CHRISTIAN SCIENCE . .
SERVICES SUNDAY
That true happiness is to be
found through understanding the
spiritual laws which govern the
universe including man will be
brought out at Christian Science
services Sunday in the lesaon-
sermon entitled “Soul.”
The spiritual nature of. happi-
ness is set forth in the following
passage which will be among
those read from "Science and
ealth with Key to the Scrip-
;ures” by Mary Baker Eddy (60:
29-3):
“Soul has infinite resources with
which to bless mankind, and hap-
piness would be more rapidly at-
tained and would be more secure
In our keeping, if sought in Soul.
Higher enjoyments alone can sat-
isfy the cravings of immortal man.
We cannot circumscribe happiness
within the limits of personal
sense.”
The prophet Isaiah’s promise of
peace and joy to those who spir-
itually understand God will be in-
cluded in the readings from the
Bible (Isaiah 55:12): “For ye shall
go out with joy, and be led forth
with peace; the mountains and the
hills shall break forth before you
into singing, and all the trees of
the field shall clap their hands.”
