WORDS OF CURRENT INTEREST

[The words in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly designated to be read in Christian Science churches on April 2, 1961.]

The "pinnacle" may have been the top of Solomon's Porch (compare John 10:23) or, perhaps, of the royal porch, which, according to Josephus, "commanded a dizzy abyss," or it may simply have been the topmost point of the main Temple building.
