The regular monthly meeting Of
the Sunshine Scatterers took place
at the home OF Miss Grace Davidson

scrap books for the sick children in
the hospital. Everyone brought pic
lures at this meeting to put in the
book. When we were getting ready
to paste the pictures some one had
forgotten the scrapbooks, so we did
not accomplish much work at this

at the meeting this month. They
were the Misses Esther Bernard and
Dorothy Watson. At every current
meeting each girl answers with q
verse OF scripture and sings a song
which Is called "Our Best"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, August Is, 1870.
Subject: SOUL.
Golden Text: Psalms 66:16 -
Come and hear, all ye that fear God,
and will declare what he hath
done for my soul.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Mark 12:32-34-And the
scribe said unto him, Well, Master,
thou hast said the truth: for there Is
one God; and there is none other
but he; 80. And to love him with all.
the heart, and with all the under
standing, and with all the soul, and
with all the strength, and to love his
neighbor as himself, is more than all
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
"a. And when Jesus saw that he
discreetly, he said unto
him, Thou art not far from the king
dom Of God.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy:
Kingdom Of Heaven. The reign Of
harmony in divine Science; the
realm Of unerring, eternal, and om-
ripotent Mind; the atmosphere OF
Spirit, where Soul is supreme. u.
There is but one way to heaven,
harmony, and Christ In divine
Science shows us this way. Il is to
know no other reality-to have no
0ther consciousness Of life-than
good, God and His reflection, and 20
rise superior to the so-called pain
ind pleasure Of the senses.

SAFETY COUNCIL POINTS
OUT MAIN CAR DEFECTS
CONTINUED from First Page,

vestigated by the state police, there
were 300 vehicles showing mechan-
ical defects, and of this 300 there
were IS found to have defective
brakes. Two fatalities were the re-
suit of accidents in which the cars
involved had defective brakes, and
2S persons were injured.
With 1896 cars rejected for de-
fective headlights in the first $4,000
tested this year. the council points
to the fact that last year one person
was killed and five injured in acci-
dents arising from glaring head
lights. Three deaths were involved
and 19 injuries resulted from 49
accidents in 1889 in which cars had
smooth tires, and this years inspec-
tion has brought some 500 rejec-
tons on this item.
Figures like these. the council
points out, show the personal stake
which every motorist has in having
his car inspected as soon as possible.
for in many instances the reflections
have come as a surprise to the car
owner who was unaware of the
danger to which he and his passen-
gers were being exposed.
