Marguerite Twinem, Local Missionary, Arrives on Gripsholm From China "Oh, the wonder of being back in my own land!"

Twinem of 219 East North street, after docking in New York harbor from the Gripsholm last Wednesday, Dec. 1, a repatriate back in her own country after six years spent in China as missionary from the Anaheim White Temple Methodist church and the Long Beach First Methodist church. Though she has been under an intense emotional strain for many months she assures her family and friends that she is in fine physical condition and was able to pass her physical examination upon docking, without any trouble. The doctor has ordered her to have a three month's rest, however, and to avoid crowds and speechmaking during that time. She writes that she is anxious to address the members of her own two congregations as soon as possible, however, and as she hopes to be back in Anaheim by Christmas time, it will not be long before her friends will be able to hear for themselves the terrible, but thrilling account of her life in occupied China. Miss Twinem spent six years in China, then in 1936 came back to the United States for a year, returning to China in 1937. Her school was located at Shangli, but shortly after the outbreak of the war she and 12 others, including four children, asked to be sent to Peiping where they would enjoy more advantages. They were confined to the compound there, but were allowed a Chinese cook and living costs were much cheaper joyed several Chinese feasts with former Chinese pupils and was spending her days in needed shopping for new luggage and clothing. At the moment she is attending a missionary board convention at Buck-Hill-Falls, but on Dec. 10 will go to Philadelphia where she will spend four days with her aunt, Mrs. Marguerite Bisbee, her father's sister.

Be sure to fold all buttons, buckles, etc., inside clothes when wringing them. Oil the motor and grease the wringer and gear box according to manufacturer's instructions.

Center — Phone 4271 CHRISTIAN SCIENSE CHURCH "God the Preserver of Man" is the subject of the Sunday Lesson-Sermon in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. The Golden Text is from II Thessalonians: "The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil." In a selection from the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said to his disciples, "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. . . Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? . . And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; . . Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? . . But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures:" "In divine Science, man is sustained by God, the divine Principle of being. . . Knowing this, Jesus once said, 'Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,'—presuming not on the prerogative of his creator, but recognizing God, the Father and Mother of all, as able to feed and clothe man as He doth the lilies."
