Golden Text: John 8:12. I am the
light of the world: he that follow
eth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life. A
bible citation from the lesson SER
mon: Acts 1868. Then Peter said,
Silver and gold have 1 none; but
such as 1 have give 1 thee: In the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk. Z. And he took
him by the right hand, and lifted
him up: and Immediately his feet
and ankle bones received strength.
s. And he leaping up stood, and
walked, and entered with them into
the temple, walking, and leaping,
and praising God. Correlative from
the Textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: If sickness is
real, it belongs to immortality; if
true, it is a part of Truth. But if
sickness and sin are illusions, the
awakening from this mortal dream,
or illusion, will bring us into
health, holiness, and Immortality |
This awakening is the forever COM
ing of Christ, the advanced appear
ing of Truth, which casts out error
and heals the sick. This is the sal
vation which comes through God, /
the divine Principle, Love, as dem
onstrated by Jesus.

COUNCIL NEWS
Xmas Trees Should be RemOv-
ed Before Becoming Dry
and Easy to Catch Fire
SHOULD PUT TOYS AWAY

Housewives 1t is time to take
down the Christmas tree. Of course
you hate to see Christmas slip into
history for another year, but don't
let sentiment delay you in remov-
ing the tree. The Delaware Safe
ty Council warns that the tree Be-
comes fire hazard when it begins
to dry.
Boys and Girls.-Don't forget to
put away those dandy Christmas
toys when you are through playing
with them. If you leave them on
the floor or on the stairway, some
body might step on them and get
hurt. Besides, you wouldn't want
your toys broken. So obey your
mother and put them safely away.
Men.-When you wake up these
cold winter mornings to find that
snow has blanketed the ground, do
you pull the covers up around your
neck and wait until the last mo-
ment before dashing to your work ?
Why not get up a little earlier
and scoop the snow off the steps
and walk? It may save some
member Of your family from a bad
spill. Unless snow is shoveled
away soon, it becomes hard-pack-
ed and icy. Then, the Safety Coun-
Gil warns, cinders and salt are nee
essary to prevent falls.
Motorists.-Do you wish you
could look into the future? Well,
you don't need a crystal ball to
predict the newspaper headlines the
day after New Years, the Della
ware Safety Council points out.
You can see them now, in bold,

such players as were available and
of known fair ability.
The fans will readily recognize such
names as Hall, Polite, Luce and Reh-
bein. These tossers were on the team
last year, and all gave pretty good
account of themselves, and Manager
Kingdom thinks pretty well of them.
Other newcomers are, Rolf, at first
base; Stein, in center; Heffner, in
right; and Kingdom will cover second.
The lineup for yesterdays game
with fredericksburg was as follows:
Nelson, left; Hall at short; Rolf at
first; Stein in center; Heffner, right;
Kingdom at second; Polito, third;
Davis behind the bat; and Luce, pitch
ing. The game here today friday
will lbe played in the afternoon begin
ming at 3 o'clock, and the pitching will
probably be taken over by Rock or
Valentine. The results of these games
cannot be given in detail until next
week.
The club at the present time is down
to sixteen players. Harry Young, LIST
base; Glenn Snyder, LIST Base; and
Leon Edwards, pitcher have been Civ
en- their release. The reserves that
are left are Lott, pitcher; Brown,
catcher; Sansosti, fielder; and Ko-
peck, pitcher.
All interested in promoting base
ball in Pocomoke, owners as well as
patrons, are alive to the fact that the
fans are no different here from what
they are in other places-they like
to see good ball and will patronize
good ball. There is no demand for
pennant winner, but the support &C.
corded a tail-end team only shows
what would be given to bunch that
would land in the first division. But,
backing will not be forthcoming for
combination that will put up an ar
ticle of playing which will enable the
crowds to tell how they are going to
end before they are played. And this
goes for winning as well as losing
team. No real sport wants to see
one-sided play.
The city has shown its willingness
to cooperate with the promoters, as
is evidenced by the half-holiday pro-
claimed by the Mayor. It is reason
able to suppose that this is proof of
feeling that base ball is good adver-
tiser of a city, and therefore should
be encouraged. Last year, when the
team was consistently losing, the at
tendance dropped off; but after the
boys showed five-hundred base ball,
the crowds grew.

Visit of Gen. Monteiro

is the second leading Brazilian
official to visit Washington within the
past four months. Although his trip
is courteous return for the recent
visit to Brazil of Brigadier General
George c. Marshall, next American

make of the American military
establishment.
Even before he landed Tuesday

treated to laundering display of

ton. The Navy Department is
keenly aware of the desirability Of
increasing submarine safety. 1t Is
neglecting no opportunity to do SO.
The public should be assured that no
safety device which shows promise
is rejected without thorough study
and a careful weighing of values"
The obvious conclusion is that no
perfect mechanical device has yet
been developed by man. 1t is equally
obvious that the Navy should spare
no pains to reduce one by one the
possible causes of mechanical failures
in its submarines. This can be done
only through thorough, unceasing
research, which should be an inte-
gral part of our submarine program.
