nyjjerson who earnestly studies and i
'practices it, that the evidence of the
enses is all there is to any suffer
inf. nd if this evidence be changed
Or overcome, the disease or suf fer
ine disappears.. Have you ever ob
lerved how the physical senses are
so easily and commonly mistaken
and deceived? One of the most ord-
Inary examples is that of sitting in
t railroad train that is still, and have
a train on the adjacent track pass
you going the other way. As you
watch the moving train, every sense
tells you that you are moving.' and
your escape from this delusion is to I
look away into the opposite direc
tion,, and then you see things as they
are. So, when the human senses tell
03 that we are .'-sick, We should look
iway rfonv the things of sense to
God, and see and know the real man
a he is in God s image and likeness,
and we shall come to know that this
real man cannot be sick or discord
ant. In this manner of thought, God
becomes a living, vital, everpresent
power and influence in our lives,
and we can begin to realize what
Paul had in mind when lie said. "For
In Him. we live and move and have
our being."
This brings me to a discussion of
what man is, and of his relation to
God. I suppose every careful reader
of the Bible is familiar with the two
very dissimilar accounts of man's
treation, as detailed In the book of
Genesis. You will remember that
the first chapter says: "So God ere
atcd'man in -His own image, in the
Image of God created he him: male
and female created he them." Chris-
tian Science teaches that this Is the
Jrue account of creation. It sets forth
""the spiritual man. When Christian
Science says that man cannot be sick
man; cannot die, reference' is made
to the real man, the spiritual man,
the God-idea. The possibilities for
man thus created in God's Image and
likeness are unlimited; such a man
rannot possess any qualities that God
has sot. and he must in a degree,
reflect every attribute of God. Other
systems of religious Instruction have
aught that the spiritual man Is ver-
fect, but they have not made this
teaching practical. They liave gen
erally assumed that 'man must firat
pass through the experience called
death, and after that, be invested
with his spiritual nature. They have
scarcely dared to hope that life could
be other than the generally accepted
"vale, of tears." Christian .Science
shows thai the truth concerning the
spiritual man, is- - scientific truth,
land, through Christian ' Seience.' It
may be Understood and .become op
erative in behalf of humanity. Chris
tian Science teaches that God's pres
ence in the lives of men ' Is not ; a
. theory, but an actual fact, that may
be, and should be relied -upon In all
circumstances and under 'all condi
tions.; It teaches that God's Omnip
otence, Omnipresence, jand Omnis
cience should be' borne in mind by
man' as actual: realities for his ben
efit in every human survey and un
dertaking,.. -This . will . be ; a wonder
ful world. -when all men begin to re
alize their .God-giveD heritage, no en
Tying, no "Jealousy ,:tio fault finding,
no ludgingV.. no coveting where all
is lore, Joy, peace, patience, gentle
ness, goodness. Man Is the expres
sion of God's goodness, of God's love,
indeed, of all the qualities of God;
and it is only through the perfect
expression that we can know God.
Was not this real man what Jesus
had in mind when He said, "Be ye
therefore perfect even as your Father
In heaven is perfect?" Through the
consideration of such facts, we may
begin to have some conception of
'.the bigness and the joy and rfeedom
, of this Christian Science teaching.
Let us turn now from this beau-
tiful picture to the account of man's
formation In the second chapter of
Genesis. "And the Lord God formed
man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed Into his nostrils the breath
of life; and man-: became a living
; soul," and also the account of wom
an's creation, how God .caused a deep
v sleep to fall upon the man, and. He
took from the man a tfb 'and of the
lib,; He made a woman. With-these

Does It occur to you that perhaps

All th'se things are bit maniff sta

AS Christian Scientists are some
times criticised for detiying the re
ality of the so-called devil and evil
let ns proceed with this reasoning.

that He has all power, and that.
Just happened to exist. You nuust
conclude that there 13 one God and
no devil, or else that God Is not
omnipotent and that there Is anoth
er supreme power that is evil or
devil, and opposed to God, which
thought Is unbelievable.
But, you say, what will you do
with the Satan or devil the Bible?
What did Jesus say of him: "He
was a murderer from the beginning
and abode not in the truth, because
there Is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own, for he Is a liar, and the father
of it." (John 8:44.) Is not this
the weightiest testimony to the fal
sity, the nothingness of the belief
in any actual devil or source of
evil? Think what a world of fear,
sorxw. unrest, sickness, suffering
and death this supposed Sat?n has
brought to humanity. It Is Strang?
how unready many of ns are still,
to deny him and to claim and prove
God's allness. When we come to
analyse the beliefs and practices of
men for centuries, we find that they
have been mainly Impelled by a fear
of some power that was superior to
God, or could in some way Outwit
God. This is witnessed on every
hand; for Instance, men build for
tunes and amass la-ge sums of mon
ey that no want or lack .nlay come
to them or their families for genera
tions after their own Hve3. Surely
men would not bend every energy.
