Full Report of
A Lecture on

Entitled:
Christian Science:
Newness of Life
by
Dr. John M. Tutt, C. S. B.
of Kansas City, Missouri
HtabH of tho Board of Lo.tur..blp o(
rk Mother Churrh, Tho Tlr.l Church of
Chrl.l. Scl.fltltt. IB Uo.loa, HihhIihhiu.
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

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.

that to my sense, always has wil

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

hensive grasp of the plan of the

perspective In which the details as

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

and where can falsity be enter
tained but within one'a own false
consciousness? No error finds
lodgment In real consciousness.

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. Jesua

knew error's negatlr character.
and he made neither too much nor
too little of It he made Just noth
Ing of evil. Jesus knew tbat error is
tbat which Is not true. He knew
that error has the elements of ab
surdity and can be utterly discount
ed with impunity He never let
himself be worried nor hurried nor
flurried. 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. The
man that uses and conserves his
energies need never want Hit
thrm win ears for his years and
settle scientifically all concern over

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."
