in spite of our many cares and

The Christmas Seal reminds us
of the job we all have to do at

our men may have the materials
with which to fight. We must

Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible
“For though there be that are
called gods, whether in heaven or
in earth, (as there be gods many,
and lords many,) but to us there
is but one God, the Father, of
whom are all things, and we in
him” (I Cor. 8:5,6.
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage front
the Christian Science textbook
“Science nad Health with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “God, the divine principle
of man, and man in God's likeness
are inseparable, harmonious, and
eternal. The science of being furn
ishes the rule of perfection, and
brings immortality to light. God
and man are not the same, but in
the order of divine science, God
and man coexist and are eternal.
God is the parent mind, and man
is Gocl's spiritual offspring” (P.
336).
