Peter saw when he acknowledged the
living Christ.
Christian Scientists are but touch
ing the hem of the Christly garment.
We are putting off the old for the new,
tho material for the spiritual. as
rapidly as possible. We do not claim
to have as yet reached the full stature
of manhood in Christ. But what we
have already attained in this direction
gives such promise and proof as to
encourage us to accept Christian
Science as the second appearing Of
Christ.
lesson-Sermons
The Bible and Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" are united
in divine Science: and what God hath
joined together no man can put
asunder. In the Church whose corner
stone is Christ. Truth. is to be found
safety and security from every device
Of a suppositional evil power. This is
why Christian Scientists accept the
Bible and Science nd Health as their
only Pastor in the study OF this new
old religion: new. because it reveals
the new man.; old. because the un.
folding of Christian Science can be
traced in an unbroken line from the
first account of creation in Genesis
through Revelation.
Our church services are devoid of
personal preaching. but we have in
spired sermon which we may study
daily as we'll as hear, read in church
on Sundays. These sermons are "un-
divorced from truth, uncontaminated
and u%nfettered by human hypothesis,
and divinely authorized" Explanatory
Note. Christian Science Quarterly.
That these Lesson-Sermons have
proved to be most valuable in estab'
fishing the teachings Of Christian
Science in the lives of its adherents
is attested to by all who have perceiv'
ed their spiritual nature and divine
potentialities.
In the home life Of Christian
Scientists. parents and children make
a practice of studying their Lesson
daily. and then seek to apply in the
home. the school, the office, factory
or shop whatever they can make prac
teal from their study OF the Lesson
Sermons. The spiritual education o.
children is very important and should
not be neglected. In the home where
the Lesson-Sermons are regularly
studied, and where there is an earnest
effort to have them yield their full
measure Of spiritual enlightenment
there is found a unity of purpose
which makes for cooperation ani
mutual respect. Spiritual growth ant
development bring forth in both
children and adults a wholesome
respect for moral values, and encour
age living up to high moral and ethica
standards.
