CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church service
report for Sunday. December "a.
Subject, christian Science"
Golden text: Isaiah 52:9. Break
forth into joy, sing together, ye waste
places of Jerusalem: for the Lord
hath comferted his people, he hath
redeemed Jerusalem.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon; / John 1;3 and l Thess. 5:
1921. That which we have seen and
heard declare we unto you, that We
also may have fellowship with us:
and truly our fellowship il with the
Father. and with his Son Jesus
Christ. Thess. 5:19. Quench not the
Spirit 20. Despise not prophesyings.
81. Prove all things; hold fast that
which is good.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Christian Science reveals ineontro-
vertibly that Mind is All-in-all, that
the only realities are the divine Mind
and idea. This great fact is not, how
ever. seen to be supported by sem
sible evidence, until its divine Prin-
ciple is demonstrated by healing the
sick and thus proved absolute and
divine. This proof once seen, no other
conclusion can be reached.

Besides the election of officers.
considerable other business was dis

banquet was made by Pennewill
Isaacs. the present president 1t was
decided that record of all seeds and
magazines sold by each individual

of what he contributed toward bakes
and what work he did to help ont the
chapter treasury-and the value OF
such to he deducted from the amount
OF money he has to pay for transpor-
tation on next summer trip. In

FIXING THE BUDGET

The Director of the Budget finally
got his picture in the paper when he
went to the front to talk with the
President about Government debts
and credits. AT this time of the year
there is a lot of fancy bookkeeping
done by the Government in which
many what-nots are separated from
direct income and outgo.
While one hears a good deal of
talk about new economies, and
cheese-paring, of Federal finances
the fact remains that the Army and
Navy, aviation, shipping, lending,
good neighbors and a thousand other
expenses that involve the nation will
run sky high at this session of Con-
gress.
If you happen to have a Senator or
Representative who has an idea
about making taxes less and holding
the national debt down below the As
billion dollar limit you can take it
from your Washington correspond
ent that you should encourage him
to remember his good Intentions
when appropriation bills come be-
fore Congress.
1t seems that all classes of people
all over the country have bad cases
of the "gimmies." Unfortunately
they think that Uncle Sam is Santa
Claus That's pretty bad with
Christmas near at hand.

CHRISTMAS EVENTS
PLANNED FOR COLONY
tcontInued from First pafe,

In some instances clubs have chosen
children from their own eommuni.
ties, while in others they have asked
the Colony to assign children. In ad-
dition TO the boxes sent for specific
children, some groups have in past
years made up a box for general dis
tribution. This has helped greatly
tc care for those who received no in
dividual packages.
Colony authorities strive to gain
for the enrollees. as nearly as poss-
ible, home-like Christmas atmOs-
phere. They emphasize group sing
ing. group playing and group obsef-
vance of the Yule season. This is
thought not only to give increased
happiness to the children. but to aid
them toward possible mental I'M
provement that will justify their re-
turn TO society.
Considerable value is attached TO
gift boxes sent by various Organiza-
tions, i'm that they serve In many in
stances to furnish presents for chill
dren who might otherwise suffer a
feeling of neglect.
And so. nine large Sussex county
families" will observe Christmas
some with ample presents from their
families, some with gifts from kind
ly Organizations. but all with feel
ing Of being well provided for!

SUSSEX THEATRE NOTES

Drums Along the Mohawk" prom
ises to be the high spot of the COM
ing film season in Georgetown. Finn
ed in the latest technicolor, with
Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda
in the starring roles, this picture
brings unsurpassed action to the
screen of the Sussex Theatre when
it opens Christmas Day and plays
for two days only. The story is based
on the great best selling novel by
Walter d. Edmonds of the stirring
days of adventure. when America
was young. The action is set in New
York's peaceful. beautiful Mohawk
Valley and depicts the colonists un-
der the savage onslaught of the saw
age Iroquois. Its historical back
ground should be especially inter-
esting to all high school students.
