"How I study the Bible Lesson —and put it into practice"

From the November 1995 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As you may have read in the notice on page 3, we'll soon be publishing a feature under the title "How I study the Bible Lesson—and put it into practice. "

Those of you who are thinking of contributing to this series may be interested to read an excerpt from remarks made by Dr. John M. Tutt, C.S.B., at a Periodicals Fruitage Meeting held in the Extension of The Mother Church on June 6, 1950, and later published in the Christian Science Sentinel. Dr. Tutt was a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science, and a longtime member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

I used to study the Lesson-Sermon in a determined attempt to arrive at the theme in the thought of the compilers of the Lesson, and I found at times not only some difficulty in arriving at such comprehension, but also an even greater problem in making such a conclusion meet my particular need. But when I began to realize that the Lesson-Sermon was especially for me in my present stage of consciousness, then instead of measuring myself to a fixed exhortation, I was able to gain the inspiration and comfort of my pastor's healing and saving ministration, and so the Lesson-Sermon was properly measured to my need.
