God, Only Cause And
Creator Is Subject
Of The Lesson-Sermon

God The Only Cause And Great
or'' was the subject of the lesson
sermon in all Christian Science
churches and societies, yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Je-
remiah 32:17. "Ah Lord God! be-
hold, thou has made the heaven
and the earth by thy great power
and stretched out arm, and there
is nothing too hard for thee"
Among the citations which COM
rrissd the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible, wv h o
would fear thee, o King OF ma
lions? For to thee doth it appertain:
forasmuch as among all the wise
men of the nations, and in all
their kingdoms, there is none like
unto thee. -. Thus shall ye say
unto them, The gods that have
have not made the heavens and the
earth, even they shall perish from
the earth, and from under these
heavens. They are vanity, and
the works of errors: in the time
Of their visitation they shall per
ish." Ger. 10: 7,11,15)
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy,
Creator. Spirit; Mind; intelligen-
ce; the animating divine Principle
Ct all that is real and good; self
existent Life, Truth, and Love;
that which is perfect and eternal;
the opposite Of matter and evil,
which have no Principle; God, who
made all that was made and could
not create an atom or an element

Previously the general direction
of these signs was east to west,
that is toward the Rhine and the
French frontier. Now they point
from north to south-toward the
Swiss frontier.
The situation truly looked omin-
Gus for the Swiss.
But the Swiss were keeping their
heads. Both civilians and soldiers
showed far less excitement than
when Germany ostentatiously con-
centrated troops on the Black for
est and the Rhine border during
the invasion of the low countries
last month.
About 400, 900 troops stood ready
in the Winkelried line, facing Ger
