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 July 16, 1961.]

Verily, verily (John 5:19,24.25)

In Greek, the word "verily" is represented by the word amen, which is properly a Hebrew word and is derived from a root that means "to be steadfast" or "to be firm." When used at the beginning of a sentence or clause, as m these verses, amen means "truly, surely, of a truth"; while the repetition of the word emphasizes still further the succeeding statements.

If thou be the Son of God (Matt. 4:3)
