CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LESSON SERMON FOR
 SERVICES ON SUNDAY

The subject of the Lesson-Ser- mon to be read in all Christian Science churches, Sunday, October II, will be, Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?"
 The Golden Text is from Psalms: salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people"
 One of the Bible verses if o m the Lesson Sermon is the follow ing from Isaiah: "The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save uS."
 A correlative quotation from Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy reads: Do not believe in any sup posed necessity for sin, disease, or death, knowing Gas you ought to know) that God never requires obedience to so-called material law, for no such law exists. The belief in sin and death is destroyed by the law of God, which is the law of Life instead of death, of harmony instead of discord, of Spirit instead of the flesh.'
