WHAT IS MAN?
Man” was the subject of the lessonsermon In First Church of Christ, Scientist, Auckland, yesterday. The golden text was from Psalms, cxix.: 65, 73: “Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O Lord, according unto Thy Word. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me.”
Among the citations was the following from the Bible: "But one In a certain place testified, saying. What is man, that Thou are mindful of him? or the son of man that Thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet..”
The lesson-sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures”: “Man is the offspring not of the lowest, but of the highest qualities of mind. Man understands spiritual existence in proportion as his treasures of truth and love are enlarged. Mortals must gravitate Godward. their affections and aims grow spiritual—they must near broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite—in order that sin and mortality may be put off.”
