 Christian Science" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Isaiah 11:9: "The earth shall be full oi the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea-"
 Bible readings include the follow. ing passage from Mathew 5:17: Think not that am come to de- stroy the law, or the prophets: l am not come to destroy, but to fulfill"
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Divine Truth, Life, and Love gave Jesus authority over sin, sickness, and death. His mission was to reveal the Science of celes- tial being, to prove what God ia and what He does for man. :. Our Master taught no mere theory, doctrine or belief. It was the divine Principle of all real being which he taught and practised. His proof of Christianity was no form or system of religion and worship, but Christian Science, working out the harmony of Life and Love-" (page 26: :l4, 28-3O.

SON BLAMED FOR
 MOTHERS INJURY
Connecticut Co, ROIle Ben- son ExOnerated in Opin-
 ion of Judge

A mothers injuries were today attributed to the negligence of her son in a Judgment handed down ir the court of common pleas by Judge Edward J. Finn, which exempted Rollie Benson and the Connecticut Company from any negligence in an accident on East Main street September l, 1886.
 Damages of $10000 had been asked in a suit brought by Mrs Florence Hunter against Rollie Benson and the Connecticut Con- pany. Mrs. Hunter was a passenger in an automobile driven by her son which collided with that of Rollie Benson. The Connecticut Company was involved because the plaintiff alleged a bus of that firm had pull cd out sharply from the curb and been an accessory to the crash.
 Judge Finn heard the trial of the case several weeks ago. He says to- day, Hunters carelessness was alone responsible for his mothers injuries" Commenting on the po- sition of the bus he says that the bus did not swing too sharply from the curb nor did 1t leave the curb at excessive speed, as alleged by the plaintiff.

cd in 1873 as the symbol of the Jewish Publication Society of America.
 Many believe that the Magen David, like the mezuzah, is a symbol of tho protective powers exercised by God in behalf of the Jew. Thus the star appears over the door of hte synagogue as does the mezuzah over the door of Jewish homes. Not by any of It's names was the star mentioned in Biblical or Tal- mudic literature, this because of the Jewish view of God which permits no images of Him and was and still is opposed to the acceptance of any symbols.
 Its use was first noted in a Jewish tombstone at Tarentum, southern Italy, which may date as early as the third century of the common era: the earliest mention of 1t in Jewish litera- ture was in the twelfth century. The symbol probably did not originate with Rabbinism. the official dominant Judaism for more than 2,000 years, but was probably derived bw the Cabal from the Templars.
 0. What branches of the Protestant faith, if any, do not believe in the Immaculate Con- ception?
 A. On Dec. 8, 1854, Pope Plus TX defined that "the doctrine which declares that the most Blessed Virgin Mary. in the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God. in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the human race, was preserved exempt from all stain of original sin. is a doctrine re- vealed by God, and therefore must be believed firmly and constantly by ali the faithful" This is a doctrine held by Cath olics and not by any branches of the Protestant faith.

 The messages from Genesis that we have been studying during the last quarter are linked for review with the powerful sermon on faith in the 11th chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews.
 The author of that chapter, seek ing to enforce the nature and pow CT of faith, drew illustrations from these stories in Genesis, giving ua an example of the proper use that we ourselves may make of these stories from the childhood of a race.
 Two precautions are necessary In our reading, studying, and teach ing of these lessons if we would in- terpret them correctly, and derive from them their moral and spiri- tual lessons.
 We must remember that they are stories that come from the early history of an ancient people, and like all such stories, they were gathered together by later writers who sought to record and treasure for the people their spiritual his- tory. They arc stories full Of east crn imagery.
 On the other hand, their moral and spiritual teaching is not to be lightly esteemed because 1t is in this ancient setting. If we read the old Testament intelligently, we can sec how the conception sf God grew in the minds of dcvout Irsael- ties.
 The thought of tribal God con- cerned primarily for themselves as chosen race gradually enlarged until in such book as the Book of Jonah we have a conception of 8

Weekly Sunday School Lesson - MESSAGES FROM GENESIS
Text: Hebrews 11:S-1O. 17-22

God of grace and love concerned for all people.
 Tn the later chapter of the Book of Isaiah we have the representa- ton of the suffering servant, re- vealing the cxpiation of the inno- cent for the guilty that found its fulfillment in the atonement of Jesus and in the Christian doctrine of the cross.
 But to view these stories just as ancient tales reflecting the con- ception of a tribal God is to miss something of the reality of the faith and moral integrity that were at the very foundation of this larg- CT conception of the God of the whole universe, a God of mercy and justice.
 There is the story, fof instance. of the conflict between tlIc hcrds- men of Abraham and Lot, and of Abraham's fine attitude of peace and willingness to set peace about his own material interests. There is the revelation in Jacob of the finer qualities in a man that strive for mastery in the presence of trickcry and deceit and the temp tation to see nothing in life but his own interests. There is the sermon on forgiveness and magnanimity. virtues that we surely have not conspicuously attained in our mod crn world, that is preached 50 clear ly in the powerful story of Joseph,
 The fact is that when we seek the moral and spiritual element in these ancient stories. we find things that speak to us concerning all the needs and problems of our life today, and suggest the moral and spiritual clements that we must recognize If we would build aright in our individual lives and in so- ciety.
 The study of primitive society makes clear basic facts and prin- ciplcs that are apt to be lost sight of in a complex society. For in- stance, in the patriarchal era that we have been studying the herds man who grabbed a well for him. self was an anti-social and ungod- ly man.
 We do not always see so clearly that men who do what corresponds to that in modern society are equal ly anti-social and ungodly. Gene sis has much to teach.

c. Why does the Catholic church oppose sterilization of the unfit?
 A. A Catholic spokesman re- plies: Because. in the opinion of the church, sterilization of the unfit impairs the integrity of the body; would possibly lead to immoral practices worse than the evil avoided; would en- courage the abuse of matri- monial relations; would not act as a punishment for criminals nor a deterrent to crime. The church holds that sterilization is not permissible, except as a nec- cssary means to bodily health, and consequently except for this necessity may not be per- formed even with the patients consent.
 The church has never regard ed the marriage of the unfit as unlawful in itself. They cannot be deprived of their right with out 6 grievous reason. But the effect of the laws of the church regarding matrimony Is to make the marriage of the unit most improbable. The church has no objection to segregation of the unfit from healthy and sane members of society, but 1t in- sistS on all due safe guards for their proper care.
 Q. What Is the meaning of the star seen on Jewish syna- gogues?
 A. The six-cornered star gen- erally seen on the facade of the JewSih synagogue is variolisly known as the Star of David, David Shield and the Magen David. This hexigram formed by the combination of two equi- lateral triangles is universally recognized as q symbol 10 Jula- ism.

So were oil of the Morgans, They lived out here many years ago, at 0 time when oil of the children were young and active. and when the family was widely known among the old time families of this seo- ton of tho city.
 Willie Morgan is the name we used to apply to him. He was quiet in manner, Q deep thinker, nnd Q good friend.
