LESSON SERMON,
FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST HONG KONG,
"Reality" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist on Sunday, March
30.
The Golden Text was: "The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his beart to all generatina" (Psalms 33: 11).
Among the citations' which'` com-. prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosta; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God, Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thae from that time, and have declared it ye are even my witnesses. Is there & God beside me yea, there is no God: I know not any. (18. 448, 8).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ- ed the following passages from the Christian Science text-book, "Bcience, and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy. Christian Bcience reveals incontrovertibly that Mind is All- in-all, that the only realities are the divine Mind and idea. This great fact is not, however, seen to be supported by sensible evidence, until its divine Principle is demon- strated by healing the sick and thus proved absolute and divine" (n. 10 9),
