Christian Science Churches "Matter" will be the subject of the Liesson-Sermon in all Churches df Ohriist, Scientist, on Sunday, March 21. The Lesson-Sermon comprises quo tations from the Bible and from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Miary Baker Eddy. One of the Bible citations reads: "When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou ahalt Wess the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the Lord tiny God, in keeping his commandments, and Ms judgments, and' life statutes, which I thee this day: But thou shall remember the Lord thy God: far it Is he Ome stVBth thee power to get wealth, thiat he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy ifatfiers, as it Is this, day" (Deut S'10 11, IS).

Among selections from the Christian Science textbook Is the following: "Dost thou 'love the lord thy God' With all thy heart, and with all thy command includes much, even the iurreTuler of all marely materi-il sensation, affection, and worship.

Shaken in many of the beliefs which have umlcrslrdcd our modern civilization, our world 'has not been able to adjust its to the changes whtah modern science nnd industry have brought.

In great sections of hinmankind, the sense, t'hnt God is real and that Goit is alive has gone. The loss of faith in God explains much of the moral and spiritual failure of modern civilization. "God Is dead thicrcorc make me thy while not thic spoken word of ninny leaders, may be said to be the unspoken of certain movements in the world which almost deify temporary leaders. And this i-s not unknown in America. The statement, made not long ago by a resident of Emmet county, "I'm for Roosevelt no matter what ho does" was more revealing than the speaker realized.

For it revealed that he had lost contact with the eternal verities of God and was placing liis faith in one in spite of all bis good qualities 'la but a fallible Qiiuman being. God alone is, worthy of suoh a faith. Great nnd fundamental changes In human standards and life do not come as the. result of the will of parties, and organizations, social, Industrial or political, imposed on men by the power of majorities, groups or dictators without They come as the result of change of attitudes, mo- Mves iand purposes generated In the thinking of men land caroled over into the field of human endeavor. These attitudes, motives and purposes are Inherently religious and spiritual.

Even the professedly 'irneiligiaus Soviet Communism finds its real strength In the religious phase of life. Communism did not become a compelling movement until it become a religion In Its grift) on the ideals, attitudes and motives of votaries. Dr. Ivan C. Holt, past president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, said not tong ago, is no chance of a change in the moral and spiritual conditions of our time unless we come again to the conviction that God is alive." have therefore crane back to the statement with which we "We have got to make the church vital 01 something to happen, to America which we do not want to happen." How can this be This pre- Easter season is a 'fitting time, to consider the question.

For the answer we turn to a word or rather to several words spoken in troubled time: centuries ago, whiMi nevertheless are applicable to our diay as to the time when spoken. "Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man thought and let him return unto the 'Lord, and He will liavo mercy 'him and to our God fot He will abundantly pardon." (Isti. 55: 7) and out of that experience will come a vision Mke that whlcUi John had in the Isle of Patmos, "Fear not; I am the first and the last and the Living One, and behold I wias dead am alive forevennore and have the keys of death and of hell." (Re-. This is eternal life; that they may know Thee, the only true God and Jesus OhrJst whom thou hast sent," (John 17:3) wore the words df Him who come to reveal God and to make possible that fellowship with God which brings the full consciousness of Him Is real and alive In his world today.
