The lesson-sermon for Thanksgiv ing day given In the Christian Sci ence quarterly and used in all Chris tian Science churches in the United States and many parts of the world was read. The golden text of this lesson was: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song I will praise him." (Psalms 28:7). Among scriptural verses was in cluded Isaiah 63:7: "I will mention the lovingkindness of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multi tude of his lovingkindnesses." . Citations from Science and Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mary Baker Eddy, included this cor relative passage: "God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more? God is in telligence. Can we inform the Infin ite Mind of anything He does not already comprehend? Do we expect to change perfection? Shall we plead for more at the open fount that is pouring forth more than we expect?" (page 2). The period following the lesson sermon was filled with testimonies of gratitude given by Christian Sci entists.

The basement of the court house where the auto license examinations are now being conducted, is a busy place the past few days as the final rush is on. The examinations have been held in the basement since court is in session. Here the eye tests and the filling out of the physical condition blanks have kept Jack Stamp and his assist ants very busy in the last few days as the deadline approaches. After the first of December the drivers face the possibility of being stopped and their licenses examined by highway patrolmen or other offi cers and if they have no new license for 1938 then a fine is possible. Mr. Stamp is to keep his office open Monday and Tuesday from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m. to accommodate those who cannot get in until late to take their tests. County Treasurer John E.Turner and his force of workers will also be on the job until 9 p. m. to see that the licenses are issued to the ones that successfully pass the examinations. The department of roads and irri gation under which the state patrol is operated, has announced that the dates for tests for drivers licenses in Cass county for December will be from the 11th to the 22nd of the month.

Mr. Stamp, the county examiner, reported that so far 5,500 had been examined and granted licenses at his office. This leaves several thousand others to be given the examinations.
