CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Thus saitht the LORD, What in
iquity have your fathers found in
me, that they are gone far from me
and have walked after vanity, and
are become vain?" This verse from
jeremiah is the Golden Text in the
LesSon-Sermon on "Unreality'' on
Sunday in all branches of The
Mother Church. The First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston Mas
sachuSetts.
A Scriptural selection in the Les
Son-Sermon includes these words of
Christ Jesus, from Matthew: Be
ware of false prophets, which come
to you in sleeps clothing, but in
Wardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits.
DO men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles? A good tree can
not bring forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. Another selection cites the
statements of John: I'm the begin
ring was the Word, and the Word
was with God. and the Word was
God. All things were made by
him; and without him was ont nay
thing made was made.
One of the correlatiye passages
from Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures. by Mary Baker
Eddy, states: Everything good or
worthy, God made Whatever is
valueless or baneful. He did not
make,-hence its unreality."
