Governor Bacon said that the
threat of air raids on our shores
can and might become a bitter
reality. To guard against this our
Army has developed the finest air.
craft warning system in the world,
possible only because of our un-
equalled communication facilities.
Our enemies are aware of this
system-so well aware of it that
this may be the reason, or at least
a large part of the reason, why we
have not been attacked to date"
Tells OF Air Raids
Governor Bacon, describing air
attacks on Pearl HarbOr and Port
Darwin, Australia, pointed out that
subsequent attacks on the Austral-
ian city have been largely unsuc-
cessful, and attributed this to Or
ganization of a warning system.
Military experts repeatedly have
warned of air attacks along the
Atlantic coast, the Governor said.
He concluded by urging men and
women to offer their services at
the nearest aircraft warning post
for few hours each week.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Service report for Sunday, May
9. Subject: Adam and Fallen Man.
Golden Text: l Corinthians 1922.
AS in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: Gen. 3:9, 10. And the Lord
God called unto Adam, and said
unto to him, Where art thou? 10.
And he said, l heard thy voice in
the garden. and l was afraid, be-
cause 1 was naked; and hid my
self.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy:
Above errors awful din. black
ness, and chaos, the voice of Truth
still calls: Adams, where art
thou? Consciousness, where art
thou? Art thou dwelling in the be-
lief that mind is in matter, and
that evil is mind, or art thou in
the living faith that there is and
can be but one God, and keeping
His commandment" When
we wake to the truth of being, all
disease, pain, weakness, weari-
ness, sorrow, sin, and death, will
be unknown, and the mortal dream
will forever cease.
