S. of Kania City, Missouri M 1 la '" 1 UtlmtM t Tha MMkM ci...... it., rm cu. d cwki, IdaMM, ai lala, UMUtkmtU Mr. Howell di'llvered the lecture her Krlilny nlglit at the Kreinoot auilllorlum He wn IntiHxIurnl by Cliarli'a Parmeln. Mend: The kingdom of heaven 1 at hand I Christ Jeua told us plainly that the kingdom of Ood Is a menial aiate, nut a ihsh-tum inaw habitation. He (aid. "The kingdom of Ood cometh not with ooeervauon: neither shall they say. Lo here I or, Lo there I for, behold, the kingdom of rind la within vou." The kingdom of heaven, or the kingdom of Ood, that divinely men tal state or wnicn Jesus poae, in elude all that Is, real and true, all that la eood and harmonious, all that Is apUitual. aU that 1 truly mental, all that Is realty auDstanuai and enduring. Mankind 1 thirst for the klnKdom of heaven. The way leading to the kingdom of heaven Is available to all; for the way Is found through study and practice of the laws of eternal Life as applied to human affairs. Jesus knew these law and practiced them; that Is what makes him our. Way-shower. Law I no respecter of persona. Everyone may become a beneficiary of all of Ood s beneficent laws for man. Through His laws Ood tenderly and compassionately governs Hla Infinite creation from the least to the greatest. Even the law of nature, rightly understood, Mrs. Eddy point out are God's laws, although what we usually call laws ot nature Ignore the presence ana power of divine Mind. The laws of Ood. unconsciously Ig nored or nrglected through many centuries since their revelation through Christ Jesus have been brought to light again In Christian Bdenoe. Mrs. Eddy's supreme affec tion for good has made Ood'a laws available to us, and our own affec tion for good will enable us to un derstand and make use of them. A supreme affection for good reveal and make available all the benefi cent laws of Ood. THE DISCOVERER All her life. Mary Baker Eudy, c Discoverer and Founder of Christian Bclence. wa actuated by a great de sire to know Ood. During all the year of her search for Ood, her ar fectlon for good, a aha knew It, sus tained her. For many years prior to her discovery that tha kingdom of heaven 1 present here and now. Mrs. Eddy raftered sever Invalidism. To her great desire to know Ood, which influenced everything aha did. was now added the desire to gain her health, her normal physical freedom. After exhausting all material means known to herself and to her friends, nhe one day called for her Bible and asked to be left alone. She ceased looking for help from matter, and turned without reservation to Spirit In her extremity, she placed herself under the fundamental law of Ood that law which recognizes that Ood Is good only and that He Is AU. She had unconsciously turned away from the material, erroneous belief In the reality of both of such opposite as good and evil, life and death, the spiritual and the mate rial, and had grasped instinctively the scientific, spiritual reality of the oneness and allness of good, Ood. As a result of this spiritual exalta tion, she was Instantaneously healed of the effects of an Injury caused by an accident She arose and dressed herself and, to use her own words, written years later, CMiscel laneou Writings, p. 24), "I . . , ever after was In hotter health than I had before enjoyed." OOD Mrs. Eddy's discovery revealed the allness of good, Ood, and the para mount necessity of nn undivided af fection for good. Ood, Mrs. Eddy tells us, Is "unchangeable, all-wise, all-Just all-merciful; the over loving, ever-living Life, Truth, Love: comforting such as mourn, opening the prison doors to the captive, marking the unwlnged bird, pitying with more than a father's pity; healing the sick, cleansing the leper, raising the dead, saving sin ners" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 134), "Not more to one than to all, Is Ood demonstrable as divine Life, Truth, and Love" (Ibid., p. 150). Again she defines Ood as divine Principle or cause, the only Lawmaker; as Spirit the only true substance; as divine Mind or Intelligence; and as Soul, truo consciousness. , , Jesus worded the first command ment as "Thou shall love the Lord thy Ood with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." The first commandment as given by Moses, "Thou shnlt havo no other gods beforo me," enjoins nn un divided nffoctlon for good. Without an affection for good, a love for Ood, one can make no progress Splrlt ward. An undivided affection for good la the genius of Christian Bcl ence, the spark which fires its ac tivity In human consciousness. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Christian Science reveals that Ood, divine Mind, Is the only creator and tlmt His creation Is Ilk Him; that Is, spiritual, harmonious, and eternal, tho kingdom of heaven. It reveals that the human mind, the supposed rulor of the klngdord ot this world, Is not an originator; tlmt It merely counterfeits the creation of tha one perfect divine Mind; and that every material object and con cept every "cherished" belief and practice (Bclence and Health, p. 141) Is but a counterfeit or nn opposite, a dream, a perverted sense of some real, eternnl Idea or Ideal In divine , Mind, Christian Bclence ahowa to Christian humanity th way whereby false. distorted, mortal belief or concept may be translated back Into their better original; In other words, Christian Bclence show the way by which mortal may exchange then fleeting, false, and suffering con' cept for the kingdom of heaven, the reign and rule of unchanging, dl vine Intelligence. Christian Science bring to light the fact that there 1 a spiritual supply present for every human need, a solution through spiritual understanding for every conceivable problem; In other words, a divine law present and available for all who strive to understand It. Prom her healing, Mrs. Eddy learned that she had hod but one real need all her life, and that was to understand spiritually the nature of Ood and His availability to mankind through His law. Slie saw that the answer to this one great need hod met all her needs and would meet all the needs of others. Therefore, Mrs. Eddy set herself the task of re' veallng to all mankind the nature of Ood and HI ever operative laws, and of explaining Just how the Indi vidual may consciously ana scicn tlflcally benefit by their operation. These revealed laws of Ood Mrs. Eddy named Christian Bclence. THE TEXTBOOK Many year later, after she had tested and verified them, Mrs. Eddy gave these laws to the world in her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Bcripturee," the textbook of Christian Science. In this book are found, on every page, careful, scien tific rules which, when understood, obeyed, and practiced, bring most desirable results; better morals, bet ter health, better business, happier and more useful lives. Let us open this book. Oratltude compels us to do it reverently, for through the truths contained witmn Its covers men and women have been restored to purity and health, businesses have been reestablished on the basis of service to mankind, broken homes have been made happy again, and life has been made worth living to tnousanos oi our iei low creatures. Oet a copy ot this book; own one of your own; you will realize more and more how precious it Is. Study It In connection with the Book of books, the Bible; practice what you learn In your study. The truth these two book contain win meet your hu man need. Let us turn, for Instance, to page 346 of Science and Health. Remem ber, now, we are looking for rules to be used In practice, we read. 'Mi terlal beliefs must be expelled to make room for spiritual understand ing." Here we have a most Impor tant rule for solving our problems. On naoe 201 of the same book, oe- ainnlnn with Una 17. we find: "The way to extract error from mortal mind Is to pour in truui tnrougn flood-tides of Love." Now let us do Just what wa are told to da We must loiiow our ruie careiuuy. ixt us seek the specific truth with wnicn to replace tha lie we may be enter taining. This truth may be found bv reversirn the lie which has de ceived us. On nage 130 we find. "Science reverses the raise testi mony of the physical senses, and by this reversal monais arrive ai uie fundamental facts of being." The truth we havo found, made strong with divine Love, will heal us. But If we do not find our freedom in stantly, let us follow the rule given on page 417: "Maintain the facts 'of Christian Science, that Spirit Is Ood, and therefore cannot be sick; that what Is termed matter cannot be sick; that all causation Is Mind, acting through spiritual law. Then hold your ground with the unshaken understanding or Truth, ana Lave, and you will win." On every page ot this remarkable book the sincere seeker will find stated the divine laws of Life and rules for their establishment in daily living. He will find, too, the false laws of the human mind exposed and rules for the reduction ot them to their native nothingness. 8earch the pages of Science and Health for these laws and rules ot Christian Science practice. Mrs. Eddy does not always say, "Do this," or "Avoid tlmt." but her book makes clear that a desire for spiritual growth and an earnest affection for good will en able the seeker to find these laws and rules. Then, having found them, he does well who puts them Into practice. One can readily see what was wrong In the case ot the woman who complained that she bad read Sci ence and Health through five times and yet had not received her longed- ror neaung. a wise mono explain ea: "We both have cookbooks In our possession which contain recipes for many delectable cokes. We may read a cake recipe through flvo or even fifty times, but not until we have done what the recipe demands, may we reasonably expect to be able to have any cake to eat" Is It reason able to expect that the mere reading of the laws and rules of eternal Life revealed In Bolcnce and Health can take the place of putting them Into practice? So powerful Is Truth that many healings do result from the rending of this book. Indeed, the last one hundred pages of Solence and Health are filled with the testi monies of persons who were healed simply by reading the textbook. These healings were brought about of course, by a transforming of the readers' thought, but if fear, Igno rance, or sin persists In spite of the lnnourlng of the truth of "perfect Ood and perfect man" (Science and Health, p. 2S9) tnrougn tne pages of tha Bible and of Science and Health, Christian Science reveals the fact thnt these errors of thought cannot remain in human conscious ness when truth Is practiced In the daily life. EVIL OR ERROR Mrs. Eddy saw that since Ood. the only cr. it or, could not be the author of anything which Is unlike or op posite to his spiritual nature, every thing which seem to express evil Is but an orronaous, falsa state or stags of human consciousness. She knew that matter, hate, sin, sickness. death all evil did not constitute another actual creation, for she ac knowledged one Ood, one wholly good, omnipotent power, Incapable A Lecture On lot creating or aTmportlng evil m any norm. Everyone knows how real, how true a false belief, a lie, a dream. seem to be to the one who I be lieving . or axperienclm it How quickly the dream vanishes when one awakens from sleep. How read ily the truth Is accented when the falsity of a lie 1 exposed. Yet how tangible to tha dreamer are his dream thoughts; bow real they seem. How wholly oblivious ha Is to the world which seems so real to tha one who watches, awake by his side. Mrs. Eddy learned that the world ox tense impressions Is but a dream world In which evil seems to be Just a real a good a dream-world con scious only of Its own false sense of reality, wnicn It calls good and evil, love and hate, life and death, and wholly oblivious of the real world of Ood's creating. Awakening from this dream-world, Mr. Eddy saw that spiritual Ideas are the divine real ities of Ood's universe; that these ideas are wholly good: and that they are tangible and real to the Ood bestowed sense of man, the splrit- u lenses. The fact that matter and material conditions have no more power to affect a man than he allows them to have 1 Illustrated In the experi ence of a Iriend who live in a coast cfly. His story illustrates clearly that every in effect is a men tal paenomcnon, resulting from the human mind's belief relative to ma terial condition, and not from con ditions themselves. This friend was. witn several other men, invited to take a three-day cruise. This was an unusual opportunity and he wished so very much to go that he Immediately accented the Invitation. The one thing that stood In the way of bis anticipated enjoyment was the fear of seasickness.' He had been miserable every time be bad ven tured upon the sea. even In' the calmest weather. The evening be fore they were to go, be was enjoy ing a good dinner when another prospective member ot the nartv dropped in to talk of plana. He men tioned that tbe government weather forecast was for high winds and a rough sea. My friend returned to the dinner table, but was unable to eat another bite; he was in the midst of a case of seasickness. He went to his room, but spent a wretched night The mornina- found him no better. His last-minute re grets were ready to send. Before do ing so, nowever, it occurred to him to' can a Christian Science practi tioner. He explained the situation and asked whether she thought he should go. She laughed, and asked him If It was the roughness of the ocean mat nad produced hi dis tress. When he faced the fact that it was not the ocean that had caused him to spend a night of misery, but nis oeuci in me reality ana power of evil and his fear of It he decided to go on the cruise, and asked for nelp to bold his thought In line with divine Principle. The result was a most profitable and enjoyable expe rience. Aiuiougn we weather be haved Just as had been forecast he wa weu, nappy, and harmonious aU the time. DIVINE LAW The way to the Uncdom of heaven, we have said. Is through de monstrable law unchanging, ever present ever operative, and ever available law. Law operates so quietly and with such unlabored motion that we are prone to over look or doubt Its existence and to remain Ignorant of how to benefit by Its activity. No human being ever originated real law, for true law Is God's law. Men have appropriated and Interpreted this law into gov ernmental statutes, but they have only discovered, or rather partially uncovered, true law ana based then- best laws thereon. Good laws are made to restrain evil and to protect men in their exercise of truth and good. AU such laws are based on the law of God, good, which Mrs. Eddy tells us may be simply yet completely stated as, "I am all" (No and Yes, p. SO). Gods law for Himself is self- existent perfection. His perfect uni verse, including man, is created and maintained by God, through His law of reflection. The perfection of God's creation is not self-existent therefore, but Is originated and maintained through divine law. In Science and Health God's law of Infinite perfection Is shown to op erate m human affairs In Innumer able ways. It operates as a law of right action, as was proved for my seagoing friend; as a law of prog ress, a law of true Inheritance, a law of abundant supply, a law of Justice, of restitution, of harmony, of assimilation, of elimination, of adjustment; a law ot protection, of perpetuity, of Increase, of adhesion. cohesion, ana attraction. I nave enumerated but a few of the Infinite ways In which God's law of perfec tion operates to benefit mankind. A genuine affection lor good puts one in the way of benefiting In all the nurnoses of divine Love. It Is plain that one who loves evil Instead of good, and pursues It will find at length that he has succeeded only In cutting himself oft from his true Inheritance of good. We progress as we learn to have an undivided affec tion for good. If one's desires would not, If fulfilled, ultlmc ' 3 In good; he will appeal in vain to God to fulfill them through His laws of true In heritance or of abundant supply. Really, Ood protects the man who appeals to Him from erroneous hu man suggestions and desires. To be able to say, "Thy will be done," and to feel that whatever may be the will of good for us In the particular circumstances In which we find our selves Is what we most desire, Is to love good, Ood; to have a supreme affection for good. And this Is real Christian Science, and nothing short of It has the ring of reality. DIVINE PROTECTION PROVED that after several years of studying and trying w practice inrisuan DnlMN th. nnahlad. thrniiffh her understanding of the protecting law by which divine Love cares for His children, to noia crime in cnecg .a aav Hor nam II fa Rm htia. m iu w " ... ----- band from childhood had had vlo- older, they became mora severe, un Science til finally he seemed controlled by a deaire to take her life, upon several occasions she had become fearful, had left home, and had remained away two or three days, giving him time to become normal. This tune, however, when he became Infuriated at a trifle, she felt that her under standing of and trust in Ood's pro tection was sufficient to enable her to stand and see the glory of the Lord the triumph ot divine Love over hate. A he rushed, knlf In hand, toward the chair where she was sitting, quietly trying to real ize the presence of protecting Love, the assurance that "the gentle pres ence win save you" came to the Christian Scientist The man laid violent hands on her, but when she yielded gently to his touch and made no physical resistance, his hand opened and the knife dropped to the Hoar, while he seemed hocked Into a deep sense of still ness. The wife continued prepara tion of their dinner. She seemed almost to hear the words: "You have proved error to be nothing. Now carry ft through as noth ing." Bhe called him to dinner. Ha came quietly. She began a pleasant conversation in which he did not Join. Finally he said, "I am a crazy man." She did not reply, blowing that error had been self-seen, and that man has the Mind of Christ This happened more than five years ago, and mere has oeen no repeti tion of the temper spells since that day. PRATER One's affection for good. Ood, must find practical human expres sion. Prayer, watching, and working are three very practical ways of manifesting and Increasing one's love for Ood. Through prayer. watching, and working the Individ ual's thought Is guided Into realiza tion of the ever-presence of har mony, the kingdom ot heaven. In tbe first chapter of Genesis we read. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold. It was very good." God and His universe are complete, perfect, changeless. "De sire," Mrs. Eddy tells us (Science and Health, p. I), "Is prayer. In telligent desire, or prayer, Is based upon a love for good. Righteous prayer, or desire based upon an af fection for good. Ood, must be to understand God's perfect spiritual creation, and not to try to change that which has been. Is now. and ever win be. When the world does grasp the tremendous Import of the fact that God, good. Is the divine Principle of the universe and not a manlike Judge or potentate subject to pas sion and change, there wtU be a great spiritual impetus, a decided change In the world's thought ot what constitutes prayer to God, and the progress ot mankind heaven ward will be marked. The apostle James had tne Cnristlanly scten tific understanding of Ood and of true prayer. He said, "Ye ask, and receive not because ye asg amiss, that ye may consume ft upon your lusts." Mrs. Eddy tells as that "all Sci ence is ot Ood" (Science and Health, p. 551). The practice of the science of mathematics opens many avenues which are helpful in the under standing ot true prayer. We aU know more or less about the prin ciple of mathematics. We understand mat the principle 01 mamematics does not depend upon human recog nition or use. It exists forever inde pendent of the human mind. It had no beeinnlng and can never end. It covers all possible mathematical cal culations from me simplest to tbe most Intricate, Including those as yet unknown except to infinite in telligence. We know that it Is exact, unchanging, always perfect Every one who uses numbers ana wno does not? everyone, if he would be honest exact Just reliable, depend able, loving, and saosnea, must nave a wholesome respect for the principle ot mathematics. He will desire that understanding or consciousness of numbers which the principle of mathematics Includes and will be satisfied with nothing less. The de sire, or may we call It the prayer, of the mathematician is. Not my will, but the win ot principle be done. Imagine an Impatient, self -centered student's desiring or praying, if you please, that the principle ot mathe matics might pardon nis mistake or calling two plus two five; asking It to overlook nis carelessness in mis taking a multiplication sign for a sign of addition; begging It not to penalize him for tailing to see a decimal point; Imploring It to for give his omission or a very simple calculation; and attempting to bribe it by promises of future good con duct to allow him to have the satis faction, Joy, and pride of having ar rived at an answer, which, though differing from the scientifically cor rect one, might be allowed to stand In his Individual case as the correct answer. Having failed In all these attempts, can you Imagine his try tne: to force the principle of mathe matics to give him the correct an swer without his having corrected his mistakes? You can't imagine it No, of course not No student of mathe matics would ever attempt such a thing, no matter how much de pended upon his getting his answer. Why? Because ne imows 11 wouion 1 work! He knows that there is a principle bock of every mathemat ical operation which cannot be de ceived, nor bribed, nor cajoled. It he would solve bis problem, he must respect It and obey It As he pro gresses, his respect grows Into an affection for this living, loving, truthful principle, which blesses alL No more should anyone attempt to flatter, to coax, or to wheedle or to force God Into solving his life problems for him or to putting the stamp of approval on his mistakes. Nor would he, It he understood God to be not only divine Love, but di vine Principle, "with whom Is no variableness, neither shadow of turning," as the Bible teaches. Then Is but one thing for both of these students to do; each must cor rect his mistakes. The student of mathematics will have to go over his work In humble obedience to the laws derived from the principle of mathematics before be can arrive at 1 the correct answer. AU tha changes which win be mad to th solution of his problem will be made fl st In nis own consciousness. He will learn that two and two make four, and one by one he win add to this truth each fact as need for it arises, care fully piling op his sdentlfle truth until the correct answer appears. No different course is possible to ona wno Is trvlns to solve the proo- lems of everyday life: Ha must re pent ro-th ink, which Is the literal meaning of the word.

"The prayer that reforms th sin ner and heals the sick" (Bdenoe and Health, p. 1) scientifically at the prayer of affirmation affirmation of the truths concerning God and man. Ood does answer prayer the prayer that reduces sin and disease to then native nothingness and affirms nnderstandlngly the anness of Ood, good, and His Ideas. So called prayer that entreats God, di vine Principle, to f c-rgrr sins and leaves men free to repeat them would perpetuate sin and make Ood re sponsible for It Oratltude Is an integral part of true prayer. It Is a key which un lock many blessings. Gratitude Is impelled by Justice and honesty. If we are ungrateful, then, we are saw unjust and dishonest We owe many debts of gratitude, and how lightly these debts sit opon us I The world owes -to Mary Baker Edd7 a debt of gratitude for her Immeasurable gift "Science and Health with Key to tne BcrtBtures": gratitude ior lives lengthened and made purer, sweeter, and more useful as a re sult of studying this book. Honesty, Justice, and gratitude are divine qualities, messengers of healing. I once heard toe testimony of a man who said that after reading Science and Health for several months be concluded that Christian Science was all right, logical, rea sonable, provable. He errtertained no such approval for Mrs. Eddy, however; Indeed, he Ignored and sometimes even doubted her. One afternoon he was walking along a country road near his home when he saw a motor ear stalled on the roadside, beside It s woman the pic ture of objection. The woman ac cepted his offer of help gladly, and stood helpless while be lifted the hood, tried this and that and finally, after an hour's work, succeeded In getting the machine to run. Then the woman, who by this time was at the wheel, stepped on the gas ana. without even glancing back, mad off as fast as she could to keep a belated engagement Standing all alone In the roadway, the 1 looked at his dirty hands and at his soiled clothing. Buch Ingratitude not even a "thank you I He could not understand how anyone could and then as if conscience had spoken aloud, be heard, "This Is Just the way you have treated Mary Baker Eddyf" From that day, be has cul tivated a grateful heart One of our familiar hymns reads: O loving Father, wen we know ' That words alone are rain. That those who seek Thy win to do, The true communion gain. Then may our deeds our pure desire For growth in grace express. That we may know how Love Divine Forever waits to bless. (Old Hymnal, No. 191) Affirmations of spiritual truths, unsupported by gratitude, are but as "sounding brass or a tmauing cymbal." How shan we pray? bow waienr How work? True prayer, we have learned. Is the affirmation, the real ization of spiritual truths. Watching means guarding oar mental home, protecting it from the Intrusion ot false beliefs and conclusions. Work means right activity. The highest sense of work is vigilant vigorous, sdentlfle thinking. Working, watch ing, praying, we shall find ourselves drawn by the Irresistible attraction of Spirit into realization ot the pres ence ot Infinite perfection. HEALING The Immediate result of grateful working, watching, and praying is healing moral, mental, and phys ical healing. One of the most strik ing instances ot healing and regen eration that I know of is unfolded in the story of a man whom I am proud to call my friend. At five years of age, nis mother having died, Jim went to sea. He bunked and ate with the crew of hla father's trading vessel Helped by various shipmates, Jim learned to read and write, the limit of his for mal education. At twenty-one. Inured to hardship, wise In the erring ways of men of the sea, he stepped ashore as his tamers ship pulled off. He became a day laborer, a prise fighter, a gambler, a saloon keeper. At thirty, he married a hard-working woman of good character, left the saloon business, and went west. He owned his own launch at a winter resort and took men deep-sea fish ing. After the good dinner mac nis faithful wife always managed to have waiting tor him every evening, he made the rounds or me saloons In his little town, drinking and gam bling until In the small hours of the morning he staggered to the hovel which they called home. Jims wife, longing ror decency and almost hopeless, found Chris tian Science. She spent all her spare time reading Science and Health and the Bible. She began to see the way out She learned to separate In her thinking the man she loved from the Insatiable drinker and gambler. She grasped the fact revealed In Christian Science that good Is su preme over evil. To prove the su premacy ot good, Ood, and to help Jim to prove It was the task she set herself. At dinner one night, after shs had been studying for soma time, aba said, "Jim, I wish yon would come home early tonight; I want to read something to you." Jim had seen tt coming and wa all prepared for It "It you think you're going to read to me from that blankety-blank book of Mrs. Eddy- your Just ." "I wanted to read van aamothfnt frsi me mole, an orou la oalmry. n took him unaware; b bad a uuan back. Th let-down surprised bra Into saying that ho would eem.

Hla evil habit fen from him like worn out garments, ruled out of hUHfe by hla awakened love for good. Thai happened twenty-five years ago. Jim and his wlfa became Chria Uan Scientists. His devoted study of 8denea and Health and the Bible, with th help of a dletaudarj, baa given Jim a liberal education. Ha ha been for many yeau 1 a leapected citizen of bis community, balds ft position of responalbtilty bow th average, and takes a keen Interest an everything for the betterment at Uv lng conditions and tha tmprovement of the moral standing of bis follows.

It Is tbe sicn-soat which gladdens oar hearts that wa are on the right path, th path which leads heavenward. Wa mast baal and as healed. Moses, yoa remember, was esm- manded by wisdom to pot hla into his bosom. He drew it forth "leprous as snow." Again ha pat tt mto his bosom and this ttrna draw it forth normal as the other. Tha) sodden appearance of disease and its Instantaneous healing showed t him that things are net what they eem. wormian ocienc xxuaina that what appear to th nomas mind to be material condition era merely thoughts or- belief objecti fied. It teaches that what w think ot as the material univera Is, attar an, but a mental world, where things are thoughts, and all Is changeable and fleeting. Moses saw that both the normal and tha diseased condi tions of matter were but mental con cepts, which win yield at last to tha reality of a perfect spiritual uni verse, in which man reflecta Ood. Ho saw that matter Is not substaoos, but merely a variable human con cept ot true substance, which Is Bpirtt. Oodr He was assund that tha world which needed salvation so badly would hearken eventually to the "voice of the latter sign," or healing. And It has hearkened to tha voice of healing. A great growing army of Christian warriors la march ing heavenward. It Is made op of those who, burdened with sin and sickness, did hearken to tha voice of spiritual healing, which, aver sum the discovery of Christian "Wr", has been calling, "This Is the way. BUSINESS AND SUPPLY Human beings are accustomed to look upon business and sutral sa things of their own origination and of their own responsibility. Christian Science shows that this mental atti tude Is a pitiable mistake, which is at the bottom of our floundering progress, our fleeting suoceas, and none .to Infrequent losses . and despair. . . -r Christian science leaches that tha only real business Is right activity, the activity ot divine Mind. It shows that Spirit true substance. Is tha only real supply. It avers that tha laws of Ood are Just as available and just as powerful to nroduce results In the realm of business and supply a In religion, ethics, and health. Hu manly speaking, then, good -njstness and substantial supply can be found only by reflecting tha activity and qualities of Ood, Spirit, In obedience to the laws of Love. Speaking of Ood's activity or bad ness, Mrs. Eddy tells us that "divine Love always has met and always win meet every human need" (Sciene and Health, p. 494). Could there b any greater, any mora nobis busi ness? As an Individual reflection ot divine Love, our business, then. Is to meet every human need. Jesus sent his disciples forth to iBJet human needs, saying to them, "Freely y have received, freely give." Jesus knew the divine source from which his dlsdples must draw to meet hu man needs rightly. This business at reflecting the Father's iriexhausttbl supply of strength, of Intelligence, of rove, of right Ideas to those In need I true business. It la your business and my business. AU that Is helpful, eonstructrva, and worth while In the world' busi ness today Is founded upon servlos, the Christian basis of meeting hu man need of reflecting divine Lore to our fellow men.
