Christian Science

A lesson-sermon on Life" will be
delivered Sunday. in all branches
of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ. Scientist, in Bos-
ton. Mass.
One of the Scripture selections
in the lesson-sermon presents the
following exhortations from Deu-
teronomy; "All the commandments
which I command thee this day
shall ye observe to do, that ye
may live. and multiply, and go
IN and possess the land which the
Lord sware unto your fathers /.
And He humbled thee, and suffered
thee to hunger, and fed thee with
mama, which thou knewest not,
neither did they fathers know;
that He might make thee know
that man doth not live by bread
only. but by every word that pro-
ceedeth out of the mouth Of the
Lord doth man live"
A correlative pasasge from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy,
states: Being is holiness, har-
mony, immortality. 1t is already
proved that a knowledge Of this,
even in small degree, will uplift the
physical and moral standard OF
mortals, will increase longevity, will
purify and elevate character: Thus
progress will finally destroy all cr-
ror. and bring Immortality tc
light"

When bread is cut thick for

ly covered after toasting to keep it
hot, all the points in favor of toast
are lost. The thickness of the
bread prevents the heat from pene-

Covering the hot toast produces
