Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.” (Hab. 2-19). Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon are the following: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee. Ye must be born again.” (John 3, 6-7). “Mortals must gravitate Godward. their affections and aims grow spiritual, they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite, in order that sin and mortality may be put off.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy).
