Christian Science Services Sunday How children can be early taught to understand and love God will be brought out at Christian Science services Sunday. The welcome given children by Christ Jesus, described in the Gospel of Luke (18), is among the Scriptural selections to be read in the Lesson-Sermon .entitled “God:” “And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and 'Said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kinddom of God.” One of the correlative citations to be read from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy states: “Jesus loved little children because of their freedom from wropg and their receptiveness of right. While age is halting between twb opinions or battling with false beliefs, youth makes easy and rapid strides toward Truth"' ip. 236).

Sara-Cuse 'Says' By Ardis Larson ;■ ■ ■ WO WO FORT Wayne held us spellbound at 4:45 Sunday with its telling of Half seconds of a fatal auto accident at a certain speed, just how the body dies. Surely all who heard it would increase their driving caution! s" : THE REV. O. L. Johnson, Warsaw' minister, advises: “The New Year is before us, beginning a new page of history. What shall be written thereon is being determined by what we are doing each day and what we are!” He ends with: “May God grant each of us the courage to accept the New Year as a challenge and sincerely strive to Beat Our Best.” CHRISTMAS, FLORIDA . . . never heard of it, but received a Christmas greeting from there, from the L. W. Hesters of South Harrison street. So we actually received a card from “Christmas!” MRS. CARL F. NICKEL of Fort Wayne, nice to hear from. Also the enclosure of a large news item on Mrs. T. M. (Loveda) Cook, in the Fort Wayne paper. Her husband is a Fort Wayne attorney. Loveda has surely come a long way from the start she told us about. Several years ago when she was operating a beauty shop in her home here on the Cook farm. We recall her telling of her beginnings for beauty work, financed by her tomato patch, many years ago. Mrs. Cook before her marriage knew she wanted such a business as she’ now has and worked hard, culled her tomato patch to get funds for learning her chosen field. She started slow but sure. We are fond of her children, Dana and Dena. With all the evidence of having everything those two “dolls” were always thrilling with one or two of our “Beechie” chewing gum sticks, arid were thrilled once when we gave them a whole, package. 1 Mrs. Cook owns the Warner College in Fort Wayne and a college in Greenville, Miss., and One in Hammond, managed by T. M. Cook, Jr. THE WAWASEE Channel past Guy and Velma Farrington’s cottage at Yoder and Kimball’s, was solid ice at the week end, is beloved by many young ice skaters. Other channels are being enjoyed as we noted at the week end. HARRY COY . . . why does he try to avoid our publicity ? He gets remunerated ’ for his Overhead
Doors. Why shouldn’t we be permitted to work at our items we know as news? However, he is really a good guy and we mean well even if we do tease a bit. WILBUR WARD recently had quite a time “ribhing" the Burkholder fountain girls processing the supplies for the* fountain kitcheh. PICKWICK LOUNGE we visited during the holidays and was amazed at the lack of local people ■Wiere. The Lounge is outstandingly beautiful in this northern Indiana lake country and out-does some city places with its decor. > WINTER Wonderland, we wondered Sunday, squired by Mr. L., who dubbed the area “WawaseeVenice,” and aptly we deem. We drove around gJI our lakes, Wawasee, Syracuse,-| Papakeechie and took a slant at Bonar Lake. With the unsoiled snow as of New Year’s Day, it was beautiful and picturesque. „ Papakeechie was the easiest to view as it is hilly all around the lake and the trees being mostly bare. We could find the cottages more easily by the lake road now than when the tall trees were luxuriant in the fall. Coming back by the Wawasee
