Show CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Isaiah 50:7 provides the golden gold-en text for the lesson-sermon on "Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Necro-mancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced," at all authorized Christian Science churches, on Sunday, May 29. It reads, "The Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed." Paul, writing from Rome to the Galatians, said, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill ful-fill the lust of the flest" (Gal. 5:16). Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, that "Animal magnetism has no scientific foundation, for God governs all that is real, harmonious and eternal, and his power is neither animal nor human. Its basis being a belief and this belief animal, an-imal, in Science animal magnetism, mag-netism, mesmerism, or hypnotism hypno-tism is a mere negation, possessing possess-ing neither intelligence, power, not reality, and in sense it is an unreal concept of the so-called mortal mind." |
