LESSON SERMON.

FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, HONGKONG

"Adam and fallon man" was tho subject of the Lesson-Sermon In all Churches of Christ, Scientist, yesterday.

The Golden Text was, "That which is born of the flesh is fideh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3: 6.)

Among the cltations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was tho following from the Bible: "Then spake Jesus again unto them, say- ing, I am the light of the world: ho that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record la not true. Jesus answer- ed and said unto them, Though I hear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whenco 1 came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go... Yo are from be- neath; I am from above: yo are of this world; I am not of this world" (John 6: 12-14,23.)

The Leacon-Sermon also in- eluded the following passages from the Christian Science text- book, "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Jehovah declared the ground was accursed; and from this ground, or matter, aprang Adam, notwithstanding God had blessed the carth "for man's sake."** From this it follows that Adam was not the ideal man for whom the earth was blessed. The ideal man was revealed in due time, and was known na Christ Jesus." (P. 338: 27.)

he was headed for Aaper's room.

She reached the steps well out of breath. Swergin had gone to his office instead of to her father's room. Dona sat down to catch her breath. She meant to stay right there until the timber boss came out.

Swergin remained in his office through the supper hour. Dona carried Asper's tray of food to him and waited while he ate but the big boss did not come out of his office. Dudley appeared, looking fresh and rested. He sat beside Asper while Dann went to snatch a bite of din- ner. She was able to whisper to him to watch for Swargin as she

went out.

Darkness had settled as Dona re- tumed from the cook cabin. There was a promies of a moon in a few hours. She beard voices in her fa- ther's com and ran up the atope. Swergin was standing in the middle. of the floor, his feet planted wide. On his face was a stubborn expres- sion and ble massive chin was thrust forward aggressively. Asper Deol was sitting up and he was shaking with anger.
