LESSON SERMON

First Church of Christ, Scientist "Mind" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, February 20 throughout the world.

Golden Text: Psalms 92:5. O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Among the citations which comprise the Lesson Sermon is the following from the Bible: "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past finding out!... For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever." (Romans 11:33, 34, The Lesson Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science Textbook, "Sciece and Health with Key to the 5; raptures," by Mary Baker Eddy.

"Mind is God. The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind... called devil or evil. is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality. There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God; and if mortals claimed no other Mind and accept no other, sin would be unknown. We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite." (Page 469).
