“Soul” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, August 13,
The Golden Text is: “The Lord
is my portion, saith my soul; there-
fore will I hope in him” (Lament-
ations 3:24).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “Yea,
in the way of thy judgments, O
Lord, have we waited for thee; the
desire of our soul is to thy name,
and to the remembrance of thee”
(Isaiah 26:8).
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Only by losing the false
sense of Soul can we gain the eter-
nal unfolding of Life as immortal-
ity brought to light” (page 335).

TRY ANYWAY
Did you ever stop to think how
much money is spent each year
trying to control the temperature
The weather is never “just right”
for everybody. In the winter, we
spend scads of money on keeping
warm. In the summer more money
is spent to keep ourselves cool.
The other day I was doing a rather
unsuccessful job of trying to think
on a hot day. I turned on all the
fans, but then I found that the
noise of the fans distracted my
thoughts.
“I have come to a conclusion that
I am going to learn how to work
“weather or not.” That doesn’t
mean that I am going to toss out
all my fans in the summer or vie
with the Eskimoes in showing my
superior resistance to the winter
elements. It means that I am going
to do everything I can to get com-
fortable and stay that way, but
when all is done that can be done,
I am going to concentrate on ac-
complishing the work I have to do.
Putting it off until I feel like do-
ing it will never get the job done,
Mark Twain said: “Folks are
always talking about the weather,
but they never do anything about
it.” I say some folks are always
talking, but they never do any-
thing. Period. I have heard big
strapping men say that they wish
they could be better Christians,
but that they arc too weak. Others
have said that they would like to do
something for God but they "just
can’t.”
In my opinion this is just “ba-
loney,” and here is why I think so.
Moses was a timid, tongue-tied
man, but he became the great
leader of his people. Gideon was a
slave, but he became a conquering
general. Jeremiah was thrown into
jail, but he listened to the voice
of God and his prophecies foretold
the overthrow of the king who put
him there. Paul was chained to a
wall, yet he wrote his great Epis-
tles which became the inspiration
leading to the evangelization of the
Roman empire.
What did these men have, that
you don’t have? Nothing but a
faith in God that yould not be
denied, and the intestinal fortitude
to try. Are you handicapped in
your Christian life? Try anyway?
Ruth Class Meets
The Ruth Class of the Baptist
Church met at the home of their
teacher, Mrs. C. F. Carter, Thurs-
day, August 3, at 8 p.m. with
Group One as hostesses.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mrs. Joe Ruth.
A very timely devotional was given
by Mrs. Norman Runyon on the
subject, “The Place of the Bible.”
The following officers were elect-
ed for the next church year which
starts October 1: Teacher, Mrs.
C. F. Carter; Associate Teacher,
Mrs. B. E. Sailor; Secretary-Trea-
surer, Mrs. E. N Falks; President.

lowship yice-President, Mrs. B. E.
Sailor; Stewardship Vice-Presi-
dent, Mrs. Joe Edge; Personal Min-
istries Vice-President, Mrs. D. M.
Clardy.
A social hour followed and later
delicious refreshments of fruit
punch and home-made cookies were
served to the following:
Mesdames Myrle Burton, Susie
Harbison, George Miller, C. D.
Sanders, Zelphia Hill, R. A. Moss,
E. A. Whitley, Joe Edge, Joe Ruth.

Federal Aid Bills
Flooding Congress
Found To Total 307
Uncle Sam has a bargain base-
ment sale in the making with a
total of 307 attractive offers of
financial aid to state and local gov-
ernments. All the Federal Govern-
ments wants in return is a bigger
say in running hometown affairs.
In a special study released today
State Chambers of Commerce add-
ed the bills for Federal aid be-
fore this 81st Congress and came
up with the total of 307.'
If all of them were passed, they
would add approximately $3,200,-
000,000 to present Federal spend-
ing the first year and well over
$6,000,000,000 a year by the sixth.
None of the bills even hinted that
the people in the states would pay
in full, by Federal taxes, for the
very “aid” they were offered.
These proposals cover 41 differ-
ent types of grants-in-aid. They
include such measures as spending
$8 million for the Federal Govern-
ment to enter the character train-
ing field and another $50 million
to promote the health and sound-
ness of youth.
Federal grants-in-aid to state
and local governments have grown
steadily since the end of World
War II, both in total dollar expen-
ditures and in the number and
variety of services subsidized. Fed-
eral aid outlays for the fiscal year
1950 amounted to approximately
$2% billion. This is $800 million
more than the total sum paid out
in the fiscal year 1948—just two
years ago.
The amazing thing about this
flood of grant-in-aid measures is
that few, if any, State Governors
have come to Congress asking for
such legislation. Many State Leg-
islatures have adopted resolutions
roundly criticising Federal grants-
in-aid as a growing and costly
evil. For instance, the Indiana Leg-
islature said,
“Indiana needs no guardian and
intends to have none. We Hoosiers
were fooled for quite a spell with
the magician’s trick that a dollar
taxed out of our pockets and sent
to Washington, will be bigger when
it comes back to us. We have taken
a good look at said dollar. We find
that it lost weight in its journey
to Washington and back. The pol-
itical brokerage of the bureaucrats
has been deducted. We have decided
that there is no such thing as
“Federal” aid. We know that there
is no wealth to tax that is not al-
ready within the boundaries of
the 48 states.”
Anyone can be brave from a
safe distance.
The Way to
Perfect Health
That health is always the natural
condition of man is made wholly
clear in the Christian Science
textbook, "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy.
Through the thoughtful read-
ing of this book, which contains
the complete explanation of
Christian Science, men and wo-
men in all walks of life have been
completely and permanently
healed of every manner of dis-
ease - often after other methods
had failed.
