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

quickly the dream vanishes when

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

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

witn several other men, invited to

an unusual opportunity and he

The one thing that stood In the way

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

and asked whether she thought he

him If It was the roughness of the

it was not the ocean that had caused
him to spend a night of misery, but

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.

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. He must drop
one by one his false opinions and
viewpoints and make his own the
sdentlfle tacts of being. Piling up
mese (dentine -protests of Truth -(Science
and Health, p. 13), he will
find hbnsetf enjoying the uiesence
of good, his problem solved, and no
trace left of the error which had
seemed so real.
"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.

off as fast as she could to keep a
belated engagement Standing all

and then as if conscience had spoken
aloud, be heard, "This Is Just the
way you have treated Mary Baker

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

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. Whoever Is con
sciously or unconsciously working an
