ferences. "Mind" is the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon which will be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist on
Sunday. August 24.
The Oolden Text is: ‘ Who hath
known the mind of the Lord, that
he may instruct him? <1 Corinth-
ians 2:16*
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible All thy
works shall praise thee. O Lord:
and thy saints shall bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of
thy kingdom, and talk of thy pow-
er; To make known to the sons of
men his mighty acts, and the glor-
ious majesty of his kingdom"
‘Psalms 145:10-121.
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Crlstlan Science textbook. "8cience
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures." by Mary Baker E<ldy: "God
is Mind, and God is infinite: hence
all is Mind. On this statement rests
the Science of being, and the
Principle of this Science is divine,
demonstrating harmony and im-
mortality” 'page 492 ‘
