CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
“Ancient and Modern Necromacy. Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced,” was the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ. Scientist, yesterday. The golden text was Matt, xxiv, 4: "Take heed that no man deceive you.”
Among the citations which comprised the lesson-sermon were the following from the Bible: “Put on the whole armour of God, that yo may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of dorkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness iu high places" (Eph. vi, 11, 12).
Also cited were the following passsages from the Christian Science textbook. “Science and Health, With Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker" Eddy, “Human will is an animal propensity, not a faculty of soul. Henee it cannot govern man aright. Christian Science reveals truth and love as the motive powers of man. Will—blind, stubborn, headlong—-co-operates with appetite and passion. From this co-operation arises its evil. From this also comes its powerlessness, since nil power belongs to God. good" (p. 490).
