Ralph E. Wagers, Christian Science,
Lecturer, Talks To Madison Group
When men learn to understand
Jheir true sonship with God they
experience healing of difficulties
Talph E. Wagers, Christian Sci
ence lecturer, told a Madison
-♦.idience December 5. The lecture
jvas broadcast over radio station
•WMOC.
This understanding is avail
able today as in Jesus' time and
ran be applied to human problems
-as in Bible times. Mr. Wagers
declared. He said that if the
■teaching^ of Jesus seem far re
moved from practical life, we
are wrongly regarding them—"we
are looking through the wrong
end of our binoculars.” He em
phasized he was talking about
the use of Christianity to heal
the sick as well as to benefit
people in other ways.
Mr. Wagers, who talked on
‘Christian Science: Its Revelation
of Divine Sonship." was brought
to Madison by the Christian
Science Society. He is now on
extended lecture tour from his
home in Chicago. He spoke in the
Christian Science Church, and '
was introduced by Neil H. Bowles.
Mr. W’agers challenged the
view that the benefits of Chris
tianity belong primarily to the
past, or to a life hereafter.
“To believe that Jesus sought
to save men from a dreaded

1 future, while leaving them'
vulnerable to all sorts of suffer- I
ing, wretchedness, disappoint- i
ment. and catastrophe in the ,
present, certainly does not do ;
justice to the Master's mission,"
he declared. “Did not he say,
I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it
more abundantly’?”
Jesus’ works were "natural and *
normal demonstrations of divine i'
power." Mr. Wagers went on. He ■ '
declared that many have found j ,
that Christian Science makes '
these teachings ‘“available and de- j 1
monstrable in meeting our pro- : *
blems today.” | c
“Through the Master’s teach- ।
ing that man is the son^of God, I,
I Christian Scientists today are I
gaining such a spiritual concept ' (
lof man that it is already trans- | ,
forming their lives; it is making !
them healthier and happier; it j •
is making them conscious that ' j
such demonstrations as Jesus j
made are possible to them in this
present time,” the lecturer de- j
dared. “It is convincing them (
that divine sonship is something ,
which they may rightly claim for
themselves,with all the practical
benefits such an acknowledge
ment involves.”
As an example he told of a
man in a tuberculosis sanatorium
who was given a copy of the
’hristian Science textbook, “Sci
■nce and Health with Key to the
criptures” by Mary Baker Eddy,
t a time when he was growing
teadily worse. The man found his
onsciousness illuminated as he
ead and reread the book, and
iis condition suddenly growing
better. Within three months he
vent back to work, and has never
’ad a recurrence of the difficulty.
He spoke also of a woman w’ho
id been badly injured in an air
aid at Singapore, but learned of
Christian Science while seeking
refuge on the island of Java. The
woman’s whole situation im
proved as she learned more about
God and man’s sonship with Him.
A medical diagnosis doomed her
to life in a steel brace because of
her injury, but she was com
pletely healed of this and other
difficult es.
“That Christian Science heals
the sick is a proven fact,” Mr.
Wagers commented.
“Healing in Christian Science
is mental,” he explained, “but it
is more than merely trying to
convince yourself that you are not
ill when there is evidence that
you are. Nor is it what might be
termed mere faith healing. The
right approach is this: that as
human thought grasps something
of spiritual Truth and gains there
by some sense of the divineness
of all true being, the spiritual
idea has a transforming and
redeeming effect upon human
experience.”
Mr. Wagers is a member of
The Christian Science Board of
Lectureship.

Around The Thanksgiving Table
The leavings of the Thanksgiv
ing turkey are now only hash.
The three green candles ar
ranged diagonally in the fruit
center piece have burned too low
for use, except for some future
ice storm. The beautiful fruit
has been eaten, and the glossy
Magnolia leaves, which gleamed
in the candle light around the
center piece, have dried and
curled. But the spirit of Thanks
giving. 1950 remains in the heart
to cheer through the months
ahead.
In the memory is a snap-shot
of each person around the satiny

Midgie adding: “If I wear my
gray hat a fourth winter folks
will be inquiring, ‘Who is that
lady who wears the same gray
hat year in and year out ’and
just changes the feather?”
Aunt Rosa: “I think it’s nice

ter I had to make an unexpect
ed trip and I ’’dn’t have a new
hat. I had a beautiful purple
velvet but it needed new trim
ming. I grew some lovely Bach

them. I used them as trimming
and they were just perfect!”
Silver Haired Gram chuckling:
"That was a novel idea. I never
would have thought of using
Bachelor Buttons, but I can;
imagine they were pretty.”
Black Haired Gram: Little
Rosa needed some gold on her
hat so she used a Chore Girl

added, indicating the little gold
bags stuffed with fruit which
were the basis of the center
piece.

Georgia Producing
High Quality Corn,
Agronomist States
Rapid ncrease in the acreage
of better adapted hybrids, in
creased use of fertilizer and bet
ter cultural practices are result
ing in higher quality corn in
Georgia, believes J. B. Preston.
Extension Service agronomist.
Mr. Preston pointed out that i
the old rule of 80 pounds of corn i
in the shuck does not apply to I
the kind of corn being produced I
today. “In many instances,” he '
said, "80 pounds of corn in the j
shuck is shelling out 60 or more I
pounds of corn,” He compared I
this with the old standard of
56 pounds.
In a few cases, as low as 70 ’
pounds of the new hybrid, Dixie
18. in the shuck has shelled out
56 pounds of corn. This hybrid
was developed at the Coastal
Plain Experiment Station, Tif
ton.
Fifty-six pounds of corn shell
ed from 70 pounds of com in
the shuck gives a shelling per
| centage of 80 percent. “The old
standard has been 70 percent,"
Mr. Preston stated.
“In addition to producing high
yields in the huck, some of the
new hybrids are actually shell
ing out four to seven percent
more grain," the agronomist
said. “This should be taken into
consideration when selling, buy
ing or feeding corn,” he advised.
Mr. Preston oeneves that one
reason for the high selling per-
he^Hh, and family affa.rs. Who you will marry and whan IIL
