CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday. April 21. 1910.
Subject: DOCTRINE OF ATONE
MENT.
Golden Text: Matthew 20:2S-The
Son Of man came not to be minis
tered unto. but to minister, and to
give his life a ransom for many.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Deut. 6:4-6-Hear, o Is
rael; The Lord our God is one Lord:
S. And thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul. and with all thy. might.
s. And these words. which / com
niand thee this day. shall be in thine
heart:
CorreIative from the Textbook.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: Every pang Of repentance
and suffering, every effort for re-
form, every good thought and deed,
win help us to understand Jesus
for sin and aid its eff
cacys but If the sinner continues
TO pray and repent, sin and be sorry,
he has little part in the atonement-
in the at-one-ment with God-for he
lacks the practical repentance,
which reforms the heart and en-
ables man to do the will Of wisdom.

made from school funds TO bolster
other state Departments.
Ne Funds For HuiIdiHg
Since 1882, the superintendent
said, there has never been q suf-
ficientssurplus for any building pro-
gram.
He said the State Highway De-
partment and school and parents
associations throughout the state
we're lighting the establishment of
the single fund on the grounds that
Il would act detrimentally TO the best
interests Of the roads system and the
school program.
Mrs. 6;inns Speaks
Mrs. James NJ Ginns, chairman Of
the advisory council Of the Board Of
Education. discussed the eurtailed
activities Of the adult education
program which resulted from a so
per. cent cut in the appropriation
for the adult program by the last
session of the Legislature.
Mrs. Ginns said the appropriation
now given for adult work is less
than il had been in 1919 and that
a movement now being started to
reduce the fund even further would
create a considerable hardship.
Now is the time to forestall such !
action" she warned, explaining that /
in many cases this year the pro-
grams had been carried on only /
payments from pupils in
such classes. She said the pupils in
such classes could ill afford to pay
toward the courses.

FRUIT GROWERS
MAILED SPRAY NOTES
tConiinasd from First PaEsl

The pre-pink spray should be
started when the apple leaves are a
little larger than the size Of mouse
ears. and completed before the buds
separate in the clusters. Growers
should take careful note as to the
exact size of the leaves and buds at
the time this spray is applied, and
whenever the leaves have doubled in
size another application should be
made. The rapid growth which usu-
ally takes place at this time of the
year makes frequent sprays neces-
eary. as in a normal season usually
there is a week or ten days between
the early prc-pink and the full pre-
Pink stages.
For the pre-pink sprays. fruit
growers have the option of the fol-
lowing three applications prepared
in 100 gallons Of water: ID 2 ga4
Ions Of liquid lime sulfur. t2) 1 gaT
lon of liquid lime sulfur and s

ally have trouble with scab control.

above are advised in such orchards.
