CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

The subject of the lesson-sermon will be Life"
 The Golden Text is taken from I John 5:11: "This is the record. that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son..
 The Bible readings include the following passages from Proverbs i11:19 and Romans 8:5, 6: "As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth 1t to his own death. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spirit uaiiv minded is life and peace"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "science and Health with Key to the scrip tures." by Mary Baker Eddy in- clude the following citation rom page 492:3-12: "For right reason. ing there should be but one fact before the thought. namely. spirit uai existence. In reality there IS no other existence, since liie can- not be united to its unlikeness, mortality. Being Is holiness. har- mony, immortality. It is already proved that n knowledge Of this. even in small degree. will uplift the physical and moral standard or mortais, will increase longevity. will purify and elevate character. Thus progress will finally destroy all error. and bring immortality t0 light"

 Out in Missouri where he was born, and in Iowa where he was taken at the age of seven, he early acquired the reputation of being a prodigy. At five or six he was composing poetry, and at twelve he was seeking a publisher to issue a volume of his collected poems. His work teddy is pretty well divid- ed by the novels of New York life ana short stories of small town life. After a long stretch of work on a novel, he finds rest in a change of theme and writes a short story usually on small town theme.
 At private banquet of the Sons of the Revolution in Washington in January 1926, MT Hughes made an extemporaneous speech in which he insisted on the great ness of Washington stripped of fable. He repeated verifiable facts about Washingtons habits and &C., tivities. There were no reporters to take stenographic record oi the speech but an editor published a garbled report and then the in. terest began. The story went all over the world. MT Hughes thought it all over, and the result was his biography of George
 Although MT Hughes best work Is as a biographer, he has devoted most of his time to writing pop. i ular novels. These include: "Wha, will People Say?" "The Cup oi Fury" "Souls for sale," "No One Man" In addition, he has writ ten a number of plays for the stage and written and directed numbers of motion pictures. He is the composer of "A Riley AL bum," "Cain," and other songs. Early in life MT Hughes showed an inquiring mind. When his mother asked him what he want ed for a present. he always said Bring me a biography of some, body" His playmates nicknamed him History"
 Mir Hughes served from private to captaincy with the National Guard of New York. He was ca ptain in the Mexican border ser vice during 1916. He became as- sistant to the adjutant during the World war, was made captain of infantry, and appointed a major He is still & major in the reserve corps, hence, the title, Major that his friends use in addressing him,
