the great rivers watch for flood waters.
What are life-gving streams to great
parts of our Land are devastating tor
rents to other sections. Flood control
is a vital subject to those who dwell
in the lpwlands through which the
rivers course.
The governm mt engineers have made
great strides in averting the damage of
flood. They have built great walls to
wall off the rivers; they have reforested
great tracts of land to absorb the ex-
cess water; they have built great dams
to hold back the torrents and to con.
troll their flow into other areas so they
may make fertile great wastes.
All this is most essential-but even
more necessary today is a system of hate
control. AS the fortunes of war wage
abroad, there is growing in this land
of ours increasing hatred and bitter
ness. Shall we let this flood wrap and
destroy much of what we hold dear?
We need to build walls of under
standing to hold the hatreds out. For

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

1T is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good
pleasure" This verse from Phillip
plans is the Golden Text in the
Lesson-Sermon on Mind" on Sum-
day in all Churches of Christ, Scien-
tiSt.
A Bible selection presents these
words of Jesus from Matthew: "Ye
are the salt of the earth: but il
the salt have lost his SAVIOUR, where
with shall it be Salted? it is thence
forth good for nothing, but to be
cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men. Ye are the light Of the
world. A city that is set on an hill
cannot be hid. Neither do men light
candle, and put it under buShel,
but on candlestick; and it giveth
light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light SO shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in
heaven
Selections from the Christian Sci
ence textbooks, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, state: Let us watch,
work, and pray that this salt lose
not its saltness, and That this light
be not hid but radlate and glow
into noontide glory" Light is a
symbol of Mind, of Life, Truth, and
Love and not a vitalizing property
of matter. Science reveals only one
Mind, and this one shining by its
own light and governing the uni

Drama Workshop Presents Two
Plays for Ten Thousand Club

Two delightful and well-staged
plays, each sharp contrast to the
other, were presented for the Ten
Thousand club Thursday night by
the clubs own members, the Drama
Workshop, these productions being
proof, If proof is needed, of the
excellent work done by this section.
The first play Christmas Shop
ping" was from the Anatole series
by the Viennese playwright, Arthur
Schnitzler portraying an episode in
Anatoles life in the subtle, sophis-
ticeted drawingroom manner.
Deft characterizations of Anatole
and the LADY of the great world"
were done by William G.. Duflock
and Mrs. Howard Clark while the
stage set, simple suggestion of
street scene, was most effective and
made doubly so by the lighting.
For the second play, Portraits" i,
the lighting was equally effective,
the curtain going up to reveal two
large portraits, one of colonial
grand dame, { Mrs. Malcolm Ma
curda) and the other, of a young
modern Ada Besse Beynon).
Changing lights created the prop
er atmosphere as the two held
their poses perfectly. With the
stroke of midnight the two came
to life and resulting conversation
between the belle of the Revolu-
tionary days and that of today was
most amusing. With cockcrow the
two returned to their frames, once
more portraits.
Mrs. William G. Outlook, chair
man of Drama Workshop, intro
duced the program, presenting NAL
colmn Macurda and Phil Reming-
ton, "the men behind the scenes,
both being In charge of stage sets
and lighting with Mr.. Remington
as director. The latter, prior to the
first play, gave brief sketch of
the other plays in the Anatole series
as an introduction to christmas
