Show CllRlSTIANSriENCE "Mortals and Immortals" is the the subject of the lesson-sermon at the Sunday service of the Christian Seierfce Society in Mil-ford Mil-ford Sunday, May 19. The Golden 'Text is: "This corruptible cor-ruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality" im-mortality" (I Corinthians 15:53). Included in the Scriptural reading read-ing is the following: "And Cain talked with AUfel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him" (Genesis 4:8). In the correlative reading are embodied the following passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "As both mortal man and sin have a beginning, they must consequently have an end, while the sinless, real man is eternal. . . . Eve's declaration, 'I have gotten a man from the Lord', supposes God to he the author of sin and sin's progeny. This false sense of existence is fratricidal. Error begins by reckoning life as separate from Spirit, thus sapping the foundations of immortality, as if life and immortality were something some-thing which matter can both give and take away" (p. 538).' |
