“Christian Science” was the sub
ject of the Lesson-Sermon in all
Christian Science Churches and
Societies on Sunday, July 1.
The Golden Text was from
Hebrews 12: 12, 13. “Lift up the
bands which hang down, and the
feeble knees; and make straight
paflU for your feet, lest that
which is lame be turned out of the
w.ay; but let it rather be healed.”
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon were
the following from the Ejble:
"Arise, shine; for thy light is come
and the glory of the Lord is risen
upon thee. For, behold, the dark
ness shall cover the earth, and
gross darkness the people; but
the Lord shall rise upon thee, and
hijj^glory shall be seen upon thee.
And the Gentiles shall come to
thy light, and kings to the bright
ness of thy rising” Isaiah 60: 1-3).
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Ask yourself: Am I living the
life that approaches .the supreme
good? Am I demonstrating the
hetjj'ng power of Truth and Love?
If so, then the way will grow
brighter "unto the perfect day.”
Your fruits will prove what the
understanding of God brings to
man. Hold perpetually this thought
—that it is the spiritual idea, the
Holy Ghost and Christ, which en
ables you to demonstrate with
scientific certainty, the rule of
healing, based upon its divine
Principle, Love, underlying, over
lyiac, and encompassing all true
brlWI” (496:9)

„ Auto Controls for Disabled GIs
Shown above Is Studebaber’s application of the devices developed
by the automobile industry to make driving simple and safe for
GI amputees. Vacuum power centers most stop-go effort in a
single lever under the steering wheel. Advanced, the lever engages
the clutch and opens the throttle; retarded, the lever disengages
the clutch and applies the brakes. Other features: a knob on the
steering wheel for either dress artificial or hook hand; starter and
dimmer switches on dash where they can be reached by knees;
an "eye” on the emergency handle. Lower illustration, Mike
Daugherty, who lost a leg on Guadalcanal, demonstrates.
