The Golden Text was Heb. 13; 16: “T 0 Jo good a.nd to communicate forget not; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Among the citations which comprised the Lcoson-Sermoii were the following from tho Bible; “Seeing then that we have a great High 1 nest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast oin profession. For we have not a h.gh priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; bnt was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Heb. 4: 14. 10.) Also the following passagrs from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Christian Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “When will Jesus’ professed followers learn to emulate Him in all His ways and to imitate His mighty works?'First in the list of Christian duties, He taught His followers the healing power of Truth and Love. He attached no importance to dead ceremonies. It is tho living Christ, the practical Truth, which makes Jesus ‘the resurrection and the life’ to ill who follow Him in deed. Obeying His precious precepts, following his demonstration so far as we apprehend it, wc drink of His cup, parte ko of His bread, are baptised with His purity: and at last we shall rest, s.t down with Him, in a full understanding of the Divine Principle which tuumphs over death.” (pp. 37, 31.)
