The Golden Text was, "The Spirit itself bcareth witness with fcur spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" (Romans 17). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "But we all, with open face beholding as in glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" Corinthians The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook.

"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." by Mary Baker Eddy: "Man is idea, the image, of Love; he is not physique. He is the compound idea of God, including nil right ideas; -the generic term for all that reflects 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 bus no separate mind from God; that which has not a single quality tin- derived from Deity; tbnt which possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of bis own. but reflects spiritually nil that belongs to his Maker" (p. 475). at 7:30 o'clock.
