Union CHURCH NEWS

Church was very well attended
last Sunday and We wish to thank
everyone who came out. We hope
you will all come back next Sunday
and you who were unable to attend
last Sunday. don't forget Sunday
School this Sunday at o'clock.
This Sunday is Easter and every
one should remember how Jesus
died on the Gross for you and me
and show our love by attending
church somewhere. The boys fight
ing at the front would give any
thing for the privilege we have of
worshiping in a little church like
ours. In their messages home they
beg the American people to turn
back to God and pray. They say
this is the only way our country
can win the war and put a stop
to the numbering. Let's do our
part on the home front and maybe
we will save some poor mothers
bOy-perhaps your son or hus-
band.
We are trying to moke our
church interesting to all and will
improve as we can. For the little
we have pretty stories of
Jesus to read them. We also have
crayons. blocks and sticks for their
entertainment.
Our new song hooks will be on
hand Sunday. so let's have a song
service after Sunday School and
The primary and junior classes /
will put on Mothers Day pro- /
gram on May 9. They hope for a .
large attendance with each one that /
can bringing his mother.

ceive me.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: James 1:2 & IL. My
brethren, count it all joy when ye
fall into divers temptations; 3.
Knowing this. that the trying of
your faith worketh patience. 4.
But let patience have her perfect
work. that ye may be perfect and

Correlative from the Textbook.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker

can live without goodness, when
God is good and the only real Life.
What is the result? Understanding
little about the divine Principle
which saves and heals. mortals get
rid of sin. sickness, and death only
in belief. These errors are not thus
really destroyed, and must there
lore cling to mortals until. here or
hereafter, they gain the true under
of God in the Science
which destroys human delusions
about Him and reveals the grand
realities of His allness.

The OPA has decided to make SUI
gar available to home Gamers
again this year without ration cou-
pom penalties after arranging for
an extra 100000 tons of sugar to
be imported from Cuba.
Previously. OPA considered re-
quiring persons who asked for ex-.
ira canning sugar to surrender
eight to twelve points of their can
ned goods ration stamps for every
extra pound of sugar.
Because of the canning and other
needs, however, there was no indi-
cation that the extra Cuban sugar
would affect the ordinary consum-
er's sugar rations, which is at the
rate of about one-half pound per
person per week
