Life Is Discussed
In The Lesson-Sermon

Life" was the subject of the les
son-sermon in all Christian Science
churches and societies, yesterday.
The Golden Text was from John
1873. This is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast
sent"
Among the citations which com
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible. And I
heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle Of
God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God. And
God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be nj
more death, neither sorrow, nor cry
ing, neither shall there be any more
pain; for the former things are pass
ed away" Revelations 21:3.4).
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures, by Mary Baker Eddy. Life
demonstrates Life. The immortality
of Soul makes man immortal. Ii God
who is life, we're parted for a mo-
ment from His reflection, man, dur

man, unite for a period and ther
are separated as by a law of divorce
to be brought together again at some
uncertain futures time and in q
manner unknown,-and this is the
general religious opinion of man
kind,-we are left without a rational
proof of Immortality. But man can
not be separated for an instant from
God if man reflects Cod

SITE OPTION FOR
SEWERAGE PLANT
Municipality Given Two Year
Option on Location for
Disposal Plant
Price of $4,000 is Asked for
Five Acre Tract, Council
Is Told Monday

Preparing for the possibility that
Buttons municipal sewage disposal
system proposal may be revived, the
town has obtained an option on the
suggested site for disposal plant.
Mayor Wilbur A. Howe reported to
the council Monday night that an op-
tion on a five-acre tract at the edge
of town has been granted by the Gen.
trail Ohio Light and Power Co. at a
cost of 81.
The option covers two-year period,
and should the municipality buy the
land the cost is stipulated at $4,000.
Near Buckeye Lake
Site on which the option is held is
at the western end of the Buckeye
lake, bounded by the Bigler road, the
A. c. and Y. railroad and the western
extremity of the quarry. 1t is the
triangular strip on which the old
dynamite house" is situated.
Action in taking the option follow
ed announcement that funds for the
federal governments share of pro-
posed disposal system may be approx
d at Washington this spring, despite
the fact that the town voted down the
WPA project presented at the polls
last fall.
Should approval of the program be
made in Washington, government
funds would be available for construc-
ton of the sewage disposal system,
providing the town, as sponsor, raises
it's share of the cost.
Altho there is no sentiment locally
for revival of the disposal program,
campaign might possibly be launched
if WPA funds are made available, it
is pointed out.
1t is to prepare for that contingency
that the town council decided to take
steps to obtain an option on the site
near the Buckeye.
