CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
Are Sin, Disease, and Death
Real?" will be the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon.
The Golden Text is taken from
Psalms 6S:20: ''He that is our God
is the God of salvation; and unto
God the Lord belong the issues
from DEATH
Bible readings include the fol-
lowing passages: 1.-THE Lord is
good, a strong hold in the day of
trouble; and he knoweth them that
trust in him. But with an over
running flood he will make an ut
ter end of the place thereof, and
darkness shall pursue his enemies.
What do We imagine against the
Lord? he will make an utter
end; affection shall not rise up the
second time" Nahum 7-9). Every
good gift and every perfect gift is
from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights. with
whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning" (James lid.
Selections from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, in,
clude the following: God is of
purer eyes than to behold evil
We sustain Truth, not by accept
ing, but by rejecting a lie. Jesus
said of personified evil, that it was
"a liar, and the father of it. Truth
creates neither lie,. capacity to
lie, nor a liar. If mankind would
relinquish the belief that God
makes sickness, sin, and death, or
makes man capable of suffering on
account of this malevolent triad,
the foundation of error would be
Slapped and errors destruction en-
sured; but if we theoretically en-
dow mortals with the creativeness
and authority of Deity, how dare
we attempt to destroy what He
hath made, or even to deny that
God made man evil and made evil
good?" (357:4-16). "Sin, sickness,
and death must be deemed as de-
void Of reality as they are of good,
God" (page 525:28).
