NECROMANCY is TOPIC

Denounce Mesmerism.

Ancient and Modern Necromancy,
alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, De-
nounced" is the subject of the lesson
sermon in all the Churches Of Christ,
Scientist, tomorrow.
The golden text is from jeremiah,
xxix.8,9: Thus saith the Lord Of hosts,
the God of Israel; let not your prophets
and your OWNERS, that be in the midst
of you, deceive you. neither harken to
your dreams which We cause to be
dreamed. For they prophesy falsely
unto you in my name: have not sent
them, saith the Lord"
Among the citations which comprise
the lesson sermon is the following from
the Bible: He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the spirit saith unto
the churches; to him that overcometh
will l give to eat of the hidden mama,
and will give him a white stone, and
in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that
receiveth it." (Revelation HID The
lesson-sermon also includes the follow
ing passage from the Christian Science
Text Book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: Mankind must learn that evil
is not power. It's so-called deSpotism is
but a phase of nothingness. Christian
Science despoils the kingdom of evil,
and -eminently promotes affection
and virtue in families and therefore in
the community"
