CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES.
“Unreality” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday. The Golden Text was Ecclesiastes 1:2: “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “Thus said the Lord the King of Israel, and His redeemer the Lord of Hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity ; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.” (Isaiah 44:6, 9.) Also the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Mortal mind is ignorant of self, or it could never he self-deceived. If mortal mind knew how to be better, it would be better. Since it must believe in somethin'' besides itself, it enthrones matter as deity. Here you may see how socalled material sense creates its own forms of thought, gives them material names, and then worships and tears them. With pagan blindness, it attributes to some material god or medicine an ability beyond itself.” (pp. 186, 18/.)
