The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
read at all Christian Science churches
and societies on Sunday. May 3, was
"Everlasting Punishment." The ci
tations read show that God does not
punish His children, but that all
sin is forever excluded from the
kingdom of heaven, harmony. Hence
rhe suffering which mortals experi
ence Is the result of sin. or ignorance
of God and disobedience to divine
law, which continues until sin is
overcome through spiritual Truth.
Parts of two citations read from
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy
(p. 3T and 36) are as follows: "If
the sinner's punishment here has
been insufficient to reform him, the
good man's heaven would be a hell
to the sinner. It is quite as impos
sible for sinners to receive their full
punishment this side of the grave
as for this world to bestow on the
righteous their full reward." One
of the Biblical selections reads, "A
of the heart bringeth forth good
things; and an evil man ;ut of the
evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things."

Northwestern railroad informed the
board that it had been compelled to
cut expenses to such an extent that
it had displaced section hards by ex
tending sections from eight miles to
ten miles of track. No salaries had
been reduced, but employes had been
discharged.
The state board met in annual
session to begin Its work of valu
ing all railroad property in the state
for purposes of taxation. The board
last year and the year before used
only the stock and bonds method of
valuing railroad property. Testimony
indicated that stocks and bonds are
now lower than last year, but no
specific- valuations were given by
wit n esses.
Attorney C. A. Ifagaw appearing
for the Union Pacific questioned W.
H. Schibner, tax commissioner for
that road. Mr. Scribner presented
exhibits showing a tilling off of
operating revenues for the. first three
mouths in 19.J1 as compared the
ants period for 1!29 and 1030. as
follows: lttt MM71.SM; 1030
$41,87.811; 1031 $87,648,505.
Net operating income for the first
three months in these years were
given: 1920 $9,12050, 1930 $5,
151.606, 1931 $3,500,197.
The Union Pacific was the only
road that asked that ks assessed val
uation be equalized fat 7J per cent.
The state board last year decided
that other property in the stat- is
assessed at 75 per cent of its market
value, and used that percentage in
equalizing railroad values.
The Union Pacific road filed an
exhibit with the state board placing
the value of its property in Nebras
