Ell Centro Churches Invite Attendance
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Reality is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist. The
Golden Text is from jeremiah: THE
Lord hath brought forth our right
eousness: come, and let us declare
in Zion the work of the Lord our
God"
Among the Scriptural passages in
the Lesson-Sermon are these verses
from the second epistle of Peter.
Grace and peace be multiplied
unto you through the knowledge OF
God, and of Jesus our Lord, Accord
ing as his divine power hath given
unto us all things that pertain unto
life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called
us to glory and virtue: And
beside this, giving all diligence add
to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge; And to knowledge tenn
perance; and to temperance pa
tience and to patience godlinesS;
And to godlinesS brotherly kind
ness; and to brotherly kindness
charity For so an entrance shall
be ministered unto you abundantly
into the everlasting kingdom OF our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
A selection from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy, states: There
is but one way to heaven, harmony
and Christ in divine Science shows
us this way 1t is to know no othe;
reality-to have no other conscious
ness of life-than good, God and
His reflection, and to rise superior
to-the socalled pain and pleasure
of the senses"

Arts and Crafts Annual Bridee
Luncheon Tremendous Success

Circus Day. was the theme used
This year by the Ten Thousand
clubs Arts and Crafts section when
that group gave its annual bridge
luncheon, a colorful and highly
successful affair attended by $50
valley women this Thursday.
Each year tins party is listed
among the smartest and most de-
lightful Of the spring social events,
and each year it seems as If the
next years party could not possibly
reach the high standard set by its
predecessor, but each year the i'm
possible is accomplished.
AS guests approached the club
house they found the entrance dec
GRATED to resemble a circus tent,
with appropriate music, sounding
for all the world like a calliope.
and with balloons and a miniature
merry -go-round supplying the pro-
per atmosphere.

rated superbly for the affair: soft

the circus, decorated the various

for the benefit of the Soldiers, Sail
ors and Marines Club, today carried
the Endorsement of Gen. John j.
Pershing as a medium through
which the public can do something
for men in the service.
In letter to Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty, chairman of the ball,
Gen. PerShing announced he was
accepting an invitation to serve as
honorary chairman, and added:
The Soldiers, Sailors ard Marines
Club fills a highly important need
in the service it renders to the men

Washington on leave of absence"

those horizons as a logical result.
American merchant ships must be
available and ready to carry a
greater proportion than ever before
of the resultant world commerce.
That Is the goal toward which
the shipbuilders and the ship opera
tors of this Nation are headed
the ultimate goal toward which the
entire program of the Maritime
Commission is directed. The ship
yards of the Nation are geared up
to a standard of production which
assures success of the construction
phase of our effort to meet either
the wartime emergency needs or
the peacetime permanent foreign
trade requirements.
Il am confident we have learned
from past experience that we cannot
assemble Nation wide big scale
production machine in an emer-
gency, only to disassemble it when
the emergency has passed. Nor can
we foster foreign trade relations
today and neglect them tomorrow
1t should be clearly evident to all
of us that the productivity of
American farms and factories can
not again be permitted to lapse
into the inactivity which followed
the last World War and plunged
our Nation into economic distress. y
Sailings to Latin America Double.
With the passage of the Neutrality
Act, the speaker said, 9 of the
80 trade routes set up under the
commissions original plan became
imperative. These routes were to
Continental Europe and the Medi-
terranean area. On the other hand,
he said, the others are in full oper-
alton, many of them on a greatly
expanded basis. Sailings by Amer
lean ships on routes to Latin Amer
lea, for instance, have been more
than doubled, due to the addition
of tonnage and the expediting of
operations, both in sailirgs and in
ports, the speaker pointed out.
There were on January l, of this
year, 14l ships totaling 832,673 gross
Evening star., 1941-10-06

tons in service to both coasts Of
South America, Central America,
Mexico and the West Indies. On
September l last, in the same
services, there were 209 ships total
ing l,105,284 gross tons.
American markets must be held,
Admiral Land said, pointing out the
commissions emergency shipping
division is making every effort to
prevent disruption of trade and loss
of those norman markets. But, he
added, there is no question but many
lines of export and import trade are
feeling acutely the result of priori-
ties and ALLEGATIONS rulings which
are being made to expedite the all
out national defense program.
The trades to Latin America,
South Africa, Australia and the East
are operated on a commercial scale,
and as rule governed on the first
come, first-Served basis. All of the
United States ports. he said, are at
this time in liquid condition and
there is no forseeable danger Of
oVercroWding.
