f fTTHE preparedness, "safety efficiency
' A of Jesus- were 4he result of bis de
'monstrable knowledge, , the scienco.f
-' toeing which constituted hut Christianity,
i This -Christianity was no mere cere-
moniallsm or belief. It .was. the science
of living; and of living- more abundantly ;
-the -.science, of .health, V of, peace, of
.." blessedness; the science, that made Jesus
ithe. Savior, ' deliverer; ' redeemer ; the
ecienc which be came to? teach man-
kind, r In a word, it was itheunder-
standing- of Ood, the supreme power
; that 'la all good and always with. us.
' ', Must not we then ' in' order to
i S Christians,' to ' benefit by this
Christianity, gain this understanding of
Jod? Must not we ask who or what is
this God .of whom Jesus had such Inti-
mate, exact knowledge or science?
; t Going to this master Jew, this master
i Christian, - what do , we learn. God a?
tomething different from what was in
' the beginning t ... Not at all... .,
I it should be remembered that Jesus
I did not .write; he spoke, i He spoke to
f his own people, the common people who
I- heard him gladly; and he spoke in their
t tongue; One of the very few Instances
- preserved to us of what he said in that
I tongue is An thes words whlch'-preceded
I his giving up the "ghost, the mere sem
t blance of life, which he said be could
7 lay down and could take up again, as
'. be later proved. These -words, all will
f remember, were "Elol, EJoi, lama sa
? bachthantr which are translated, "My
Vod. my. God, why hast thou forsaken
r'mer The word Blot, which Jesus used,
t Is the Old Testament Chaldean word for
"what tn English is called God. It means
strength, or power, a meaning wnicn is
entirely devodi of anthromorphlsm or j
corporeality. According to Jesus, then,
God was his power, the power upon
which he always relied, with which he
! accomplished everything,. .Nor did be
V leave us tn the dark as to Just what this
. power is. In speaking to Ills disciples he
' said, "Call no man your faiher.upon the
earth: for one is your Father, which Is
" in heaven." In 'other words. there Is
ir only one creator. Vr'Cauae.rand the unl
" verse Including man is its product, .the
' product of Elol. the one and only power.
, , Again, speaking to the -woman, arthe
well. Jesus said,-"God is Spirit," which
would certainly i mean that ' his power,
rthe only power be? ever used, the true
" cause of all, and consequently ths cause
of only that which is true, was Spirit or
Mind, not matter or any kind of phy
sique. And looking it th teachings of
' Jesus, looking at his words and at bis
! works. words and works ue,to, tm
I belled by. emanaangafrom thi Elol or
v power. Spirit, Mind-, intelligence.-
' ' s we not bound to-, conclude , that this
: power. SplrtW'Mind was Infinite . Xjovo.
-and that this oivln Love was ;th4 very
' life of Jesus which nothing could-destroy
nri which was able to raise him up at
' the last day? This one 'power .then, this

Does not the father wnt the son to "be

; ''Ood created man in his own image,

In other words, He created" them Just
v hs( a man Is like? J3o we know it by ,
- what he . expresses ? Was . It not the
f manifestation,! the expression' of the i
power, ,the Mind, the Spirit, the Life, the j
; Truth, and the Love, which, are alto-
gethef good, Ood, that made Jesus the
'-best-prepared, the safest, the most ef
ficient, the most, able or. powerful, the
X most godlike man that ever lived? Did
'is not make him so godlike that all
Christendom has called hfm God, wor
-shipped him, as God? It has done this,
' too, notwithstanding the fact that Jesus
rebuked the man for calling htm, not
Ood, but merely good, saying, . "There
- Is none , good but , one, that Is God."
VHe did this because he recognised, as
ao one else ever has, that even all that
- he manifested- of Ood -did not begin to
? express," bvW only" indicated, the: infinite
fsrood that la God. v This, is shown by the
fact that he expected.. not only the emu

We have seen what was the, power, the
Life, "the" Mind,' the Whole reality or
Truth, the Love that 'animated,' enlight
ened, Impelled, capacitated, and enabled
the -man Jesus. We have seen rthat It
was omnipotence, omniscience, God, and
that the - expression of this' made him
the godlike and true man that abe Was.
' All-of us also know the kind of -power,
life, mind,' spirit; truth.' and love that
are expressed or manifested, by mankind
or. a kind of men. a All of us know that
this power, life, mind,- spirit,, truth;- and
love are all believed tai Inhere . In the
flesh, matter. Is not this" true?,'
. The - man twhom t Jesus presented is
spiritual, and spiritually minded, the
real 'num. The man that humanity in
sists upon ss real, the kind that is really
no mantis 'fleshly or carnally minded.
Tet Christianity- teaches that -"to ' beJ
carnally minded Is death; but to he
spiritually minded is life and peace. Be
cause the carnal mind is enmity against
Ood; for it is not subject to the law of
God,- neither Indeed can be." To be the
one kind of map, then, is to be the son
of God..' To be the other kind of man
is to be like those of Whom Jesus spoke
when he said, "Te are of your father the
devil," and the devil he called "a mur
derer," that which is destructive, and
"a liar," that in which there is no truth.
All Christians have certainly called
Jesus their pattern and their guide ; and
he spoke of . himself . as "the way,' the
truth, and the life." All Christians are
also instructed; "Let; this ' mind be In
you. which was' also. In . Christ Jesus.?
If this teaching be' correct, should .not
every Christian claim for himself Jand
for -others the spiritual power,. Intelli
gence, Life, Truth, and Love which con
stitute the one true good of all, or the
one vtrue 'God, infinite, eternal, inoe
structlble,' Incapable of impairment, loss,
or lack?,; And should not every one dis
claim a limited 'material power, mind.
life, . truth,' love, subject to disease, de
cav. and death?- Can one be a Chris
tian without 'claiming the former., and
disclaiming the latter 7
TBS BEGKnfEB. ,
Now let us .take one "who 4s learning
to know this Christ-way,' arid beginhing
to walk:- la it. - what .effect , has this
upon him? - ,
He. has been believing, like everyone
else,' that he is a material organism
with his -life, health, strength. Intelli
gence, and love all inside of him ; that
aU that he is and. all that he has is
limited by heredity and environment. He
knows it because he has been experi
encing it. Of course he. Is unprepared
for any emergency, feels unsafe, is in
efficient It is not strange if he is ais-
courared,' perhaps sick, dissipated, wow,
the unheeded CHrist. the spiritual idea
of being, 'the Truth, oomes to -such a
one In Christian Science. He hears, and
hears for the first time with this new
meaning, that God is the only and all
power; that God . is air his God; that
God is Life, his life r that God is Mind,
Truth.'Love. and that God, 'who ls all
this, is 'all his God. If he admits this.
and slow or fast, if be ponders it, he is
bound to admit hV-will not everything
that la rlrht become more and more pos
sible to him, and will not everything
thsiSla wona become less-ana less com-
inant over him. and finally impossible to
him? -Will he' nof at once' be' better
prepared for every-demand upon him,
feel more safe, more efficient 'than r be-;
fore? If he is fallen, will this not uplift
him: if be is sorrowful, will this not
comfort him; if he is discouraged, will
this not encourage ' him ; ' if he is ; sick,
dls-eased, will not this ease him until
it heals him; if he has been-a failure,
cannot he with this Christian, this right
idea of Jjeing,- rise to success? Let me
say that In thousands of Instances this
has' been demonstrated;? and examples
are not ' far v to seek., :v The neighbors,
friends. -relatives of many of you here
can tell you their experiences, and I am
sure you will find them corroborative
of this. . 'Neither should these experi
ncf ?
ences seem so strange after it has been
as it has, what uoa is ana
what -man's relationship to God Is; and
I am sure it does not seem so strange
as it 'did: that God should comfort the
sorrowing make the weak strong, heal
the. sick,, yes, raise the .dying and the
dead.. But perhaps It can bV made' still

Tou have all been taught to be truth
ful and honest, I am sure. If the temp
tation came to any of you to tell an un
truth, or to take - something, that , does
not: belong- to you, this education, not
something inherent in your brain - or
anywhere in your body, would, recall
to you that you must not do so. I re
member that as a very little boy, when
ever I touched anything not mine at
table-, my mother very quietly ' said,
"Hejs r meaning that taking; things not
mine would burn me. Throughout -all

Now, suppose that we not only learn
the letter, but become Imbued with the
spirit of what has been said, and so
learn the truth that, the kind -of God;
thatiJias been indicated here, is the
only God there is ; that only he Is man,'

What belongs to-, us, any one of us, -as
the image. andJ likeness of God? Could i
we not thus get correct answers? Whai
for Instance, belongs to the reflection j
of power, infinite power?' Do powerless
hess, ..Inability, incapacity? What be
longs to--, the reflection of Mind? Do
lack of purpose,',lack of will, and ignor
ance of what we need -to 'know? . What
belongs to1 the reflection of divine Spirit,
infinite Truth, ; Love, Life? Do sen
sualism, ... untruthfulness, fear, distrust,
aversion, hate, sickness, death? , Would
not . the truth about what man is and
what ' man has be ' Just ' the opposite of
all such claims, and did nqt Jesus say,
"Ye shall know the ruth, and the truth
shall make you free?? . .
Suppose that the likeness In a looking
glass of any of us here was claimed to
be unlike us, to lack something we pos
sess, or to possess something foreign to
us, would we admit the claim? If we
did, would wei be truthful or honest?
Would we jiot be claiming for it some
thing that it did not possess, claiming a
distortion rather than a reflection, a
fraud and an imposition as our likeness?
Can your image and .likeness in the glass
have something or take something that
you f do not have-or take? . Can man,
then, the image, and-- likeness of . God, be
different from God? Can he be unpre
pared for anything, unsafe lnefficieht,
helpless; can he take a cold, sickness of
any- kind,: and; die? , Not unless' God Is
and does these things. How.- truthful,
how. honest is one then who claims to
be man, meaning v man or woman, the
image and ' likeness of God, and also
claims to be, to do, and to have every
thing contrary to God? Is he then de
claring the truth which .alone makes
free ; Js he obeying the commands "Thou
shalt;..' not 'bear-- false " witness" and
VJudge not according to the appearance,

cient things under the impulsion of fear?
All have experienced this. Is it not a
common saying that one is paralysed
with fear? Do not; people die of fear?
Does any part of the body not reached
by thought do anything or feel any way?
li it. aoes, now do you know it without
thought?
-The schools are beginning, to recog
nize,, and in some degree ' to acknowl
edge, that in Christian Science a light
has come into the world, but they are
not able to see that it is all light, and
that in It is no darkness at all. Theol
ogy is beginning to teach an incorporeal
is all Love, too pure to behold intaultv.
evil of any kind, to cause it or to per
mit it. The heaUng arts are beginning
to teach that mind is -at - least in part
cause, but without recognizing that
Mind Is- God, good, so never the cause
of disease, and death, but always the
cause of restoration, of. health, and of
life. 1 They call that mind which is but

ultimate cause of sin, sickness, death.

GOB'S THOUGHTS
. 'And the angel of his God's presv
ence saved them," .we read in Isaiah. We
are also told that after Jeeus had with,
stood being , tempted by, the devil, and
aU should now be able to see that the
devil was just what Jesus called him.-,
"a murderer," that which te destructive,
and "a liar." that in which there U
noii truth angels came and min
istered unto him. What does this mean?
Does it mean that corporeal beings with
wings healed the people spoken of in the
Bible,' and ministered unto Jesus f -
B Christian Science text book.
"Science and Health with Key to tha
Scriptures" by Mrs, Eddy, on naere jwi.
we read : "Angels. God's thoughts pass-
" . , - spiritual intuitions, pure
and perfect the inspiration - of good.

question. It is not uncommon to hear
that some ona, i inspired by malice or
hate. Everyone is ready to credit this,
but let some one be said to be 'Inspired
by God, who is Infinite power,' tntelli
genoe, Life, ..Truth and Love, and de
rision and reviling are sure to be hi lot.
Is not everyone inspired with Life? : Xt
not, how then does anyone live? Are
not all Inspired by Mind. Truth. Love?
If not, how do you express intelligence,
how is it that you are. truthful, kind,
lpving? , Doea this surprise you?. Then
let me say that you were Inspired before
you. ever breathed or saw the light of
day, 'and that; inspiration is the one es
sential of existence. ? - - ' ,
Everyone Is most particular as to the
" a9 iwwuie fflo: winouv anso-
air he breathes. Xo: one without abso-
breathe foul air, - Everyone Is most par
tieuiar as to the food he eats, what rai
ment he- puts on, and so forth. How
much - more particular should all be as
to -what they are ' inspired . by; for
whether the thought that comes to us be
good or bad, it is one that comes to us.
not t one that1 originates with us. and
sooner or later we. are bound to express
1C' Js itJ.'pure, beaptlfuU good, true, the
thought of health, of life, of immortal
ity, of courage, and of love for all? If
so, it comes from the one true source.
Bid Jt welcome; let It abide with .'-you.
entertain it, make it your honored and
your - welcome - guest. It " comes ; from
God, and is the word of God, an, angel
visitant, sent ss or old to heal, to min
later, to save, Is that ewhich clamors
for admission; a base, sinister.: degraded
thought, a thought of want, discourage
ment, hate, fear, anger, sickness, death?
Then bar it out. for It will express " it
self, bear fruit after its kind. How bar
it, say you? By recalling and recalling
the thoughts, , the angels of God and of
His Christ, the : truths taught In1 -the
tsiDie by Jesus, emphasized, illuminated
and made practical by Christian - Sci
ence, until these shall be an angel legion
round about you to - guide . you, guard
you, ana nave: charge over you.
How often, do we hear -. the question.
How can I help what I think? and the
assertion, No one can help , what' he
thinks. We not only can help' what' we
think, but in order to do better, feel bet
ter, be better, we must help whai wwe
think, for as a man "thinketh inihis
heart, so Is he;" and the way that has
oeeir. indicated, the way that Christian
Science teaches, Is the only way ' In
which this help may come; the only way
under heaven In which men can be saved
here, now, anywhere, everyhwere. -from
ills of any kind and of every kind. It is
the. only way in which one and all,-Irrespective
of - time, place, vocation,, cir-
cumstances,' can , be truly armed -and
prepared, have absolute safety and com
plete efficiency. '
AWhat has been said will but dimly
indicate the teachings of the ideal, yet
most practical and scientific system of
ethics and. healing 'discovered in the
words and works of our Master by Mrs.
Eddy.' 'Through " her - faithful, loving.
Christlike leadership Mrs Eddy founded
this, system,, Cnu-istian Science, and ad
vanced ltt its 'jpresent world-wide e-
ceptance. Bringing wnat she aid to the

.Mm. Eddy -was of the - very simnlest. In
. her the world inieeA had true example

'Those -who were with her bear, loving
witness to the ' fact that she watched,
worked, prayed without ceasing, and
that she eMd this for all alike. That this
tin tiring-- consecration - has borne fruit
the fruit of purer, happier, healthier,
more useful -and loving lives is attested
on every hand. The modest fortune that
came to Mrs.; Eddy through the publi
cation tnd sale of her written works is
by her direction, like. her. life, being de
yoted to the 'promulgation of her jiftrn
teaching-; to the establishment of "on
earth peace, -good, will toward men;"
to the establishment of the kingdom of
God on earth. In which there can be no
sorrow, no pain,, no death.
Mrs,- Eddy was at times reviled, but
she reviled not again. So unmindful of
the world was she and so mindful of
God that His thoughts, messages .that
came and do come with healing and with
blessings in their wings, were always
her thoughts. Her one prayer was to be
God's faithful messenger. The answer
to this prayer was certainly vouchsafed
to her. Mary Baker. Eddy founded a
world-wide religion, a religion that is
Science, a Science that is Christian -and
that both heals and saves. In doing this
she has' risen to her rightful place in di
vine Love Love that is reflected by the
constantly increasing: esteem of 'the
world, and the grateful appreciation of
hundreds of thousands of her benefi
ciaries.

a- few grains of radium was continually
giving off a great deal' of energy and

men, even Lord Kelvin himself, spoke of
It as a sort of miracle. The stuff burned,
as it were, and yet was not consumed. ,

there was no flaw in-the law of conser

Sir Ernest Rutherford reckons that the v
gaseous emanation primarily given oft
from radium after firing its first shot-
this emanation being Itself a,', chemical .
element called niton Is so spontaneously -active
that It actually does radiate en- r
ergy at the rate of ten thousand horse- ;
power per pound,
v Undoubtedly, if the progress of dis
co very, enables us to get at and utilise
the energy locked up in a ton of ordi
nary matter per diem, no further mo
tive power would be needed. 'V
And If. further, we found ourselves
able to liberate any considerable portion '
of such energy in a short period of time,
ths explosive violence would be such that :
the very planet would bo unsafe. ,
It Is to be hoped that no such facilities,
will fall to the lot of an enterprising

humanely civilised, and Is both willing
and able to keep its destructive power in
