MEANING OF SPIRIT
“Spirit” was the subject of the lesson-sermon in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Auckland, yesterday. The golden text was from Romans viii., 10: “The Spirit is life because of righteousness.” Among the citations was the following from the Bible: — “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.” The lesson-sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook: “The Divine demand, ‘Be ye therefore perfect,’ is scientific, and the human footsteps leading to perfection are indispensable. . . . God requires perfection, but not until the battle between spirit and flesh is fought and the victory won. . . . This task God demards us to accept lovingly today, and to abandon as fast as may he practical the material, and to work out the spiritual which determines the outward and aclual.”
