Mrs. Coot said:
Mv Friends:
Will you let your thought turn
back for a moment to something
which happened a very long time
ago? It seems that once. In a cer
tain village, there lived a man who
had never seen the sunshine nor the
blue skies, nor his mother's face, for
he had been born blind. But one
day It happened that there came
that way a stranger, whose heart
was alwavs reaching out to those
who were distressed, and he and his
little band of followers stopped be.
fore the place where this man was
sitting. Upon seeing the afflicted
one a member of the group Inquired,
"Master, who did sin, this man. or
his parents, that he was born
blind?" Doubtless you all recall the
Incident, as recorded In the Bible,
and know that "the stranger" was
none other than Jesus, the Christ.
And doubtless you recall his reply,
"Neither hath this man sinned, nor
his parents." The great Metaphysl
clan refused to see before him either
a blind man or a sinning man. If
he had, he would not have been
able to heal him. Jesus beheld ever
In consciousness only the perfect
man of God's creating, never blind,
nor sinning, but every whit whole.
The narrative is too long for detail
here, but it is interesting to note
what happened after the healing
was accomplished, and Jesus had
gone on his way. For he left be
hind him a startled little group ot
people, tense and silent, staring In
frightened wonder at the one whom
they had always, until that moment,
known as blind, but who was now
standing quietly among them raptur
ously drinking In the beauty of a
world suddenly turned from darkness
Into light. "Is not this he that sat and
begged?" one ventured to ask. Some
replied. "This Is he." Others, more
skeptical, admitted, "He Is like him."
But he said, "I am he." Still baffled,
they sent for the Pharisees, those
supposedly wiser ones, but they In
turn were equally mystified. So they
questioned the man's parents. Their
reply, however, could not be consid
ered very enlightening, for they
merely said, "We know that this Is
our son, and that he was born
blind: but by what means he now
seeth, we know not ... Be Is of
age; ask him: he shall speak for
himself." So they asked the son,
and he did Indeed "speak for him.

Christ Reals Today

been crying out In its despair, "Oh,

let him lift his head, and .rejoice,
Jesus has long since left the earth
but 'he Christ remains, that imper
sonal, ever-operative, ever-available,
healing Truth, limited to no time,
and to no period. A Christian Sci
ence treatment may be called the
coming of the Christ. It Is Truth,
entering some discordant conscious
ness, to recompense fourfold for
those dark hours before the daylight
came. It Is a process or salvation,
distinctly mental process, a prayer,
high and holy. It Is a spiritual
benediction, blessing both him who
gives and him who takes. It Is
strong, clear, vigorous affirmation of
the Allness of God, and of the un
touched perfection of man In His
Image and likeness; a refusal to be
lieve what is not true and God
bestowed; an utter repudiation, as
causelec:, baseless, and spurious, of
any evidence which would try to
present man in any way but as God
made mm joyous, siniess, siauuess,
free. It admits the existence of but
one power, one presence, one cause,
one effect, one law, one Mind, and
all these wholly good. It replaces
beliefs with spiritual Ideas, pure and
perfect. It maintains that the sup
posititious opposite oi ims real man,
calling Itself "a mortal" Is but a
false sense of man, the result of the
deep sleep which fell upon Adam
In the Scriptural allegory, wherein
he saw the creations of his own
dreams, and called them by such
names as nniteness, limitation, be
ginning and ending, birth and
death, sin, sickness, sorrow, sensu.
ality, pain, poverty, fear, death. A
Christian Science treatment proves,
or demonstrates, that all this, and
much more, are but phases of be.
lief, without any real substance or
foundation. It might be termed a
process of awakening. And it need
n t be prolonged or difficult. No
matter how long one may have
been In a bad dream, the Instant
he awakes, he Is free.
The metaphysical healing of phys
ical disease has come to be accepted
by most persons as an accomplished
fact, since for nearly seventy years
now It has been practiced among us
through the understanding which
Christian Science furnishes of the
onbroken relationship between God
and man. Those who have not per
sonally felt Its beneficence usually
know of someone, or of many, who
are standing as living witnesses of
that same divine power which Jesus
understood and utilized. But history
repeats Itself. When some remark
able recovery takes place through
Christian Science, friends and ac
quaintances often express the same
Incredulity which was so apparent
In that healing two thousand years
ago of the man born blind. While,
as In his case, they cannot deny the
healing, the comment Is sometimes
made, "He would probably have got
ten well anyway." Or, "The doctor
was evidently mistaken In his diag- .
There Is some danger of trans
mission ot Hang's disease to hu
mans' 90 persons having contact
ed It In the atnto last year. In
humans, who get It through milk
from diseased cows, It Is culled

nosls." Or, that very familiar one,
"Well, he couldn't have been so sick
as he thought he wasl" With the
latter remark we will agree, for a
Christian Science treatment always
starts from that verv basts. Only It
goes still farther. It says that tho
patient not only was "not so sick as
he thought he was," but that he
was not. In reality, sick at all I It
refuses to accept the patient's bo
ner in nts own lnharmony. jusi De-
cause one "believes" something to
be true, that does not necessarily
make it so. When a college profes
sor, mentally unbalanced, once be
lieved himself to be a turnip, that
did not make him one. His friends
all agreed that he was the victim
ot hallucination only. And the
Christian Science practitioner who
was called upon to help htm proven
their opinion to be true, and re
stored him to his right mind
through an understanding of his
true status and Identity as a child
or God. untouched by human uiu.
slons. But if that same college pro.
fessor had believed himself to be,
not a turnip, but for Instance, a
consumptive, would his friends so
quickly have agreed that he was the
victim of hallucination only? I
think not. Yet Christian 8clence
teaches that one belief Is no more
real than the other, and that both
are corrected through the same
mental process.
The Christian Science Textbook
Every vain misrepresentation of
the carnal mind, so-called, must go
down before the unanswerable argu
ment ot one who. after perhaps a
lifetime of helpless servitude to some
false god, now stands among his
fellows a free man. No flowery elo
quence Is needed to convince any
one of his healing. He has only to
say, as did that man of long ago,
"I am he." And he has this advan
tage over that other he knows how
It was done. For It Is no mystery,
no hidden, occult, secret process,
revealed only to a favored few.
Gladly and freely did Jesus explain
It to any, and to all, who would lis
ten. I have sometimes wondered If
there were a school, a university
of learning, where these truths could
again be taught In all their origi
nal purity, would not the whole
world be flocking to Its doors? It
one knew of a place where the deep
things ot God would be made so
clear, so simple, so logical, so win
ning that the one receiving such In
struction would not only find his
own life made richer and more
abundant, but that he could go
forth to bring that same richness
and abundance to others, as did
Jesus, would he not be ready to sell
all that he hath If necessary, to en
ter that university? There Is none
such, as we know. But there Is
book, easily available to all, wherein
these same principles are fully clu.
cidated, our textbook, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures'
by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer
and Founder of Christian Science
and Its only Leader. And one Is not
required to sell all that he hath to
possess this book, and to receive the
benefit of Its Instruction. All he
needs to "sell," or to "dispose of," Is
his prejudice, his pride, his lifelong
theories and human opinions, and to
give this book his fair, honest, and
unbiased attention. If he Is already
an earnest Bible student he may
find much within Its pages which he
has always believed, since our re
ligion Is founded upon the Bible,
the only book which Mrs. Eddy used
as a textbook In writing hers. We
differ, however, from other religions
In that we maintain that the heal
ing factor must once more be re
stored to Christianity. Many signs
and wonders are being wrought to
day by those who are demonstrat
ing, or proving, the ever-presence
of the Christ. I know personally of a
young man whose X-ray photograph
showed an Internal growth so sit
uated that delay was deemed dan.
gerous, and he was hurried to a
hospital for an operation. He was
not a Christian scientist, out his
brother was, and to this brother In
another city the mother Immedi
ately sent word: "He says, pray for
him. Do what you can." The sick
man was In the Middle West, the
brother In New York, but all that
night across the continent sped such
clear, strong declarations ot Truth
that in the morning, when the sur
geons started to operate, the growth
could not be found. They searched,
and probed, but It was gone. How
they explained It. I do not Know.
only know that he Is a well man
today, attending to his business
affairs as usual.
No Criticism for Others
Christian Science has no criticism
for the splendid men and women of
the medical profession who are
helping suffering humanity In the
only way they know. We respect
them lor their tireless efforts, and
I believe that we are all growing
closer togetner in tnis noiy ton. An
Instance of this mr.y be seen In some
observations which were made re
cently before the American Acad
emy of Optometry In Its fifteenth
annual meeting in Chicago, The
case waa mentioned of a young girl
whose vision was blurred at times,
although a thorough physical exam
ination had failed to locate any
trouble. It was found, however, that
the girl had taken a bitter dislike
to someone who came often to her
home, but whose presence she was
not In a position to prevent To use
her exact words, "I hate to see
him." The optometrist expressed
the opinion that this powerful ha
tred was causing her vision to fall.
To quote his exact words: "Once
she was brought to understand the
meaning of her 'disease,' she was
enabled to adjust herself Intelli
gently to the situation. Within a very
short time afterward, her symptoms
vanished."
Hate I If hate can do that to the
human eye, why not to the human
ear as well, or the throat, or the
lungs, or the heart, or to anything
else? If "adjusting herself Intelli
gently to the situation," or In other
words, thinking differently about It,
could relieve the eye, why could
not some other oppressed portion of
the body be relieved In exactly the
same manner by thinking differ
ently? If materia medlca admits, as
In this case, that thought affects
some parts of body, why not others?
Why not all? Christian Science ssyi ,

like Paul, she was "not disobedient

she then know that its branches
would one day extend to all parti of

the lapping of the waves, did they
ever seem to prefigure the ceaseless
hum of busy printing presses, which
would some day be preparing her
glad tidings for distribution among
all nations? Did uplifted spiritual
sense foresee the quiet Reading
Rooms, to which tired humanity
would turn for rest and refresh
ment, "without money and without
price"? And the Sunday schools,
where the little ones would be
taught those "simple verities," which
she says, "will make them happy

Readers In the churches, privileged

largely depends"? (Manual, Art III,
Sect 1.) And the midweek meet

who had come out or great tribula

give glad and grateful testimony of

extent these things, and others, un
folded to that pure consciousness, as
she sat alone there, day after day,
listening to God. We shall never
know. Whenever I think ot It, I can
seem only to find the answer In a
statement which she so perfectly
exemplified all through her life,
from her own book, "Miscellaneous
Writings" (p. 158), "Let us be faith

rear, as most of us know to our lor
row, Is tho haunting, dark dream
shadow which seems ever to pursue
mortals In their struggle toward tho

age, fear of failure, fear of ridicule,
fear of losing something, fear of

fears, It can truly say. as did Isaiah
of old, "O Lord our God, other lords
beside thee have had dominion over

God-given dominion may delay one's

wen and happy. But what of sin
Are we to Infer that tho greatest
sufferer must necessarily be tho
greatest sinner? That would be
cruel and unjust, and Christian Scl
ence makes no such sweeping asser
tlon. Wo all doubtless know of soma
case of chronic Invalidism where
tho dear sufferer Is a marvel of pa
tience and resignation, lovely and
lovable, nn almost unparalleled ex
ample of human goodness. But hu
man goodness Is not enough. Beau
tlful and desirable as It may be,
and a human quality for which all
should strive, that alone does not
heal. What this sad world needs Is
not "resignation." but a knowledgo
of God's eternal laws, a realization
that they are ageless, changeless, ac
live, dynamic, Indestructible, un
assailable, unalterable, and univer
sally applicable to everything In tho
universe, from the flower by tho
roadside to the lost, lono star.
God
In order to conquer fear, Igno
ranee, or sin. It Is essential to get a
clear understanding of our Father
Mother God as the ono creator of
all that really Is. Christian Sclcnco
has many names for Deity. It de
fines God as Principle, the supreme
basic foundation upon which all en
suing conclusions rest; that which
eliminates all mistakes, Just aa does
the principle of mathematics. One
cannot "forgive" a mistake In
mathematics. Neither does the Prln
ciple, which is God, "forgive" any
thing unlike Itself. It utterly oblit
erates It, and when this Is done,
there Is no mistake left to be for
given. Our textbook defines God as
Mind, one and Indivisible, whose
ever-presenco Is tho complete de.

Interests, of a "thine" and a "mine,

comfort, to smooth the friction ot

strengthening, Invigorating, giving
new wings to Impulse and endeavor.
And God Is Life, supersensible, har
monious, eternal, without beginning
and without end. God Is Truth, ex
act, unswerving, Inexorable, Incapa
ble of change, chance, or deviation,
straight as the lino and the plum
met. And God Is Love, shining
through every mist of doubt and
fear, enfolding man, tho beloved son,
In a tender surety which only those
can understand who have felt Its
never-falling beneficence.
Love
Mrs. Eddy has written much about
love, not only as God, but as that
quality which Is the pure and per
fect reflection of the divine, and she
must have realized that what tho
world calls "love" sometimes falls
far short of that. In fact she says,
plainly (Miscellaneous Writings,
zso), no word is more miscon
strued; no sentiment less under
stood." The Love which la God
stands alone, untouched by selfish
desire, pure, perfect, Inviolate, the
most stupendous word In all the
world. But that human emotion
which Is sometimes called love may
be as far from the reflected quality
of the divine as darkness Is from
daylight. Unlike the divine, human
love Is susceptible to change. It Is
erratic, Inconstant, Inconsistent,
sometimes turning with incredible
swiftness Into hatred and revenge.
It Is often only selfishness In dis
guise, accepting someone's devotion
as Just anotner nattering tribute to
Its own vanity. Real love. Imper
sonal, Impartial, universal, Is In no
way connected with that fulsome
quality of honeyed sweetness which
Is so distasteful to the average per
son. Love Is a strong word, a clear
word, a clean word, a sturdy word,
which can buffet the storm, and
come through unspent. It sparkles.
It does not cloy. Mrs. Eddy says
(Miscellaneous Writings, p. 2S0): "I
make strong demands on love, call
for active witnesses to prove It, and
noble sacrifices and grand achieve
ments as Its results. Unless these
appear, I cast aside the word as a
sham and counterfeit, having no
ring of the true metal." It was
this sort of love which enabled Mrs.
Eddy to leave the quiet shelter of
her home, and to step Into the glare
of public life; to face courageously

At this particular moment some
of us may, perhaps, bo feeling that
t .la sea of adversity seems particu
larly temiwst-toasrd when It comes
to tho question of financial difficulty.
It Is needless to explain why. Wo all
knew the reason, so let us proceed
at onco to find out how one so be
lieving Is lo bring his little bark
to land through tills storm of popu
lar unrest, to rldo tho waves, safely
and surely. What can we. u In
dividuals, do about It? Wo can
do this; wo can refuse to rive our
consent to It. And this comes first
of all. Mrs. Eddy has written t Mis
cellaneous Writings, p. 2M): "Float
lng with tho popular current of
mortal thought without questioning
tho reliability of Its conclusions, wo
do what others do, believe what oth
ers believe, and say what others say.
Common consent Is contagious, and
It makes disease catching." This
does not necessarily refer to physical
disease only. The word "disease"
means simply a lack of ease, lack of
quietness, of confidence, peace, and
assurance. Let us refuso to "con
sent" to world conditions as true.
Let us refuse to add our mental
quota to the weight of universal

Rock, and watch the rising and (ail
ing of the tides, onco wroto (Mis
cellaneous Writings, p. 384):
"Tho seasons come and go:
I.ovc, like the sea,
Rolls on with thee.
But knows no ebb and flow."
"With thee" not against thee! The
Love which Is God knows "no ebb
nd fiow." no fluctuations, no
changing moods, no variableness nor
shadow of turning. In reality, each
on-coming wave brings us but a lit
tie nearer to tho understanding of
Mind's Infallible laws, which govern
tho universe u certainly today as
they did when our Master, by ullliz
lng them, quelled that other storm
of long ago with tho well-known
"Peace, be still." Our textbook says
(p. 00), scienco Inevitably lilts
one's being higher In tho scale of
harmony and happiness." "Higher"
and "Inevitably" higher. What a
glorious thought for some discour
aged mortal, who moy, iwrhaps, bo
feeling mat no has failed In his life
purpose, that In spite of his best
efforts his general situation Is stead
ily growing worso Instead of better.
How It will rest him to realize that
success la "Inevitable" when ho onco
places himself and his affairs unre
servedly In the caro of God I And
why Is this sure and "Inevitable"?
Because by so doing he thereby allies
himself with the only power there.
and becomes automatically at.
ono with a spiritual law which will
operate In his behalf with moro cer
talnty than does the so-called law
which brings the sun each morn
ing to a world asleep. At this point,
however, someone may be thinking,
"But just wnat aces it mean to
place oneself and his affairs In
the care of Ood? I should like
to do that, but I don't know
how." It Is a mental process, not
complicated, not difficult. It only
means that ono shall deliberately,
sincerely, and consciously bring all
tho mlnutlao of his business affairs
Into absolute accord with Principle.
And this Includes his personal af
fairs, and his personal conduct as
well, for since one's business Is but
the outward and visible expression
ot his thinking, he cannot expect It
to succeed If there is still something
In his mental home which needs
correcting. Principle Is exact and
Imperative. It sometimes may make
quite unforeseen and disconcerting
demands upon those who would ally
themselves with It, who would gladly
receive Its benefits, and yet who may
seem not Immediately willing to
make what they call the "sacrifices"
which will really bring them Into
:cordancs with It But It must be
done. Talking the truth Is not
enough. Words are sometimes but
empty platitudes. Jesus once stated,
"Not every one that salth unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter Into tho king
dom of heaven; but he that docth
the will of my Father which Is In
heaven.'
The Way
Dear friends, I am wondering If
at this point you are waiting to
hear some deep metaphysical state
ment, which you believe will In
stantly clarify your entire business
situation. If so, you may be dis
appointed, for It Is from this pre
cious book, Bclonce and Health, that
you should get your metaphysics,
and not from me. The best that I
might say hu already been said a
thousand times better by Mrs. Eddy,
My exact phraseology might bo for
gotten by the time you reacn the
front door, but In her book you have
everything you need, In all Its crys
tal clearness, to read over and over,
to study, to ponder. So what I am
going to do Is this: I am going to
tell you In the simplest words at
my command what hu always
helped me most In times of stress.
am going to give you an idea, ono
Idea, for you to put Into your own
words after you got homo. For by
so doing you will provo that you
ave really made it your own that
you have mentally assimilated Its
true substance, and that It Is un
folding and developing In each In
dividual consciousness, not as a mat
ter of rhetoric, but of realization.
am doing this because I know that
the same Ood that helped me will
help you also, and make your relcaso

when everything seems to be going

1 have always found, sooner or later,
that whenever my domonstratloa
seemed very long In coming, It wu
Invariably because of my failure tt
do this very thing to trust God
moro. I would find that I trusted
Mini a little, but not enough; that I
trusted lllni sumo of the. way, but
not all of Uio way; that I wanted
ills will to bo done most of the time,
but not all of the time especially
when It Interfered with mine I I
could not always seem to get a big
enough sense of Die over-presence,
the "Incvltablcnras" of Ood, filling
all space, and leaving not a pin
point of matter In the whole
universe.
Once, I remember, after an un
usually difficult day, I stood at my
window looking out at the stars-,
millions and millions of them; and
beyond those, millions and millions
more, discernible only by telescople
vision; and beyond those, again,
that Incredible, humanly Incompre
hensible thing called "stellar space."
And yet, in n t Itnt Immensity, from
beyond the lost siieck of star-dust
to tho very placo where I wu stand
ing was only God. And I saw that,
u Individual man. I wu Included In
this viut. limitless abundance of
good: upheld, guarded, forever se
cure and Immune from harm by
reason of my Identification with
this Infinitude of good. I saw that I
' surrounded by It, encompassed
by It on evory side, enfolded In It
as tenderly u some little child I
enfolded 111 Its mother's arms.
As I pondered this, alone In tha
tlarknrM, pence liko a river de
scended upon my troubled soul, and
I rested for tho first tlmo In many
days. It was u If I stood among
tha snowy fastnesses of some great
mountain, remote and still, utterly
aloof from the rarth-nolscs In (he
vtilley below, the turmoil and con
flict of poor struggling humanity,
crowding, pushing, loving, hating,
working, playing, treadlna each
other down In the fierce demand to
know "who shall bo greatest?" The
echoes of It, tho memory of It, the
ordldness of It, began to fade, and
fade, and for a few holy moments
1 seemed to see, as from some
mount of transfiguration, all mists
of error disappear In the white light
or ills eternal presence. I seemed
suddenly In understand that noth
ing was real nnd true but the right
And 1 taw how utterly futile were
onv efforts which did not havo Prin
ciple back of them, to give thrm
life and substance. I saw that te
succeed I must be willing to say,
from my very heart of hearts: "Dear
Father, I am so tired of my way, so
tired and weary trying to mako It
work. And It never does. Show me
tho better way, dear Lord, Thy way.
I am ready now to follow wherever
It may lead."
Truo Identification
In her book "Unity of Oood" Mrs.
Edtly has wrltten tp. 64), "Mortals
may climb tho smooth glaciers, leap
tho durk fissures, scale the treach
erous Ice, nnd stand on tho summit
of Mnnt Blanc; but they can never
turn back what Deity knoweth, nor
ef cape from Identification with what
dwelleth In tho eternal Mind." What
Deity knoweth can bo only good, for
Deity knoweth naught else, only
good for ills children, and this good,
with which man Is over Identified, Is
available, here and now. Man can
not "escape" Identification with it,
by right of his unbroken relation
ship with tho ono Mind, wherein
Joy Is spiritual so cannot be turned
Into sorrow, where success Is nor
mal and natural, where there are
no failures, no disappointments, no
disillusionment, no partings, no
pain, but all Is well. As we return
to our homes, shall we not quietly
ponder these things, and tomorrow
approach our problem, whatever It
may seem to be, with renewed cour
ago to master It, Instead of letting
It master us? Shall we not trust Ood
more, knowing that His holy pur
poses are even now unfolding In bo
half of those who do this, like the
petals of some lovely flower? We
may not, at the moment, always see
these purposes fully, but wo can al
ways nsk. In all humility, that He
will show us plainly all that we
need to know, In order to do all that
wo need to do, to complete our dem
onstration. Perhaps a prayer like
that, given In all sincerity, may
bring to light many things not yel
realized u obstacles in tho way.
Perhaps wo may find, In some cases,
that what is keeping back the an
swer for which wo long, is just our
own lack of moral courage Porhaps
something needs to be done which
we are afraid to do, something
which over looms before us like
some Impenetrable wall, blocking all
progress, ii so, let us try looklna
out upon a night full of stars, and
watch our fears melt away before
the boundless immensity of that
Love which Is the only power, and
with which man Is eternally and In
evitably Identified. Afraid? Whoa
this Is here, and Is ours?
