H manlfestlnr himself as activity and as creator, ii is wnai we au sirive tor, and shall the more nearly attain as we cease to look for it in matter; and find t In mind. I God is truth. We know that 'without truth nothing could exist. To ; know the truth about truth does away with every imperfect, untruthful, or ungodly thought or deed and Its penalty, and discloses the path leading to salvation, which is nar row only to those who want to go astray. God and love are one. It Is this right sense of love which makes the sunshine within, no matter how dark and drear the human environment may seem. By it we are taught how to seek our own in another's good, nd to love our neigh bor as ourselves. 1 Perhaps it seems very abstract to Say that God and principle are one, and yet it is true. Christian Science teaches us the vital necessity of takingj spiritual reality out of the Abstract ini order to make practical use of it in meeting our daily needs. It reveals the Immutability of spiritual law, proving the changeless ness of God, and consequently a change less man; a creator and creation always In agreement ; changeless love, change less truth, changeless life, and. there fore, no hate, no lie, and no death. This teaching Is a radical departure from that given by dogma and creed., We need no human opinion or belief to find the "way." In Christian Science we have no creed and no dogma, but we are taught to follow the Lord and master in not only His words but In His works. Only complete and absolute following of Jesus Constitutes real, pure, dominant, selfless religion, that which satisfies and reaches us in every human need, enabling us to stand and to . see the glory of God re vealed, even in the socalledi physical man and universe. i God and mind are one.

Board of Leetareahio of The Mother Cnnreh, Thm Fiint nhnreh ot Christ. Scientist, ia Boston, Maaa., waa dpi l Tared last Sunday afternoon in tho Jamea John bista aehool. under tna anapiees of Serenth Church of Christ, Scientist (St. John Christian Science Vas first brought to my attention in the fall of 1884 and under - the following i circumstances. About half my life up to that time had been spent in bed. The physicians all said I had been brn f with an Incur able organic disease,! and that tt was im probable that I should live to reach man hood. Their statements seemed about to be proved true when), through a case of healing. Christian Science was brougnt into our home. This led to my having Christian Science treatment so success fully that three months later our family physician said a miracle had been per formed and: that I Waa absolutely free from any physical disease. n Because - of my condition, ana as a preparation for what was deemed Inevit able. God had been explained to me far more than is usual with a small child, and the statement frequently made that He sent sickness and suffering : as a chastening and purifying preparation for the Joys of the kingdom oi neaven. Nr-turay, however, the only thing I thought of was the suffering.; and when I was told that God caused it a terrible sense - of fear - and I helplessness arose, when love and trust should have been present. We can never love nor trust anything of which we are afraid ; there-: fore the thoughts about ;God were locked inside my consciousness, because or my fear of giving them utterance. The name, and not the nature of God, then s now, j was all that most people knew; so my surprise was great and unqualified when I : learned ; that the! healing work In Christian Science is all accomplished through a right knowledge of God ; that there is nothing peculiar or secret about the work done, nor Is the ability to do it confined to a select few ; it is to be ac quired through growth in grace. In fact. Christian Science gives humanity a clear apprehension of the birthright of man. of how to gain it, and how to use, it. . Christian Science unfolds to its stu dents that knowledge of God which keeps one well mentally., morally, and physically, and shows that Ignorance of Him is the procurer) of sin, sickness and death. It teaches thit regenerated think ing means regenerated living in all ways. It reveals through an endless, infinite vista of Christian idealism, God en throned and omnipotent, omnipresent. and omniscient, and the fact that one mar intelligently' call upon Him in any time of 'need, and always find Him right at hand, ready to heal and save. This teaching brings God to us as a real presence, instead of an ephemeral hope, and so establishes the fact normally and naturally that He has dominion over all things, including the ills' of " the flesh, and will destroy all evils, whether they present themselves as mental, moral or physical, when He is intelligently asked to do so. j - It has been said that the Christian Scientists are too familiar with God. They are familiar with God because. knowing Him to be farhat He is, knowing Him to be both theh Father and Mother of all His children, they go to Him wltn all their troubles, sure that His love and wisdom will dispel tjhem. It Is just, how ever, in this connection to. say that no people on earth so venerate, worsnlp ana adore Him as do Christian Sacienusis and this Is true because He never fails them in their extremity, We are told In th Bible that we must be regenerated. Regeneration is first mental, and Is followed by the outward results as a natural consequence. It is very practical to say you cannot think right and do wrong1, nor can you think wrong and do right. If we will gain the right knowledge of God. and man's re- lationshio to Him. land cling to it, we shall alwavs be well. ' We must De obedient in all things to the law of God, or good, as He is called in the Icelandic translation of the Bible, because it is our duty . to see tnat i nrist is uiwq above human sense into spiritual realiz ation, that all mankind may be drawn unto Him. and find the freedom promised them. The marvelous life) and works of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of the Christian Science movement, its forever revered leader, and the author of its textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptuifes.T have destroyed the darkness and mystery heretofore surrounding God arid Christ Jesus, and will literally, to quote from one of her poems. "lift the shade of gloom and for mankind make radlant room" "in the life and the love of t our Lord " In "Science and Health" and all her other writings, Mrs. Eddy has given us th spirit of the word of God as He revealed it to her. After the Revelation, came. she tried and tested it in all ways and neaiea uie sick in innumerable instances with the knowledge of God which it gave to ner, until, when she did give it to" the world as it w given to her, she did not ask mankind to accept a faith with out f works, but gave them a glorified faith, merging into understanding be cause of the works it accomplished. ,, .Among the, most illuminating things Mrs. Eddy has written in "Science and Health" are the synonyms for God. These synonyms so bring out the nature and character of God. so completely prove that He everlastingly Is, so bring out His glory and majesty that obedi ence to the command to worship Him in or as spirit and truth becomes natural, and we innately become better men and women because we know how, spiritu ally. If Christian Science revealed noth ing more than this, it would eventually heal and save all mankind. In considering tnese synonyms we need to realize that Christian Science teaches that there are not two kinds of love, one material and one spiritual, but claims that air the real love there is. eternally exists ; and it is in this man ner f that Mrs. Eddy uses all the synonyms. " God is life life that has no beginnlnr ana no enalnr. It I tha n,ani..i. u wcraity. i nm Human sense has noth mg io do with life, and must be changed Scientists over this basic statement in Christian Science, - though why '- there should . be is incomprehensible. Mrs. Eddy has advanced no new fact in this statement, , but has put into modern language the fact which John speaks of in his gospel. The first two verses in the first chapter of John are as follows : "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." A simple analysis will show the correlation between this quotation and Mrs. Eddy's when she says that God and mind are one. What is the "word"T It is the expression of the thought which precedes 1U And what is thought? it is the expression or activity of the mind which thinks it- And so we can state that it logically is as correct to say, in the beginning was mind, and mind was with God. and mind was God. The same was in the beginning with God. When we are willing to accept the fact that God and mind are one, then we let "that mind be in us which waa also In Christ Jesus" ("Science and Health,? p. 497). and the result Is th accomplishment of the works Jesus did and told us to do. We cannot think wrong, and ' conse quently cannot do wrong, when we know that the mind "which was also in Christ Jesus'? does the thinking, if we let it. If we hold all the time in thought the meaning of reality, as it is taught by Mrs. Eddy, we will realize our ability to think real or godlike, truthlike, or life like thoughts, because we are clothed and in our right mind, and the result is that we find salvation has come Into our midst.' i ' SALVATIOK i When we have gained a right sense of God, we find we have begun to under stand what salvation is and from what we are to be saved. Fundamentally, sal vation Is having our thought so regen erated by a right spiritual sense of God that we know there is and can be no such thing as a power apart from uoa. When we have learned that God is mind , we find we are no longer in bondage' to a finite, corporeal misapprehension about him, and we cease our effort to ldeailzi the so-called human man and call it God. In other words, we stop striving to find a God made in the Image and like ness of a human being, and turn our thoughts In an endeavor to find the man made In God's image and likeness. Sal vation means a complete cleansing from all thoughts or deeds which seem to Justify sin, disease and death,' and a mounting up on the wings of faith until the vision of the almighty God unfolds In us, faith ripens Into understanding, and the translation of man and the universe into the realm of spiritual reality t accomplished. THE BIBLE During this address you have heard the Bible mo frequently referred to and quoted from that you will certainly realize how we Christian Scientists ven erate and study It, and Row absolutely we know that its teachings, spiritually discerned, constitute the law of life unto all God's children. Had Mrs. Eddy not been 'a profound and persistent student not merely a reader of the Bible, she could never have had the revelation Christian Sci ence ia It waa her abs6Iute trust in and acceptance of all the promlaea in the Bible which kept her on earth when no material method would suffice. After her healing she spent years In a de termined effort to find the truth which had- raised her, clinging to the glimpses of light which came, even as did Jacob to his angel visitants, until these pure lmpartatlons from God became a revela tion of his Immutable nature and power, and then she healed others, even as she herself had been healed. In other woios. the Spiritual teachings found in the Bible which -Mrs. Eddy discerned, are the sole" and only foundation on which the Christian Science movement stands, spreading its branches like the tree of life over all creation, with its leave its teachings ready at hand for the healing of all mankind. 11 The store of individual shops Broadway at Morrison Full protection for your furs I means protection from dust, moths, f fire and theft.
