 Life" will be the subject of the lesson-sermon for Sunday, January 19.
 The Golden Text Is from Revela- tion 21:6-7. T will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and will be his God, and he shall be my son."
 Selections from the Bible include the following: "For in him we live, and move. and have our being" (Acts I7:28 to )
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following Opp. 468:27- 29; 469:1-6); Life is without be- ginning and without end. Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time Is no part of eter- nity. Y. Life is neither in nor of matter. What is termed matter is unknown to Spirit, which includes in itself all substance and is Life eternal. Matter is human con- cept. Life is divine Mind. Life is not limited. Death and influences are unknown to Life. If Life ever had a beginning, it would also have an ending"
