The commission will be prepared to receive a call from the newly-organized church, formally extended to the Rev. B. M. Larson, D.D., to become their pastor. Mr. J. N.

Dr. Larson and his family are residing at 1202 Genoa Street in the Gables. Mr. Vernam said: "We were highly pleased with the attendance at the first Sunday school session and church service conducted on last Sunday. The Sunday School has a staff of teachers and leaders prepared to care for all age groups; the church service is one of inspiration, worship and deep spiritual helpfulness." The Sunday School convenes at 9:45 a.m. and the service of worship at 11 a.m. Dr. Larson announces as his sermon topic for next Sunday's 11 a.m. church service, "The Growing Church."

The Golden Text is: "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8). Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:17, 18). The lesson-sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Jesus established in the Christian era the precedent for all Christianity, theoloav, and healing. Christians are under as direct orders now, as they were then, to be Christlike, to possess the Christ spirit, to follow the Christ-example, and to heal the sick as well as the sinning" (138:17-22).
