We can not : ai the same time boih per feci and imperfect; nor can we be bum ock and well, pure and sin ful. I lie Christian Scientist soon disc . ers this distinction between right ; iking and wrong thinking, and :.r strives to retain a right bu-,1, f thought, and to keep his thought tree from mental darkness of a: ver character, True con set . ss is the expression, the ein.i: ■.m. of God.

Haul ai d Silas sang in pro m and straightway that prison became a sanctuary. Hence we see the meaning of the Scripture: ‘"I call heaven end earth to record this day against you, that i have set before you life and death, bless ing and cursing: therefore choose life, ihat both thou and thy seed may live. ” THE VALUE OF THE BIBLE U'hen we turn to the Bible we find that prophet and disciple, through righteous prayer and spir itual power, controlled the destruc tive forces of nature, healed dis eases, and raised the dead; they proved conclusively (hat spiritual understanding was the most pow erful agency among men, since it uuii.'.ed the omnipotence of divine Spirit. VC'e find that these Bible men and women struggled with much the same problems that con front us. The manner of life, the customs, may have been different, the speech of the thinkers and strivers more symbolic and figura tive, perhaps; but when we come to study these men and women, we hud that in their upward striv know i iod and to grow into j the divme likeness, they were trav- | eh g the same narrow path out of distorted views into spiritual con- | sciousness which all must tread, rncir vicissitudes, trials, victories, and visions are a mirror ot our uun experiences. Bui they were not dull and stupid victims of dis ease, hate, and sin. They rebelled against these evils. They knew the presence of a greater pow er ihan the power of evil and ihey relied upon It. Amidst the darkness ol mortal beliefs they saw i light,—a light at times dim and d'siant, perhaps, to some of them m the midst of their struggles, but sl'll a light. They indeed discern ed that light "which lighted every man ihat someth into the world." ond the more clearly they saw that "gh', the more effectively they "rre able to rise above human ills and prove their falsity. ™E DISCOVERY OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE liven to the casual observer it is evident that the Christianity of the nineteenth century differed greatly ,rom the Christianity of the first ceniury in the nineteenth cen 'ury there was much preaching but I'u healing. The tefin Christian ' c lunger meant the anointed one, lui was used with various shades of scholastic interpretation. ; ihuugh spiritual healing has he; losi since ihe third century, neve iheless the leaven of the Seriptur was continually at vork in hum: thought, purging it of er: • preparing it tor the reception of it Comforter, which would final destroy the dream of materialit 1 he paganism which seemed for time to assume the form with.. the spirit of Christianity, could n forever blind men. The truths , the revealed \X'ord could not f stilled Again the Scriptures hi Kan to he understood and ago the inevtt tble battle between id • i ism and materialism opened. Lari est seekers for the truth challenge barren dogma and profitless do. trine. < treat reformations in ri Itgi in and governments were e,. c impltshe I I he Pilgrims cam to America seeking freedom t worship God A new natiot America, was “conceived in I b. i ty and dedicated to the propositi ) that all men are created equal, and here in the free atmosphere ( liberty-loving and (lit ui g N ■ I-ngland was lorn th woinan a ii gave to men the Science ■ r Clin tuiiiiy, Mary Baker Hddy. Mr | Eddy was of Puritan ancestry. Sh • was reared in the atmosphere of i Christian home. S i eCved G i and she studied the Bible. Mi early saw that modern rcligi in lacked the healing works of Chris Jesus. She tells us in llieChrisiia j Science textbook that she ponder ed the meaning of these words i ; Scripture: “And these signs slid j follow them that believe. the shall lay hands on the sick, an. they shall recover." And as sin pondered ihese things she bvgai to see the scientific line of demur cation between Spirit and matter between the true creation and ill false She saw that since God i All in-all, as the Scriptures declare the only creation is spiritual. Oi the other hand, everything that i unlike God has no actual existence even though it may seem very rea and tangiole to the physical senses Since Jesus and his disciples de stroyed physical ills, these ills cat not he of God, because God s ere anon is good and imperishable God being perpetual in His owr individuality, all His creation in us be like Him, immortal and mde structible. Since God knows al thing-, God is Mind and ihe uni verse of God, including man, n spiritual. Following ilie-'e spiritua intuitions. Mrs HJdy si v lhai d that proceeds from (old was g.-v erened by law and that back of Hit healings of prophet and disciple was ihe exact,demonstrable Science of Mind, available like ihe laws o mathematics, lor every man to ap ply in the affairs of life. Bui Mrs Eddy mjs not content merely n know these tilings. she provei them She began to heal people, not by hypnotism, faith cure, ot mental suggestion, hut by the sci entific understanding of God which repudiates sin and disease as false and therefore powerless to harm man. In the year 1866 she gave to the world the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Healili with Key to the Scriptures ” Un prejudiced minds welcomed this book. The meek and humble found (hat it unlocked the treasures of the Bible and proved that the Scriptures have a scientific unity from cover to cover It was this scientific unity winch all the great Bible characters grasped, in spirit if not in the letter. The sick were healed by reading the book; sinners were reformed. This textbook threw a flood of light upon the Scriptures which cjused them tu glow with the pristine splendor ol old, so tlui their truths freed nun the same as they did when firsi re vealed centui ies ago — Adv.

Miss Hlizabeth Green entertained Friday night in honor of the visit ing young ladies from St. Mary's There are a lot of things that are easy to explain --if it isn't to your wife that you have to explain them. A magazine writer says we need a new religion. Let's not do any j thing rash until we've tried the old 1 one. ()ar tJea of hard luck is to ask some lellow to sing ) ou know can’t sing, and then have him consent j to do so. We all make mistakes. The irouble is that too many of us think that only our own mistakes are pardonable. One nice thing about being a grouch is neighbors won’t ask you to keep the baby w hile they go to a picture show. You can't judge the quality of a Weldon man's religion by what he says while making out his in come tax blank. Mr. H. B. Harrell, Sr., says it's a great life if you don't weaken, with surtaxes, subtaxes, cab taxis and just plain taxes. We heard a Weldon man say yesterday that a pessimist is a fel low, when offered the lesser of two evils, takes both. It won't be long now until you can go out and plant some seed and wonder what they would have been if they'd come up. Nowadays men speak two lan guages—the one used in ordinary conversation and the one used in talking to their flivvers. They say there is a new coun terfeit $100 bill in circulation. Who but a bootlegger will ever j get hold of one of them ? Most Weldon men can make both ends meet. But only a few j can make them lap over so they | can tie a hitch-knot in them. “Sometimes it strikes me," says Mr. G. C. Hux, “that about the only way to save money is to quit buying the things you enjoy.” Mrs. F. J. Bounds, Jr , was operated on at the Roanoke Rapids Hospital last week for appendicitis We are glad to know she is doing | well. Always be punctual when you make an appointment. It gives you a chance to take a long rest while waiting for the other fellow to show up. Mr. R L. Gravely, of Whita kers, has the contract to build the large garage on the corner of Syc amore and Second streets for the Bounds Motor Company. The old-fashioned Weldon girl who used to sit in the sun for an hour to dry her hair now has a 1 daughter who washes her hair, hangs it ou't the window, and then spends the hour reading a novel.

The following announcement has been received by friends and relatives in Weldon: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas Capell announce the marriage ol their sister Mrs. Hennie Capell Simpson to Mr. Louis Watters Payne on Wednesday, February the twentieth nineteen hundred and twenty-four, Raleigh, N. C. H. Y. P. U. SOCIAL. The senior B. Y. P. U., of the Baptist church, recently named the Daniel Union, had a social ai the Baptist parsonage last Friday evening O.ving to many reasons several members were absent, but every one present expressed them selves as having spent a very en joyablc evening Avery interest ing contest was given. Miss Maude Harris won the prize and Mr. J. P. Holloman the ‘'booby.” Alter this was over delicious cake and cream was served. SERVICE; AT THE STATE FARM A correspondent writing to the Scotland Neck Commonwealth, says: The usual service was held at Caledonia Sunday afternoon. Rev. G. W. Ferry, pastor of the Meth odist church of Weldon, and his choir had charge. As we reached the camp the bell rang for service, upon entering the place of worship we heard the prisoners singing songs of praises, preparatory for the services that were to follow. The services were inspiring and uplifting. Mr. Ferry preached a very practical and thoughtful ser mon-one of hope and encourage ment. I'he musical program was unusually good. Two numbers deserve special- mention. The vo cal solo by Mrs. Alice Hudson fol lowed the reading of the Scriptures and the solo by Mrs. R. H. Crof ton at the close of the sermon with Mrs. D. B. Zollicoffer as their ac companist. Music plays a large part in our services. There was a treat in store tor the prisoners at the close or out service. The members of Mrs. D. B. Zollicoffer’s Sunday school class, at her suggestion, had made candy tor all the prisoners. While Miss House was making the hour pleasant with music, Mrs. Zollicoffer, assisted by the young ladies of her class, gave to each I prisoner candy they had enjoyed making at home. It would be hard to tell who en joyed this act of kindness more, the prisoners who received or the ladies who gave. It is wonderful to see how much joy a suggestion executed can bring. A CARD. I wish to thank all of my friends in and around Weldon for their kindness and assistance rendered me during my recent sickness. I am deeply grateful to all fot their thoughtful attentions, for their visits and for the many nice things sent to nte. I thank each and every one mosi heartily. LeRoy Jenkins.
