Recapitulation I

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
II Cor. 13:11 1st Be
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Gen. 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Deut. 30:19 2nd I, 20 (to 2nd :)
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:
I John 4:6, 7, 8
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ... He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Question. — What is God?
Answer. — God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.
Question. — Are these terms synonymous?
Answer. — They are. They refer to one absolute God.
Question. — Is there more than one God or Principle?
Answer. — There is not. Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe.

SH 698:22-7
A GRATEFUL TESTIMONY“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
This has been proven to me in every way. When Christian Science came to me, I was a wreck, physically, mentally, and financially; but since the reading of Science and Health turned my thought toward the light, I have found that, as far as I am willing to receive the word and live it, all comforts are supplied me. I am especially grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this year, and am satisfied. Through the careful and prayerful study of Science and Health I have been lifted from sickness to health, from sorrow to peace, from lack to plenty, and, the most beautiful of all, from darkness to light.  — Mrs. H.

John B. DykesSun of our life, thy quickening raySheds on our path the glow of day;Blest star of hope, thy softened lightCheers the long watches of the night.
Lord of all life, below, above,Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,Before Thy ever blazing throneWe ask no luster of our own.
Grant us Thy truth to make us free,And kindling hearts that burn for Thee,Till all Thy living altars claimOne holy light, one heavenly flame.

PEACE
Arr. from W. A. MozartHappy the man whose heart can rest,Assured God’s goodness ne’er will cease;Each day, complete, with joy is blessed,God keepeth him in perfect peace.
God keepeth him, and God is one,One Life, forevermore the same,One Truth unchanged while ages run;Eternal Love His holiest name.
Dwelling in Love that cannot change,From anxious fear man finds release;No more his homeless longings range,God keepeth him in perfect peace.
In perfect peace, with tumult stilled,Enhavened where no storms arise,There man can work what God hath willed;The joy of perfect work his prize.

Music by permission of Mrs. H. W. ParkerBe true and list the voice within,Be true unto thy high ideal,Thy perfect self, that knows no sin,That self that is the only real.
God is the only perfect One:My perfect self is one with Him;So man is seen as God’s own son,When Truth dispels the shadows dim.
True to our God whose name is Love,We shall fulfill our Father’s plan;For true means true to God above,To self, and to our fellow-man.


Hymn 416:1-3 (to .)
Be true and list the voice within,Be true unto thy high ideal,Thy perfect self, that knows no sin,That self that is the only real.
God is the only perfect One:My perfect self is one with Him;So man is seen as God’s own son,When Truth dispels the shadows dim.
True to our God whose name is Love,We shall fulfill our Father’s plan;For true means true to God above,To self, and to our fellow-man.
