CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

God shall bring every work into
Judgment. with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it
be evil These words from Eccles-
tastes are the Golden Text in the
son-Sermon on Probation after
Death on Sunday in all Churches
of Christ, Scientist.
Among the Bible passages in the
LesSon-Sermon is this verse from
James: Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation: for when he
is tried he shall receive the crown
OF life, which the Lord hath prom
lSed to them that love him." These
words OF Peter are also included:
Feed the flock of God which is
among you, taking the oversight
thereof, not by constraint, but will
lngly; not for filthy lucre, but of q
ready mind :. And when the chief
Shepherd shall appear, ye shall re-
ceive crown of glory that fadeth
not away . Humble yourselves
therefore unto the mighty hand of
God, that he may exalt you in due
time: casting all your care upon
him; for he careth for you"
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures, -
by Mary Baker Eddy, states: I'm
perfect mortals grasp the ultimate
OF spiritual perfection slowly: but
to begin Alright and to continue the
strife Of demonstrating the great
problem of being, is doing much.
