CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." These words of the Psalmist are the Golden Text in the Lessen-Sermon on "God the Only Cause and Creator" on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. A Bible citation in the Lesson-Sermon includes these verses about Jesus from Luke: "And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day: . . . Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? And looking around about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored whole as the other." A passage from "Science and Health with Key to Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy states: "The law of Christ, or Truth, makes all things possible to Spirit; but the so-called laws of matter would render Spirit of no avail, and demand obedience to materialistic codes, thus departing from the basis of one God, one lawmaker."

Located at the base of 2-1/2 high Mount San Jacinto where protects it from the fogs of coast, it has the highest sunshine percentage of any section of United States. As its average annual rainfall is only slightly over four inches, the atmosphere is consistently dry and clear—a blessing for people bothered with trouble. In the summer it becomes ghost town. Its 8000 winter population drops to about 500 most of these wish they were somewhere else. Mid-summer temperatures run around 110° and have touched 132 on occasions. However, in spite of high temperatures, there are heat prostrations, due to the lack of humidity; sunstroke is also unknown. One of the reasons for this sort's existence is its hot min springs from which it takes a lot of its name.

Twenty years ago it was practically unknown. It boasts a winter population of over 8000 and judging from real estate offices and their city, its growth has just been stalled at the base of 2-mile Mount San Jacinto which acts it from the fogs of the city. It has the highest sunshine vintage of any section of the United States. As its average rainfall is only slightly over 10 inches, the atmosphere is constantly dry and clear—a blessing people bothered with sinus disease. In the summer it becomes a hot town. Its 8000 winter population drops to about 500 and few of these wish they were where else. Mid-summer temperatures run around 110 to 132 on rare occasions. However, in spite of these temperatures, there are few prostrations, due to the lack of humidity; sunstroke is almost common. One of the reasons for this resilient existence is its hot mineral springs from which it takes a part in its name. Our government's policy regarding these springs, as its future policy regarding local Indians, is causing our Washington law makers no end ofaches. Here is the story as told to me by one of the Indian big-wigs from the Indian reservation just south of town. For many centuries before the coming of the Spaniards and up until the building of the Southern Pacific railroad, the present site of Palm Springs was occupied by their tribe, the Agua Caliente Indians. With the building of the railroad, our government decided they should be placed on a reservation and as a result 33,000 acres were set aside for that purpose. There they live today in rather primitive dwellings. Fifty strong, 28 adults and 22 children. In setting aside the land for the reservation, a solid block was used. First the desert was surveyed and then alternate sections (checkerboard fashion) were proclaimed Indian land. As their village site (Palm Springs) was an odd section, they were obliged to move. On first thought, keeping out this one particular section seems hardly fair but as it worked out, the Indians hit the jack-pot. The mineral springs are on section 14 of their reservation and at this time there is a standing offer of $2,000,000 for its purchase. The Indians want to sell, use some of the money to build inexpensive modern homes and an auditorium. So far the government has turned thumbs down on the idea. Anyway—Palm Springs is still a wonderful place for a winter sojourn. Sun suits and shorts are the prevalent wearing apparel. That makes it easy to spot a lady County, school, and special district tax levies on property in Orange county for the current year total $5,463,908, according to figures just released by California Taxpayers' association. Of this amount, $1,677,407 is for county current purposes, $107,044 for county bonds, $2,258,382 for school current purposes, $468,571 for school bonds, and $952,504 for special districts, the association stated. City tax levies and those of irrigation, reclamation, water, and other districts not reporting to the county government were not included in the study, the association stated. The total 1940 tax levy for these governments in the county is just under that for 1939, when the total was $5,546,052, the association found. It is a major increase from the 1934 levy for 1933—the year immediately preceding the change in the California tax system under which county school support was transferred to the state general fund and sales and other taxes were levied to increase the support of the state treasury. Most of the increase in those taxes levied has been for the schools, the association stated, pointing out that the levies for school current purposes in the county increased from $1,387,382 for 1934 (the first year after the change in the tax system) to $2,-258,382 for 1940. In addition, the tax levy for county current purposes has incerased. The Brazilian bellbird is a white bird about the size of a pigeon.
