CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

“Soul and body” was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday. The Golden Text was Jsa. 58:10: “If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day.” Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “Beloved 1 wish above all tilings that thou mayest prosper and he in health, even as thy soul prospereth; for I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.” (IN. John 1: 2,3). Also the following passages from the Christian Science textbook. “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Alary Baker Eddy: “Our theories make the same mistake regarding soul and body that Ptolemy made regarding the solar system. They insist that soul is in body and mind therefore tributary to matter. Astronomical science has destroyed the false theory ns to the relations of the celestial bodies, and Christian Science will surely destroy the greater error as to our terrestrial bodies. The true idea and Principle of man will then appear.” (p. 122).
