CHRISTIAN SCIENCE" will be
the subject Of the Lesson 6ermon.
The Golden Text Is from II John
/: o. HE that abideth in the doc
trine Of Christ, he hath both the
Father and the Son."
Selections from the Bible include
the following passages from Ezekiel
1881, 80: "Cast away from you all
your transgressions, whereby we
have transgressed; and make you
a new heart and new spirit: for
why will we die, o house Of Israel?
For have no pleasure In the death
of him that dieth, said the Lord
God: wherefore turn yourselves, and
live ye."
Reading from the Christian Sci
ence textbooks Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy, include the following
citation from page 405:5-ll: Chris
tan Science commands man to
master the propensities,-to hold
hatred In allegiance with kindness,
TO conquer lust with chastity, re-
venge with charity and to overcome
deceit with honesty. Choke these
errors in their early stages, II you
would not cherish an army Of con-
spirators against health, happiness,
and success

setting sin, and run with patients
the race that God had set before
them.
The triumph in that can be only
as we look into Jesus, the author
of our faith. II these Of the early
church were In q generation Of
greater privilege and opportunity
than had come to heroes and
prophets of the past, how much
more is that true Of the church
today, where In addition to the Old
Testament saints and the New
Testament saints, nearly 20 CEN
turtles of Christian faith and ex-
perience look down upon us. How
shall we fulfill our purpose In
spreading and intensifying the power
Of Christian faith?
What does 1t mean to bear witness
for Christ? Does 1t not mean today
precisely what 1t meant for these
early Christians, to speak freely and
plainly of what we have experienced
Of any blessing that the discovery Of
Jesus and his gospel has brought
to our lives?
Such witness need not be preach
Ing" Possibly we have left Witness
bearing too much to the preachers,
and made 1t too much formal func-
ton.
II we could see again, in the mod
ern world, groups of Christians so
fired with the reality Of Christian
truth and the JOY Of Christian ex-
perience that they could not con-
tain their enthusiasm, we should
see Christianity spreading as
whole to quarters where 1t has never
taken hold.
We should see 1t taking deeper
root in the places where 1t has long
been recognized, but often not taken
deeply into thought an daction.

The lessons Of the last quarter
have particular interest for modern
roots and sources Of the Christian
churches, because they tell Of the
church In the western world. The
quarters lessons began with the
story Of the Macedonian call, in
which, by vivid vision, Paul was
led to 20 from Asia into Europe.
Instead Of reviewing the various
events and stages marking the
spread of Christianity in southern
Europe, our lesson turns to the
Epistle Of the Hebrews to empha-
size q passage that deals with the
ongoing spirit Of the church.
The church In Europe was es-
tablished in witness-bearing. The
words Of salvation that came
through Jesus Christ were spread
and confirmed through faithful
witnesses as the lesson says, both
by signs and wonders, and by
manifold powers, and by gifts OF
the Holy Spirit"
AS the writer in Hebrews In
dicates, these witnesses were in q
long succession Of heroes Of faith.
Through faith such valiants az
Gideon, Barak, David, Samuel, and
other great Old Testament prophets
and men of action had subdued
kingdoms, wrought Righteousness,
and performed miraculous tasks.
They had endured temptation,
and had triumphed over all hin
ORANGES. Nothing had destroyed In
them their purpose TO witness their
faith.
Yet all these heroes had not re-
ceived the promise and the fulfill
ment that came through Jesus
Christ. It was for those to whom
dressed to receive the fulfillment
the Epistle to the Hebrews was ad-
Of prophecy and faith.
But these who had come into the
Christian heritage were surrounded
by q great cloud Of witnesses. In
their day Of opportunity, their SUI
preme duty and privilege was to
lay aside every weight and all be-
