Christian Science
Lesson-Sermon
"God” is subject of Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in Churches of
Christ, Scientist, throughout the

The Golden Text is: "There is
none holy as the Lord; for there is
none beside thee: neither is there
any rock like our God” (I Sam. 2:
2).
Among the citations which com
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the foi
lowing from the Bible: “Great is
our Lord, and of great power: his
understanding is infinite’ (Psalms
147:5).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy: “God is infinite
the only life, substance, spirit, or
soul, the only intelligence of the
universe, including man . . . Spirit
is divine principle, and divine prin
ciple is love, and love is mind and
mind is not both good and bad, for
God is mind; therefore there is in
reality one mind only, because
there is one God” (p. 330.)

mauga Park, chuckled when he saw
in the papers the other day that
Uncle Sam had rated Jas. W. Wil
lson, 117, of Vidalia, as the oldest
] person in the nation.
Uncle Mark, who says the rec
ords show him to be 122 years old,
I knows that he was quite a shaver
when Wilson was born. But the
'aged negro does not care whether
| the census bureau knows about him
or not, just so long as the pension
bureau continues to send his
I monthly check as Uncle Sam’s old-
| est pensioner.
Born in slavery in Virginia in
1820, the first president he remem
bers was John Q. Adams, he was 43
years old when the battle of Chick-
amauga was fought and helped to
bury its dead—"the grey in one
trench, the blue in another, and the
j horses in another.”
j Uncle Mark is serene and smiling
He wears spectacles once in a
| while “just to rest my eyes." He
' owns three Bibles and sometimes
four and has a twin brother preach
ing in Africa, who is 16 minutes his
senior.
“I am the father of 29 children
and my oldest is 99, my youngest
Cl” he said. He is living with his
fifth wife.
Living in a two-room log cabin
built by the government, he raises
his own vegetables.
Uncle Mark never went to
school but was taught to read by
his children.

Washington, June 29—With a dis-

Roosevelt today extended for 10
days the drive to round up all
