Mental TmasfuimaHofl Necessary With a correct uaderttsndlng of divine Mind as lha one intelllaent cause, and man aa Mind's eternal Idea, wntise real seiraoog is goodness, as the basis for right thinking. Chris Hon Science shows man how to make this truth prmctleaM in his dally problems. The method is tbe sup planting In conaetoaeeteai of the tem poral aad mortal aemse of Ufa and. selfhood with the true and eternal facta of spiritual lira and manhood. It l a mental tranaformatlon which! gradually 'exchanges a material foH the spiritual sens of being. Mental transformation is recoanK ed by society aa tho wsy of progress and reform. All eaaestionsi effort is but the surDlaatiaff of lanorant and limited concepts of being with more intelligent ones. Tyranny and slaver bav disappeared as ranldly as man's thought has gained a clearer sense of the rights of man. Tie whole process or meniai ensage seem it ine natural and right way to better things. And so It la not only la attaining better thing Inhumaa society, but In that far more Important realm or thought which deals with man's relMlonsnlit to Ood. Through the tesehlngs of Christlsn Selene the fslie and limit ed concepts of Ood aad men are giving way to that true sea or being wuch liberates from tae tyranny or aia asta tbe slavery of diseased beliefs. The greatest proclamation of emaa- clitatlon ever uttered was given by Jems whea he saM. Ye snsll know the truth, aad tk truth sball make yon free " W cannot know what la true while wo believe what ia false. Two objects caaaot occupy tho same space at tbe same time, no more can an erroneous concept, of Ood and the true Idea of Him be In thought to gether. Truth (Thaajass Mast's Viewpoint That consciousness must change upon which haa dawned tbe tru Idea of Ood and man. Life's outlook can not remain the same, in place of re garding blauelf aa auaortai or a few days set loose In a world of Injustice. misery and woe, to weather tho storms as beat be may or he crushed by them, with a vague concept of Ood, distant end Indifferent to his needs, man be gins to give place in bis consciousness to the true snd eternal Idea, of crea tion. Ho finds himself coming Into conscious touch with his creator and begins to recognise the meaning of John's statement, "Oar fellowship is with tbe rather.' Tnrougn tue ansa os of mortality ho begins to see light and to reallio that he has Indeed a part to til In tb Inlalte plan.

Evil does not yclld Its usurped authority simply because man desires to be rid of It. It must be combated Intelligently. Man must know some thing of Its nature and be wise enough to detect IU deceitful subtleties, bring Its lies from under cover. Until he Is wise, msn cannot be good. "How much better Is it to get wltdom thsn gold!," said Solomon, and Jesus ad raonltbcd his followers to bo as wise ss seritents. Only u man reflects Cod docs he gsin wisdom, ror an wis dom It In Uod, it Indigenous to Mind, and Is naturally reflected hy Mind's Idea. man. U'ltdom so gained tranerendft nil mortal opinion and hti- msn ' conjecture. It enaoies man to Judge nnd act righteously, to avoid use loss conflicts, and always to meet evil with good. It enables him to distinguish between the thing of tho moment nnd tho things or eternity. Wisdom points tbe right way in every human sltustion and exalts Principle, which It Ood, to be the one lawgiver lu man's dally life. Watchfahsrss .Veetled rVulpped with divine wisdom, msn becomes a watchmen at tbe door of consciousness, alert and vigilant. He scrutinises tbe thoughts thst seek entrance there, separates Just so far aa he knows how the chaff from the wheat, the raise from tbe true, tbe mortal from the Immortal, and rejects tbe evil and mortal as baring no right to eater. Keeping his mlad tilled with goodness be finds to be tbe best pro tection against all evil. Fear, dis couragement, hatred, disease, dis honesty, selfishness, lust, and all sin. he strives to keep out of bis thought, for be knows that they are not of Ood and therefor do not properly belong to HI reflection, man. He naree to dlsaaree with these thieves and robbers that would deprive him or Lspplness and health and despoil Ms cmrscicr. ' u hntMi . 3rkcib atioaiMifttlon, or muketh a lie," as Joha puts It. he seeks to exclude from his thought. Ho stops tolerating evil; In -::.rclounes. stoita talking about t.tr dwelling upon It, out turns upon It -ir en enmv snd drive It out with tPiugl'lK of Triitt. He begins tc realise that man as Ood hs made Mm Is not tbe slave of evil in any form but has dominion over It. Evil can bave no more power over man than over bis Maker, since man Is one with Ood. Vswerei-hux Kvll Christian Science shows man how to defend himself against evil In every form. It shows that evil sees to control aad reach man either through mental suggestion, tbat It, through elvl thoughts thrust Into his con sciousness, or by way of tbe physical senses. In the last analysis both methods ar auccestlon. Evil's subtle argument always Is. as science ana Health explains, "it is i" IP. sour. It seeks to make man believe Its claim of tin or sickness la a part of his real self. Man finds that. Just be- cause tbe body says, -you nave a rein." he does not bave to respond.

When man understands his divine rights he csnnot be made the victim of evil, tin or disease If, however, mortal man has not learned or hit rights to Immunity from evil and tlrkncfm, or Is afraid of tlit-'e claims snd puts In no defense. or If knowing hit rlghtg he neglects to defend hlmeir, in any of these cstet Judgment It taken sgslntt him as though ilio claims were true, tlnce nothing It done to expose their falsity. My friend, we have been allowing unjust Judgment to bo taken against uk. We havo not been defending our rights to life, health nnd hspplness, sometimes because of negligence, more often because of Ignorance. Christian Science shows u how to make our defense, expose the falsity of evils claims and preserve the Into grlty or our well-being. How lo (Iain aa Understanding of Christian Hriewre Tbe question Is often asked. What la necessary for one to acquire that understanding of Uod and man which displace tbe faleo concepts of materi ality with the truth of spiritual being. beats tbe sick, and enables one to solve life's problem? Earnest study or the truth as set rortn in tne bidm and Science aad Health, and Its con stant application In dally life. Is essential. It Is also necessary In approaching this queslon to remem ber tbat Ood and not man governs tbe universe. It I Ood's will and not the personal will of mortal man tbat must control. Not Infrequently people come to Cbristlaa Science for help with tbe desire to have Ood work In their way. They wish to tell Ood what to do and perhaps offer a little advice on the best way for Him to do It. Such a state of mind never gets near to Ood, for It has failed to recog nize that man's whole being is tne expression of Ood and is eterlslly sub. jeet to His win, wnicn governs tne universe for tbo benefit and happi ness of all. Self-surrender, surrender of tbe mortal semte of selfhood. Is neccessary to know God. Mortal msn must be llllnt: to let God's will be done whether or not It coincides with bis persons! preference. Many business deals ought never to work out tbe way men would bave them, and Christian Science will never help through a dishonest business deal or give the slightest assistance to any evil purpose. It Is the operation of God's will alone. Ocd dwelleth with htm that Is of an humble and contrite spirit. Friends. It requires true con rare to be humble. It should further be borne in mind tbat Uod eschews all evil, that he does not tolerate selfishness, self-will, dis honesty or sin In any form. He who seeks to understand Ood must de so with this fact in mind and be willing to surrender the mortal tense of self and all of hi. false mortal beliefs as rapidly es tbey come to light. Ho must be sincere and honest. Some try to get to heaven carryinR a little hell along with them, under cover. Hell Is cur sinful beliefs and the Ores of suffering ther Inevitably bring. Such a one makes no headway In Christian Science and soon finds tbat he cannot lay hold of heaven with one hand while holding on to hell with tho other. We cannot serve two masters. Uod is One and Infinite, and His blessings come not to tbe self-seeker, to the hypocrite or to the worldly-wise, who, snugly wrapped in the garments of hla self-conceit would try a little of God In a way ot his own. tl Is the self-surrender of her who gave the widow's mite, her earthly all, tbe contrition of the publican, tho brotherly love ot tho good Samaritan, that marks the earnest seeker for Ood and enables him to reach the heart of ever-present Love. Jesus said. "Ex cept ye . . . become as little chil dren, ye shall not enter into the king dom ot heaven." This showed that tbe kingdom of heaven Is not a place but a state of consciousness, to flld which one must acquire the childlike qualities or love, gentleness, numiuty, unselfishness, purity and goodness, Thua we see that heaven Is not a fu ture stste of regal refuge but a pres ent reward for righteous tninxing. Instead of dying his way Into heaven, roan must think his way in. and this is Just aa truo this day and hour as when Jesus 8aia It. it is tnese cnttu like qualities of thought thst one needs to sain an understanding ot Christian Science, to gain the Mind of Christ, tho consciousness or Trutn. Little by little, through study and application, one-acquires these qual ities of thought and comes into living oneness with ever present good. Ood. Thus is man's consciousness so filled with goodness that sin, disease and sorrow are brought under subjection, cast out, and destroyed. l-rayer Through true prayer man learns to know Ood. A correct understanding of prayer Is therefore essential to an understanding of Christian Science. Scientific prayer Is the modus of all Christian accomplishment. A Chris tian Science treatment is prayer. As Christian Science explains it. prayer is not Imploring a far-away Dlety. It is the simple and natural process ot thinking In accord with the ever-pres-ent Principle, Incorporeal good, God. It Is that thinking which shuts out tho claims ot material senso nnd places all trust, confidence, and faith In Ood, relying solely upon His power and wisdom to protect and maintain the Integrity or His universe. Includ ing man. Thus we see that the Scriptural command. "Pray without ceasing," simply means to think righteously always. Through prayer thus understood man finds his one ness In thought and character with Ood, his scientific and oternal unity with divine Mind, everlasting good. Through prayer lie gains tbo light of Truth In consciousness that drive out fear, hoala dlseaso, and gives man the moral strength which resists and over comes sin. Prayer la man'a active manifestation or his oneness with Uod. It Is right mental activity based on a true ccneont of Ood and man. Ilnco aln. disease- aad all ovll la tho lutcome of wrong thinking. It must be plain that the prayer of right tklakalg la the only way that over comes tae world, the leak, and -nil evil, It U man'a Qod-giv privilege whereby he Snda his oa with tk Infinite and bis plac la th laflalt ?

"This people draw near me with their mouth," wrote Isaiah, "aad with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart fsr from me." The trouble has not been with men' words.

Eddy Mrs. Eddy, tb Discoverer aad Founder of Christian Science, wa n gentle, refined, and cnltard New England woman. A natlv of New Hampshire, she received her early re ligious training from PvriUn snronts, becoming member of th eoaigraffa tional church In her girlhood. Mrs. Eddy early In life evinced a deeply re ligious nature. She was ever ekiag for tbe truth about lira a th Bible taught it. without concern for merely man-made doctrines, aa evidenced by her refusal to accept the doetrln of predestination whea ah Joined th orthodox church. Passing through human trial of more than usual severity hat always trusting In Ood aad eeeklag to knew more of Him, Mrs. Eddy dlaeorared the law of Christian healing at a time when a severe accident threatened ber life aad her entire trast had to be Placed in other than material reme dies. Her first glimpse of this spirit ual law through which she was then healed was followed by complete re tirement from society for sarerat years in order that she might th more diligently devote her Urn to th study of th Scriptures and glean from them a fuller understanding of this law and its application to human needs. In 1875 th text-book of Christian Sclence'Scienc and Health with Key to tbe Scriptures." waa pab llthed by her, setting forth th result of her labors. The Bible, with which all tbe tesehlngs of Christian hVlence aro la agreement, and this book, have ever since remained the baala of all Christian Science teaching. For her unfaltering courage In the face of world opposed to her, for ber unfailing devotion to Principle. for her love for Ood aad her devotion to the cans of nnlrersal betteraseat. and for ber wise and loving leader ship. Christian Scientist honor and respect Mrs. Eddy. They recogalae ber great work for them and far nil mankind, even the reopening; and making plain of the way for Indlvid usl and universal salvation. To held a lesser opiates of ber end her Mse work would he to deny what I tree. It would be to shut out honesty and leave the heart frosen with the In gratitude which aat the doer en good, to him who is thus deceived. We all need gratitude, for gratitude goes hand in hand with right think ing. Gratitude Is indeed the acknow ledgment ot good present. Gratitude Is tbe recognition ot Ood with n aad opeaa the doors of Uiougkt to. heaven ly things. Many expressions ot the hlghets re gard aad respect for phyalciaae aad ministers are to bo fouad in the writ ings of Mrs. Eddy, although aha could not concur with- their view upon medical and rellgjona aabjecta. Chris tian Scientists entertain no hostility toward tbe nMdUcol. profeeslon nor toward those whose religious opinions differ from their own. They respect In the fullest degree the right of every individual to thing aa he or she may choose upoa medical or reHgtona nut ters, free from interference from oth ers, and tbey ask but the same prtvlt ege for themselves. Cumin ton My friends, but two thing are hap pening In the world today. Every ex perience, every phenomenon, howso ever Insignificant or howsoever Im portant It may seem, from the mortal combat of nations to the kind thoaght or tbe little child, to but n part either ot tbe temporal aad disappearing phe nomena of evil destroying Itself, or, a part of the true aad eadurlng phe nomena of Ood manifesting Himself. Neither you nor I can awerve a hair, breadth the immutable operation ot these law of Ood. What yon aad I may do Is to choose whether we shall be dominated and deceived by evil hastening to IU final destructloa. with its attendant hell of suffering, or whether we sball be obedient to the divine Mind, Ood. aad partakers ot tbe genulae happiness, health and welt being to which we are rightfully entitled. Christian Scleace doea not argue with any one. It doe not urge any one to accept It tesehlngs. It simply presents them to the world an they are and points to the evidence of the multitude ot men and women who have tried them and found them not wanting. The choice must be Indlvl . vtdual. No one can work out our sal vation for us. No one can know Qod by proxy.
