God The Preserver Of Man"
will be the subject of the lesson
sermon.
The Golden Text is from Pro-
verbs q: s, 8: 1.-THE Lord giveth
wisdom: 4. He keepeth the paths
of judgment. and preserveth the
way of his saints"
Selections from the Bible include
the following passages from Psalms
las: IL, 10, 20 (to:): "The Lord
upholdeth all that fall. and raiseth
up all those that he bowed down.
He will fulfill the desire Of
them that fear Him: He also will
hear their cry, and will save them.
The Lord preserveth all them that
love Him."
Readings from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy. include the
following: 1.-THE divine Mind that
made man maintains His own
image and likeness. All that
really exists IL the divine Mind and
it's idea. and In this Mind the en-
tire being Is found harmonious and
eternal. The straight and narrow
way Is TO see and acknowledge this
fact, yield 10 this power. and fol.
low the headings Of truth" (page
1bi: 23-24. 2G).

Q. Was Jesus quoting Soc.
rates when he gave the Golden
Rule, and Plato when he said,
I'VE will surely say unto me
this provcrb. Physician heal
thyself?"
A. Parellels to the Golden
Rule may be found In almost
all lliteratures. Perhaps the
nearest Greek analogy is In
Herodotus, Ill, 142, where the
king OF Samos says, what I
punish in my neighbor / will
not do myself" No direct
saying OF the kind is attributed
to Socrates. In all the paral-
lels the Rule Is given In mega
tive form; for instance. in the
famous precept of Rabbi Hill
lei, do not to others what
you do not like done to YOU"
The other saying Is likewise
found in a number of earlier
sources, including Chinese, and
Jesus himself quotes 1t as a
common proverb. Plato does
not use 1t, but there is a Greek
parallel in a fragment of
Euripides. 1t may be said
generally that any Greek CO.
incidence with the sayings of
Jesus Is purely accidental. He
did not hesitate to borrow
when his thought had been
well expressed already, but
always from Jewish sources,
and invariably he put some
thing new into the idea or
brought il into q new context.

sun was made. The word YoM
In the original Hebrew means
epoch, era and the like. The
word was very elastic In usage.
In one place. Chapter l,
verse 6. II means day time as
distinguished from night time;
while In Chapter 2, verses
and S. II means the entire per-
Tod OF creative activity. Dis
tinguished scientists who have
pondered the first chapters of
genesis have come to the con-
clusion that evolution is in no
sense at variance with what is
there set down.
@. why arc the sexes sep
aratcd In Orthodox syna.
gogues?
A. In the oldest churches
men and women were ordin-
arily separated. Similarly. in
the ruins or synagogues OF
the Roman period found In
Palestine, there appears a sep
arate division for the women.
AS q rule. until the early mid
die ages, the seats of the
women and men were sepa-
rated on the floor OF the
synagogue. From the middle
ages. perhaps because of In
sufficient accommodation for the
men. the custom grew up OF
building a separate gallery for
the women. The underlying
purpose OF this separation at
prayer Is to remove possible
ties OF distraction for the wor-
shipper.
Q. il h proper 70 address
q clergyman OF the Episc0-
paiian faith as Father rather
than HiF.?
A. Yes. provided the par
ticular clergyman IL a priest.
rather than q bishop or q
deacon. u is q priestly title.
and therefore improper for a
deacon prior 10 his advance
ment 10 the priesthood.

ReUolUing Stone
In Graveyard Is
ToUn's Curiosity

SULLIVAN. Ill, July 20.UP)-Sci-
ence might explain the rotation of
a heavy granite ball atop tomb
stone in the cemetery here with
such terms as uneven expansion, y
but to Sullivan it is a much more
ghostly phenomenon.
With persistence for the last IS
years, the stone has slowly turned
the name Johnson, carved in large
letters on the side from the hori.
zontal to the vertical. It still turns,
even though masons have cemented
it down and recaryed the name.
This slow rotation has been 60
ing on since 1901. shortly after the
monument was built over the
graves of John and Anna Bell
Johnston who died soon after the
Civil war.
Legends about the sphere have
multiplied with each new genera
ton. UnofficiaIly. scientists dis
count the legends and call attea-
ton to the fact that only two of
four supports holding the stone are
in the sun at one time. But even
they wouldn't be too positive about

ROAD SUPPORT NEEDED

The desirability of fullest support for
the Broadway of America Officially
known from San Diego to Dallas as I. 5.
highway No. 80, is illustrated bv traffic
figures for the month of June compiled
by A. A. Brock, state director of agricul-
ture.
These show that 1O,6O6 automobiles
entered California at Ft. Yuma station
during the month, this figure being 55
per cent Of the total cars entering at
Blythe and Ft. Yuma.
Although the F't Yuma entries show
heaVy increases over May of this year and
June Of last year, the figures also show
that the Blythe entries into the state
have experienced a tremendous increase
in recent years.
A few years tgo Blythe entries were
almost negligible as compared with the
Ft. Yuma entries. Now they are only
few hundred short of equaling the latter
The increase at both stations. is credited
TO the drawing powers Of the San Diego

The heavy increase at Blythe can be
charged to the intensive publicity and

their efforts backed up by the support
of the people generally. Residents who
have friends or relatives in the east plan
ming a trip TO the coast, should strongly
urge the Broadway of America route as
the best and quickest way to reach Cali
fornia.
Highway No. 90 is backed by a road or
ganization which is working hammer and
tongs to increase tourist travel over their
route and the figures show they are sue

Unless the Broadway of America is
given plenty Of national advertising, and
this in turn is backed up by the support
of the public all along the route, it will
be only a matter of a very short time un-
til the bulk of the traffic is shifted to
No. 60. If this is permitted to happen
Imperial Valley will suffer serious loss
of business, which is considerable to
think about.
