CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LESSON SERMON
Subject: "Doctrine Of Atonement"
The subject of the Lesson Sermon in all Christian Science. Churches to- morrow, October 15th will be "Doc- trine of Atonemen."
The Golden Text will be:-"If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Right- eous." (I. John, 2:1).
Among others the following cita- tions will be read from the Bible:-- "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we- esteemed him not. But he was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastise- ment of our peace was upon him; 'and with his stripes we are healed. Great- er love hath no man than this, that: a man lay down his life for his friends." (Isa. 53. 3, 5; John 15:13).
The following citations will also be read from the Christian Science Text- book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Ed- dy:"Jesus bore our infirmities; he knew the error of mortal belief, and 'with his stripes (the rejection of er- ror) we are healed.' Despised and rejected of men, returning blessing for cursing, he taught mortals the oppo- site of themselves, even the nature of
