y 5 » WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 13 1925 7 DECLARES GOOD MANIFESTS ITSELF Winnetka Christian Scien- tists Hear Lecture BY ANDREW J. GRAHAM (Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.) Good always manifests itself. Inas- much as God hath "left not himself without witness" in any nation, and in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him, it follows that heathen and pagan lands are not entirely bereft of heaven- ly aspirations and tokens of good. In the Analects of Confucius, in the wise and noble statements of Socrates, and in the lofty and humane sayings of Marcus Aurelius are caught glimpses of eternal good. These representatives of pre-Christian times were seekers after good--God; and Christian Sci- ence, which is the all-embracing truth, takes note of their endeavors to know God. Even the Jews saw good in the Roman Centurion and said of him: "He loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue." And Jesus, by his act, acknowledged the truth of the statement. Under the influence of Christianity good's manifestation be- came clearer. The Wider View During the Boxer rebellion in China, when many white Christians were marked out for execution, a young Christian girl begged the privilege of taking the place of a gray-haired mis- sionary. In that act the young girl saw God and revealed God--good. In the great war of recent memory, a British soldier who had suffered in- tensely at the hands of his German captors was large-hearted enough to tell how, on a later occasion, a Ger- man officer treated him with tender consideration. In that act both these men saw God and manifested God-- good. When that courtly gentleman, A. Bronson Alcott, went out of his way to speak a word of cheer and com- fort to Mary Baker Eddy when all the world seemed against her, in that act Mr. Alcott saw God, and revealed God--good. Deep dewn in the roots of human experience, underlying all superficial phenomena, is a tie that binds all men together. It is foreign to no peoples, to no age. It is the unity,--the oneness of good. And the pre-eminent work of Christian Science is to awaken this seemingly slumber- ing sense of good into loving activity and fuller recognition. Christian Science Healing This awakening from the dream of self-righteousness and sickness and sin to the experience and appreciation of good, comes through Christian Science healing. It is God, working in one's thought, both giving one the desire for good and the ability to realize it. Be- cause spiritual man is like his Father, God, it follows that he reflects the healing power of God. God's channels of activity are through His spiritual creation, including man. He has none other. He acted through Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Jesus, the twelve, the seventy. The book of the Acts, being a record of Christian work for nearly seventy years, is a long catalogue of God's heal- ing activities, through His obedient servants. Since the discovery of the lost element of healing, by Mrs. Eddy, in 1866, the sons of God have gone forth to war against sickness and sin with marvelous results. Great is the com- pany of Christian Science practitioners, and according to the measure of their understanding and faithfulness and love they are bringing to multitudes the consciousness and the enjoyment of good. Another Point of Approach On page 271 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes: "Christ's Christian- ity is the chain of scientific being re- appearing in all ages, maintaining its obvious correspondence with the Scrip- tures and uniting all periods in the design of God." This is not only a profound but also a radiant statement. It teaches what scholars are wont to call the philosophy of history. Like the pearl diver who plunges beneath the water and rises with a prize, so Mrs. Eddy, in lonely and consecrated en- deavor, plunged beneath so-called material causation and brought up from the depths a clear apprehension and comprehension of the eternal kinship of all good. She alone of all who have written commentaries on the Bible has given us a Key to the Scriptures which makes the Jewish and Christian writ- ings mto a mosaic of harmony. Need 40,000,000 Miles of Wire for Phone Calls To carry on the more than 45000. - 000 daily telephone calls during 1924, the telephone companies operated near- ly 40,000,000 miles of wire, an increase of 5370,000 over the preceding year, of which more than 26,650,000 miles, or 67 per cent of the total, are in under- ground cables, 22 per cent in aerial cable, and only 11 per cent in open wire. The Bell System, which operates ap- proximately 70 per cent of all the tele- phones in the United States, has added to its investment in plant dur- ing the past 20 years no less than $1,948.000,000. HORACE MANN PUPILS DELIGHT WITH PLAYS Several plays were presented by the children of the Horace Mann school this week as part of the closing events . 2A) - of the school year. The plays repre- sented a wide range of material drawn from school studies. They included a Japanese play, a bird play, embodying the idea of the conservation of song birds, one based on propaganda for the extermination of the fly, a King Arthur play, and the service ritual, visualizing the recognition of citizenship service to the :chool. The Japanese play, given by Miss Ruth Smith's class, was based on a Japanese tale and included scenes from a Japanese tea party, a lullaby and a dance. The chiidren made their own Japanese kimonas, lanterns, fans and wisteria blossoms for stage decora- tion. The sixth grade class will pre- sent their King Arthur play Tuesday morning, June 16. Miss Jean Hislop has prepared the music for all the plays and the inci- dental dances were arranged by Miss Elizabeth Kirchner. The plays were directed by the class teachers and by Miss Douglass Whitehead, supervisor of socialized activities in the Winnetka school. Winnetka Teachers Carry Message of Newer System Numerous Winnetka teachers will be engaged in teaching Winnetka methods of instruction in various schools in different parts of the country, this sum- mer. Carleton W. Washburne, super- intendent of schools, will give a course on individual instruction at the Colo- rado State Teachers' college, at Gree- ley, Colo.; Willard W. Beatty, princi- pal of Skokie school, will give courses in principles and methods of individual instruction and educational psychology at Northwestern university, and Miss Hazel Hartwell, principal of the Horace Mann school, will teach at the Uni- versity of Ohio, at Athens, O.
