CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

"BleSSeth is the man that en-
dureth temptation: for when he Is
tried, he shall receive the crown
of life, which the Lord hath prom
ised to them that love him." This
verse from James is the Golden
Text in the Lesson Sermon on Pro
baton After Death on Sunday in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist.
The LeSSon-Sermon includes these
verses from Revelations who shall
not fear thee, o Lord, and glorify
thy name? for thou only art holy:
for all nations shall come and Wor-
ship before thee; for thy judgments
are made manifest, And l heard
a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God Is
with men, and he will dwell with
them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God. And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: Tor
the former things are passed away
He that overcometh shall in
herit all things; and will be his
God, and he shall be my son."
Among the selections from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is the statement: 1.-The sinless JOY
the perfect harmony and immor-
tality of Life, possessing unlimited
divine beauty and goodness without
a single bodily pleasure or pain
constitutes the only veritable, inde-
structible man, whose being is
spiritual"

Record Attendance Marks Ist
Ten Thousand Club Meeting

If numbers mean anything, the
Woman's Ten Thousand CLUB is
well on the way to one of the most
successful years in its history SINCE
| 1876 women, 65 of whom were new
members, gathered in the clubhouse
Thursday noon for the best attend
ed opening session of any in the
clubs annals.
Perhaps one of the chief attrac-
tion was the program. presented
by the magnetic Rita Freeman
Reardon of San Diego, for many
years a favorite of the club and VINO
on Thursday delighted them with
her account of what she saw III
Europe in 1899.
Sketching with sympathy picture
of a tragic Europe, nerves frayed
by the constant threat OF war 10
the point where former paci1lsts
were ready to welcome war as
relief from the ever-present sense
of impending doom, Mrs. Reardon
graphically described conditions in
Spain, Holland, Italy, France, Eng
land, whose peoples were united IN
their dislike and their fear of the
Nazi government.
Describes Countries
Spain, far from at peace even yet
with its large Catholic royalist
population to whom Naziism is de-
cidedly repugnant; the Italian peo-
pie with their resentment OF Ger
man insistence on sending German
military and efficiency experts to
place the army and key economic
Industries on a more efficient basis;
France, expecting air raids at any
moment and increasing its military
preparations; Holland, calmly pre-
pared to cut it's dikes and let the
salt water in to ruin the land so
patiently reclaimed from the sea;
England, with its civilian popula-
tion constantly on edge with the
air raid drills and preparations for
evacuation-all these countries were
alike in the tensity of atmosphere,
The fear. of Germany and the reali-
sation that war was inevitable.
Throughout her talk the sombre
picture of Europe on the verge OF
war, was relieved from its intensity
,y the gay flashes of humour, the
.eady wit which are characteristic
If Mrs. Reardon. In conclusion she
urged upon her listeners their ap-

All permits or authority of Flock

void, and must be renewed. It is,
therefore, Of paramount Importance
that all hatcherymen, poultry breeders

provided for this purpose.

How sI~ train crashed into tower

could the umpire call it either ball
or a strike, if it was impossible to see
the ball; and how could the catcher
know where to put his hands to catch
it, if the couldn't be seen. The bat
ter and the catcher an dthe umpire
ter and the catcher and the umpire
and it seems to me if two could see
it, the third man ought.
Looks to me like some of these So
called hitters are looking for an alibi.
"You can't hit 'em if you can't see
'em," is more compliment to the
hurler than an excuse for batsman
in the way Of explaining lack Of
hits.
And as for "bean"' balls, dark days,
and so forth, some of these beans"
are made Of "lignum vitae" so far as
real thinking is concerned, and if a
ball should smack 'em good and plenty
some of 'em wouldn't feel it. Reminds
me of that story told by preacher
at the Rotary club recently. He said
that an old farmer had gone so long
without covering for his feet, the soles
had hardened until they were as i'm
penetrable as rhinoceros' hide. Rocks
and stones, thorns and splinters, glass
and rusty nails, had no effect.
One day he went over to neigh
boris to chat a bit. He put his foot
up on a low stone wall and rested his
elbow on his knee while he chatted
and spat tobacco juice. When the
neighbor caught sight Of a big toe
sticking up he mistook it for the head
of a rattle snake. "Hold STILL" he
cautioned, "don't move, I'll kill i"
He gets big stick, raises it high in
air and comes down with a mighty
flop on that big toe.
"Humph" said the owner of the
digit, "you missed him!" So, I think
if some of these bean balls should
strike some of these beans that ball
players carry around with them and
call their "heads", somebody would
have to tell 'em to go to first-they
were hit, they wouldn't feel it. And
as to being unable to see the delivery
of pitchers fast ones-that's to be
taken with a grain Of salt.
