On a certain beautiful summer morning In the year 1905, a man aat on the broad veranda of ao old fashioned hotel In the deep South. Immersed In the pages of a book. The volume, known as the Cbrls tlan Science ext-book and entitled "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." waa the product of the Inspired pen of Its author, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer, Founder and Leader of Christian Science. Only a few days before, while reading this book with Its deeply religious theme of Got as divine Mind, Spirit, and man as God's likeness and Image, spiritual, not material, this man had found complete healing of body and a re markable change of heart. He had experienced tbe end of chronic eye disability, a long continued stomach disorder, and other derangements, all In the glorious hours of his first session with this great, shall we say, even greater work. He knew ha had been healed but he did not know how the new freedom of body and thought nad come. Seeking re lief from these very Ills, he had studied and practiced material medi cine; and for years he had tried In vain both material and mental methods. In desperation be had turned to Christian Science, and the healing came with breath-taking suddenness. And so, on that mid-summer morning he sought the light. He knows now that, in the re-hlrth of health, be was close to Ood, and to tbe reality of His things, thoughts. He waa very close to the "Life that maketh all things new." As he read there came to him a realization of the opposite natures of Spirit and matter; he saw that if Spirit Is true end real. Its opposite must he untrue and unreal. Then, as the existence and presence of spiritual good was accepted, lie saw the things of mutter, and all evil, s separate fr'm reality, as non existent; and he was able to gather together, that la. In his vision he was able to Uo so, all the erroneous presentments of matter and evil, and ptiBh them out of conscious accept ance. With all that is unliko good relegated to proper nonexistence, the man's thought was flooded with spiritual reality; and there on that gallery all things be saw became new. Thore was a surcharge of pure Joy and happiness such as be had never known before. The most common-place things were glorified. The Bun Bhone, the birds Bang, peo ple nmiled. flowers bloomed, with aspect and meaning apart from matter. He had a glimpse of things as they really are, not as materlul conceptions, but as Ideas of pure, divine Mind, Ood. And the vision of reality, spiritual harmony, which camo to me that day for need 1 eay that tho man was myself has never faded out through all the vlclssltudea and victories of thirty three years, through all the prayer and effort to realize the heavenly Intuition, to make It real In my daily experience. GREATER WORKS It is now nearly seventy-five yeara since Mary Daker Eddy dis covered the Science of Christ, Ten yeara after her discovery sho had reduced divine Science, or the knowlcdgo of divine Ufa,' Troth, and Ixn-e, to human apprehension and, by her great book, had mnde Christian Scienco available for hu man needs. "Sclonce and Health" was con ceived In Mrs. Eddy's spiritualized consclousuess, and horn in .the throes of experiences bo hard and hitter as to turn her from the world to God. Her discovery came with a rebirth of health, a recovery through prayer from an accident; but her preparedness was the cul mination of a llfe-lnng search for God and Ills henltng. saving Christ. That the hook, "Science and Health" hud a divine origin is evi denced by its healing and redemp tive power over the sick and the sinning. Mary linker Eddy has been the means of bringing the promised Comforter, the "Spirit of Truth." to tho world. Consider her time, environment, her spiritual mlndedness, the beneficences of Christian Science. Its amntlng spread throughout the world. May wa not reroantte her achievements as among the greater works pre dicted by Christ Jesus and assured by his own demonstration of mnn'a unity with Hod? Greater works are products of Ihs new birth; they are done by the spiritualized thought, by the "I" that goes to the Father. IN THE BEGINNING GOD AND MAN The very foundation of divine Sil ence Is creator, thnt which exists essentially, and creation, thnt which exists objectively; causa and ef fect, which co-exist and are In separable, and comprise the whole of being. There could he nothing outside this Infinite self-existent and self-contained universe; nor could the Infinite, everywhere-present crentor be outside or apart from Ills Infinite creation. The purely spiritual or divinely mental nature and content of this KMher Mother and off-spring, are clearly put in the first chapter of ticnesls. Now the Intelligence displayed In Ihis record shows Ihe creator to be In finite Mind: and of course, the In finite, and therefore Ihe only Mind, intelligence, must definitely pre TO FIGHT AGAIN TONIGHT: ai-ur., ra..n u, irr. p ( ,r 1 Ulisy Henry Arnutrong tonight detnU hi clude any aupposed finite mind In extricably Identified with matter; hence neither matter nor a material mind could bavs other than a sup positional existence, nor be an ele ment, object or factor In tbe real creation. Including real man. In tbe true, spiritual, and only genuine creation, all must be divinely men tal. In other worda, creation con sists not of matter nor of mortal mind, but exclusively of forms, or Ideas, of divine Mind. God. These Ideas constitute tbe only creation, they alone comprise man. Creation la represented in tbe scriptural record as occurring on successive progressive days. "Sci ence and Health" defines. Day" as: "The Irradlance of Life; light, the spiritual Idea of Truth and Love." And also declares: "The objects of time and sense disappear In the Illumination of spiritual under standing, and Mind measures time according to the good that is un folded. Tbla unfolding Is God's day, and 'there shall be no nlgbt there'." (S. and H. p. 584). If then, we are to be "born again," If we are to live Insplratlonally, if we are to rise Into "newness of life with regen eration," we muot abandon tbe mor tal measurements of time, tbe limi tations of human thoughts, acts, beliefs, opinions and. knowledge, and adopt "God's measurement," the days of Hia reckoning. To the extent this is done will come tbe Illumination of spiritual under standing, tbe unfoldiug of reality In which there Is no night, no error, no evil, no materialism. These progressive periods stand for true spiritual evolution, aa newness of life, opposed in human conscious ness to the false conception, lite and mind In matter; to sordid at traction of the soil, the pun of ani mal magnetism; they .stand opposed to aln, disease, dlBcord, want and woe, to all that is unlike God, to all that Is unsplritual. Now the element in the so-called human consclousuesu capable of apprehending reality Is true con sciousness, or spiritual sense. "Sci ence and Health" declares: "Spirit ual sense is the discernment of spiritual good." (p. 505). Here in the beginning, here in this spiritual Insight, when God creates the heav ens and the earth all anew for me and you, ls-lndeed the beginning of a new life, tbe never-to-be-forgotten exaltation above matter and the pull of the carnal mind; the Joy of self-surrender to the instantaneous light when spiritual sense is to ua Imparted. The relief to know that, to quote Mrs. rjddy, "this under standing Is not Intellectual. Is not the result of scholarly attainments; it is the reality of all things brought to light" (S. and H. p. 505). In that Illumination of spiritual consciousness, bow easy It la to heal Instantaneously! How precious are the evening and tho morning! God, good. 1b here and now and All-in-All! What and whore la evil? The age-old query, "where did evil come from?". In its legion of aspects, la answered: evil does not come Into God's good day. Shall we admit evil now by entertaining tbe false argument that we have lost the In spiration and glory of the heavenly evening and morning? There la no argument of evil In God's day, and no need to argue against the palp ably unreal. NEWNESS OF" LIFE WITH RESURRKCTIOi' Mind's pure thought, the seed within Itself, propagates itself In spiritual creation ever appearing, inexhaustible. To the human con sciousness this creation is a resur rection, a rising to the light, resur rection from tlie grave of the red dust of mortality, the belief of life and death In the soil, to independ ence of material organization. Here la glorious release from the curse: "dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Mary, the Virgin Mother, communed with God, her pure spiritualized thought was one with the divine Mind, and her offspring furnished an illustra tion of creation. "The divine Science which." as Mrs. Eddy puts it (S. and H. p. 325) "ushered Jesus into human presence," set aside common usage, in what has been called the virgin birth; and Jesus' understanding and exemplification of the Christ, the idea of divine Truth, also made it possible tor him to set aside common beliefs of disease, sin. limitation and even death. The gospel narrative says that Christ Jesus, In Gethsemane, told hla disciples to wait and watch, "nnd he went a little farther, -nnd fell on his face and prnyed." Jesus tndecd went a little farther. He was charting unknown ground. His task was to abolish death, scientifically, not by euccunihlug to death, but by preventing it, knowing Its unreality. No one had ever gone that far, no one had yet proved scientifically the way of life throuph Christ. But Jesus did It, hence the great Im portance of the resurrection to hu manity, letting In the understand ing of the unending existence of man as God's creation. It you and I are to know this "power of an endless life," we must display that spirit embodied In Christ Jcsub' demonstration. We must fall on our face and pray. We must go further In faith, In vision, In de termination. In devotion, In unself ishness. We must go a Utile further Into the unknown, overcoming the wilderness of error's deceptions. Error drove Jesus Into the wilder ness, but he conquered It. And so must we work out our own salva tion. This It Is to pray. NEWNESS OF LIFE THROUGH PRAYER "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter In through the gates Into the city." Another's goodness cannot take one to heaven, nor should an other's evil cast one Into hell. Con trary to populnr belief, environ ment, whether It be persons or things, does not make us but we make our environment, mental or physical, by our thinking. Prayer is the desire and effort to think and to do rightly. Prayer is the m-elterwetsht ho xtn ft championship for the second time In two weeks when he meets CaiifornUn Al Man- 1 fredo In the top bout of tho annual Cleveland Nt ChrlJtmM charity : fund a??ow. 1 Still btarin marks of Ma rcnt, j MiocrMful welter-twlt ricOnw twltvt 1 boU-pn..iltti Cflfcrlno Guv in. Arm-1 appeal to God, to divine Mind for wisdom. Rlgbt thinking alone can correct bad conditions for they are just what we see, believe, them to be. This fact, tbat we see only our own thoughts, is not set aside, even though we so often can definitely place blame on other people and their wrong deeds and thoughts, or on conditions and circumstances over which we seem to have no control. By assuming the responsi bility of our own thoughts and acts, we can change wrong conditions of thought, and hence of body and things, and realize, In measure, the new birth of ascending spiritual consciousness. This realization la newness of life with regeneration. When a new spiritual Idea Is borne to earth the Christ, the Idea of di vine Truth. Is held up to human consciousness. This coming of Christ Is always with power, cast ing out error, healing, harmonizing, saving, opening the way to progress. Let ua learn to be receptive to these Ideas and expectant of them. Tbey come directly from divine Mind and are the answer to prayer. 1 have a little boy friend who has put new ness of life Into a prayer as fol-' Iowa: "I get up bright, In the morning light. To do what's right With all my might!" THE OLD MAN PUT OFF This ascension of thought, these gleams of the infinite, these spiritual ideas apprehended, are a rebuko to material thought. God's creations shine by reflected light, and so Spirit, divine Mind, rules over all reality, and Spirit's man rules, by reflection, by right thought, over even the counterfeit of God's crea tion. This is the new dominion. Matter la thus put under our feet, the darkness scattered, the old man with hla deeds put oft. Can we for feit that dominion over the night of error! In infinite light, in Mind and its Ideas, In the unity of being, all is day and 'there Is no night there." Here we can base our men tal practice on tbe qualities of be ing. In infinite God and His good reflection there can be no deflec tion, no distortion of good, of health, wealth, holiness, usefulness. It It la true that you cannot make a slik purse of a sow's ear, it la also true that you can not make a sow's ear of a slik purse. Tbe quali ties of being are non-forfeitabie by man. And these good qualities are an antidote against all evil qualities sucb as sin, sickness, dis cord, want, and woe. No error can endure in the understanding of re flection of perfection. THE NEW MAN PUT ON In Christian Science one learns to resolve material thiugs into false thoughts and to exchange tho false thoughts or wrong conceptions for right Ideas. And one learns that the substance of God's Ideas la the divine Mind which conceives them; one learns to under.-tand their mul tiplication, that la their manifes tation as the whole mirrored re flection of God, as the compound of all Ideas, man. One learns to understand the male and female of God'a making, and to grasp man's dominion over all, even over him self, to grasp the usefulness, harm lesanesa, beauty, . wisdom. Intelli gence, strengththe perfection and eternal substantiality and glory of It all. Indeed, what a piece of work ls man! Thus that which to ma terial sense appears as materia sub stance and mortal man, divine Science reverses, and reveals Instead the multiplication, that is, the mani festation of pure ldeaa. Herein is the significance of healing based on finding the substance of things. The substance of anything Is what It la in Mind, and by reversing and putting off the things of matter and mortal sense, the path can be fol lowed straight to the one Mind and the reality, the health, the holiness, the well-being of all Ideas. Thus is the new man put on. MAN'S FUNCTION IN CREATION Crentlon, Including man, is not a part of divine Mind, but a reflec tion of it, and hence no depletion of Mind occurs in the unfolding of real being. "Sclonce nnd Health" reminds us that "the highest and sweetest rest, even from a human standpoint, is In holy work." (p. 520.) God's crentlon is. without stoppage or reaction, continuous. Creation Is going on all the time, exhaustlcss and ceaseless, active, providing for newness of life with regeneration. Mnn's function in creation Is to be that creation.' Just as creation is continuous,- so the new birth Is' going on all the tlm.'. Either through suffering or through Science, each Individual human consciousness Is being re-formed. The good In human consciousness (s also ths true, and It Is augmented by our conscious efforts to do and to be good. The question must re cur till each "accepts the divine infinite calculus." (S. and H. p. 520): How much of the creatlonal activity am 1 reflecting In my dally life, and to what extent am I rest ing, working. In the seventh day, the constant renewing of the Spirit, the new birth? Am I living tho life Inspirational? And now let me discuss certain highly Important qualities, or ele ments, of newness of life, attributes which, apprehended and faithfully practiced, will keep our hearts ever ardent, and our feet ever eager to go forward tn the white days of Spirit. LIFE INSPIRATIONAL Inspiration la a keynote In Chris tian Science. Life Inspirational Is natural to the Christian Scientist. Every one should he able to say: I live my life In demonstration I live my life spontaneously, "in God have 1 put my trust: I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me " Nor doubtful of the good Ood can do to me through man. No mere man can give me my work, no man can take It from me. Inspired thought quickly recog nlzes error to be, not material, but falsely menial, and spontaneously corrects It with truth. Consider the Illusion of being turned about In a certain locality. Have you a city.

Armstrong cFir.ed. 20-30 SELECTS K. F. FOR 1939 CONCLAVE, PORTLAND, Dec. ( API De'.e. as I have, which simply refuses to adjust itself to the proper points or the compass? There la one such, that to my sense, always has wil fully faced west when ft should rightly face east Time and again I have entered that town properly orientated, only to have the entire city execute a sudden about-face to bring again the old illusion. No mere argument will adjust the er roneous sense. Vet by a compre hensive grasp of the plan of the city In proper relation to tbe facts of geography, one may gain a clear perspective In which the details as sums proper relation to the whole. But the change must be In one's thought, tor one recognizes the trouble as wholly within one's own human consciousness and not In tbe city. One need not, Indeed one can not, leave the precincts of one's own Inspired, spiritualized thought to beal any ease, and to correct all the world's problems. All the trou ble In the world comes from giv ing existence to the non-existent; and where can falsity be enter tained but within one'a own false consciousness? No error finds lodgment In real consciousness. Healing of disease and salvation from sin are possible because evil never existed actually, and does not now exist We must live, think, study, work, and pray inspiration ally, spontaneously; thlfl is to know tbat man Is never apart from God, from good In all Its aspecte. Even more important than knowing what to do la to "know that all things work together for good" to them that are spiritually minded, that is. divinely Inspired, "to them tbat love God" that love good. LIFE SELF-SACRIFICIAL The life of our Master, Jesua the Christ, polnta to self-sacrifice as the essence of Christianity, and as essential to tbe progress of the In dividual. The Chrlstly example of Jesus In laying down his Ufa tor hiB friends, must be our inspira tion. H1b spirit of self-sacrifice must base and permeate our lives. One cannot be a Christian Scientist self ishly. "Seeking his own In an other's good" (S. and H. p. 618-18) one illustrates the interrelation and mutual helpfulness of the ldeaa of Mind, tbe universal brotherhood of man. Herein Is Jesus' admonition, "Tbou Bbalt love thy neighbor as thyself," revealed as based on the essential unity of being. No ques tion nor doubt aa t one's own sup ply and safety can exist in the self forgetfulness of Kte self-sacrlflclal. "The fortunes of the righteous are the Eternal's care." (James Mof fat's translation.) ' There is therapeutic value In self forgetfulness because slcknesB 1b a state, a false state of consciousness, which cannot remain In thought or body In the healing and harmoniz ing atmosphcro of care for others. Self-sacrifice finds Its recompense of reward In tbe loss of a false sense of self and of others. The cleansing of mortal thought, since disease is a mortal sense, blesses one and all. One cannot bring heal ing to another without oneself also receiving a healing benefit. In self forgetfulness one escapes making one's own sense of error more real by over-dwelling upon It. The self forgetful man must perforce treat his own prdblems with sudden dis missal. He puts his all on the altar of service and Is too busy to be sick. LIFE DEVOTIONAL In tbe life of a Christian Scien tist the only primary thing la liv ing Christian Science: that Is his vocation. All other activity la sec ondary; it Is avocation. One can never he a Christian Scientist In cidentally; one has to be wholy devoted to imitation of Christ Jesus. And moreover Christ's yoke Is easy if one wears it, Christ's burden la light If one bears It. In Science and Health. Mra. Eddy speaks of "the substance of all devotion" (p. 241). Substance and things sub stantial are revealed, under regen eration, as Spirit and the things of the Spirit. For example, mortal mind otfera money as representing substance, power, and life. .Money, so viewed, may be considered the counterfeit of God, Himself. To de vote thought and energies to mere money-making and saving and spending Is to chill the Inspiration of newness of life, and to serve other gods Oh! my friend, learn that devotion of thought and life to true substance brings abundance Into human life, brings supply in' which no fear of lack or limitation can nppear. Money, rightly viewed, can be a Rrcat blessing to human life. But never can money bless ex cept as It be incident to the devo tion of life to primary Ideals and pursuits. It was thus In life de voted to Spirit. God. and to - hla fellow-man that Jesus found the seemingly Inadequate supplies of fish and bread abundant and Inex haustible for all right demands In life devotional one can go, aa did Elijah of old. In the strength even of a small demonstration, many days to the mountain of God. even to Horob. LIFE AFFIRMATIVE Newness of life Is life on the positive side. We should never al low the negative. Materialism la that negative Bide. Spirituality Is affirmative. Christ lesus always took the positive side and held It regardless. Can you imagine Jesus saying: I am well, but 1 must prove It! Can you hear him advancing the argument.- But we are still mortal? Would he hide behind the specious: So long as we are In the flesh? No! Jesus' "Suffer It to be so now" was In compassion to wards mortals because of the down ward tendency of the negative in thought and life. But always the call of the new life Is hew to the line, and the chips will fall where they should. Life affirmative employs reason, but does not rely on It unless It concludes In favor of good. Nega tive reasoning Is never reliable. Tbe assumption that evil Is a fact Is not a proper basis for reasoning Unless evil Is handled as a false be lief it Is not disposed of.

When the Pharisees warned him that Herod would kill blm. be flashed that keen discern ment of tbe negative nature of er ror In bis reply: "Go ye, and tell that fox. Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomor row, and the third day 1 shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that prophet perish out of Jeru salem." Jesua was not to be fooled Into conceding error its false claims to power and deadllness. In respect of evil's negative characte' be said: "resist not evil." Fighting agalnBt error as something la Itself rankest error. In Christian Science Is to be found the reason for Jesus' calm repudiation of evil. And I say to you: gear yourself to the allness of good, Its exclusive presence and power. Then take evil In your stride, unworrled, unexclted, un flexed. Mrs. Eddy used to say that when opposed by error she emu lated the grass when stepped upon, bending to the rude toot, only to come up again as it passed. LIFE INNOCENT Inspired by the realization of the exclusive presence of good, and of the unity of the real man with good, and of hla uncontamlnatlon with evil, we can live our lives free from the arch-lies, fear and worry. We can keep our thought and lives in nocent of the mesmeric argument of the pleasure or pain to be de rived from matter or to be found In matter. We can keep ourselves Innocent of sickness. Innocent of poverty, limitation, failure, anx iety; innocent of the conception or tbe entertainment of the false beliefs of mortal mind. One of the most subtly mesmerl' of false be liefs Is material medicine. This false claimant to the healing and saving power of Christ Is spiritual wickedness, for It is a claim of evil to be good. Falsely In the name of benevolence, It enslaves, and the last state of the victim Is worse than tb - first. For example, the ease produced by the anesthetic Is hyp notic. And such mesmerism is the acme' of unspirltuallty. Disease may be occasioned by some basic error of hypnotic belief all covered over with secondary fault.. The deeper guilt, the lead ing error producing the disease, may be, for example, agreement, cinscious" or tacit, with some so called law of material medicine. Vet this primary error of belief may be so covered by wrong thoughts, such as resentment adverse criti cism, hatred, lust, aelf-plty, self righteousness, or self-thinking In general, as to exclude tbe entrance of the corrective Truth, tbe healing Christ So a disease may seem to be the result of some moral fault when tho fault, however bad, la only secondary, an incident. In such cases It Is evident that cure of the obstructing false belief will clear the way for the uncovering to Truth of the basic error. Hence In the work on any case It Is proper to give attention to the destruction of all wrong thoughts. To he every whit whole one must he innocent of the belief In disease or sin. In a material world, where of fenses come. Innocency 1b the only refuge and defense. My friend, has some one done you an injustice: Are you, perchance, Indulging a false sense of damage? Are you dwelling upon tbe offense, even per haps holding it to your bosom? Are you revelling In Injury, a sense ol resentment a desire for revenge? Then are you not perpetuating the offense, and giving it undeserved reality? It does not actually harm one to he Imposed upon, but ob! how It hurts to be an Impostor! Christian Science teaches one neither to offend nor to be offended. Jesus rebuked Peter, but never ceased to love him. Dislike or tear of one'a fellowman la never Justified. Mrs. Eddy said some Individuals meet only to part, but her state ment was an observation, not a com mendation nor a recommendation. Love Is still the only power In so ciety and within one's own self. And that fact is literally true In human lite practice. And iove la the pleaa antest thing to do and to entertain. Love Is the easiest way the actual path of least resistance. Indeed, love Is the ultimate way, the way of last resort It not made the first. Love Ib the way of Innocence. Love is newness of life. LIFE ACTIVE The new birth might be called life active. Even matter, the coun terfeit of Mind, Is represented aa always In a state of motion. The material body Is renewed. It Is born again, It we are to believe the latest Ihenr: every two years or even less. If. therefore, activity la natural to the poor counterfeit, how much more Is activity the natural and Inevitable state of Mind's Idea, the real man. Ceaseless activity la man's rest as well as hla Maker's In holy work Is man renewed day by day. Growth Is Ihe man-late of Mind to man. Creation Is ever ap peering. There Is no retirement for man. no age limit, no time of un productivity. There is for man nc resting upon oars, no period of In activity. Consider the example of our Saviour, and the career of the great Leader of Christian Science. whose lives were accompanied by no selfish leisure, and no term of retirement from Intense activity In th service of God and their fellow men. Jesus' parable of the talents Illustrates the folly of the non-use of whatever ability one may have to do well certain things. Let us do with our might what our hands find they can do. Let us throw our ener gies unreservedly Into the breach against Inertia, apathy, lethargy, laziness of mind and body, those enemies of newness of life.

LIFE HARMONIOUS Finally, life harmonious. This baa special reference to the firma ment, spiritual understanding, which divides the day from the darkness. Is sucb a life ' -ssl-ble now for you and m. . Tea; Christian Science, the great power and truth of God, reveals that har mony la already within us; It needs not to be Introduced but rather to be unfolded. Harmony is the tact available for human life right hers and alwaya. Life harmonious calls tor and assures lite tranquil, lite tolerant, life moderate, life normal, life peaceful, life Joyous. Never take error too seriously. Always discount lta own self-appraisement Towards error's presumptuous argu ments be always belittling. Life harraonlcua teaches Intolerance of evil In all its ridiculous forms, but tolerance, oh! Buch tender tolerance of people! Condemning persons Is playing error's game. Evil la noth ing If not a person, or else a thing. If we are to serve our neighbor we must not merely tolerate him, we must love him. World peace Is Just: "Love thy neighbor as thy self." There is no peace in tear, hatred and selfishness, which breed war among men and nations, and discord within one's own individual consciousness. Life harmonious means hands off our neighbor and his problems. Rarely, except when Invited, can we properly enter Into his affairs. To be sure it Is Chris tian and scientific to help others, and to warn against false steps and .urking dangers; but if unsclfed and loving admonitions are unheeded, then we may feel tranquil In the cc:'.ainty that either Science or ex perience will conserve for every man his ultimate peace and har mony. Life harmonloua Is the king di n of heaven within. This king dom is never established through allowing evil to seem real, but al ways by excluding evil, as non-existent from that realm. DIVINE IMPULSION To be newly born of Spirit Is to be unresponsive to the false attrac tion of material mlndedness. lta specious promises of pleasure. Its dreadful tbreata of pain, its fasci nating allure of power and pride of position. To augment spiritual sense within us. wo must work in the seven days of Mind's creating, knowing that. so. the awful night will never come wherein "man works no more." And bo our lives will not be choked by the red dust of any Adamlc dream. If, by unto ward winds, its clouds are thrust upon us, there is always a way out Wa can wait actively on that es cape, and through Christian Science we can see the way. We must, ask of Mind wisdom, and then follow our intuitions. This is the way not of corporeal impulse, but of divine Impulsion. Unless they be of God, unless they be absolutely good, things are never what they seem. There can he no mortal dream so deep hut that revival Is there ab solutely, and will appear. Have you never read stories of escape from prison where the human eye reveal ed no possible avenue of release? There Is the story of the prisoner who. nt the penitentiary gate, pre sented fhe'sherlff with the hand cuffs supposedly locked on the prisoner's wrists. How much more surely do we know that "The devo tion of thought to an honest achievement makes the achieve ment possible." (S. and H. p. 199: 21). The attentive, warm, scientific Christian observes ways and means to thwart error and to experience good, unseen to the casual, disin terested or Indolent eye. A PATH AROUND THE RIM No chllllngest circumstance of adverse fate, no fiercest blow of outrageous fortune, no thickest storm of red dust can choke or fal ter or cool the ardor of him that shapes his course In newness of life, in the renaissance of Spirit. I once had occasion to visit a dear Chris tian Scientist whose life partner she had Just laid away. She greet ed me tranquilly, composed In body and mind, even with calmness, peace ana joy. I said, tell me about It my friend: and she replied: "When my loved one seemed to go out 1 found myseir. after thirty years of perfect companionship, suddenly confronted with what appeared to be a chasm in my life. It seemed aa though I stood at the brink of a vast valley, and that If I was to go on In life's Journey, I must go down Into that terrible depression. And then Christ came In the gloom, and I saw the chasm was only an illusion of the senses, not of God, divine Life, therefore unreal, actu ally non existent, and that I could face It and. if need be, even go through It "Then came the spiritual sense of life, Its continuity, ever-presence. and of man as forever inseparable from God. his divine Life. Awak ened. I saw clearly that If I did descend Into the canyon of frrtef, the slough of loss and loneliness, the bogs of despair, I should only, eventually, have to climb un the other Bide. I should enter the downward road with certainty of no comfort to myself, no benefit to my beloved, and no satisfaction to my friends. So I asked God for a better way. And He showed me a path around the rim. And I am Joyously treading the way above the illusion of mortal mind's grief and woe." And oh! my friend, however dis mal and abysmal tbe prospect may be. to human sen-e. there is al ways the light of Life and Truth and Love to Illumine It, and to dis sipate the counterfeit presentments. And there Is always a path around the rim of error's phantasmagoria, a path discernible to thoe that alk in newness of Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter, to those that walk In life Inspirational, ts all that turn away from the falsity of material ene. "Walk In the light, and thou shall see Thy path, though thorny, bright; For God by grace shall dwell with thee. And God Himself Is Llsht." C S.
