Committee Announces
State Veterinary Setup
CONTINUED from First Pase)


veyed by the committee to. make
sure that there are adequate vet
erfnary facilities to aid farmers in
keeping down livestock disease
losses. A complete roster of all
veterinarians in the state has been
made by the committee, showing the
availability of all veterinarians for
service with the army, government
health departments, and civilian
agencies. This roster will be filed
with government authorities in
Washington, with whom the Ameri-
can Veterinary Medical Association
lis cooperating in this project.
1--WE are facing an important re-
sponsibility in seeing that qualified
veterinarians are made available to
the military forces, and at the same
time to see that our rural areas
are not stripped of the veterinary
service which is so vital to the
farmer at this time," says an an
lnouncement issued by Dr.. j. G.
,Hardenbergh of the American Vet
Urinary Medical Association. I'VE
must be more alert than ever be-
fore to prevent livestock disease
losses on the farms---for increased
livestock production and wartime
conditions make diseases of all
kinds a greater threat than ever.
Every farmer is urged to be. con-
stantly on watch, to report the
first signs of sickness to his veter-
marian, and to take prompt steps
to prevent the spread Of disease to
his other animals"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

/ Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, May "a, 1912
Subject: SOUL AND BODY.
Golden Text: Psalms 42:11.-
Why art thou cast down, o my
soul? and why art thou disquieted
within me? hope thou in God; for
l shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my
God.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Ephesians d: 4-6.-There
is one body, and one Spirit, even as
ye are called in one hope of your
calling; 5. One Lord, one faith, one
baptism, 6. One God and Father of
all, who is above all, and through
all, and in you all.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: AS astronomy reverses the
human perception of the movement
of the solar system, so Christian
Science reverses the seeming rela-
tion of Soul and body and makes
body tributary to Mind. Thus it is
with man, who is but the humble
servant of the restful Mind, though
it seems otherwise to finite sense.
But we shall never understand this
while we admit that soul is in body
or mind in matter, and that man is
included in non-intelligence. Soul,
or Spirit, is God, Interchangeable and
eternal; and man coexists with and
reflects Soul, God, for man is Gods
image.
