"Sacrament” is the subject of the

all churches of Christ, Scientist, on

in the lumber mill business, spared
some of his time to show us through
the mill. We completed an inspection
tour of this mill fom the time the
logs are dumped from the cars into
the mill pond until they become fin-
ished lumber. The logs from the pond
are conveyed by machinery up to the
the feast, not with old leaven, neith-
er with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.” (1 Cor-
inthians 5:8).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Create in
me a clean heart, O God; and renew
a right spirit within me” (Psalms
51:10).
The LessonSermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sicence
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: “The
baptism of Spirit, washing the body
of all the imprities of flesh, signifies
that the pure in heart see God and
are approaching spiritual Life and
its demonstration” (page 241),
Here we viewed the processes from
which many types of paper are made
from the log, no part of the log being
wasted.
From here we went to the docks
where we got aboard a small yacht
to take a 22 mile trip down the Hou-
ston Ship Channel to San Jacinto
Monument and Battleground. Going
down the channel gave us a view of
the many industires of Houston from
the river side and also gave us “land-
lubbers” a chance to see large tramp
steamers getting ready to dock in
port.
Arriving at the Battlegrounds we
first rode to the Monument dedicat-
ed to the Battle of San Jacinto. This
monument, which is higher by four
feet, than the Washington Monument,
was started in October, 1936, and is
to cost approximately a million and
a half dollars. It is not quite complet-
ed on the interior, but the outside
is a wonderful piece of art. After ad-
miring the monument we rode
around the field of battle and read
the markers which gave the location
of both armies and their divisions.
This was really interesting.
We then returned to Houston
