CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church service
report for Sunday, March 90. Sub
ject, Matter"
Golden text: Isaiah 40:6, z. All
flesh is grass, and all the goodli-
ness thereof is as the flower of the
field: the grass withereth, the flow
er fadeth: because the spirit of the
Lord bloweth upon it.
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: Matt. 1924, 20. Therefore
whosOever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, l will
liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock: rs.
And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and il
fell not: for it was founded upon
a rock.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The testimony of the mate
rial senses is neither absolute nor
divine. therefore plant myself
unreservedly on the teachings Of
Jesus, of his apostles, of the pro-
phets, and on the testimony of the
Science of Mind. Other foundations
there are none. All other systems
systems based wholly or partly
on knowledge gained through the
senses-are reeds shak-
EN- by the wind, not houses built on
the rock.
