Christian Science Churches "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, December 19. The Golden Text was from Psalms 75:1, "Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare." Among the citations which compris- ed the Lesson-Sermon was the follow- ing from the Bible: "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. And we know that the Son of God is come, and 'hath given us an understanding, that 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 Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Chris- tian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "The true theory of the universe, including man, is not in material history but in spiritual de- velopment. Inspired thought relin- quishes a material, sensual, and mortal theory of the universe, and adopts the spiritual and immortal" (p. 547).
