Mary Baker Eddy is the follow
ing (203:13): Spiritual percep-

aught but God, and so makes
man the image of his Maker in

Scriptural selections will in

600 compared with 81, $40 900 pre-

Similar gains were noted in
the various other categorieS OF
retail trade locally.
Despite these satisfactory re-
suits, warn the economists, con
sumers will not continue bui-
ing at such a rate in the near fu-
ture unless they are persuaded
to do so. A harder selling ef-
fort will be needed, it is felt,
