WILMETTE L.IFE November· 16, 1928 Christian Science .Churches "Adam and Fallen Man" wa·.s the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, November 11. The Golden Text was, "All Israel shall be saved : as it i.s written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob" (Romans 11: 26). Among the citations which com· prised the Les'son-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : That whosoever believeth in him ·.should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3: 14. 15). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "When advanced to spiritual being and the understanding of God, man can no longer commune with matter i.. neither can he return to it, any more than a tree can return to its ·.seed" (p. 76). Meningitis Now. on I ncrease in Illinois Areas The best and the worst in a decade are both found in the current prevailing health conditions of Illinois, according to ~- Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. "Cerebro spinal meningitis," says Dr. Rawlings, "has not been so prevalent since 1918. Smallpox is more widely distributed than at any time since 1921. Pneumonia is running heavier than for three or four years. Never before since records have been kept have measles, tuberculosis and typhoid fever been less prevalent in th~ State. Dipththeria is running a middle course. "Up to the beginning of November 379 cases of epidemic meningitis had been reported, a number greater than for any previous full year since 1918. The disconcerting feature about this is that meningitis tends to travel in epidemic waves of ten to twelve years with the crest stretching out over two or three years. It has no particular seasonal variation, as do most other communicable diseases, but hangs on tenaciously until the outbreak runs its course. Some cases this fall are quite virulent in character. Precautions against the disease include the ordinary hygienic and sanitary practices that make for good health in general. "It ought to be a disgrace for any intelligent person to have smallpox but conditions are now right for a wide distribution of the disease in Illinois this winter. Well over thousand cases have occured alr~ady this year and with scores of contacts moving freely among great unvaccinated blocks of the popu.lation the outlook is not reassuring. Some 32,620 cases have occurred in the State within the decade. Fortunately most of it has been mild but smallpox has demonstrated an uncanny capacity to change from the mild to the malignant and nobody can predict how any particular epidemic will develop. "Pneumonia is right now about 25 per cent more prevalent than at this time last year with the main season for that ·iisease just ahead. Case reports are now averaging about a thousand per month but that rate is likely to increase smartly as the winter advances. The very young and the very old are a little more likely to catch pneumonia than peop~e of other age groups, although this disease shows a prodigal disrespect for age or station in life. It ranks as one of the most fatal of diseases about one in four or fi-ve cases termin~ting in deat~ and claiming a mortality of five to eight thousand annually in the State. Precautions against pneumonia include painstaking care of patients with colds influenza, measles bronchitis and th~ like! . particularly 'during convalescence, av01dmg over-fatigue from either dissipation or work avoiding· prolonged exposure to i_n~lement weather, eating enough ~utntious food and favoring the lungs With plenty of fresh air both night ~nd day: Vaccination against pneumonia IS practicable under certain conditions. An Era Of Color The well appointed table of the present day, can truly be called, "a table beautiful." For its setting is a change in fashion and color stands out as the leading factor in every perfect arrangement. During the formal dinner variety may hold sway to sum extent that each course will bring a new surprise, perhaps in green, blue or deep red. Beautiful China when properly shown will prove this arrangement to be a most attractive one. To be sure, the placing of colors must be understood and in this we offer our services. ...
