Europe Preparing
For War, Speaker
Tells Rotarians

War-lrightcncd Europe rapidly is
approaching a chaotic state of fear
and frenzy. Mrs. Rita Freeman
Reardon told the Ell Centro Rotary
club Thursday.
Mrs. Reardon recently returned
from her fourth journey to Europe.
England was pictured as openly
and rapidly preparing for war. 1t
is generally said there. that Eng
land was unprepared for the late
World war and now intends not to
enter a conflict until ready, she
said
There is no doubt among the
English but that war will come"
she said. They speak OF the war
as an accepted fact. just as casually
as we in this country talk of the
next crop. England expects to be
fully prepared by the summer OF
1889"
In Belgium. the war psychology
runs with high intensity, she said.
There, again, no doubt exists as
to a coming conflict, and everyone
in his or her daily work, plans
what Will be done when Mars again
intrudes upon national boundaries.
The same preparation even per-
vades Switzerland, she said. She
described the construction of un-
derground caves to house popula-
tions when the time comes.
France. she declared, was COM
pletely confused, adding that this
was the only country where no
definite public unity of thought
seemed to prevail. In Italy, she
said, the people are strongly be-
hind King Emmanuel, who dislikes
German methods anG is against
war.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

God the PreServer of Man is
the subject of the LeSSon-Sermon
on Sunday in all Churches Of
Christ, Scientist. These words from
the Psalms are the Golden Text:
Withhold not thou thy tender mer-
cies from me, o Lord: let thy loving
kindness and thy truth continually
preserve me-"
A Scriptural selection in the Les
Son-Scrmon includes these verses
from First Kings: And it came to
pass after these things. that the son
of the woman. the mistress of the
house, fell sick; and his sickness
was 50 sore, that there was no
breath left in him. And she said
unto Elijah. What have l to do
with three. o thou man of God? art
thou come unto me to call my sin
to remembrance, and to Slay my
son? And he said unto her. Give
me thy son. And the LORD
heard The voice of Elijah; and the
soul Of the child came into him
again, and he revived. And the
woman said to Elijah, Now by this
I know that thou art man of God.
and that the word of the LORD in
thy mouth is truth"
This passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
by Mary Baker Eddy, is also pre-
sented Scientific healing has this
advantage over other methods, -
that in it Truth controls error"
