Christian Science

mon for Sunday denounces ancient
and modern necromacy, alias mes
merism and hypotism. The same
lesson sermon is presented in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tiSt, in Boston, Mass The golden
text is from Proverbs: DO they
not err that devise evil? but mercy
and truth shall be to them that de-
wise good"
One of the Scriptural selections
in the on-sermon is from James:
From whence come wars and
fightings among you? come they
not hence, even of your lusts that
war in your members? Ye lust,
and have not: ye kill, and desire
to have, and cannot obtain: ye
fight and war, yet ye have not, be-
cause ye ask not Draw nigh
to God, and He will draw nigh to
you. Cleanse your hands, ye sim
ners; and purify your hearts, ye
double minded"
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy, states, Chris
tian Science goes to the bottom of
mental action, and reveals the the
odicy which indicates the rightness
of all divine action, as the eman-
alton of divine Mind, and the con-
sequent wrongness of the opposite
so-called action,-eyil, occultism,
necromancy, mesmerism, animal
magnetism, hynotism."

LITIGATION IN
ANOTHER TANGLE

Ellis-Samaha litigation took a
new lease on life yesterday after
noon as Sam Ellis filed suit in su
perior court against r. Samaha
and Ranges Samaha, asking $10,432
because of another suit brought
by the Samahas against Ellis and
others Of his family, and which
Sam Ellis charges was filed against
him without good faith, but with
the intention to discredit him and
harm his business and credit stand
ing.
The other suit, revolving around
$4,000 promissory note, was the
basis of anattachment levied against
Sam Ellis. This attachment, ac-
cording to the latest complaint,
caused his $4,000 Calexico bank
account to be united for several days,
making it impossible for him to
pay his bills at the usual time and
thus injuring his credit.
Later the attachment was dis
missed because sureties could not
qualify, according to the complaint.
Sam Ellis had not signed the note
which was the basis of the other
suit, his complaint said, further
charging that the Samahas knew
this, but persisted in naming him
as one of the defendants in the
suit.
Besides being forced to hire an
attorney to disqualify the sureties
II, c
he was damaged by injury to his
credit standing, brought about by
publication of news of the suit,
and by sending word of it through
credit report channels.

scene in the boyhood of the great
composer. Robert Schumann, was

The scene was laid in the Schu-
mann library an evening in 1920
and the plot was concerned with
the parents discussion as to the
future Of their son, Robert, his
mother being opposed to his be-
coming a professional musician
but finally yielding to the fathers
wishes.
Ruth Riddle played Father
Schumann; Janet Reid, Mother
Schumann; Helen DoWd, Robert
Schumann, and the other Schu-
mann children, Carl, Juliet, Ed
ward and Emile were played re-
spectively by Barbara Hatch, Bet
ty Cook, Neva Dowd and Mary
