Show CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ! I Corinthians 16:13 provides j the golden text for the lesson I sermon on "Ancient and Mod ern Necromancy, alias Mesmer-ism Mesmer-ism and Hypnotism denounced" i at all authorized Christian Sci- ence churches on Sunday, Nov. 26. It reads, "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like j men, be strong." j Other significant Biblical ci- : tations read, -There shall not be found among you any one I that maketh his son or his I daughter to pass through fire, or that useth a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord" (Deut. 18:10-12). Mary Baker Eddy writes in I Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, that -'Erring human hu-man mind-forces can work only evil under whatever name or pretence they are employed; for Spirit and matter, good and evil, light and darkness cannot mingle. Evil is a negation, because be-cause it is the absence of truth. It is nothing, because it is the absence of somethng. Every mortal must learn that there is neither power nor reality in evil" (p, 18 ). |
