CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LESSON SERMON FOR cCDvufEc nN CIINnAY

At the Church of Christ, Scien- tist, on Sunday the subject Is Soul
 The following excerpts from the Lesson Sermon are taken from the Bible. o Bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise 10 be heard.-<Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet tosbe. moved. tPsalms)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: If it is true that man lives, this fact can never change in Science to the opposite belief that man dies. Life is the law of Soul, even the law of the spirit of Truth, and Soul is never without it's representative. Mans individual being can no more die nor disap- pear in unconsciousness than can Soul for both are immortal. Page 427

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Hp-Ameri-

Nuremberg, Carnival City of Nazi-
dom, and Saarbruecken, sprawllng
Industrial and railroad center.
The USAAF bombardiers, accom-
panied by fighters, loosed their
loads over the German airdrome at
Wevelghem, near Courtrai, Bel

by diversionary sweeps of Ameri,
can fighters, and all planes return
ed safely from the full operation.
The British also were active to-
day, making sharp attacks on Os-

bombers last night, and two bomb

today - but the damage to Hitler's
war potential was considered a
