38 WINNETKA TALK February 11, 1928 Area Wide Honor Court to be Held on March 16 Each town holds a monthly Board of Review and Court of Award ex- cept on Quarterly occasions when all of the Northshore towns combine in an Area Wide Court of Award. Two such gatherings have already been held with large attendance. It is planned to hold the next Area Wide Court of Honor, probably on Friday, March 16. Inasmuch as the first Public Court of Honor was held in the south end of Winnetka, the second one at Glencoe, it is probable that the committee will decide to hold this court at Highland Park or some other town in the north end.

These pictures are be- ing taken of the various groups for The Echoes, which is fast nearing comple- tion. Groups of students might be seen clustered along the southwest cor- ner of the building trying to keep warm, for, in spite of the balmy weath- er of last week, it was chilly waiting for the fevered photographer and his assistants to snap the pictures.

Ohrenstein of Syracuse, N. Y., a member of the Board of Lecture- ship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The thing most sought for by man- kind is well-being. Religions, the sciences, all human learning and ac- tivities, have aimed to bring about this most desired and desirable result. Re- ligions have looked forward to com- plete well-being in the millennium ; philosophers and poets have pictured it in their Utopias; scholars, scientists, and statesmen have labored for its achievement, until in a material way there is little left to be desired for mankind. But do the things attained mean true well-being? That is, do they mean more abundant life, health, peace, satisfaction, and that enlighten- ment which rejoices in the good of all? For answer one only needs to read the daily newspapers and current periodicals ; for in them one finds that even in this, the most enlightened, the happiest, most prosperous of all coun- tries, poverty still prevails; incurable diseases still have sway; crime and degradation of all kinds still stalk un- abashed; war still occupies our thought. Why? Because well-being has been looked upon as objective in- stead of subjective. Because it is be- lieved to consist of what we have, rather than of what we are, inducing all to strive for great possessions, rather than for right being. And this, in spite of the teachings of Jesus, who said that life is more than meat and the body than raiment; who in- structed hs followers to "seek . . . first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,'--meaning not that we should not have the good things for which the world has longed and labored, but that we should have them as a result of spiritual attain- ments--in other words, because of what we are. Jesus came to "give the knowledge of salvation," or, as Wyclif translated the passage, the "science and helthe" to mankind. This means that he came to teach the science or knowledge of well-being; and well-being, in its broad sense, must include all that can be rightly desired, all that is needful for us to have. Indeed, well-being-- the basis of all achievement, yes, and of more abundant life--is the purpose of all enlightenment, all education; for, as Spencer has pointed out, edu- cation is a preparation for a fuller, a more complete life. The teachings of Christian Science are contained in their entirety in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip- tures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Dis- coverer and Founder of Christian Sci- ence. They reiterate and demonstrate the teachings of Jesus. This Science is preeminently the Science of well- being, and it is such because it is the science of right thinking and of right doing, not founded upon human belief or opinion, but upon the understand- ing of Him whom to know, as Jesus taught, is life eternal. It is this under- standing that Christian Science teach- es. The chief points of this Science are: the understanding of the nature, the operation, and the law of God; the understanding of man's relations to God - the understanding of the truth which overcomes sin and its disabling, impairing, diseasing results, culminat- ing in the wages of sin--death; the understanding of the true Savior, or Christ, and of his divine office of heal- ing, redeeming and regenerating man- kind from the effects of sin by the spiritual or mental method practise by Jesus. : my
