Adam and Fallen Man
Hymn 101
Scriptural Selection
John 1: 1, 3, 4, 14-17, 12-13 as; Isa. 2: 22
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 16-17

O, Give Thanks
Psalm 107, words
Robert J. Powell, music
O give thanks unto the Lord;
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
his steadfast love endures forever.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he hath redeemed from trouble.
O give thanks unto the Lord;
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good.
Whoever is wise,
whoever is wise, let him give heed to these things.
Let men consider the steadfast love, the love of the Lord.
O give thanks unto the Lord:
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
his steadfast love endures forever.

Revelation 12:9 the (to :)
. . . the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:

Mark 1:14 Jesus, 15; 16:17, 18; Luke 21:8, 15 I will; 10:3, 5, 9, 19, 20, 23 Blessed
. . . Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
. . . I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
. . . Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

Hymn 58
The scientific statement of being and its correlative scripture
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468:9-15)
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
(I John 3:1–3)

1 John 2: 24, 25
