1O2: IL. Thou, o Lord, shalt en-
dure for ever; and thy remem-
brance unto all generations. A
Bible citation from the lesson-ser-
mon is: Prov. 8: 13 and 4 Z. Hap
py is the man that findeth wisdom.
and the man that getteth under
standing. Wisdom is the principal
thing, therefore get wisdom: and
with all thy getting get under
standing. A correlative passage
from the Textbook Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy is: Up. SOS,
275. 298). Spiritual sense Is the
discernment Of spiritual good. I'M
derstanding Is the line Of demarca-
ton between the real and the un-
real. :. This understanding Is not
intellectual, is not the result of
scholarly attainments; it Is the
reality of all things brought to
light. To grasp the reality and
order of being in its Science, you
must begin by reckoning God as
the divine Principle of all that
really is. :. Life, Truth, and Love
are the realities of divine Science.
Spiritual sense, contradicting
the material senses, involves in
tuition, hope, faith, understanding,
fruition, reality.

WATER PROBLEMS IN THE
HOUSEHOLD AND IN
YOUR COMMUNITY

Are you one of the lucky ones
who lives in soft water locality?
If so. you know how troublesome
hard water can be, especially on
wash day. Clothes come out of
the tub gray and dingy because
curds are formed when the miner
al salts in hard water unite with
soap. Then the dirt particles COM
bine with these curds and work
their way into the textile fibers.
AS a result, hard rubbing to re-
move the grayness breaks the fib-
ers and tears the cloth.
Bad Effects of Rusty Water
Have you ever realized the dam
age that is caused annually by
hard water corrosion in the piping
in your home? The hard water
scale that constantly accumulates
in coils, pipes, and tanks diminish

Column is reaching out its bran

try as I may there is no way of
combining the four words of Bad

needed. One has been suggested
and almost adopted. Hope every
one will like it. Now RIFT, Web

split in anything. We like to think
OF the Bad Rock canyon being an
opening in SOMETHING (not
anything) The sun streams
through that Canyon early morn
ings long before it comes peeping

of our new name and our new COL
umn "Sunrift" as an opening into
