SEISMOGRAPH CREW
WORKING IN A. P. AREA
It could not be learned authori-

crew in this vicinity was working.
Representatives of the Petty j
Geophysical Co., could not di-
vulge any information on survey

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Soul” is the subject of the les-
son-sermon which will be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, August 18.
The golden text is, “Come and
hear, all ye that fear God, and I
will declare what he hath done
for my soul” (Psalms 66:16).
Among the citations which
comprise the lesson-sermon is the
following from, the Bible: “Seek
the Lord, and his strength: seek
his face evermore--For he
satisfieth the longing soul, and
