Man" Golden Text: Psalms 65:
1, 4. Praise waiteth for thee, o
God, in Sion. Blessed is the man
whom thou choosest, and causest
to approach unto thee, that he may
dwell in thy courts. A Bible cita-
ton from the lesson-sermon is:
Gen. /: 81. So God created man in
his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female
created he them. A correlatlve
passage from the Textbook "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
is: Up. 344: 1-S) 1t is objected to
Christian Science that it claims
God as the only absolute Life and
Soul, and man to be His idea,-
that is, His image. 1t should be
added that this is claimed to repre-
sent the normal, healthful, and sin
less condition of man in divine Sci
ence, and that this claim is made
because the Scriptures say that
God has created man in His own
image after His likeness.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY


Woodland Beach will close with
next Wednesday as Farmers Day.
We are having magnificent
weather, and if September will
keep it up, some amends will be
made for the hot steaming July.
We ought to have several enjoy
able months before the winter sets
in.
1t was all in the family, the
names getting mixed before reach
ing our office but it was the house
of Theo. w. Lavender near town,
and not that of John M. Voshell
that was struck by lightning Sat-
urday week. The shaft descended
between the chimney and the dor
mer window, knocking hole two
feet large through the roof and
plastering, but fortunately doing
no other damage. Mr.. Lavender
thought some of his buildings had
been struck, but did not know it
was his dwelling until he saw the
shingles scattered over his front
yard.
The two months vacation expires
with this week, and next Monday
the bell from the cupola of the
school house, will call teachers and
children to resume the mental trial
incident to getting an education, it
is expected, with renewed physical
vigor.
Peaches were on the market
Monday at 10 cents a quart, which
was 40 cents per gallon or $500
per bushel. But the very few
bearing trees attest that there are
not enough of them to make OF
/ break one.
Once in while somebody pays
years subscription, that's capital
And once in a while some dead
beat takes the paper for year
without paying for it; that's an
archy. But later on justice will
over take the last named indi-
vidual, for there is a place where
he will get his deserts; that's
