CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

"Life" will be the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all Church
es and Societies of Christ, Scient-
list, on January 10, 1886.
The Golden Text will be from
I / John 5:11. "This is the record,
that God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son."
Among the citations which com
prise the Lesson-SermOn is the
following from the Bible: "The
fear of the Lord tendeth to life;
and he that hath it shall abide sat
isfied; he shall not be visited with
evil" proverbs 1929
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: "If God had instituted ma
terial laws to govern man, DISC
bedience to which would have
been i'll, Jesus would not have dis
regarded those laws by healing in
direct opposition to them and IN
defiance of all material condi-
tons.
"The transmission of disease or
of certain idiosyncrasies of NOR
tai mind would be impossible if
this great fact of being were
learned,-namely, that nothing
inharmonious can enter being, for
Life is God" page 227O

their meaning. if the words are
to carry a mighty force, we must
go behind them into the very
heart and mind of the speaker. 1t
is what lies back Of them that
gives the words of Jesus their
tremendous pswer. .. ...'. ......
B.. We must discover the kind
of person who could have such an
experience. In this way we ex-
plore the personality of our Lord
The question as to the person of
Jesus must be answered by this
generation in an honest investi-
cation. We cannot expect to
plumb the depths, but before we
go very far we shall discover I'M
searchable riches. Paul is the pio-
neer investigator into the person
of Jesus, and we can follow his
leadership with safety. If we will
follow these three rules in our
study Of Luke, we shall come out
enriched in mind and strengthen
ed in faith. :"
TEACHING THE LESSON
There is little need Of sugges-
ton as to the method of teaching
this lesson. The passage is a mar
velous introduction to the minis
try of Jesus. We are standing on
the threshold of His active life of
service; here we see the steps
that prepared both Him and the
people for His mission.
GENERAL. QUESTIONS
How do Matthew, Mark and
Luke compare in their accounts
of the ministry of John? How as
to the Temptation? How does
Luke date the ministry Of John?
What was the nature of his min
istry? Why did the people flock
to hear him? How do you account
for his severity? Why did John
baptize? How would the baptism
administered by Jesus differ from
that of John? What gives us an
insight into the spirit of John.
Why was Jesus baptized? What
strength and comfort came to Him
at His baptism? Why did Jesus go
into the wilderness? What is
meant by temptation? On what
did Satin base the temptations?
In what respect was Jesus tempt
ed as we are?
NEXT LESSON
Luke 4:16-44 is a rich pas
sage. 1t takes us into the minis
try of Jesus, and brings us to the
study of His objectives. Read with
thought and prayer these verses,
seeking to discover through them
the aim of Jesus in His ministry.

CHRISTIANITY MUST REJECT
- THE AUTOCRATIC STATE

do only what the state, supreme
in all things, permits him to do.
There is no doubt that such a
theory is contrary to the Ameri-
can theory of the State, as exem-
plified in the Declaration of IN
dependence: "the just rights of
the state are derived from the
consent of the governed"-note,
not a bare majority Of the gov
erned, but of the governed. By
this the rights of the individual
precede those of the State.
!, Moreover, the theory is anti
Christian. To the Christian there
is but one supreme authority, AL
mighty God. 1t may be that Gods
will is not yet fully known and
J that men may have diverse views
of His will. Yet in theory, God
alone is Absolute and Supreme.
Statism involves in it, not only
supremacy, but final knowledge.
Finality is embodied in the ruler
or rulers for the time being. That
is, when a majority of rulers or
dictator declare that it is NOR
ally wrong to drink a glass of
wine, it is wrong, or, as in Ger
many, Christianity must yield be-
fore Hitlerism.
No wonder people deified the
Roman emperor as the incarna-
ton of the Goddess Rome. This
is the logical sequence of Statism.
All of US, whether consciously
OF unconsciously, have philoso-
ply of life. We have an answer
to the questions-What is man?
Why was he created? What is the
purpose of all he does? What are
the social units in which he finds
! himself? The answers to these
have much to do with the way
a man lives.
Christianity has definite an
swers to all of these. 1t agrees
with modern science in proclaim
I ing that man is the crown of
Gods creation and it asserts that
man is more than an animal-he
is a moral being and Gods plan
and purpose in His creation is
that man, the moral being, is a
spiritual being, whose destiny is
to become the son of God. 1t also
sets forth man as social being
and that as such, man must live
with his fellows in a community.
a state, a nation. -.
So Christianity deals with man
as an individual and man as a
unit in more OF less large group.
But Christianity looks on these
aspects as complementary.
1t says that man is a moral be-
ing, and as such, possesses free
dom of will. Without freedom of
will there can be no morals. I'm
less there is a choice of action
there can beNno moral good. Nor
ais fundamentally rest upon
choice, i. e., freedom. This is the
teaching of the Sermon on the
Mount. The center of mans life
IS this freedom of will. When a
mans will is self-controlled, there
is possibility of harmonious ac-
ton, be this good or bad. But
when a mans will is prevented of
action by external force, mans

(Rev. H. P. Scratchley, D. D.,

STUDYING THE LESSON

By John c. Sller, ID. ID.
| DISCUSSION
! The delightful task before us
! in this study of Luke's Gospel is
! to come to know the Jesus Of
Luke. To accomplish this we must
do much more than to become ia
miIar with Luke's beautiful and
interesting story, we must, learn
to explore the mind, heart, and
personality of Jesus as he is made
known to us. To do this three rul-
es must be obServed-rules made
use of in the Interpretation of
any personality.
/. We must give the words Of
Jesus the meaning he meant them
to have. 1t is not what we read
into words of another that gives
their true significance, but what
the speaker or writer actually
meant. 1t is easy to twist the
words of another into an interpre-
tation of our own. but to do this
is to be dishonest. The words Of
Jesus have not always received
Just treatment. Men have often
misinterpreted his words for their
own advantage. From this point
on we shall come upon words ac-
tually spoken by Jesus. These
words hold the key to our under
standing of our Lord. Our first
duty is to honestly seek out just
what Jesus meant by the utter
ance. We cannot jump at con-
illusions, nor can we take a sem
tence here and there-the whole
context must be given due weight
in our Interpretation. This is the
value of studying a book in its
entirety.
2. We must seek to discover
the experience that gave origin to
the words. Words are expressions
of our experiences when they are
sincerely spoken. Jesus was sim
cere. He spoke out of the depths
of his experience, and often his
experience is too profound for us,
but it is a gain to discover that.
What must have been the eXper-
fence or consciousness Of one who
said, 81 came not to be minister
ed unto, but to minister, and to
give my life ransom for manyw
This is what we mean by thinking
into the mind Of Christ. 1t is not
enough to know the words and
