Christian Science Services

“Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Novembey 28. ; The Golden Text was® “Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy |and truth shall be to them that devise good” (Proverbs 14° 22). Among the citations which comprised, the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the ligl‘e: “And when he had called all e Dpeople unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of vou. and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into hirn, c¢sn defile him: but the things which come out of him. those are thecy that defile the ira» For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulterles, fornications, murders, thefts covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, .an evil eye, blasphemy, - pride, foolishness; All these evil things come from within, and defile the man” (Mark 7: 14, 15, 21-23). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science toxtbook, “Seience and Health with Key to the EScrtptum" by Mary Baker Eddy: “The Science of being unveils the errors of sense, and spiritual perception ,aided by. Science, reaches Truth. Then error disappears. Sin and sickness will abate and seem less real as we approach the scientific period, in which mortal sense is subdued and all that is unlike the true likeness disappears” (p. 408). Through immortal Mind, or Truth, we can destroy all ills which proceed from mortal mind” (p. 374). “let us feel the divine energy of Spirit, bringing us into newness of life and recognizing no mortal nor material power as -able to destroy. Let us rejoice that we are subject to the divine ‘powers that be.’ Such is the Sclence of being” (p. 249). “Science declares that man is subject to Mind” (p. 429).

To Prepare For Christmas Rush,

According to Postmaster E. D. Smith the Ligonier postoffice Christmas rush is but a few weeks away. As yet, not even stray pleces of Christmas mail have ben handled to make employes realize their rush veriod 1s but a few weeks in the futurc. What the Christmas mail volume wiil be remains to be seen, said Postmastar Smith. The same amount of addition, al help authorized by the ivil Service commission will take care of the increased mail volume, he stated. It Is expected the local office will handle an amount of Christmas mail that equals or possibly overshadows the volume of] last year. One Indiana hamlet Santa Claus is preparing for a probable nnprccedented amount of mail throughout the holiday season. It is anticipated that 1,000,000 pieces will be postmarked with that magical term. Several bustness establishments will send their circulars there for cancellation. The Ligonier rush will commence about a week bfore Christmas, forecasted Postmaster Smith, but will fall many thousand pieces short of the record to be established by the southern Indiana country postoffice.

General Tax Levy For Kosciusko The state tax board eliminated the Lseven cent general fund tax to be paid by Kosciusko county taxpayers under ‘the 1938 county budget. Reduction in the general fund rate from seven cents to nothing was made by the tax board because there is “a suficient balance to call for all 1988 expenditures and provide an adequate balance for 1989."” Another change in the county budget ordered by the board was a slash in the county highway maintenance and repair fund from $173,400 to $143,655. The latter figure is the estimated revenue in that department for 1938. The remainder of the county bud. get was approved as set out by the tax adjustment board.

TO BE OFFERED I U ww Former Is Groomed R T Opinion is virtually solid among Democratic party leaders at the state capital that within the next few months former Gov. Paul V. McNutt will be offered, and will accept, an invitation of the board of trustees to become president of Indiana university. : McNuee, who is at present United States high commissioner to the Philippine islands, is schedu’ed to rcturn next February to report on Philippine conditions to President Roosevelt and probably will confer with Indiana political leaders at that time also. The former governor, always a storm center in Indiana politics, is no less 80 now because of his reputed desire to be a candidate for the presi. dency in 1940. McNutt, according to speculation among his former Democratic assoclates, will not be coatent to remain in the Philippines definitely with a presidential campalgn impend ing, but will seek a position of prominence in the United States from which he can make his views on public questions known, The Indiana university board of trustees, according to best Informe«ll opinion, is divided three ways: ‘ 1. Those who want McNutt as unl, versity president as Indiana’s most fllustrious son at the moment, former university law school dean former governor and territorial commlssioner representative of outstandingz intellect ual acconrplishment a briiliant son of Indiana. : 2. Those who would agree that MecNutt is an outustanding citizen. but who want it stipulated that McNutt would not use his position as university president as a sounding board for his political utterances with a view toward the presidency. They want McNutt to seitle down to an import. ary position and comport hims:f ac- | cordingly. 3. Those who are will'ng to glve { McNutt a free hand irrespectiva of his ' |alleged political ambitions, believing I that if McNu‘t is nominatel or even ' |is a serious candidate for the presi- ' | dency it cannot reflect anything but | csddit upon the state and I's univer- | s'ty.
