CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, March l, 1912.
Subject: CHRIST JESUS.
Golden Text: Philippians 4:19-
God shall supply all your need ac-
cording to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.
ID A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Acts 1928, ,40.-How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good. and
healing all that were oppressed of
the devil; for God was with him.
40. Him God raised up the third
day, and Showed him openly;
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: Because man-made systems
insist that man becomes sick and
useless, suffers and dies, all in
consonance with the laws of God,
are we to believe it? Are we to
believe an authority which denies
Gods spiritual command relating
to perfection,-an authority which
Jesus proved to be false? He did
the will of the Father. He healed
sickness in defiance of what is
called material law, but in ac-
cordance with Gods law, the law
of Mind.

to the different fire companies
throughout the state, but they are
up in force and opposed to being
required to post bond of $4,000 to
get it. Generally speaking, firemen
are all proud of the equipment they
own and always try to protect it to
keep it up to the highest point of
efficiency. The same thing would
apply to equipment loaned by the
government. 1t was brought out
this bond would cover all equip
ment issued including auxiliary
bumpers, gas masks and helmets,
at the same time much of this
equipment would be used by auxil-
iary firemen or other defense units.
In view of this fact, firemen who
are doing a volunteer job, vigor-
ously oppose putting up premium
of about SIS per year to get the
necessary bond. The following were
among those present: President o.

IN MEM0RIAN

Editor, Milford Chronicle:
We note with sorrow the Obituar-
les of the several well-known Mil
ford folk chronicled in recent is
sues of your paper. Each one has
left behind those who mourn and
who hear tribute to their worth and
loss. Some of them knew passing
well and shall remember; but l
should like to bear testimony to the
worth of at least one of those men
toned, one of whom I may speak
sincerely, having had the privilege
of calling upon and of keeping in
touch with through many years.
Mrs. Mary A. Nutter, known
Familiarity to her friends as "Mollie
Polk" is remembered as always
having a cheerful, beautiful dispo-
sition. She was reared with all the
Christian virtues so well taught
her by loving mother and father
that, throughout the long years of
her life, those virtues were never
lost, but grew and became so fixed
that all those who knew her were
made conscious of her worth.
These virtues are not dead, but
will remain in the lives of her sons
Ito whom she gave so much in
guidance and Instruction. and i'll
the minds and hearts Of many who
remember her loyal friendship.
Generous, kind. thoughtful, over
flowing with love and sympathy
(which the world needs) are the
final impressions of Mary A. Nut
ter the writer will ever keep.
