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 26, 1964.]

In the original Greek this phrase is stronger and more positive than it appears in our familiar English version, for the verb rendered '"overcome" is nikao, meaning "conquer," which in turn is derived from the noun nike, the regular Greek word for "victory."

The Lamb which is in the Midst of The Throne Shall Feed Them (Rev. 7:17)
