 Bible readings include the following passages from Matthew 1l:2-6: Now when John had heard in pris- on the works of Christ. he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus an- swered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which yedo hear and see: The blind re- ceive their sight, and the lame walk. the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, who- soever shall not be offended in me-"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy. include the following from page 131: 26-30: "The mission of Jesus confirmed prophecy, and explained the so- called miracles of olden times as na- tural demonstrations of the divine power, demonstrations which were not understood.
