has In store for us.
In undertaking to know something of
the nature of uoa wo are oil agceea in
admitting that God Is omnipotent emnt
Dresent. and omniscient: that is. all pow
rful ever present and all knowing. " W
are all agreed In admitting His Infinite
perfection and presence and pow-y-; yet
after maKlng these statements the re
lurlous thought of the world Quite gen
rally contradicts them by admitting that
sickness and oCner forms of imperfection
are either sent of God or permitted by
Him as though divine Mind had any
imperfection to send or could permit It
without oecoming responsioie tor it.
No matter by what term we may think
of God whether it be aa Infinite Life or
Infinite Principle or Infinite Mind a logl
cal deduction as to th nature of man
and th creation will always bring us to
the same point that of the eternal per'
fectlon of all that God has made .and
the unreality 'of sickness and all that Is
contrary to Hia divine nature
The only way wo can fall to arrive at
tms conclusion is py simply saying God
is God making no effort to understand
His nature and insisting that the sick-
lie and sin which we see about us are
In some way according to Hia indnite
Perfection and holiness.
We all of us accept the statement that
Uoa Is wisdom out it Is better to say
mai uoa ia aiina Because wisdom.
never anytalng but the expression of
Mind it we admit infinite wisdom w
must admit that-It la the emanation of
an innnue Aiina.
Let us Illustrate th divine ' Mind by
using the ordinary conception of a human
inlna as an an example. You say your
irwnu naa a nne mina. iou say mis be-
cause lie has a lot of fine Ideas which
he expresses. You have never seen his
inind but you have known the expres-
sion of his mind In ideas. If be never
moved a muscle never spoke a word you
would rightly conclude that there was
uu mind there. Ho a mind to be a mind
must be rilled with Ideas and an Idea by
virtue of being an Idea must be ex-
pressed. It ia impossible to conceive of
. lumu mieu wan meas yet unexpressed
tor a mind with no expression Is not a
mind but a blank.
Now we have evidence of Infinite wig-
dom in th universe and the evidence of
iiiiiuo. wisuum preaicates an infinite
Mind. Tba inflnlt Mind a filled wth an
infinite numper of Ideas or thoughts
which constitute its wisdom. These Ideas

Such a conclusion aa this leave no
room for a mortal material sick and
sinful man yet we have the problem of
materiality with Ita sicknesses and wees
to deal wtih a a false belief to be eradi-
cated. - ...
Nothing seem more real to the human
mind than doea matter though the moat
eminent physicist of the present day
are .quite at one In saying that It Is Im-
possible to prove that there 1 such a
thing a matter. They say thst matter
Is a function of something otitsld Itself
the expression of energy: and this is lust
nother-way of saying that m(tr Is an
expression of thought. Christian Bclenc
with thardJn saving that matter
is an expression at tnougni out poinu
out that matter la an expression not of
ngni inougnt but or wrong ineugni;
that all rlglMt thought? uodrs thought
rati thought must partake of God's na-
ture' and I therefore spiritual not ma-
terial and- 1 expressed In spiritual
thing.- Th whole material ' universe
with all lis ln sickness and death 1
of th abaenc of the opposite ths sense
Of the absence of that which God made.
'Now this material body can not do any-
thing of Itself but I simply the expres-
sion of the conscious or unconscious
thought of the mortal human mind. In-
vestigation proves that all sickness I
mental. that Is. It Is sick thought made
manifest on the body; and when we are
well It la well thought which la made
manifest en the body. Every function
every action every condition of the body
la tha expression of what we are con-
sciously or unconsciously thinking from
one moment to the next .
As we see that 'both sin and sickness
ar simply manifestations of mortal
thought' thought of ' Imperfection we
also see that by putting the thought of
th perfection of God-and all that God
ha mad in place of this wrong thought
we shall rule out tha wrona theuaht:
and with no wrong thought there can be
no wrong manifestation. Th Bible
makes this Identical statement when It
ays "Put off concerning the former
eonversatlon tha old man. which I cor-
rupt according to th deceitful lusts; and
be renewed In th spirit of your mind;
and put on th new man which
after God la created in righteousness and
true holiness." .
To these who are Just beginning the
study of Christian Science the nothing
ness ot tne material man Is tha most
difficult proposition to accept. The logic
of. the argument of the Infinite Perfec
tion Oz Mind. God and tha anlrituul fra
atlon. seems clear to most "of us. but
tne equally logical and correlated grgu
ment of- the nothingness and unreality
ef the material creation cause u more
trouble. This point will become clearer

ation becomes real to us tha material

those things that are so obviously un-
like God so contrary to the thought of
His perfection that you can detect no
matter now small your understanding
thatithey are not His making and hence
have never been mad. Aa you deny
their reality and assert what you know
to be God's perfection these conditions
win aisappear; and though you will (till
bav a material body to deal with It
will be a better body made batter and
stronger through th application of God'
law ot. noaun.
It 1 th putting off of th old man and
the putting on of th new through th
application of th teaching of Christian
Science that constitutes tha healing. Th
thoughts of sickness and sin are ruled out
of human consciousness by th under-
standing and declaration of tha perfec-
tion of that which God ha made.
The Christian Scientist jray without
ceasing. He Is not given to praying au
dibly because hp Is not praying to man
but to God Who hears him In secret but
reward him openly. t
Mrs. Eddy aays: "The habitual strug
gle to be always good Is unceasing pray-
er" (Science and Health.' page 4). Our
Idea ot goodness needs to be enlarged to
include all good oualities. It should In.
elude health and success as well as holi-
ness. If God's help is not available In
everything how are we to know how
much He may be relied upon In anything?
If God will not save us from a aick hodv
or a -'sick business how can we be sure
that He will save us from sin? Men are
& roving dally that Christian Science may
e successfully aDDlied to everv human
activity to every human problem.
To get an understand mr of divine Love
requires nothing but the belief that the
Infinite Principle may be understood and
a desire to understand it. He who with
an honest motive makes an effort to
know the letter of Christian Science will
receive the SDlrlt. and there ia nn human
difficulty which divlpj Love can not heal.

Oklahoma and Texas and' la now in
Houston for the purpose of looking over
the oil fields in this section especially at
Humble and Goose Creek.
He arrived -in Houston Wednesday

guest at a lunch tendered by the direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce at the
Klce hotel. Thursday afternoon In com-
pany with George L. Noble vioe presi-
dent and manager of the fuel oil and
railway sales departments of the Texas
company ha visited the Humble field.

Friday will be spent in a visit to Goose
Creek. .The trip will be made via the
hip channel in order that the distin-
guished visitor msy have an Opportunity
to Inspect Houston's waterway and ob-
serve th various Industrie that line Its
banks.
Sir Frederick expects to leave Saturday
for St. Louis Pittsburg and other North-
ern and Eastern oities.
"I have been visiting Spindle Top and
the Humble fields" he told a Post re-
porter Thursday evening. "There Is a
good Held at Humble: in fact 1 noticed
one well flowing without (he aid. of a
pump.
"Our mission Is principally to obtain
oil supplies for the British navy espe-
cially aa regards the matter of trans-
Sorts. I believe that America will pro-
uce all the oil that la necessary In the
various grades that are needed. Just
now the principal need Is for tankers te
carry the oil over in. Also tankers for
your own needs In this conntry. -1 have
been greatly Impressed with the manner
In' which munition planta augar factories
and various other Industrie In thla coun-
try are dependent upon oil for fuel."
SHIPS ARE
URGENT NEED. - .
In referring' to th (hipping problem
Sir Frederick declared that "(hips are
what I needed and to get supplies to
the allies Is the thing just now. I have
been greatly impressed with the keen-
ness of everyone I have come in con-
tact with at the various plant I have
visited .from the heads down to the
humblest employe. They all realise what
they have to do."
Sir Frederick said he was areatly im
pressed with what he had seen of Hous
ton especially camp Logan which he
visited Thursday. He waa shown over
the entire camp by General Bell - and
witnessed much of .the routine of the
camp.
In his talk at the luncheon tendered
him Thursday noon he said It was about
11 years ago that the British admiralty
decided to take up the use of fuel oil
na at mat time ne nad ' much to do
rith purchasing supplies and contract
ing for war vessels for the admiralty.
In making a study of the oil situation
he decided that aa adequate supply
could be obtained. "Some of It must
come from Mexico but most of it from this
territory. Texas fields have furnished
from three-fourths to four-fifths of the
oil used by the British navy" he said.
"Texas furnishes the finest quality of
oil even superior to mat ot Mexico
which' contains sulphur."
He mentioned visits he paid to ship
building plants in various sections of
the country and urged that the ship
building program be speeded up aa much
as possible.
"I have visited many diff erent . sec-
tions of your country and I know the
fine spirit of patriotism of your people.
I have seen your soldier and aailors
In training and they are aa fine a body
of men as any in the world" ha de-
clared. The speaker also paid tribute to the
oil Interests of this city for the fnsnner
In which they have handled British
government contracts In the past and
expressed th belief that the same fine
spirit would characterize all future deal-
ings of this nature.
it was on 'an Investigation conducted
by himself that the British navy ex-
tended the use of fuel oil which also
was taken up fy the French and Italian
navies especially at the time when Texas
oil Interests were looking for foreign
markets.
D. S. Cage presided at -the luncheon.
which was attended by about SO mem-
