LIFE Karch 1, 1929 Christian Science Churches "Mind" was the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churche'3 of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, February 24. The golden text was, "J beseech you, . brethren, by the .name of our Lord Jestr3 Christ, that ye aU speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (1 Cor. 1 :10). Among the citations which comprised the lesson-sermon was the following from the Bible: "By the word of the Lord were the heavens niade; ar.d all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generatons" (Psalm 33:6, 9, 11). The lesson-sermon also included the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mind is the grand creator, and there can be no power except that which is derived from Mind. If Mind was first chronologically, is first potentially, and must be first eternally, then give to Mind the glory, honor, dominion, and power everlastit&gly due its holy name" (p. 143). Chinese Plays on Next Marionette . Fellowship Bill the fourth program of its season, Friday and Saturday evenings, March 1 and 2, at 8:30 o'clock, and Saturday afternoon March 2 at 3 o'clock, the Marionette Fellowship is giving at the Evanston Woman's club two plays of Chinese flavor.

Blake and Edith Bacon. and the music, employing flute and gongs, is played by Margaret Bluthardt and Ariar. Dc1ander.

Kates and Catherine Muller, and the readers Charles Fleischmann, Charlotte Bickell, Louise Robinson, and John L. Dean, Winifred Mickey is playing Igor Stravinsky's "Chinese Nightingale" music. The Marionette Fellowship, drawing its members from all the north shore, is the first organization in the country to give a season of plays by dramatists like Shakespeare and Fielding in miniature of a marionette stage for a regular subscription audi ence.

Seek $2,000~000 Fund to Complete Near East Work The American public was this week asked officially for $2,000,000 to complete the overseas work of Near East Relief. The request with ample details of the plans for expenditure, was presented for congressional approval by the relief organization, in the annual report which it is required by law to submit to the Senate and House of Representatives. The money, of course, is not voted by Congress, but must be raised through voluntary contributions from Americans in atl parts of the United States. But a ·proper budgetary presentation to Con~ress is regarded by the organization as an essential preliminary to any authorized nation-wide appeal for funds. It is proposed to Congress that the suggested budget should be raised by popular subscription during the next five months, although the completion of the overseas work will require a gradu~tly diminishing program for the next two years. In a financiai summary of the past thirteen years of Near East Relief work, it is shown that the organization has expended nearly $110,000,000. Last year the contributions were $2,108,637, and the expenditures $1,617,169.82.. ....) Statistics show that in its thirteen years of accomplishment the Near East Relief has saved more than a million lives and has given institutional training and . education to 136,000 children. Its medical work has reached more that\ 6,000,0oo people, and at various famine pe.riods its feedin~ programs have cared for 12,500,000 individuals.
