May not all tha auppossd lm

Under tha Influence ot ordln'

Christian Bclence brings to mor

TUB PERNKITION Or CM RA

If wa ara to escape tha dan

tba pathway ot human etlateuce,
our etartlng polut, therefore,
muat be a perfect Ood and a per

which Chrlatlan Bclanca haa
brought to light. Moat of ua
have recollectlone of a Ood man

Kelly, though more or Ives pre
valent to thla day, Is steadily
giving place to a conception ot
God as Spirit, Mind, without out

and allpowerful. Not every
one realises, however, that this
advance toward an enlightened
conception of Deity during tha
past halt century baa been lark-
Ir due to the discovery ot tnrie-

When we conceive of Principle in
this sense, that la. ae ever-pre

Thla conception enabled Paul
to declare "Ona Ood and Father

They ara only creations of mor

ara all cured by tha same spir

who, as boys ara wont to do, ona

with all tha force ha could com

came around tba corner of a
building and crossed the path of
the speeding mlsallo. The stone
did 'not hit hor, though It seem

of'ipar, malice, and rj- rse as
companions and causea ot dis
ease, and In a ssnse they are,
but In a truer sense they ara dif
ferent names tor essentially tha
lama thing. There la no sharp
distinction between tha grip ot
rage and tha wrench ot so-called
physical pain. All these things
ara mental - monstrosities, and
hence Mrs. Eddy could truly aay
that "not partially, but fully, tha
great healer ot mortal mind is
tha healer of tha body" (Selene's
and 'slth, page 826)..

TUB REALM OF MIND.
Th.o Chrlatlan Sclenca concep
tion of Ood ai Mlud, Life, L-ive,
aud Principle haa, as wa have
seen, tbe aupport of reason and
revelation alike. Ileason and
revelation likewise loal- that
man, Ood'a creature, la Ilka Ood;
la, to use tba words of tha Bible,
the Image and llkeneia of Ood;
or, to employ tba language of
Christian Bclsnoa, man Is th re
flection or axprassloa ot Ood. In
other words, Life, Mind, Love,
Principle ara reflected by man.
Man, tben, must be mental and
spiritual; ba must ba conaclous-
seee, rather than corporeality;
and, finally, ha must ba perfect
and Immortal, whatever tha hu
man mind may aupposa or mis
take him to be.
Tbe human mind, because It
la human, catches at moat only
faint gllmpaea of what la going
on about ua. Kven In tba pbyal
ca realm, and according to phys
ical aclence, tbe eye and ear.
since tbey aaapoad only to a lim
ited range of the vlbratlona aup-
poaed to be tbe baals of slgbt and
hearing, taking no cognisance
either of tha lower or of the
blgher vibrations, recognise only
section, a fragment, of the
phenomena' ot this world. Small
wonder, then, that personal sense
or tbe human mind la unabla to
take In the beauty aad wonder
of spiritual things. When It tries
to do ao It forma grotesque
picture, and Instead of visualis
ing tbsm In their glory and per
fection It .disfigure them and
r-idera tbem sickly an' agly.
Bo It la not surprising that tha
human mind should misinterpret,
ahould belittle man. And thla Is
precisely what tba human mini
doea. Divine Mind creates and
sees man spiritual and perfect,
above and beyond disease; but
the human mind, onabla to cm-p-chend
mm In bis fur aeas and
perfect) in, visualises him as
physical, finite form or figure,
ewayed by evil, torn, at by dls-
always limited r.nd ' per
fect Thue It la that evil, dis
ease, and Imperfection have their
source and abiding place in the
human mind or consciousness.
Hence their cure must there be
brought about. And it Is In the
realm of tha mental, which after
all la tha only realm, that Chrls-
tion Science operates.
Material things, tl human
body Included, seem very real
and tangible. But actually mat
ter la only a mistaken sense ot
things ae dense and he vy, as
having weight and ends and
sides. For the human mln Is,
so to speak, short-sighted, it
gets a blur . sense of things as
dimensional and ponderous. This
restricted eense ot things consti
tutes matter. Matter w"l there
fore disappear as mortal aense,
under the influence ot truth,
glvea way to a ' right perception
which aeea things aa they ara In
spiritual perfection. The disap
pearance of matter do ic not mean
that tha foundation ot things will
slip away or that tha Individual
will disappear or lose bis iden
tity. It means that our heavy,
awkward, cumbered. Buffering
sense ot ourselves, and of things
g-nerally. will give place to tha
buoyant, free, spiritual the true
aensa ot God and ot ourselves.
A person absorbed in his work,
a musician or baseball player for
example, forgets hla h nda and
limbs. Then come lightness, pre
cision, and grace ot action. If
consciousness were entirely de
tached from tha bod the Indi
vidual would not loss hla Iden
tity. Ha would almply part with
hla heavy aensa ot himself, for
that la what the physical body is,
and ha would gain tha freedom
ot movement and locomotion
which hla thought now enjoys;
and thought runs instantly
whlthersoeve It will. It doea not
know locality, distance, or ob
struction. Wa experience some
thing ot thla freedom In dreams,
where we do not lose ourselves
but .only our heaviness. And
should we aa Incorporeal beings
be able to recognise and com
municate wliu each other? Cer
tainly, and with more facility
than before, because perception
la mental, communion Is ex
change of thoughts, and what
mortals call objects aia, It they
are anything. Ideas.
8uppose three persona ara to
gether in a room. Tha first one.
fully awake and with ayes wld
open, aeea, aa ha looka toward
tha conter ot the room, a table
with people- gathered about It
eating dinner. Tha second with
eyea closed but with attention
fixed In tha aame direction, aeea,
precisely where tha table appears
to bla companion, a field ot wav
tng grain with people hard at
work with their harvesting Im
plements. Tha third, meanwbllo
having fallen asleep, visualises,
in the same place, not a field of
wheat nor a dining table, but a
rugged mountain, and, starting
to climb it, losea hla footing and
tumbles over a precipice.
These things, tben, which, aeem
so fixed and rigid,, and which we
call formations of matter, are
roally formations ot thought.
And dlfforent Individuals In dif
ferent atatea of mortal conscious
ness formulate different things
aad different events, all la the
same place at tba aame time,
with no collisions nor interfer
ences tha ona with tha other.
And this will continue until we
all Bra awakened aad drawn by
tba truth Into tba oua absolute
coBsclousnsss, whloh la Ood,
where wa shall not lose our indKl
vldualltles, but where wa shall
drop our beliefs of accident and
strife and distress, snd guln a
senaa ot security and continuous
life.
Wa live, then, In a mental
realm. All thlnga ara mental,
man blmaelf being an aggrega
tion ot thoughts, a stats of con
sclousosss, instead of an aggre
gation of cells or a physical body
as physiology oeciares. ana 11 is
toward consclousneee rather than
corporeality that Chrlatlan Bcl
ence treatment la directed. Sci
ence, by declaring perfection ia
all things and la all plaoea, oper
ates to eliminate from human
consciousness Its beliefs that mat
Mr la actual, that disease la pres
ent, that evil la attractive. It
sweepa from conaclousneea tba
beavy, sickly aensa ot man, ana
brings out tbe true aensa of man
aa healthy and holy, aa spiritual
and perfect.
For there ara not two man, ona
material and tba other spiritual,
ona bad the other good, ona sick
tha other well. There Is only
ona man, tbe perfect. Immortal
man of divine Mlnd'a creating.
Tha aupposedly physical, Imper
fect man ia only tha nnman
mind's mistaken aense of what
man Is. This falsa aensa-of man
must be displaced by tha true
if health and continuous
Ufa ara to be realized. And this
la exactly what Christian Science
la doing. It Is bringing out In
tha experience ot tha Individual
a aensa of his true selfhood a
self which knows and manlfesU
good and health and intelligence,
and It la putting aalda tha erron
eous sense of man as alck and
aonsnal and mortal.
Christian Bclence aceompliabee
thla by presenting tbe facts 10
the individual and arousing him
to tha true sll notion. It declare
to him that tha presence of God
ho la Love and Life leavea no
place or possibility for disease
and Buffering; that man aa ins
reflection of Ood Is aa perfect in
a degree aa Ood is: that man la
an exoreseton of perfect Life and
Mind and therefor tnai n u
well and known that he is wall.
Tba affect of thes trutna, ai
thev ara accepted by th tndivw-
ual, la to work a change In con
sciousness whereby his sens of
naln or unrest, which Is raise
gives place to a aena ot health
and peace, wnicn ia una.
THE REAL MAN

What la tha connection be
tween th spiritual, perfect man
and tha physical aensa ot mem
Simply this: As you get even a
faint concentloa of your raal
selfhood aa an axpreaslon ot dl
vine Life, Mind and Love a man
ot Principle and hold to this
conception aa best you can from
day to day, repudiating as none
of yours all alckly ana wrongiui
thoughts, yoa find that tba mis
taken, sensuous concept of your
self begins to fade away, and the
true seme ot yourself as tree
from dleeasa and evil and llml
Itatlon cornea out more and more
n vour axserlence. Ton find
vour Intellectual faculties expand'
Ing, your capacity for doing
thlna-s enlarged, your affection
tor good increasing, your Ufa
moving toward tha harmonious
and ideal,
By this mental or spiritual
process you put oft tha old, tha
imperfect, tha Adam man, ana
put on the new, the real, the
Christ man, aa Paul admonlsnee.
In this way yoa work out your
own salvation, that is, extricate
yourself from the difficulties and
dlstresaes which aeem to enmesh
vou. You accomplish this by
right thinking, loiiowea up oj
right doing, a process In which
every Individual can effectively
engage, a process wherein every
one becomes his own physician
and his own spiritual adviser.
Everyone haa observed that
rlx-ht tboughta. when held to,
noasess a certain energy which
puts wrong thoughts to tllrht.
You have it in your powar, by
giving audience to healthful and
wbolesoma thoughts ana reject
ing sickly and sensual thoughts,
to attain a consciousness which
knows only good and harmony.
In other words, you can, with
Ood'a help, have that Mind which
was In Christ Jesus, and which
will. It you give It opportunity,
produce tha perfect man In you
aa truly aa it did In him. Tba
potentiality ot right thinking Is
boundless, for thereby yoa find
vour oneness With Ood. The
way to know one's true self Is,
after all, to Know uoa. tor uoa
Idea ot man Is the only real islt.
Wa have been too much given
whereas Ood aa M1M, Life, and
Love, la always at '.and. Ba ia
so near that, aa Paul saya. He
Is In yoa and through you. This
meana that perfect Lit I assert

thla truth fills- consciousness the
belief of distress necessarily malts
away. It la Imposslbl tor you
to entertain a ballet of alckness
and at tba same Urn reallc th
presence of Ood who la perfect
Life. Buch contraries cannot both
stand In tha same consciousness
at tha same time. And aa tho
falsa concept fadee out, yoa will
realise that tha true on haa al

at him. It may b said, aad fall
to a blm because ot our human
short-sightedness, oar clouded
mortal vision. But a right per
ception, a tra vision, on our
part, would reveal him.
Thla vision and perception
esua possessed, lor, aays Mrs
Eddy, "Jesus beheld la Science
tbe perfect maa, who appeared
to him wher sinning mortal
maa appear to mortals. In this
perfect maa tha Saviour aaw
Ood's own likeness, and thla cor
rect view of man healed the
sick" (Bclence aad Health pp.
47. ill.) ,
THE TRUE VISION
What wa need, tben, la to gain
that perception which will enable
us to see ourselves and others
cleansed ot tha "muddy vesture
ot decay" with which mortal
thought would clotba us. How
shall wa cultivate that percep
tion? By being good. By aet-
Jjng the affections on thlnga
hove. By thinking wnoiMime
thoughts. By departing from tha
sensuoua and, "bringing into cap
tivity every thought to th obed
ience ot Christ." Thus waa Paul
caught ap Into Paradise, where
he saw Indescribable wonders.
and John saw tha new heavea
and tha new earth wherein waa
no corporal body with appetites
and sufferings. These men wera
still groping in tha dnbioas twi

tiona with which w struggle, yet

sciousness, and wa. can attain it.
wherein men know as they are
known.
True vision la realised mora
or leas by people right among us
In tba hurry and confusion ot
modern life, but we bear little
of what they ae because persons
ot tine sensibilities shrink from
volclna their extraordinary ex-
perlencea. I know a little girl

Th girl aaw something ot tha
