CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, March 16, 1911.
Subject: SUBSTANCE.
Golden Text: Psalms 1888, 90
For ever, o Lord, thy word is set
tied in heaven. Thy faithfulness is
unto all generations.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: l Chron. 29:11,12-Thine,
o Lord, is the greatness, and the
power, and the glory, and the vic
tory, and the majesty; for all that
is in the heaven and in the earth is
thine; thine is the kingdom, o Lord,
and thou art exalted as head above
all. IL. Both riches and honour
come of thee, and thou reignest over
all; and in thine hand is power and
might; and in thine hand it is to
make great, and to give strength
unto all.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
QUESTION-What is substance?
ANSWER - Substance is that
which is eternal and incapable of
discord and decay. Truth, Life, and
Love are substance, as the Scrip
lures use this word in Hebrews:
"The substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen."
Spirit, the synonym of Mind, Soul,
OF God, is. the only real substance.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

WHAT is YOUR EYE-Q:
Do Headlights of Approaching Cars
Blind You?
Do You See Distant Objects sharply?
Do You Blink and Squint in Sun
light?
Can You Distinguish Red and Green
Lights?
Can You Read Highway Signs Clear
ly?
Have Your Eyes Been Tested Re-
Gently?
Have You Worn the Same Glasses
for Years?
These are rhetorical questions, of
course, but they are questions you
should ask and answer yourself.
The Delaware Safety Council warns
that the safety of your life and those
of others may depend on the con-
6ition of your eyes. Hundreds of
traffic accidents, many of them fatal,
are caused by faulty vision
faults that can be corrected often
by properly fitted glasses.
Cold weather makes for poor visa
bility, treacherous pavements and
motor operation. Combine
these factors with faulty eyes and
you have the Ingredients of a tragic
accident.
Four thousand six hundred eight
persons in a neighboring state who
applied for drivers licenses in 1889
received restricted licenses because
Of faulty vision. This represented
800 of the total of 1890 restricted
licenses issued. One hundred twen-
y-two persons failed completely to
pass the optical test.
This figure, however, is a mere
lrop in the bucket compared to the
thousands of drivers who obtained
heir drivers licenses before optical
ests were required and who have
aulty eyes =. and you may be one
If them. Don't wait until it is too
