The Golden Text is from Genesis 18:25, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" The Lesson-Sermon comprises quotations from the Bible and from the Christian Science textbook, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Bake| Eddy• Oti~ of the Bible citations reads: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap Per he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he thai soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Galatians 6:7, 8). Among the selections from the Christian Science textbook is tbe following: "It were better to be ex- posed to every plague on earth than to endure the cumulative ef- fects of a guilty conscience. The abiding consciousness of wrongdo- ing tends to destroy the ability to do right. If sin is not regretted and is not lessening, then it is hast- ening on to physical and moral doom" (P. 405)• 311 First Avenue North. METHODIST CHURCH Lloyd A.
