Among the citations which

The Lesson Sermon also in

from the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Jesus I'M
changed physical condition after
what seemed to be death was
followed by his eXaltation above
ali material conditions; and
this exaltation explained his
ascension, and revealed unmiS-
takably a probationary and pro-
gressive state beyond the grave.
Jesus was the way that is, he
marked the way for all men,"

ness Of great magnitude. The rail-
road this year will have received
over $4,000 alone. Cutters receive
an average of 36c per bundle av-
eraging four trees of which about
one third goes for stumpage. Orders

each truck hauling for loading car
ries an average of 1900. Truckers
