Lesson Sermon

First Church of Christ

Scientist Mind was the subject of the L son Sermon read in all Churches of Christ Scientist, throughout the world yesterday. Golden Text:—Daniel 2.20, 21. "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:....he give th wisdom unto the, wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding." Among the citations which comprised the Lesson Sermon was the following from The Bible:—"If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be lixeminded, having the' same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

(Philippians The Lesson Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy:—"Having one God, one Mind, unfolds the power that heals the sick, and fulfills these saying of Scripture, "I am the Lord that health thee." and "I have found a ransom." When the divine precepts are understood, they unfold the foundation of fellowship, in which one mind is not at war with another, but all have one Spirit, God, one intelligent course, in accordance with the Scriptural command: Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
