Christian Science

Love" is the subject of the les
son-sermon on Sunday in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
list, in Boston. Mass.
A scripturaI passage includes
these verses about Jesus, from
Luke: And it came to pass in those
days. that he went out into a noun
tain to pray. and continued all nigG
il prayer to God And when it was
day. ne called unto him his dis
ciples. and of them he chose twelve.
whom also he named apostles; 4.
And he came down with them, and
stood in the plain. and the company
of his disciples, and a great multi
tude Of people out Of all Judaea and
Jerusalem, and from the sea coast
of Tyre and Sidon, which came to
hear him, and TO be healed Of their
diseases; and they that were vexed
with unclean spirits; and they were
healed"
One Of the passages from Science
and Health with Key 70 the Scrip
lures by Mary Baker Eddy states:
Divine Love always has met and
always viii meet every human
need It is not well to imagine that
Jesus demonstrated the divine pow
er 10 heal only for a select number
or for a limited period Of time,
since 10 all mankind and in every
hour, divine Love supplies all good" ="

he said.

UNCLE WIGGILY's CUP OF TEA

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily, who had gone adventuing,
got back to his summer cottage in
the woods at Green Lake he found
neither his wife, Nurse Jane nor
any of his bunny children there to
meet him. It was late in the af-
ternoon. The rabbit gentleman had
to go a long way to find an ad-
venture and he didn't return until
nearly supper time.
Hello! Hello! Where's every
body?" called Uncle Wiggily as he
saw none of his family inside or
outside the cottage. What has
happened? Where are you?"
They've gone to the movies, -
said a little Lady Bug, who was Sit

them go. Your wife left a note
fer you on the screen door"
We'll, I'm glad they're all right
and none of the Bad Chaps have

(By United Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 UP) In
their nests from the $10,O00OOO new
supreme court building to the grace
full gardens of the White House
those pesky Washington starlings
were chattering today in high glee.
And they had reason for thefT
glee, too, for the constituted au-
thorities who have been chasing,
frightening and bedeyiling the star
lings for many months-all to no
visible effect were right between
the devil and the deep blue sea on
the startling issue.
In brief the custodians of Wash
ington's miles of tree-fined streets
and acres of parks apparently are
going to have to make up their
minds whether they would rather
have the starlings or the far more
destructive and dangerous japanese
beetles.
This dilemma arose just as the
authorities were about to launch
their mightiest campaign against
the noiSome birds who have caused
Washington citizens more worry
than almost any other problem eX-
cept getting congress out Of town.
Clifford Lanham, district superin-
tendent of trees, had just asked the
PWA for $4,000 for his campaign.
He planned to send men up and

Now he may have to change his

Lanham found a japanese beetle

this week. Never before have the

The beetles are regarded as one

RTGHTING 4 WRONG

By vote of "A to l, the senate has ap
proved bill restoring to Spanish-Amer
lean war veterans. and veterans of the
Boxer and Philippine rebellions, the ben
eftS taken away from them by the in
famous economy bill of 1888.
The bill had been previously passed by
the house and has been sent to the Pres
ident for signature. There is an indlca-
ton he may veto it. though leading DEM
ocrats are urging him not to do so.
The economy bill. designed to remove
the "goldbricker' from the pension list,
instead worked a tragic hardship on
many veterans, the larger number repre-
senting those who fought in the World
war.
BY means of the bill just passed, up
wards of $4,000 pensioners. most of
them well along in years, will be re
turned to the pension rolls.
1t is interesting to note that only one
vote (Senator Hastings of Delaware) was
cast against the bill
The veterans Of the Spanish war and
of the Boxer and Philippine rebellions,
have Jared none too we'll at the hands of
the government they served. 1t is over
35 years ago since they did duty under
terrible hardships and under conditions
which reflected none too admirably on
the efficiency and wisdom of their coun-
try.
There are still many Spanish Ameri-
can war veterans to whom the govern
ment owes money it promised them when
they were serving in the Philippines but
has not as yet seen fit to pay to them.
Practical revocation of the economy
bill gives strength to the hope that ulti-
mately the men who took their govern
ment's word amid the jungles of the
Philippines may yet have that word
made good to them
