THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1022. J! LIXTUHER EXPLAIN! I St I EMI 1ST FAITH (Continual from pnpe 1) owcr to bo feared ratlwr than un derstood and loved, Kilting upon a' throne, waiting to judge men, and fending both pood and evil. The world reeds to pet away from this view of Cod. It needs a larger concept of God, which is embraced in the use of the term Principal. In an eastern city after a lecture a woman came to me in soeminp men tal distress and paid: "I want to know how your God can be every where at the fame time." I was grate ful then for the thought of God beinir Principle, as it afforded a ready an swer to her inquiry. In considering the principle in mathematics manifest in addition, subtraction, multiplication, it is easy to see that this principle cm lo everywhere at the same lime. Th millions of Europe, Asia, Africa, or America cun all have the multipica-: tion taiile at the same time with all j of its power and facility, without in- Jorlniritf in the slipht-st particular) with its uc anywhere else in the uni- verse, always wilh one proviso, that they do under, tand tlie multiplication1 table and apply it. I In a far larger scn-e (iod beinp di vine I'rincip'e, infinite, unlading, is, everywhere present, a'de to solve Man s every pmbicm provide I man iindei stand.4 Him and the a ;iilability j mid uppiiciition of His power. Was rot this the thought of the I'.-iilmist when be sanp: "If I ascend up into heaven, thmi art there: if I ir.ake my hod in hell, Udiolil, thou ait there, if" I take the winps ot tlie i.iorninir, and dwell in the uttermo.t I arts of the sea; Even there shall thy; hand lead me, and thy ripht hand Khali hold me" (Psalms 1311). ) There is no problem, no condition, that can come to us but Go l's power is ever available for is satisfactory Kolution. Continuing this same thought of the multipication table, ask a schoolboy! how long he thinks eight times eight have been sixty-four and ten times ten one hundred. Doubtless his" an-, Kwer will be "always." How long he thinks it will remain so? Answer "always." And that is right. As idea of Principle docs not change, so the multiplication table, a.s idea of the principle of mathematics can never change. Principle docs not change nor does its idea or imago. Likewise di-j vine Principle is eternal, inviolable, un changing, always oiicrating. Principle l.i not moved by the breath of praise or flattery, or by entreaty or threat. In the thought of God being Principle,' Christian Scientists have gotten away from the old belief that God interferes in the affairs of men because they are asking Him to do this, that, or Fome other thing, or that God causes the unnatural or supernatural to be happening in the lives and affair. of, men. It teaches that God's work is already perfect and complete. Indeed the Bible Fays that "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very gooL The mission of scientific Christian ity is to reveal the perfectness and completeness of God's work, to enable U3 to overcome in our own lives and experiences everything and every thought that is unlike God and liis creation. Does not this thought bring us back to that rule of conduct which Jesus gave, that we should do always the thing that is in accord with the , Father's will? Healing Someone asks: What has this to do with the healing of my sick body, or sick business, or sick home, or .sick city? These are the practical prob lems that concern us today. Christian Science does furnish the solution for everyone of them. However serious your particular problem may evm to you, however significant and burden some, or however long you have hud it, it is not necessary that God should do any specific or individual '.nin in your l.fe to solve your problem. Too lon;r we have tecn s(e..mg God in a purely mnterial way, much as we have sought a friend lor a favor or a blinker lor a loan, crying out in c ur ignorance, our distress, with the hope that God would manilest himself in fomo suematural or miraculous way. 'lhen we begin to think there is no power in prayer because we do ml see this unusual or unnatural manifesta tion. Jesus condemned thi.t stlo of prayer when he said: "The he.ithen think that they shall be heard lor their much speaking. Hut it jc therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of leioiv ye ask Him. ' Our prayers aic answered in the realization that I.ove is always imet ing our needs. The truth of th.s comes to me in homely illustration lio.n my bo.xhood. In childhood I liv-d tn a farm in Kentucky, and I remember that in the springtime we always wanted tomato plants to set out in the garden about the middle or latler part of April. Accordingly in February father would sow toiiiato sctds in a I ox in the house, and then when the Mm came out he took the box out of tlie bou. e and put it on the porch in the sunshine, with a glass over it, and as the sun's rays boat upon the glass they warmed the ground, the seeds broke open, end the tender plants stuck their heads through the giound, and a.s they were carried into the sun day alter day they grew, untd pre:;cnt ly they were large enough to put out in the garden. Now t'e run was not shining for our box alone; it came down to warm the whole earth and to bring again the miracle of springtime und growth, and when we took our box out into the sunshine we saw growth and life manifested. Eikewhe with every human prob lem. Because of evil, hatred, jealousy, injustice, envy, or secret sin, our con sciousness is darkened and we have a problem, which we call disease, lack sorrow, or death. We need to bring the darkened consciousness into the sunliirht of God's truth and love, then the darkness is dispelled and the trouble disappears as mist before the mornintr sun. But you may say: "I have tried but I cannot bring my problem out of the dark." There is a way provided. The Bible and the Christian Science text-book help you to understand di vine Principle whereby you can bring this problem out of the 1ark. If you will read the last chapter in the text book you will find many testimonials from men and women from widely separated sections of the country, tes titying to how through the study of this truth they have been able to bring their problems to light and find their solution. j If it should seem to be beyond your 1 present ability to demonstrate, there I are Christian Science practitioners, consecrating all their time and thought to this work, and they are ever ready, when the problem is too heavy to be borne, to help us to bring it to bring it to the light, to that right under standing of God, to that realization, as Mrs. Eddy expresses it, of man's at-one-ment with God. WERNER TELLS OF SPLU CERTIFICATION (Continued from Page 1.) I least I7.2..0, assuming that the in creased price tor certmea seeu was only 40c er bushel. Supply Below Demand. The supply of certified seed pota toes was tar lelow the demand during the past year. Most of the Box Butte county potatoes went into the southern part ot Texas in the vicinity of Brownsville and San Benito. How ever, some of the Box Butte certified seed potatoes went to Louisiana, 1 car vent to the San Luis valley of Colorado and several cars were placed with different growers in the North Platte valley in ScottsblulF county. There is vwry reason to believe that if good certified seed potatoes had been available, 2 or 3 times as many bushels of certified seed potatoes coubi have been sold out of Box Butte county this past year without serious difficul ty ami without materially affecting the price. When considering this additional pro! it, the fact must be home in mind that this additional price represents jut payment lor potatoes of superior quality,' that ate .-uperior because of superior selection, because of idative freedom from disease and liecau.c they are carefully handled and proper ly graded. It is the aim of the agri cultural extension service to maintain the certification work on a high stan dard ba:-is. There are ;rreat possibili ties for increasing the acreage of cer tified potatoes in Box Butte county, but as results of last year indicate it is very evident that considerable im provement is necessary lefore a veiy much larger acreage can qualify lr certification in Box But Co county. Any growers who aie interested in vecoiv ing more for their potatoes by getting them certified, must also le interested in putting forth additional effort to glow and market better potatoes. Ti e principal cause for rejection of fields in Box Butte county last year were the prevalence of Rizoctonin, fusarium wilt, scab, mosaic, and otr type tubers. One or more fields were disqualified for each of one or more of these troubles. In addition several fields or so culled, Irish Cobbler potatoes were rejected because they contained mix tures of at leu.-t 4 varieties of white potatoes. Nebraska Spuds in Texas. Trofessor R. F. Howard of thU de partment was in Texas during the Tat ter part of February and early part of March. While there, he had the opportunity to inspect large acreages ot Triumph potatoes planted with Ne- braska stock. He found that in the' southern point of Texas, western Ne- braska jKitatoes are the most popular seed potatoes at the present time. In some of the fields pianted with certi fied seed potatoes lrom Box Butte county that he inspected, he found practically no mosaic present and in none of the fields did he find 5 per cent of mosaic. However, he found a num ber of fields planted with Nebraska potatoes, grown in Box Butte county that had from 15 to 25 per cent or more of the plants seriously damaged by the mosaic disease. As the preval-, en,ce of mosaic has caused this section i to turn away from Minnesota and Wisconsin as' a source lor their seed j potatoes and as this disease does con- 1 siderable damage in the fields in the south, it is quite evident that the con- i trol of this disea.se is very important! in w estern Nebraska seed potato ! growing. It is also evident that care ful growers in the couth will demand ccrti fied seed potatoes if they can rely upon such potatoes being relatively free from the mosaic disease. It might tie weil to state at this time that the mosaic disease can be detected only during the growing season. It is ab solutely impossible to detect this dis ease during the time the potatoes aie in storage. j The Inspection Fee. ' All applications for inspection of fields ot seed potatoes must be in the' i hands of the Extension Hort'cukurist j i;t Lincoln not later than June 0. The inspectron foe in Box Butte county this year will be 75 cents per acre to ac-i company the application and a fin d j Z cents per bushel for all potatoes that qualify at the time of the past inspec tion. In co-operation with the potato I growers in western Nebraska, with potato growers and county agricultural agents and extension specialists in he south, Agricultural Extension service has been able to place from 4 to 0! different lots of potatoes from th.it J many growers who had certified reed potatoes in twelve counties in the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louis iana and Texas. In addition to vhis I four lots of western Nebraska certified I eod potatoes are being usel in exper- l intents in the states of Oklahoma, Ar- j kansas, Texas and Louisiana in com- parison with lots from Wisconsin andi Minnesota, in work being carried on by the United States department of agriculture in co-operation with south ern experiment stations. This is the fourth year this piece of work is being conducted. Rejorts received recently from authorities in charge of the work are to the effect that this past year for the thin! time, the potatoes from western Nebraska dry land re gions give the best results at the var ious places in the south.
