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 December 29, 1963.]

I will lay thy stones with fair colours (Isa. 54:11)

My kindness shall not depart from thee (Isa. 54:10)
