CHRISTIAN SCIENCES CHURCHES

MAN." was the subject of the les
sop-sermon on Sunday, March s,
1881, in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist.
Golden Text: "The steps of a
good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way"
(Psalms 1929.
Among the citations which COM
prised the lessOn-sernon was tile
following from the Bible: II have
made the earth, and created man
upon it: /, even my hands, have
stretched out the heavens, and all
their host have I commanded" >"
isaiah 45:12).
The 1esson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: Man
reflects inflnity, and this reflection is
the true idea of God. God expresses
in man the infinite idea forever de-
veloping itself, broadening and rising
higher and higher from a bOundless
basis. The infinite principle is re-
flccted by the infinite idea and spir-
itual individuality, but the material
so-called senses have 10 cognizance
of either principle or its idea. The
human capacities are enlarged and
perfected in proportion as huminity
gains the true conception of man and
God" (p. 25S).
Habits make the man, and some
fines break him.

WHICH CONTAINS THE MOST
COPPER, A NICKEL OR A PENNY

There is more copper in. the Unit
cd States five-cent piece, commonly
known as the nickel, than there is in
the United States one-cent piece,
commonly called the penny. The
fve-cent piece contains rs per cent
of copper and 25 per cent of nickel,
that is, 57.S7 grains of the former
and 1929 grains of the latter: while
the one-ccnt piece contains IS per
cent of copper and five per cent of
tin and zinc, that is, $3.50 grains of
the former and 2.lO grains of the
two alloys. Thus il will be seen that
there are 1921 grains more copper
