CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES.

Matter was the subject of the Les-son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday. The Golden Text was from Psalm SG: 4, “In God I will praise His Word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what fieslr can do unto me.” Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon were the fol l owing from the Bible: “Then I looked on all the works that my hand has wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and

there was no profit under tire sun. Then I saw that wisdom excellcth folly., as far as light excelleth darkness. For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy.” (Feel. 2: 10, 13, 26.) Also the following passages from the

Christian Science textbook, “Science and ilealth with Key to the Scriptares,” by Mnry . Baker Eddy : Matter and Mind are opposites. One is contrary to the other in its very nature and essence; lienee liotli cannot be real. If one is real the other must be unreal. Only by under-

standing that there is but one power not two powers, matter and Mind—are scientific and- logical conclusions reached.. The spiritual fact and the material belief of things are contradictions; but the spiritual is true, and therefore the material must be untrue.” (pp. 270. 259.)
