Show CHRIST1ANSCIENCE "Man" is the subject of the lesson-sermon to be conducted at the Sunday service of the Christian Science Society in Milford September Sep-tember 8. The Golden Text is: "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 8: 16, 17). Among the Biblical citations is the following verse: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (II Corinthians Corin-thians 3: 18). Correlative to the citations is the following passage from "Science "Sci-ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "He (man) is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas; the generic term for all that reflects re-flects God's image and likeness; the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is the reflection of God,, or Mind, and therefore is eternal; that which has- no separate mind from 'God; that which has not a single quality underived from Deity; that which possesses no life, intelligence, in-telligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that belongs to his Maker" (p. 475). |
