Lh - WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER. 15, 1918 i ear in CHRI 'Synopsis When the lawyer from among the group of Pharisees and Sadducees; harking back to the materialistic:and mistaken 'sense of. Judaism, asked Jesus (Matt. 22:36--40), "Master, whichis the gréit' commandnient in the law?" our-Master replied, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and] with.all thy mind. This 1s the first and great commandment. And the second is'like unto'it, Thou shalt love | thy neighbour as thyself. On" these two 'commandments Hang atthe Taw | and the prophets." This is profound | and entirely metaphysical teaching; | a 'setting forth in concise and direct | fashion of the fact underlying all manifestation of life; a presenta- tion of the truth about God and man, the absolutely necessary fundamental knowledge upon which, as Jesus says so tersely, hang all the law and the | prophets. | < Now the. Bible. is. valuable to us] only in proportion, to our.recognition of the right idea of God. The Bible was written through inspiration, re= flection of intelligence; it can only be. understood: thfoiigh inspiration; that same reflection of intelligénce. The Bible is not only a history of ages of human ..experience, of a people, but it is a record and proph- ecy of the experience of each in- dividual human consciousness in its putting off of the old man and its putting on of "the new man, which after God is created in rigliteousness and true holiness" (Ephesians 4:24). It is, indeed, in this aspect that it is most valuable to you and to me. *.AJLECTURE ON- STIAN SCIENCE By MISS MARY GC. EWING. C:S.B. i Member of the Board of Lecthireship of The Mother Church, The First, Church of. Christ, Scientist. kd + in Boston, Mass. | 13 | "Today, as in all the ages.of history, | the cry' of men is, for, life, for love, for 'health, for freedom. from. the | bondages to evil, for the coming of | that day, which St. John so wonder- fully describes, when: "God shall | wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there®shall 'Bé nd moré death, | neither ' sorrow, nor crying" (Rev. | 21:4). , It .is the. sweet and. simple | demonstrable -, knowledge . of God | which brings to human ,consciousness | the dawning light of this great day. | We can never show too grateful a love, too humble an appreciation of thea "tighty spirit 'and' the tender | compassion which impelled Mrs. | Eddy to seek and to gain this great | gift of knowledge, and to peur it, al veritable balm, into 'the hearts of: a | waiting world. . In the beginning she | had to.beg and beseech. with tears | running down her cheeks, to be per= | mitted to help the afflicted out 'of! their sufferings, but today the warni; and pulsating affection of tens of théusands 'of those resurrected from sini and disease béars witness to her | mdghnificent achievement. We love | and reverence her: for her purity and | devotion to: goody for her seli-ab-| negation and her' generous and ing ing.sacrifice for. aur welfare, for the | keenness of her vision and her in- tuitive : grasp.of thre deep things of | Mind. We pay her homage and acknowledge her absolutely unique place in the world's history as the Discoverer and Founder of Chris- | tian Science, and we heed both the spirit and the letter of her earnest admonition, "Follow your Leader only so far as she follows Christ" (Message for 1901, p. 34). | f i ¥ } ! ! POLL BIG VOTE FOR ~ CONSTITUTION ISSUE North Shore Villages Cast Over- :whelming Vote in Favor of Lead- . ing Issue on "Little Ballot" THANK DISTRICT WORKERS Constitutional Convention Com- 'mittees Express Appreciation to All Who Helped By S. M. Singleton The unusual interest shown on clection day in the Constitutional Convention proposition resulted in a remarkable large favorable vote.on the question throughout New Trier township and helped materially to in- crease the vote on the other "little ballot" propositions. The total vote in favor of a Constitutional Conven- tion in the Villages of Wilmette, Kenilworth. Winnetka and Glencoe was 2607, with only 113 opposing votes. Overwhelming Approval The vote on the Constitutional Convention proposition in each of the Villages was as follows: For Against Wilmette 1195 59 Kenilworth 199 5 Winnetka 790 45 Glencoe 423 4 Thanks all Workers The handsome vote on this most important of all state issues was due in' part to the efforts of men and women who were at each polling place on election day, urging voters to remember the "little ballot", and especially to vote for the Conven- tion. This work was done by mem- bers of the campaign committees which were formed in each of the four Villages under the general chairmanship of Mr. Fred W. Bur- lingham of Winnetka. Mr. Burling- ham appointed a local chairman in each Village to organize its local committee. These chairmen were Mrs. Amos B. Miller, Kenilworth ; Mr. Sherman M. Booth, Glencoe; and Mr. S. M. Singleton, Wilmette. The large convention vote was also due in part to the effective help given by the Republican and Demo- cratic organizations throughout the township. Mr. Burlingham and the local chairmen wish to express their hearty thanks to all those in the various Villages who helped to bring about the above result. KNEE BREECHES TO BE DISCARDED BY U. S. ARMY A practice in the matter of army clothing which has been in effect ever since the Spanish-American war is to be changed. and hereafter our soldiers, in common with our sailors and marines, will wear long trousers instead of knee breeches. Tt appears that the practice of wearing khaki uniforms was introduced into the | the theory that used in connection army by Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and that. the demonstration of the practical utility of the material made by the men of that famous organiza- tion caused khaki to be adopted a little later by the entire army. Soon knee breeches were also adopted on with leggings, they would facilitate the mounting of infantry and the dismounting of cavalry in case of necessity, It was.eensidered also that they would be more comfortable and permit greater ffeedom of 'movement than the. dong. trofisers: -- These theories however, seem to have been proven erroneous by the arduous ex- perience which our men have been called upon to face in Europe, and it has been officially announced that the change "is to be effected as soon as the quartermaster general's office can get the necessary supply of the new-style garment to the men over- seas." It is also announced that the trousers "will be tighter around the lower leg than was the fashion with the old army trousers since they are to be habitually worn with spiral leggins adopted for the men of the expeditionary force, and will prob- ably be of the same general charac- ter and appearance as the trousers worn by men of the French infantry." This will enable the men, when not on duty, to remove the leggings as do the member: of the Marine corps. The change will be welcomed by the men of the army, as it will add to their comfort when off duty and will also improve their general appear- ance at such times. y "Made In Germany" Five hundred tons of German toys have arrived at New York, but some- how we don't want to see them. Toys stand for what is sweetest in our memory--Christmas and birth- days and long, long hours of dreamy play. Toys with the "Made in Ger- many" brand can never mean that now. We couldn't look at a German doll without remembering Belgium and her slaughtered children. A German lead soldiers--we used to love them best of all-- would no longer fill us with an ardent wish for knicker- bockers once more. It wouldn't be a toy, for it is now a tiny model of that thing most accursed in the history of man. We couldn't bear to see our baby play with them . And even the won- derful toy engines and machines that Germany made to delight the soul of boyhood mean today the force that also generated the Zeppelin and the long-range gun. If Germany wants us'to forget and forgive, let her burn her toys and make no more.--F. F. V., in New York Tribune. Wood Fuel Committees Urged To help meet the coal shortage the forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture urges that wood-fuel committees should be at once reorganized in every community where they have been allowed to Tanse, and appointed if none exist.
