WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1923" CALLS SCIENCE BI FENT OF MODERN EB 'Christian Science on Firm Foundation' Following is an excerpt from a lecture delivered by Peter V. Ross, C.. S.:B.,_ at the First {Church .of Christ, Scientist, in Wilmette, Thurs- day evening, February i. Lecturing on the subject tian Science: The . Divine nence," Mr. Ross said in part: . "Christianity has always associated love with the Supreme Being, though perhaps more as a characteristic or attribute than as a synonym. But Christian Science recognizes that while in one sense love is an attri- bute, an all-pervading quality of God, yet in a fuller sense Love is God, or as St. John puts it, "God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." Reality of Good and Health "The deductions to be drawn from the conception of Deity as Love are most inspiring and liberating to suf- fering humanity. Take all the sick- ness, sorrow and misery that appear to run riot in the world about us. Could they be imposed upon mankind by a Supreme Being who is Love? "Unthinkable and impossible," you reply. Could such things be made or countenanced by a Creator who is Love? The response is an emphatic "No." From whence then are they and by whom created? Christian Science replies that they have not in fact been created and that they have no actual foundation or existence, because the one and only creator, power, and presence is Love. The same is true of all the hate, malice, and strife that seem to infest society. They are the very antitheses of Love and hence can have no actual influ- ence or potency when Love is in- finite and omnipotent. "Any one who chooses can begin at once, in Christian Science, to prove this momentous truth; and having proved, though perhaps only in minor details, that discord, wheth- er in the form of bodily ailments or of mental disturbances, can be put out of experience, he will be ready to admit and able to see that the sum total of human wretchedness can be disposed of on the basis of its un- reality and nonexistence. Discoverer of Christian Science "If there has been any event of modern history more remarkable than the discovery of Christian Science, that event has been the suc- cessful establishment of Christian Science on an enduring foundation. To discover this Science, required rare spiritual insight; to so establish it that the truths of Chrstianity should not again be lost to sight, re- quired unsurpassed sagacity, resolu- tion, courage and devotion. These qualities were possessed to a superla- tive degree by Mary Baker Eddy, which answers the oft repeated ques- tion, Why did Christian Science come through a woman? "To a world sick with its belief in materialism, intellectualism and "Chris- Imma- skepticism, as well as sick with sin and disease, Mrs. Eddy has brought a workable means of regeneration: For the suffering and sorrowing she has made known a divinely prepared way of escape. Those who are avail ing themselves of the opportunity thus provided, hold her name in love and reverence, while people the world over are coming to recognize her as one of the foremost benefactors of the race." Book Reviews By John Philip Morris "We are six men going to ask one man what he means." "It is a bit queerer than that, I think it is six men going to ask one man what they mean." This, which is a quotation from THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY, Gil- bert K. Chesterton's masterpiece, ex- presses exactly the feeling among that paltry percentage of the world's popu- lace who read the books of the mod- ern Falstaff. After you have read ob- scurity after obscurity piled into ice- bergs of phrases and glaciers of para- graphs, you cease wondering what the author means and tremble for your own intelligence. It is rare when the reader can pin Chesterton down to a fact. A smoke screen of words constantly decreases the visibility of his meaning, his simi- lies and his towering parables, his chapters consisting simply of symbol- ism legible only to himself, all these surely must have some meaning but to the reader they are less than unin- tellgible. In THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH Mr. Chesterton creates a be- ing around about a super-detective. Father Brown and Sunday were inno- cent children compared to the omnip- otent, omniscient Horne Fisher. Fish- er does not deduct, he does not rea- son, he knows. His mission in life is to bolster up the English aristoc- racy to protect them from the penal- ties that would accrue to lesser men for their murders, assaults, and lar- cenies. Mr. Chesterton carefully shows us the seamy side of high politics and then scans each seam for 'what animal life the trench warfare of ballots may have left. However, instead of the usual vermin that politics breed, Gil- bert finds strange wingless butterflies. He would have us believe that a Prime Minister commits glorious murders whereas we know that the greatest crime such a man is capable of is re- ceiving or giving an indifferent bribe. But Chesterton is distinctly a Tomar ticist. He collects epigrams as some men collect pearls and when he has a string he has a story. To him the most tasty food is a page of Oscar Wilde sandwiched between two slices of the Holy Writ. After he has written "He seemed to be standing on his head merely to prove that he was hard headed," he feels good for » whole day and feeling Coueingly that day by day his epigrams are getting better and better. Now don't misunderstand me. 1 read eagerly everything that he writes and I consider his books well worth keeping and rereading. It is all trick stuff but, it is mostly magic and en- tirely irrational.

You may feel that I have an animus against Mr. Chesterton and I plead guilty. The natural animus of any protestant who sees a man's God turn into Moloch and devour his brains. Besides no writer of our day, with the possible exception of Owen Wister has more prejudices and is such a bigoted blighter as Gilbert. He would be denied admission into the Klan not because he is a Catholic but because his prejudices would be too Catholic for even the dark Empire. It is sad to see such a Niagara of talent turned aside to drive the nar- row turbines of bigotry. Priest and magician, prophet and playboy, or let us say, Hamlet turned crusader and altogether mad. JOHN PHILIP MORRIS. Community House Cagers Trim Country Day Twice In the second game of a five-game schedule the basketball quintet of the North Shore Country Day school came back after a 21 to 5 defeat in the first contest and held the Win- netka Community House team to a 14 to 12 win last Monday. Although coach Anderson's charges put in some strenuous licks in order to keep the Community House from obtaining a second victory the hon- ors were wrested from them by the Community cagers under coach Wil- liam Gonser's tutelage. For the Community House H. Por- ter scored the most points, making six free throws and one field basket. Other baskets were made by Smith and Carey. On the North Shore team Ripley and Ewen each scored two baskets. In addition, Ripley made two free throws. A field goal was also added to the list by H. Ander- son. If the Community House wins an- other game it will have the champion- ship cinched, having already won two out of the five games to be played.
