Item of Interest

From time to time Readers in Christian Science churches receive descriptive literature relating to so-called helps in their work, in the form of outlines, citations, or lists of selections.

It is the responsibility of those who conduct the church services to choose Scriptural readings and benedictions for the Sunday services and to select passages from the Bible and from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for reading at the Wednesday evening meetings, and this responsibility should never be delegated to others. When these selections are the result of diligent and consecrated research and prayer on the part of the Reader, they will never appear stereotyped and cold, but will glow with the radiant vitality that evidences inspiration and "the fruit of the Spirit."

Excellent benedictions suitable for reading at the conclusion of Sunday services are to be found in the writings of St. Paul and in the Old Testament, as well as elsewhere in the New Testament. They should be concise, continuous statements, not combined verses or parts of verses from different books of the Bible. The benediction should constitute a fitting close for the Lesson-Sermon.
