fOW attractive is sj?iritual beau
ty! And how pressing is the
need for it to be more evi
denced and appreciated in human af
fairs. The unselfish deed, the healing
thought, (lie noble outlook all ex
press the beauty of the perfect Life,
the divine Mind, which is God. The
Bihlc declares (Psalms 50:2), “Out
of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God hath shined.”
On page 247 of “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science,
writes: “Beauty is a thing of life,
which dwells forever in the eternal
Mind and rcllecls the charms of His
goodness in expression, form, out
line, and color. It is Love which
paints the petal with myriad hues,
glances in the warm sunbeam, arches
llie cloud with the bow of beauty,
blazons the night with starry gems,
and covers earth with loveliness.”
The one who best expressed on
earth the beauty of perfection was
Christ Jesus. The Gospels inform
us of his youthful desire to be always
about his Father’s business; they tell
us of his habitual meekness in giving
up his own will and his might in do
ing the Will of God, of his gentleness
in binding up the brokenhearted and
his stern rebuke of hypocrisy and
guile. w
The Scriptures also tell us of the
Master’s patient labor of love in
teaching his disciples how to heal
the sick as lie did through the- power
of Truth understood. His clear un
derstanding of God’s omnipotence
and man’s immortality was evi
denced in his fearlessness before all
material threats. He declared man’s
divine Principle of being when he
said (Matthew 5:48), “Be ye there
fore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.” The
basis of the Master’s thought and
action was the perfection of God and
the perfection of man as God’s
spiritual reflection. . . .
If we desire to express “the per-
fectiop of beauty,” the glory of Sou!
must be evidenced in our lives. It
must be manifested in purity, for
giveness, wholeness of he apt, in
strength of spirit, greatness of mind,
loveliness of life. . . .
As we look buck over our lives, is
it not the unselfish service per
formed, the right course taken, the
work well done, the spiritual idea
realized which remains to make the
present hour glad? Will it not be
the beauty of perfection expressed
in our daily lives which will make
our future fruitful and bright? When
we learn to understand God aright,
the desire and design of all our daily
living will be to express His beauty
and goodness. Thus will lasting love
liness be found, but not in outward
show or fading material forms. It
will be discovered and possessed as
we rellect the charm of God’s good
ness, the strength of His mercy, the
wealth of His love. In the words of
the Psalmist (Psalms 90:17), “Let
the beauty of the Lord our God be
upon us.”—Tlic Chrixtiun /Science Mon
itor. ~ “ ~ F •*

which burned cathedral tapers,
surrounded the altar.
Miss Frances Arnold, organist,
presented the nuptial music. She
played “My Hero”, “At Dawning”

Walter McDonald Asks ReeSection.
To s Service Commission on Record
Announcing his candidacy for re- ,
election as a member of the Geor- 1
gia Public Service Commission,
Walter McDonald pointed to his
record of public service on that im
portant body regulating freight, I
transportation and other utility op
erations ip the State, and asked
Georgia voters for an endorsement.
“I am glad to have had a part
in the fight to obtain equalization
of freight rates for Georgia and the
South,” said McDonald, who has
been head of the committee author
ized by the Southern Governors’
Conference to press the fight before
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. “Neither industry nor farm
ing in our State can make real
progress until we can move our
products to market on competitive
rates. This was demonstrated when
we won our first big fight, for bet
ter rates on livestock. I predicted
then that it would mean a new day
for Georgia farmers; this was
borne out last year, when livestock
brought the farmers of our State
more money than cotton, the first
time in a century that cotton has
dropped to second place aS a cash
crop in Georgia."
' McDonald has been a member of
the Public Service Commission
since 1923, and chairman of the
body for the past nine years. He
introduced into the field of utility
regulation the practice of regular
and routine revision of rates
through a conference system, which
avoids periodic, expensive hearings
and which has obtained for Georgia
users of utilities a large number of
reductions, so that the general level
of charges in the State is well below
the national level.
' A native Georgian, Walter Mc
Donald was educated in the county
uchools in Richmond county and at
the Georgia Academy for the Blind.
He obtained his law degree at the
University of Georgia, and after a
successful practice of his profes-
walter McDonald
Chairman
Public Service Commission
sion in Augusta, entered politics as
a member of the General Assembly.
A deep interest in the problems ot
rail and utility regulation led to his
service on the Public Service Com
mission. He is first vice-president
of the National Association of State
Commissioners, and a recognized,
authority upon bates and utility
regulation.
“The prosperity of Georgia farm
ers and the growth of Georgia in
dustry must go hand in hand," Mc
Donald has often emphasized. "The
functions of the Public Service
Commission must be directed to
ward these ends, and to providing
methods by which utility service*
can be extended at reasonable cost
to every citizen, whether a town,
or on the i_
