Golden Text: Psalms 46:7. How
excellent is thy loving kindness, o
God! therefore the children Of men
put their trust under the shadow
of thy wings.
A citation from the LessOn-SeT-
mon is: / John 4:7-9, 1916. Be
loved, let us love one another: for
1--we is of God; and every one that
lOveth is born of God, and know
eth God. He that lOveth not know
eth not God; for God is love. In
this was manifested the love of
God toward us, because that God
sent his only begotten Son into
the world, that he might live
through him. . No man hath seen
God aI any time. If we love one
another, God dWelleth in us, and
his love is perfected in US. +. And
we have known and believed the
love that God hath to US. God is
love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him.
A cOrrelative passage from the
Textbook Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Mary Baker Eddy is: (p. 331)
Life, Truth, and Love constitute
the triune Person called Cod
that is, the triply divine Principle
Love. They represent a trinity in
unity, three in One,-the same in
essence, though multiform in Of
fee; God the Father-MOtheF;
Christ the spiritual idea of SON
ship: divine Science or the Holy
Comforter. These three express in
divine Science the threefOld, es-
sential nature Of the infinite They
also indicate the divine Principle
Of scientific being, the intelligent
relation Of God to man and the
universe.

Smoking is no sin. It has been

children need no sedatives against

for them.
Looking about the world today
it would seem that everybody
smokes. The children take smok-
ing by their elders as . matter OF
course and, since they initiate
all they see their elders do, they
want to smoke. Some OF them do

1t is commonly agreed that
children do not benefit by smok-

should be needed.
There Is a law in most places
against selling cigarettes to chill
dren. A trip about the neighbor-
hood of q high school will soon
show how often this regulation is
disregarded. 1t should not be dis
regarded and the parent-teache1
organizations have q duty in that
direction. The cigarettes. the slot
machines and the back rooms In
the candy shops will bear some
attention.
