CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
's';:''. is CHURCH'S TOPIC

Christian Science" was the
subject Of the lcsson-scrmon in all
Christian Science churches and
societies Sunday.
The golden text was from Isaiah
1910. "The ransomcd of the
Lord shall return, and come to
Zion with songs and everlasting
JOY upon their heads: they shall
obtain JOY and gladness, and sor-
row and signing shall flee away"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lcsSor-sermon was the
following from the Bible: What
doth it profit, my brethren,
though q man say he have faith,
and have not works? can faith
save him? If a brother or sister
be naked, and destitute Of daily
food, Aand one Of you say unto
them, Depart in peace, be We
warmed and filled; notwithStand-
ing We give them not those things
which are needful to the body;
what doth it profit? Even so
faith, if it hath not works, is dead,
being alone. Yea, man may
say, Thou hast faith, and | have
works: shcw me thy faith with
out thy works, and | will shcw
thee my faith by my works. .
DANES 2:l4-1S.)
The lcsson-sermon also included
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence & Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
"Christian Science, understood,

been placed upon it, and the confidence of the in

BAG GRAPES: This is a little
By Noah HOLLOWELL

BAG GRAPES: This is little
advice, though very important,
which | have attempted to take
for 10 days. but neglected to do
to the partial detriment OF my
grapes. Grapes should have been
bagged 10 days ago. Since that
time some pest has punctured the
berries and this means their ruin,
resulting in splitting open and
the seed popping out while green.
Spraying doesn't seem to con-
troll the animal, but if grapes are
bagged it can't get in and sting
the grapes. The grapes were at
tackled last year during the last
week in June and the pest seems
to have set in last week.
KIND OF BAGS: Use bags
similar to those used by the
grocer. No. 4 bags should be used
for varieties that produce large,
long punches. No. 2 and No. 3
will serve for others.
Bags should be tightly closed
around the stem of the grape or
the vine surrounding the stem.
Some use small nails, some pins
and some very small wire cut IN
about siX-inch lengths.
ADVANTAGES: Bags delay ri.
pening a few days but they keep
the grapes in fine shape with a
beautiful bloom and they can be
kept two weeks longer than when
unbagged, giving them much
better flavor. Bagged grapes de-
feat grape-eating birds, bees, yell
low Jackets, wasps, hornets, etc,
which are great enemies, especial
" in and near the city.
OUTLOOK BETTER: Gus
Thomas, just back from a Buick
meeting in Michigan, says the
boys are feeling better and look
ing for a pickup in business I'M
mediately.
READY FOR CLASSES: DR..
f. w. Sumner of Mills River, who
conducted popular class in prac-
teal psychology this spring as a
part of the vocational work given
employees and employers at the
high school for ten nights, has re-
turned with Mrs. Sumner from a
visit in the midwest and is pre-
pared to resume the classes if his
former pupils desire them, but
this work would not be under gov
eminent vocational guidance. The
class expressed the hope that DIR.
Sumner would resume instruc-
tons. 1t is likely they will be
called together to determine their
wishes. The class, if resumed, will
not have employer-employe re-
strictions.
