The Golden Text will be: Paalms 00: 10. "Come and heat, all ye that fear God. And I with declare what he hath done for my soul."
Among others the following citations will be read from the Bible! "And il cane to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people to. that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines. although that was near; but Ged let-the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel ified up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were more afraid, and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward. But if thou up thy red, and stretch out thine trend over the non, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sen. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, (Exodus 13: 17, 18; 14: 9, 10, 15, 1b, 20).
-The following citations will also be read from the Christian Selence Textbonk. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy: "As the children of Israel were guided trium- phantly through the Red Sea, the dark abbing and towing Udes of human fes as they were led through the wilderness. walking wearily through the great desert of human hopes, and anticipating the promised Joy-so shall the spiritual iden guide all right desires in their passage from sense to Soul, from a materiki sansa of existence to the spiritual, up to the Flory prepared for them who love God."
