Christian Science Churches

Truth" was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon L on Sunday, July 2S,
in all church of Christ, Scientist.
Golden text: Holy Father, keep
through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me, that
they may be one, as we are. Sane
tify them through thy truth; Thy
word is truth" John III; 11,10
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lesson Sermon was the
following from the Bible. Then
said Jesus to those Jews which be-
lieved on him, if we continue in my
word, then are ye my deciples in
deed; And ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free. !"
John S:31 ,32). The Lesson-Ser-
mon also included the following
passages from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Chriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Truth is Gods
remedy for error of every kind and
truth destroys only what is untrue.
Hence the fact, that, today, as yes
terday, Christ casts out evils and
heals the sick" (P. 142-143).

Alaska May Be Dubbed
Original Ellis Island

1t is now evident that America
was originally peopled by immi-
grants from Asia, and it is prob
able that Alaska was the first
scene of human history on the con-
tinent. Edward NJ. Weyer de
scribed at New Haven the relics
yielded by prehistoric villages dis
covered during his explorations in
Alaska. "The American conti-
nents are younger with regard to
human occupation than the East
ern hemisphere, according to
Weyer. THE very first Immigrants
to them, the forerunners of the
American Indians, doubtless came
from Asia. Thus Alaska, which
lies much closer to Asia than any
other part of America, probably
was the gateway through which
passed these early Asiatic immi-
grants.
"The northwestern corner of
North America, therefore, can be
regarded as the first scene of hui
man history in America. No abo-
rigines of Arctic America, so far as
is known, ever used a written lam
guage. Consequently the mute rel
les of material culture are the only
source Of historical information
here. Nevertheless the buried pre-
historic villages of Alaska yield
secrets to the archeologist." Path
finder Magazine.

Famous Carnac Stones
Puzzle to Scientists

The Stones of Carnac in Brittany
are one of the wonders of the age.
Nobody knows when they were
erected, or why. Nowhere through
out Europe can there be seen such
perplexing evidence of an early
race combining the most primitive
simplicity with indications of pro-
found knowledge. Vast alignments
of huge stones attract the eye,
headed or terminated by circles or
dOlmens (tabie stones commonly
called crOmlechs) extending at in
teryalS as far as seven miles to
Lochmariaquer and bulging out in
all directions to Erdeven, st.
Barbe, Kermario, Kerlescan and
the Quiberon. Intersected among
these are tumuli, menhirS, tolmen
(holed stOnes) and engraved stones.
To the casual visitor they are
remnants of stone worship. burying
places or records of conquered
foes and victories past. Their
strange markings are exactly sim
liar to the thumb marks of the hu-
man hand, but done on a large scale
and with wonderful accuracy. The
height of the Egyptian columns and
obelisks is almost exactly the same.
What relation has Carnac with
Egypt?
