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

Evil does not yclld Its usurped

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

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.
'Yes. 1 have a. pain and I am sick."
or because mental suggestion says. "I
hat that man," he needs to accept
fuch1 a thought Into his consciousness.
He learns that these claims or evil
are Just a Dart of evil's lie abonf-man.
They are no part of the one Infinite
Mind or It manifestation, ana man
haa every reason in the world to dls
nute them and deny their legality.
He learns to assert with all the au-
thorlir of Ood Himself what is tne
eart of belna;. namely, that man la In

My friend, we have been allowing

sometimes because of negligence,
more often because of Ignorance.
Christian Science shows u how to

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.

Mi. 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

respect Mrs. Eddy. They recogalae

It would be to shut out honesty and
leave the heart frosen with the In

We all need gratitude, for gratitude
goes hand in hand with right think
ing. Gratitude Is indeed the acknow

Is tbe recognition ot Ood with n aad

Many expressions ot the hlghets re

not concur with- their view upon

toward those whose religious opinions
differ from their own. They respect

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
