The Golden Text was: "Pre

Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Serrmon was the
following from the Bible: “Thou,

hast made heaven, the heaven of

The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following correlative pass
ages from the Christian Science
textbook, “Science and Health

Mary Baker Eddy: “As the chil

sires in their passage from sense

existence to the spiritual, up to
the glory prepared for them who
love God” (p. 56(!)).
The price of labor on the dam is
an average of $5 a day, or $30 a
week at 40 hours. Common labor is
$4 a day, and skilled labor more.
Jobs for good workers are continu

are allowed a large say in who the
