Churches of Christ. Scientist, on
Sunday, March 10.
The Golden Text was, “Ha bath
shewed the*. O man, what Is good;
and what doth the Lord require of
thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God?” (Micah >:8).
Among the citations which com
prised ths Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “What is
man, that ihou are mindful of him?
and the sou of man, that thou visit-
est him? Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy
hands; thcu hast put all things un
der hts feet” (Ps. 8:4,6).
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“The human triad will sometime
rise above all material and physical
sense, exchanging It for spiritual
perception, and exchanging human
concepts for tha divine conscious
ness. Then man will recognize bis
God-given dominion and being”
(p. 531).
