LESSON SERMON

· FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST,

SCIENTIST-HONG KONG

"Substance" was. the" subject of the Lesson-Sermon which was read in all Churches of Christ Scientist, on Sunday, September 10th.

The Golden Text was: "Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever: and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations" (Psalms 135:13).

Among the citations which com- prized the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "...Lay not up for yourselves, treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth, corrupt, and where theives break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in hea- ven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where theives do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also"...(Matt. 8: 19-21).

The Lesson-Sermon also includ- ed the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Scien-* ce and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: laid up "where moth and rust doth cor- rupt. Mortality is their doom, Sin "Sensual treasures are

breaks in "upon them, and carries of their fleeting joys. The sen sualist's affections are as imagin- ary, whimsical, and unreal as his pleasures Falsehood, envy, hypo- erlay, malice, hate, revenge, and so forth, steal away the treasures of Truth" (p. 241), p.4.
