Christian Science

Pauls question, Know ye not
that We are the temple Of God, and
that the Spirit Of God dwelleth in
you?' constitutes the golden text
for the lesson on Soul
and Body" on Sunday III all
branches Of The Mother Church,
The First Church Of Christ, Scien-
tist. IN Boston, Mass.
Among the Scriptural citations
are the following verses from Mat
thew. And great multitudes came
unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb
manned, and many others, and
cast them down at Jesus feet; and
He healed them; insomuch that
the multitude wondered, when they
saw the dumb to speak, the manned
to be whole, the lame to walk, and
the blind TO see: and they glori-
fled the God OF Israel"
one of the correlatiVe passages
from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy, states, Knowing that
Soul and its attributes were for-
ever manifested through man, the
Master healed the sick, gave sight
to the blind, hearing to the deaf,
feet to the lame, thus bringing to
light the scientific action OF the
divine mind on human minds and
bodies and giving a better under
standing of soul and salvation.
