Good or Evil Choice
Up 10 Man, DR.. Sizoo
Tells Lenten Thronq

Though we may not be able to
avoid temptations that does not
mean We should go out of our way
to seek them, the Rev. DR.. Joseph
R. Sizoo, rector of the Collegiate
| Church of st. Nicholas, New York
told approximately 1900 MONDAY
worShipers yesterday at the spe-
cial lenten services at the Church
of the Epiphany, 1877 @ street NV
The word temptation" he said
| means trial, which means testing
If there were no evil, then good
would not be a virtue God gave
man a choice in this dual world of
good and evil. He does not, however
ask to make trials when they do not
exist
There is another point those who
failed to surmount the evil may take
comfort in" DR.. Sizoo continued
God will deliver you if you pray
He always speaks the last word even
though man himself has given up"
DR.. Sizoo will be unable to preach

DR.. Peter Marshall, minister of the

Spirit; this Life being the sole reality of existence.
 This healing of Mrs. Eddy oc- cured in the year 1866 Her book, Science and Health, was not pub lished until 1875. These nine years were spent not only in patient search of the Bible, which she de- clares was her only textbook, but ill demonstration of the truth she had discovered. She put it under severe and exhaustive test before she felt ready to write her text book. The message came to her glorious with enthusiasm and reve- lation, and it is in the study of this book, the prayerful, careful, sincere study of it, that mankind will find redemption for the whole of human thought.
 Christian Scientists are deeply grateful for this noble womans Iconsecrated life and achievement. Through her revelation of mans true selfhood she made it possible for all to demonstrate the truth of being. Your true selfhood and mine is the real man, the image and like ness of God, the Christ-idea, the spiritual reflection of the one infi- mite Mind, God, that selfhood which Jesus the Master demonstrated in his life among men.
 No one would question the fact that Mrs. Eddy's discovery of this practical, operative truth came through prayer-a prayer that be- gan with reaching out for light and became the reflection of the light of truth itself, No one can read her own simple but spiritual ly eloquent account of this experi- ence as given in her work, Retro of the Father in all her footsteps of discovery progress and growth.
 The presence of God which she found through her prayer prepared her waiting thought for it's recep- tion of the greatest blessing that has come to the human race since the advent of Jesus the Christ.
 Prayer is truly the Christian Scientists vital breath From the new light on prayer which comes to him from his. study of this Sci ence he can well understand what Paul meant in his letter to the

 Love-" She says on this same page that these terms are synonymous and that they refer to one abso- lute God. They are also intended to express the nature, essence, and wholeness of Diety.'
 "To think of God as Principle brings wonderful comfort, because if God the creator of the universe is known as the divine Principle of His universe then we can think of God as conscious only of that which is in entire accord with His divine nature. Whatever is not in accord with God, good, is not the creation of God. This fact removes forever the possibility of evil of any name or nature having exist ence in His universe.
 When our young flyer was de- claring the omnipresence and om- impotence of God, he was bringing to bear upon his sense of fear the scientific fact that in the Principle of being there is no fear; fear is not God created. He became con- scious of the law of divine Prin- ciple and it's operation on his be- half. This recognition of the ac- tivity of divine Principle banished the threat of fear, and he found himself free. Thus he was released from fear; his understanding of God, divine Principle, healed him.
 Someone may ask how this heal ing of fear came about. May 1 ex- plain by simple illustrations often used by Christian Scientists? If in working out a problem in mathe- matics you should make a mistake you would turn to the principle of mathematics, which, of course, knows nothing of even the possi- bility of mistake You would seek ito understand more clearly the principle and it's application to the problem and so be led to find and |correct your mistake.

Shop For Overseas
Xmas Presents Early

Save strong tring and box material
and start to plan shopping, Postmaster
General Frank C. Walker advises Ameri-
cans in announcing the rules for mail
ing of Christmas gifts for Army and
Navy personnel overseas.
This year the Christmas mailing peri
cd for both Army and Navy overseas
forces is the same-September 10 to
October Is. After, October IS no gift
parcel may be mailed to a soldier with
out the presentation of a written re-
quest from him.
The great demands upon shipping and
the need for giving preference to arms,
prime reason for the early mailing date.
Moreover, gift parcels must travel great
distances to reach Army and Navy per-
sonnet who are located at remote
points, and frequently the transfer of
large numbers to new stations necessi-
tates forwarding of the packages and ad-
ditional time is required.
The response that our people made
last year during the overseas mailing
period demonstrated that they will CO.
operate in any measure designed for the
welfare of our armed forces personnel,
Mr.. Walker said. 1t is not easy to con-
centrate on Christmas gifts in the midst
of warm weather here at home but our
people recognized the need, and because
y4l. want the men and women who are
absent from their homes to know that
they are not forgotten at Christmas they
Christmas gifts.
| know that our people will observe
the overseas mailing schedule once more
this year but ! do wish to stress this
fact: More care must be taken in wrap
ping and packing parcels securely and
addressing them clearly and correctly.
1t is not a pleasant thing to visit a
postal concentration center and see the
numbers of Christmas parcels which will
never reach servicemen and servicewo-
men. Post office personnel have orders
to do everything they can to effect de-
livery of such gifts, because we know
how important they are for the happi-
hoSS y nv afheu iofces. 100 frequently
nothing can be done.
| am sorry that anyone ever mention
ed that the size of a shoe box is the
approximate limit for packages intended
for gifts mailings overseas. Unhappily
many people became convinced that a
shoe box is the best possible container.
We must be mindful that these gifts
must travel far, with shipping space
crowded. If the gifts are to be protected
in transit Cley must be packed in boxes

College Students Not
E|iqibIe For Deferment

No college students are eligible fol
deferment by Selective Service if be-
twn the ages Of Is to 26.
Professional students engaged in the
study of medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, osteopathy, or for the min.
istry may be considered for deferment
by the local boards under an establish
ed special procedure.
High school students who are 18 or
10 years of g (only in the 9, 10, IL,
or 18th grades (only) and in the last
half of their scholastic year may have
their induction postponed, but not de-
ferred, by Selective Service if the re-
quest is made of the local board after
being ordered for induction.
Colonel Lawrence w. Long, State
Director of Selective Service, stated that
there had peer some confusion in the
minds Of students and parents in regard
to this. Engineering, premedical, phys
les, astronomy, academic, and many
other students are no longer able to
be deferred by Selective Service if be-
TWEEN the ages of Is to &c years. Those
students who have completed their col
lege preparation for a professional
course in medicine, dentistry, veter-
mary medicine, or osteopathy and had
enrolled, matriculated, and begun classes
on or before July 1st are eligible for
consideration for deferment if pursuing
an accelerated full-time professional
course in a recognized school.
While high school students cannot be
deferred, Congress made a limited ex-
ception by allowing those who had not
reached their 2Orh birthday andwho
were in the 9, 10, II, or 18th grades and
in the last half of their scholastic year
to have the induction of such man stop
ped until the expiration of this period
of time or until he stopped school which
ever occurred first, provided he re-
requested it after being ordered for in
duction by the local board.
With the exception of high school
and ministerial students, all other stu
dents between the ages of IL to 26
years must be certified on DSS Form
42-A Especially by the State Director OF
Selective Service in the state in which
the school is located before the local
board can consider the registrant for
d~eferment.

made of metal, wood, solid fiberboard,
or strong double-faced corrugated fiber
board, reinforced with strong gummed
paper tape or tied with strong Irvine.
If both tape and strong Irvine are used,
so much the better. If the outer wrapper
is crushed-and this is likely to happen
the loss of contents may be prevented
if fiberboard boxes are wrapped in heavy
paper.
We were unable to deliver many par
cells which families and friends sent to
men and women overseas last year be-
cause they were crushed in transit and
the gift and the outside wrapper became
separated. We would have been able to
make delivery if the address had been
shown on the inside wrapper. We advise
that everyone write the address of the
sender and addressee inside the package
as we'll as outside.
Christmas gifts mean much to our
people overseas. Because strong Irvine,
lheavy paper and boxes and fiberboard
will prove of real help in making deliv-
cry of gifts possible l urge those at

now. As time goes on they are going to
become even more scarce than they are
now.
Among the more important rules for
Christmas mailings to the armed forces
overseas are the following:
The parcel must not exceed 5 lbs, and
must not be more than 10 inches in
length or SO inches in length and girth
combined. 1t should be marked Christ
mas parcel so that it may be given
special attention to assure it's arrival be-
fore December 25.
Not more than one parcel may be
mailed in any one week to the same
member of the armed forces by or in
behalf Of the same mailer.
When combination packages are made
up of such items as miscellaneous toilet
articles, hard candies, soaps, etc, the
contents should be tightly packed so
that they will not become loosened in
transit and damage the contents or the
cover. Hard candies, nuts, caramels tin
GLIDING those covered with chocolate).
cookies, fruit cake, and chocolate bars
individually wrapped in waxed paper
should be enclosed in inner boxes of
wood, metal, or cardboard.
Perishable goods, such as fruits and
vegetables that may spoil, are prohabit-
ed. Intoxicants, inflammable materials
such as matches or lighter fluids, pois-
ons, and anything that may damage
other mail also are prohibited. Gifts en-
closed in glass should be substantially
packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instru-
ments, such as razors and knives, must
have their edges and points protected so
that they cannot cut through the cov-
| erings and injure postal personnel or
