Christian Science Lesson For Sunday “Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth” (Hebrews 12:6). | The lesson-sermon in Christian Science churches this Sunday points out some of the ways this statement comes true ta the lives of people today. Tbe topic is “Everlasting Punishment." | One explanation of chastening is presented from the tenets of Christian Science, as stated in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 497): "We acknowledge God’s fwgiveness of san in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punashed so long as the belief lasts.” ThroughtHit the lesson-sermon, this chastening is shown to be for • man’s ultimate benefit, as expressed in these lines from Matthew (25:34): "Come, ye blessed of my > Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

1950 the General Assembly directed UNICEF to change from emergency aid to long range assistance to help developing countries raise their living standards and to continue projects benefiting children. Each government provided local supplies, building and staff and contributes an average $2.50 each dollar spent by UNICEF. This aid is given to children without regard ito color, creed, nationality or polit-1 ical belief. For the first time in history, we I hold in our hands the means of free- I ing all children from igorance. disease and hunger. Children’s needs cannot wait, that’s why UNICEF is calling on massive support from j- government and people everywhere to meet the needs. In making this world a better place for children we wall be preparing this genera- . tion. for a full and productive life and building the main foundation :on whidi world peace must rest, i
