. Constipation, however, will occur from time to time no matter how one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. 1 believe in getting as close to nature as possible, hence my remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Cald wells Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It is made of Egyptian senna and pepsin with agreeable aromatics. Chil dren will not willingly take bitter things. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant lasting. and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written me to that effect. Over 10 million bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are now sold every year, and it is the mo«t widely bought family laxative in the world. I say family laxative because all in the familv can use it with safety. It is mild enough for the infant in arms, effective in the most chronic constipation of an adult. The formula is on every package. Recently there has been a new wave of drastic physics. Calomel, a mercurial that salivates and loosens teeth, has been revived; salt waters and powders that draw needed constituents from the blood; coal tar disguised in candy form that, causes skin erup tions. In a practice of 47 years I have never seen any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bow els just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping, and without shock to the system. Keep free from constipation! It lowers your strength 28 per cent, hardens tile arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel move ment. Do not sit and hope but go to a druggist and get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Svrup Pepsin. It is a generous-size bottle. Take a teaspoonful that night and by morning you will be well. The cost is only about a cent a dose, l.se Syrup Pepsin for yourself and mem bers of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stom ach, piles, indigestion. loss of appe tite or sleep, and to break up fevers and colds. Always have a bottle in the house, and observe these three rules of health: Keep the head cool, the feet warm, tbs bowels OJien. Fraa a recent portrait of DE. W. B.

The ease and comfort with which the twenty hour schedule is maintained over the water level route of the New York Central is due not alone to the fact that the men who operate the Century have won their places by years of meritorious ser vice—the picked men of a great organization—but also to the fact that year after year millions of dol lars of new capital have been expended by the New York Central management in making this a better railroad. Since the inauguration of the Century service, the property investment of the New York Central Lines has grown from less than $900,000,000 to nearly $1,800,000,000, and a considerable part of this expenditure has been made on the main traffic artery —the water level route from New York to Chicago.
