adam and Fallen Man" was the
subject of the lesson-sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, November II.
The golden text was from Romans
11:26: "All Israel shall be saved, as
it is written. There shall come out
of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn
away ungodliness from Jacob"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "And God
said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness. But there went up
a mist from the earth, and watered
the whole face of the ground" (Gen-
esis 1926, 2:6).
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy. 'It
may be worth while here to remark
that, according to the best scholars,
there are evidences of two distinct
documents in the early part of the
book of Genesis. The science of the
first record proves the falsity of the
second" 1928, 522.).
