We approach another
Easter
morning when a few million people
will tarry for a time to consider the
brevity of life here and the forever
of eternity.
May the skies be clear above and
the hearts and minds of the Ameri-
can people be filled with hope and
confidence as they enter another
year on Easter morning.
Rural Electrification.
The REA has just announced from
Washington allotments of $1,236,-
200 for rural power projects in six
states. One is in Oregon in Lane
county with an allotment of $108,-
000, providing 87 miles of lines, and
serving 420 customers.
In the same public announcement
the REA has stated that it has lent
or earmarked a total of $52,987,478
for 270 such projects throughout
42 states with 50,000 miles of lines
serving 175,000 customers.
The allotment ot 8132,000 for the
Hermiston rural electrification pro
ject to serve over 500 farmers over
120 miles of lines is expected soon.
The total service so far granted
is but a drop in the bucket in the
great need and demand for farm
electrification and equipment will
reach into the billions.
In this county are 7,000,000 farms
and only one out of nine, or less
than a million, are supplied with
electric lights and power.
Building the lines is a small item
compared with all other features.
Wiring, light fixtures, motors, at
tachments, refrigerators, properly
built machinery, automatic pumps,
plumbing facilities and other equip
ment not required in urban homes,
will keep factories busy and men em
ployed in almost limitless ways.
It will finally exceed the great in
vestments of the automobile indus
try. And it is on the way, just as
sure as any other great development
in American life. Politics and cor
porate control cannot stop it. Every
home owner is demanding this ser
vice. It is the great big ground
swell of the people of this nation.
Rivers will be dammed, minerals
will be mined, forests will be inva-
ded, factories will be enlarged and
millions of men will find employ-
ment before the Job is complete,
The American farmer is fully allot-
ted the enjoyments of electrical eco
nomy and comfort, so long permit
ted his city cousins.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
ATTER” was the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, March 21.
The Golden Text was, "I have
declared, and have saved, and I
have shewed, when there was no
strange god among you: therefore
ye are my witnesses, ealth the
Lord, that I am God” (Isa. 43:
12).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “God is
a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit
and in truth” (John 4: 24).
The Lesson-Sermon alzo includ
ed the following correlative pass-
ages Com the Christian Science
textbook, “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures,” by
Iary Daker Eddy: “The Israel
ites centered their thoughts on the
material in their attempted wor-
chip of the spiritual. To them mat-
tor was substance, and Spirit was
shadow. They thought to worship
Spirit from a material standpoint,
tut this was impossible . . . We
worship spiritually, only as we
cease to worship materially” (pp.
351, 140).
