The vital importance for all
mankind of the resurrection of
Christ Jesus will Ire stressed
Sunday at Christian Science
services.
Scriptural selections will in-
clude accounts from Matthew.
Mark. Luke, and John of inci-
dents in the life of Jesus, in-
cluding the betrayal in Geth-
semane, the crucifixion, and
his resurrection.
Fron “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy these pass-
ages w 11 be read <pp. 292, 293 r
"Truth will be to us ‘the re-
surrect on and the life’ only as
it destroys all error and the
belief that Mind, the only im-
mortality of man, can be fet-
tered by the body, and Life be
controlled by death. ... In his
resurrection and ascension
Jesus showed that a mortal
man is not the real essence of
manhood, and that this unreal
material mortality disappears
in the presence of the reality.”

Trulv inspiring is a quote
from Helen Keller’s "The Open
Door,” published by Doubleday
and made into a Talking Book
I by the American Foundation
j for the Blind. “I believe that

: to the fulfillment of God’s
Will, and that when the will of
’ God is done on earth as it is
in heaven, every man will love
his fellow men and act toward
them as he desires they should
act toward him. I believe that
the we fare of each is bound
up in the welfare of all.”
