With a vivid description and NOV
ing pictures of her recent trip to
the Orient, Miss Mildred Hubbard
presented a most interesting pro-
gram at the Junior Ten Thousand
club meeting Thursday night.
Miss Hubbard impressed her lis
teners with the natural beauty of
Japan which is augmented by the
artistry of its people.
Shopping in Shanghai was an ex-
citing adventure made pleasant by
the courtesy of Chinese tradesmen,
Miss Hubbard said. The linens and
lingerie, she displayed, were samples
of the finest embroidery and lace,
and her collection of dolls in native
dress was very attractive.
The ornate snrines and temples
made the ancient dynasties seem
close to the present, Miss Hubbard
said. and the carving. inlay and
printing are indescribable.
Government buildings which now
lie in ruin were shown in the tech
nicolor movies Miss Hubbard took
while in China, as well as scenes
of the people in the native habitats
Miss Haruo Kobata, wearing a
beautiful kimono interpretated a
native japanese dance.
AS a part of the program, Miss
Matte Jim Michael and Miss Mar
garet Lanier modelled several fur
coats shown by Mr.. Jacobson, fur
rier at Kings
Miss Jane Tylor, program chair
man, then turned the meeting over

Golden Text in the Lessons Sermon
on Soul and Body on Sunday in
all branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist. in Boston, Massachusetts,.
One of the Bible selections in the
Lesson-Sermon cites these verses
concerning Jesus, from Luke: And
he said unto his disciples. Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought
for your life, what We shall eat;
neither for the body what We shall
put on. The life is more than meat
and the body is more than raj
ment And seek not ye what
We shall eat, or what We shall drink,
neither be We of doubtful mind . =.
But rather seek We the kingdom OF
God; and all these things shall be
added unto you"
The Lesson-Sermon includes also
this correlative passage from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
IF we follow the command of our
Master, Take no thougnG for your
life,' we shall never depend on
economy, but we shall be masters
of the body, dictate its terms, and
form and control it with Truth"

o SHAD come up your rivers
to spawn? The shadbush Is
said to be the ghost mother
- Of the shad that each Spring
comes up the quiet waters to lay eggs.
1t will repay you to look in the
swamps, along the river banks, the
moist thickets or the edges of the
brooks to see if you can find some OF
the dainty blossoms.
Some call this little bush the swamp
sugar-pear on account Of the shape
Of the fruit. The small white flowers
are lovely, and in late March or early
April, sprays of the dainty little BIOS
SONS, hugging close to the stem, are
sighted from afar off. You make your
way through the bare woods. to see
what brave little bush is covered with
balls of snow. You find it is the
shadbush, and the hum of early flying
insects reminds you that Spring IS
we'll on its way and all the living
things are busily engaged in making
the most of their time.
During the early Spring days, if you
have an opportunity to get better ac-
quainted with the shadbush, you will
notice how the flowers and the pale
green, shiny foliage have a sort Of
white woolly coverlet over them. This
is really a white cotton that has Won
derful absorbent qualities, when both
the flowers and the leaves are young
and need protection against the damp
vapors that always arise from such
places during the Spring months.
This little cotton quilt prevents the
pores of the bush from becoming
filled up This is a real case of the
plant actually covering her flower
children when the dampness might
give them a setback if they did not
have this protection.
Visit again this spot when the water
Is running low or even dried up alto
gether. The foliage will not have
q sign of covering, and only the
glossy green of the smooth leaves
may be seen.
Again in June or July, visit this
bush, and it will be laden with pur-
plish fruit that remind you very
much of giant huckleberries. They
are edible and very tasty. Watch
how your friends, the f1ickers, robins
and cedar birds gobble them up.
Most likely many folks know this
bush as the June bush or service berry.

But the Indians, who knew this little
bush well, named it the shadbush. To
them it had very special meaning.
It was at the time the shad ran up
the stream from their home in the
sea and at this time of the year they
could hear the weird sound of the
night hawk on its way north, after
sojourn in the South. To them
the three, appearing at one time,
caused the legend to be repeated to
