FREDERICK DICKINSON, Village Attorney. Christian Science Churches "Soul" was the subject of the Lesson- Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Sci- entist, Sunday, February 12. The Golden Text was from Psalms 35:9, "My soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation." Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "For our light afflic- tion, which is but for a moment, work- eth for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are tem- poral; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (II Cor. 4:17,18). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Chris- tian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "As human thought changes from one stage to an- other of conscious pain and painless- ness, sorrow and joy,--irom fear to hope and from faith to understanding, --the visible manifestation will at last be man governed by Soul, not by ma- terial sense" (p. 125). Conduct Funeral Rites for Mrs. Giles B. Weise Today Mrs. Gladys Weise, wife of Giles B. Weise of 1112 Tower road, passed away last Wednesday at the St. Paul's hospital in Chicago following an ill- ness of about two weeks. Funeral services will be conducted this after- noon from the Scott Funeral Home at 1109 Central avenue, Wilmette. Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard of the Christ church, Winnetka, will officiate. In- terment will be at Rosehill cemetery. Mrs. Weise was the daughter of the late Jonas and Maude S. Madsen. She was a graduate of the Chicago Musical college and was well known throughout the north shore for her talent, having taught music in Win- netka previous to her marriage. She is survived by her husband and one sister, Mrs. Howard E. Bowers, of 554 Orchard lane. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Moon, 962 Pine street, are spending a week in Colum- bus, Ohio, visiting friends and rela- tives. They motored down last Mon- day. ARRANGE BIG PROGRAM FOR NEW TRIER PARTY Entire Township to Participate in High School Frolic on Saturday, February 25 A party, which is expected to at- tract more than 3,000 residents of the township and which will be featured by a stupendous program of amuse- ment in which almost every organiza- tion of New Trier High school will participate and which will include basketball games with the Stivers fives, of Dayton, Ohio, will be held at the Evanston High school gymnasium on Saturday evening, February 25. Proceeds to Club Room The entire proceeds of the evening, other than that small part necessary to defray expenses, will be utilized in furnishing the boys' club rooms in the new High school gymnasium and in purchasing a large bust of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh which will be mounted on a pedestal in the gym. The Stivers teams represent a school that over a period of 10 years holds the best record of any school in the entire state of Ohio in basketball and that is noted throughout the country for the splendidness of its teams and the quality of its sportsmanship. It is certain that in both the heavyweight and lightweight divisions, the games will be featured by brilliant floor and basket work on both sides. Many Groups Aid The evening's entertainment will in- clude the following group numbers: gymnastics by the Boys' Leaders' club, dancing by the Girls' Leaders' club, songs by the New Trier choir, which contains more than 100 voices; both the Girls' and Boys' Glee clubs; and selections by the New Trier band of more than 100 pieces. The Evanston gym has been chosen as - the place to hold the affair be- cause of its great capacity and it is anticipated that the people of the township will participate in such numbers that it will be filled--for the first time. In fact, so enthusiastic are the students over the program being arranged and the worthiness of the cause to which the proceeds are being devoted, that they have adopted the slogan, "Fill Evanston's Gym." Fresh- men of the school have volunteered and guaranteed to sell over 800 tickets and other classes are working for a like sale. Plans are being formulated for the holding of such an event as this one annually. Discuss Religious Books at Wednesday Meetings On each Wednesday evening during Lent, at the Winnetka Congregational church, simple homelike services in which the ministers will lead in devo- tions will be held and some member of the parish will talk about some re- cent book of outstanding religious value. It is feltthat many people will desire to take advantage of this op- portunity to share in each other's reading and in discussing some of the greatest religious leaders of the day. Mrs. Myron Harshaw of 535 Willow road and Mrs. Charles Byron of 768 Foxdale avenue left Wednesday, Feb- ruary 15, for the home of Mrs. Byron's parents near Palm Beach.
