' The Golden Text was from Psalms 34:14, "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." Among the citations which comprised the lesson-sermon was the . fatlowing from the Bible: "I made me great works ; I builded me houses ; I planted me vineyards : Then I looked on all the works that my hand had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and behold, all was vanity a\ld vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun ... Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light ·excelleth darkness" (Ecd. 2 =4· 11, 13). 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: "When understanding changes the standpoints of life and intelligence from a material to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of Life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its divine Principle" (p. 322).

Mankind seems ~o have Qegun to ·s truggle with the defect as soon as he began to talk. TheQ_ries concerning its cause and remedies for relief and cure have been numerous and varied.
