Christian Science

Morning service 11 a.m., Evening service, 8 p.m. Sunday school, 11 a.m. Wednesday evening meetings, 8 p.m. "ARE SIN, DISEASE, AND DEATH REAL?" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read throughout the world on Sunday, October 12. The Golden Text is: "He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death" (Psalms 68: 20). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "If Sin, sickness, and death are as real as Life, Truth, and Love, then they must all be from the same source; God must be their author. Now Jesus came to destroy sin, sickness, and death; yet the Scriptures aver, 'I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.' Is it possible, then, to believe that the evils which Jesus lived to destroy are real or the offspring of the divine will?" (474:16).
