The Lesson Sermon will also in- clude the following passages from
Christian the
Scienco Textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "God creates and governs the uni- verse, including man. The universe is filled with spiritual ideas which Ho evolves and they are obedient to the Mind that makes them. Only by understanding that there but one power,-not two powers, Matter and Mind, are selenlifte and logical con- clusions reached. Few deny the hypothesis that intelligence, apart from man and matter, governs the universe; and it is generally admit- ted that this intelligence is the eternal Mied or Divine Principle, Love."
