And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and ‘we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life (I John 1:5; 5:20). < The Lessonâ€"Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scripâ€" tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "The true theory of the universe, including man, is not in material history but in spiritual development. Inspired thought relinquishes a material, senâ€" sual, and mortal theory of the uniâ€" verse, and adopts the spiritual and immortal" (p. 547). . ' "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" was the subject of ‘the Lessonâ€"Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, December 19. .

For this reason the amount of water revenue colléected was obâ€" taingd from the city collector for the months of October and November.
