CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Substance” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all the Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, 15th September. i
The golden text was Hebrews 10: 34. “Ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and more enduring substance.’-
Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible, “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever and my righteousness shall not be abolished.” (Isa. 51:6)
Also the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy, “Spirit, the synonym for Mind, Soul or God. is the only real substance. The spiritual universe, including individual man, is a compound idea, reflecting the divine substance of Spirit. That matter is substantial or has life and sensation, is one of the false beliefs of mortals, and exists only in a supposititious mortal consciousness. Hence as we approach Spirit and Truth, we lose the consciousness of matter.” 278)
