Christian Science

"The creature itself also shall be
delivered from the bondage of cor
ruption into the glorious liberty of
the children of God' These words
of Paul's to the Romans are the
golden text in the lesson-sermon
on "Mortals and Immortals'' on
Sunday in all branches of The
Mother Church, The First Church
OF Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
The lesson-sermon includes these
Bible verses from Luke: "And, be-
hold, there was a woman which
had spirit Of infirmity 13 years,
and was bowed together, and could
in no wise lif5 up herself. And
when Jesus saw her, he called her
to Him, and said unto her, wom-
an, thou art loosed from thine in
firmity. And He laid His hands on
her: and Immediately she was
made straight, and glorified God. "
One of the passages from "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy
states: "When the illusion of sick
ness or sin telnpts you, cling stead
fastly to God and His idea. Allow
nothing but His likeness to abide
in your thought. Let neither fear
nor doubt overshadow your cleal
sense and calm trust, that the rec
ognition Of life harmonious-aS life
eternally is-can destroy any pain

which life is not.''
