CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES.
“Substance” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday. The Golden Text was Hebrews 10:34: “Ye had compassion of Me in My bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowng 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 m tike manner: but My salvation shall be for ever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished.” (Isa. 51:6). Alsc 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.” (pp. 4CB, 278). . .
