when heat cometh, but her leaf shall
be green; and shall not be careful
in the year of drought, neither shall
cease from yielding fruit" der.
TIT, 81.
The lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science

tails are the counterfeits of immor-
tails. They are the children of the
wicked one, or the one evil, which
declares that man begins in dust or
as material embryo. . MortalS
will disappear, and immortals, or
the children of God, will appear as
the only and eternal verities of man.
MortalS are not fallen children of
God. They never had a perfect
state of being, which may subse-
quent1y be regained. They were,
from the beginning of mortal his
tory, conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity' y.
