)
“Everlasting Punishment” was
the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, May 1.
The Golden Text was, “Have I
any pleasure at all that the wicked
should die? saitli the Lord God: and
not that he should return from his
ways, and live?” (Ezek. IS: 23).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: “Now no
chastening for the present seemeth
to be joyous, but grievous: neverthe
less afterward it yieldeth the peace
able fruit of righteousness unto them
which are exercised thereby” (Heb
rews 12:11).
The Lesson-Sermon also in
cluded the following passages from
the Christian Science textbook,
“Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“Man's wisdom finds no satisfaction
in sin. since God has sentenced sin
to suffer . . . Through the whole
some chastisements of Love, we are
helped onward in the march towards
righteousness, peace, and purity,
which are the landmarks of Science”
(p. 322-323).
