Communion Lesson-Sermon of The Mother Church

In response to many requests we publish the special Lesson-Sermon prepared for The Mother Church and used June 10. The Lesson-Sermon for the Communion service in the branch churches will be found in the Christian Science Quarterly under date of July 9.—ED.

Subject: "ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO YE."

Golden Text: "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." Romans, 13:10.

Responsive Reading:—Matthew, 5 : 38—48.

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do go them that hate you, an pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therfore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
