on Christian Science,
a False Religion

Christian Science, a False Reli-
giop." is the second study in the
series of false religions which the
Rev. G. e. Hawes, pastor, is deliver
ing at Market Square Church. This
subject is a live one. The teachings
of this cula the relation to the
blood of God" to the atoning work
of Jesus Christ on the cross, will
receive special mention. II am not
SO much concerned about the reput-
ed cures of these people," said DR..
Halves. The physicians can settle
this point of difference between them
and these reputed healers. My con-
crn is to try to innoculate people
against the teachings which deny
every vital, fundamental teaching of
the Bible on the subject of salvation.
People who are poisoned with this
stuff will not be helped by this

his son Judas. the Maccabee and his
valiant brethren: their loyalty to the
faith of their fathers, and their vic
tory over Antiochus, King of Syria
who had waged a relentless war of
determination against the religion of

heroic warfare against their power

ing rededication. In temple and
home, the seven-branched candle
stick is lighted and special prayers
are offered. The suggestive symbol
