LESSON-SERMON

First Church of Christ, Scientist, Hong Kong

"Soul and body" was the subject of the Lasson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, November 24.

The Golden Text was: "My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation la from him" (Ps. 62:5).

Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "I have set the Lord always before me: be- cause he is at my right, hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory re- joleeth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;....in thy presence is fullness of joy: at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore" (Ps. 16:8-11).
