CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The Lesson Sermon on Sunday in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
cites for its Golden Text this verse
from jeremiah, Sing unto the
Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he
bath dClvered the soul of the poor
from the hand of cvildoerS." and
dcnounccs ancient and modern nee
romancy, alias mesmcrism and hyp-
nOtSm.
One of the Scriptural selections
includes these verses from Num-
bcrS: And the Lord put a word in
Balaam's mouth and said, Return
unto Balak, and thus thou shalt
speak . How shall 1 curse, whom
God hath not cursed? And
Balak said unto Palaam, What hast
thou done unto me? l took thee to
curse mine enemies, and, behold,
thou hast blessed them altogether
And the Lord met Balaam, and put
word III his mouth, and said, Go
again unto Balak, and say thus -.
God is not man, that he should
lie; neither the son of man. that he
SllOult' ilpCilC. IIdlll ilt OAHU, diiu
shall he not do it? or hath he spok-
en-, and shall he not make it good?
Behold, 1 have received command
mcnt to bless: and he hath blessed;
and l cannot reverse it,"
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy states: I'm
the Science of Mind, you will soon
ascertain that error cannot destroy
error. You will also learn that in
Science there is no transfer of evil
suggestions from one mortal to an
other, for there is but one Mind,
and this ever-present omnipotcnt
Mind is reflected by man and gov
crnS the entire universe"

SienoIs Were Changed
Between Halves

They changed signals between the
halves. and just when I thought I
knew the hit-and-run sign, a Nor
gan partner took the chestnut colt
I wanted by lifting three fingers.
And not very high, at that.
Last year there was yearling on
sale that I figured I could have for
the asking. There he was, the
nucleus of the Lardner stable. Just
as I prepared to hurl my bid, four
Goulds stood up in front of me to
get hamburger, and the horse
went for SIS to Joe the Bite, a char
acter who had wandered in by mis-
take and thought he was bidding
on fur coat
Afterward, I asked the auctioneer
II he could spare a goat, or at least
an Notwithstanding to build a
stable with.
Nope" he said, but I've got
three goldfish up at the hotel. See
me in the morning"
They are not going to foist any
goldfish off on Ace-Deuce Lardner.
This year I will get me a horse II
