“Substance” is - the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
Sunday in Churches of Ohrist, Scien
tist, throughout the world.
Among the citations, which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon there will
be the following from the Bible:
“For we know that if our earthly
house, of this tabernacle were dis
solved, we have a building of God,
an ho'use not made with hands, eter
nal in the heavens” (II Cor. 5:’)
The Lesson-iSermon will also in
clude the following correlative selec
tion from the Christian Science text
book, “Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “Every object . is material
thought will be destroyed, but the
spiritual idea, whose substance is in
Mind, is eternal. The offspring of God
start not from matter or ephemeral
dust. They are in and lof Spirit, di
vine Mind, and so forever continue’’
Op. 267).
The Thomaston Production . Credit
Association, according., to Mr,. Sum
mers, last year did a business tota)-,
ing $260,000. “These loans,” he said,
“are for agricultural purposes and
repayments are made at the time'
when the member is best able'to pay
for the sale of crops or livestock 1 or
other operations financed. -Some'loans
are made on the budget plan in which
members get a commitment from, the
association to advance to them sums
covering certain periods, thus enabl
ing them to be sure of sufficient 'funds
to carry them through their agri
cultural operations and yet not have;
to pay interest on the .entire amount
for the whole season. The. budget'
pian provides for advancing part of
the entire amount as needed.” ; a-'iV
