CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

God the Preserver Of Man Is
the subject of the Sunday lesson
sermon in all branches of The Moth
er Church, The First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, in Boston. The
Golden Text is from II Thessalon-
ians: THE Lord is faithful, who
shall establish you, and keep you
from evil"
In a selection from the sermon
on the Mount Jesus said to his dis
ciples, your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, before ye
ask him Behold the fowls of
the air: for they sow not, neither
do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than
they? :. And why take :e thought
for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; +. There
fore take no thought, saying, What
shall we eat? or, What shall we
d ink? or, WhereWithal shall we be
clothed? But seek ye first the
kingdom ef God, and his righteous
ness; and all these things shall be
added unto you."

LETTER FROM INDIA

The w. j. Meagher family re-
Gently received an interesting
Christmas greeting from 1t. Robert
H. Simon, stationed somewhere in
the India theater. 1t. Simon was
stationed in the valley for some
time. Mrs Simon, the former Mary
Ann Riddle is completing her col
lege work at Wooster.
The letter describes India as fol-
lows "India's queer place =
there's nothing like it anywhere
tfor which we may thank the Om-
nipotent). Downtown strets are
filled with people cows goats
= rickshaWs = G. I. transport -
soldiers - horses water buffalo
cars = street sellers = fortune tel
lers = all at the same time.
THE policemen wear red turbans
the Indians wear no shoes but
all wear long clothes wrapped
around them. Many small children
flaunt their birthday suits-some
are completely wrapped up. How
they walk about is beyond me.
THE English I've met are fine
people.
1.-The army is as G.I. as ever =
duties are various and not difficult
yet. At present I'm in a hotel
where barefooted bearers do every
thing except eat the food for Us.
