HEAR CHRISTIAN SCIENCELECTURE John W. Doorly Explains War Phases and Religious Tenets Christian Science as a helpful fac tor in yartitne was ably discussed by John W. Doorly. Leeds, England, *Vho lectured in the Orpheum theater last night under the auspices of the local First Church of Christ Scien tist. Mr. Doorly is a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, Mass. He was introduced by A. Carson Stanim. In part, the lecturer, said; "Let us consider the present catas trophe which is afflicting mankind and which we fall the tvar. Well, someone says, how is the war going to be affected by prayer? Let us look at it. You will agree with me, I am sure, that the cause of this war is mad ambition and human will. Now are mad ambition and human will mental or material? They are men tal of course, and are both effects of the one evil, the so-called carnal mind. They are also closely allied to that other pernicious effect of the carnal mind, called mesmerism or hypnotism. "How. then, are we going to deal with these effects of the carnal mind, mad ambition, human will, and mes merism, and thus with their result, the war? We can only deal with them by understanding, and living j in daily life, the divine fact that | there is and can be but one infinite njfnd, God, who is all-presence and allpower. We must also realize that the understanding of this divine fact, that there is but one mind. God. has I I 209 vfALNUT sT. : Prices Alone Talk in | the bhoe Business These Days!

Infinite power to annul und to re- ' verne any lie of a so-called carnal mind, whether that 110 be mad am bition, human will, mesmerism, war, I or any other evil. Furthermore, had humanity really understood and llv- j ed the fact that Ood, or good, u the only mind, these evils, mad am bition, human will, and mesmerism, which from *i human standpoint have caused the war, and which, from the same standpoint, are still perpetuat- ; ing it. would never have had either [ the influence or the power to have manifested themselves In a war, for j they would have beenf controlled and j overcome by spiritual understanding , before they had developed into this material catastrophe. "However, what humanity has not I enough spiritual understanding to j overcome, it must meet Vtnd destroy ! with its highest human ideals. Be- ! cause of humanity's present self-sac-: riflce and Its willingness to give up | its dearest material possessions in order that its spiritual ideals may 1 live, the teachings of Christ Jesus j will undoubtedly become clearer in, human experlen.ee, and it will be/ seen that war is a totally unnecessary evil, and that Individuals and nations can only bless themselves by bless ing each other, and not by laying plans for each other's destruction. "Because of the coming together at ; the present time of the English j speaking races, as a result of their unity of ideals, much is being done to make war an impossibility and to ! bring all men together in the unity of the ideals of Christ Jesus. "The day is surely approaching when men of all nations and creeds j will no longer waste their time and j be befooled by the suggestions of I that one evil, the so-called carnal I mind, into seeking health, happiness. | or holiness through material mtaas, j but when all men will seek to know God aright; and in that understand- ; ing of God and of His divine law, i spiritual existence, sin, disease, 1 death, war, and all mortality will ) pass away into their native noth- 1 ingness.. into utter darkness before) the light of Christ or of spiritual j understanding." 550 Miles of Railway Needed For U.

I "The British have only ninety; • miles of railroads to care for," he] added. "And the railroads must be built In such* a way that destruction I to one or more buildings during a! night bombing expedition by the! i Germans will not seriously stopi • transportation.

However, the machinists are not; I a hundred per cent, yet and expect jto make ."in even better record. [ ] Keen rivalry will doubtless be found I during the ensuing days of the cam-1 j paign. and the machinists are likely! ! to come on top of the list owing to I j their superiority in numbers.

At present the company has four belonging to the I Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, two of i the Central of New Jersey and one of ' the Cornwall and Lebanon.

The Fuel Ad- ! ministration has issued a request that < steam trains and factories limit use of the whistles when celebrating al lied .victories or Liberty Loan suc cesses. It was made plain, however that lots of such noise is desirable ' Promiscuous and long-continued I blowing of whistles at night causes I telephone lines to be clogged with in quiries to such an extent that if some emergency call, such as for fire ap paratus, were necessary during the celebration it would likely he impos sible to get a quick response, it was ' said.
