Golden Text: Psalms 1914. Re
joice the soul of thy servant: for
unto thee, o Lord, do life up my
soul
A Bible citation from the lesson
sermon: l Cor. 6:19, 20. What?
know We not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is
in you, which ye have of God, and
we are not your own? 20. For ye
are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and In
your spirit, which are Gods.
Correlative from the textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker

1ect anything inferior to Spirit
