"UNREALITY" is SUBJECT
Will Be Lesson-Sermon in Chris
tan Science Churches.

Unhealthy" is the subject of the
lesson sermon in all the Churches of
Christ Scientist tomorrow The golden
text is from Psalms, xciv.i, THE Lord
knoweth the thoughts of man, that they
are vanity"
Among the citations which comprise
the lesson sermon is the following from
the Bible: For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but Righteousness
and peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost.
Let us therefore follow after the things
which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another"
Romans, xiv.17-19) The leSson-sermon
also includes the following passage
from the Christian Science text book.
Science and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Mans enslavement to the most relent-
less masters-passion Self1shness, envy.
hatred and revenge-iS conquered only
by mighty struggle. Every hour of
delay makes the struggle more severe.
If man is not victorious over the pas
sions, they crush out happiness health
and manhood. Here Christian Science
is the sovereign panacea, giving strength
to the weakness of mortal mind
strength from the immortal and omni-
potent mind-and lifting humanity
above itself into purer desires, even into
spiritual power and good will to man. "
