CHRISTIAN SCIENCE “Sacrament” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon to be read in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, July 11. Golden Text: “We being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.” Included in the Lesson-Sermon is this verse from Matthew: “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body." This correlative statement is from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The disciples hadv eaten, yet Jesus prayed and gave them bread. This would have been ' foolish in a literal sense; but ini its spiritual signification, it was natural and beautiful. Their bread It was the great truth of spiri- tual being, healing the sick and casting out error. Their Master had explained it all before, and now this bread was feeding and sustaining them.” Christian Science Broadcast Sunday A broadcast of interest to many listeners in this vicinity may be heard next Sunday morning, July, 11, at 8:05 o‘clock, when a Chris- tian Science program will be pre- sented by the Columbia West Coast Church of the Air.

He gave a squint ,of greeting over his steel-rimmed specs and waved his cob pipe with a horny hand. , "Hearken to this here,” Larrity said, without more ado. “It’s philos— ophy, and worth hearin’. “‘Perversity, paradox, inconsist- ency, self-contradiction—all are in- herent elements of th e nature of man,’ Larrity read, with a tone of relish and a pronunciation all his own. ‘This fact is most conclusively manifested in times of war.’ The ancient bullcock looked up, nodding sagely as he puffed his pipe. The atmosphere grew strong. “I looked thim words up,” Lar— rity said, “after hearin’ a good citi- zen of Polewater speak his mind to Mark Tobias, the camp push. This citizen had drove up to go fishin’ on the north branch without checkin’ first to find if it was closed account fire danger. It’s been so for a month, for the reason that fishin’ in the woods can lose the war. Well, after usin’ his time and gas to drive this far, the John Citizen has to be mad at somebody, and it’s the loggers—” “What do you mean, fishing can lose the war, Larrity?” I inter- rupted. “Fishin’ can start forest fires,” said Larrity emphatically. “It makes the real fishermen mad to say so, for most are prime w00dsmen and take due care with fire. But a few who go fishin’ are stinkers.” The Sins of the Minority . ‘. . “The good citien who took um- brage at Mark Tomias forgot his philosophy,” Larrity went on. “He said he was doin’ a tough war job, he’d bought war bonds, he had a boy in the Navy, and there was no more danger of him startin’ a forest fire than of tellin’ war secrets he knew to the Japs. I’d believe that of him and of the next eight fisher- men who’d come along. But the tenth could be a stinker. “This good John Citizen sounded on? about the desperit shortage of lumber, and how it was because so nany loggers were hid out at soft jobs in the shipyards. Then he >' turned loose on Mark, and on the company, and wound up with a blast at the Gov’ment, then drove off in a cloud of dust and blue at- ‘ mosphere. “It all sums up. Most fishermen pertect the forests from fire. Most loggers are in the woods, fergittin’ all else but the boys at the fronts need wood. Most operators are mak- in’ shift in all kinds of shortages and troubles to do the same. Most Gov’ment men are tryin’ hard to win we war. But in each crowd there are some stinkers. “And so, when the stinkers in one g crowd make grief for another crowd, it’s. the curse of human nacher that the men in the other crowd forget philosophy and get I full of fury and fight. And the next i thing each gang is cursin’ the other for the sins of the few and coverin’ up the sins of its own minority.” The Desperate Lumber Shortage . .. “The sorrowful thing of it all is that the boys in the real fight are the goats,” sighed Larrity. “They are primed for the bi g invasion. They’ve got to have all kinds of sup- plies, and they won’t get them with- out boxes and crates to ship them in. They’ve got to have invasion boats, great fleets of gliders, explo- sives—all manner of fightin’ mate- rials which can come only from tim- her, from logs, from the mills. “Forest fires can cut down that supply, which is already desperit short. So can loggers who stick to the shipyards. So can operators 1 who give up to their troubles. So l can the Gov'ment .men whose duty it is to bring experienced loggers back to the woods. “Fishin’ can lose the war. Log- gers stayin’ in the shipyards can ’ lose the war. Loggin’ companies which don’t go the limit to get out logs can lose the war. Gov’ment men who put politics before their bounden duty to pervide more help for the loggers who are workin’ their heads off in the woods, ca n lose the war. And all because of l the 10 per cent of stinkers in every crowd.” Shelton Valley ' Scribe Reports Shelton Valley, July 6-——Mr. and iMrs. Dewey Bennett were guests of honor at a suprise dinner at} Echo Farm Friday evening, the occasion being their silver Wed- din anniversary.
