What I bay aald la not only

In a uiual practical way. Whun
the grout trutha nf i'hilatlau

Kddy, aha did not ul once give

J.at ua sue bow thla great truth
ran ha utilised In a innal help
ful way. There la nothing, per
haps, lu which mortala are morn
lutprpatrd than tho subject nf
heulth. Tho vast amount ot time
and money spent In trying to
gain It and maintain It shows
how blirhly It la prlted. That
health la eometliupa thought to
be lh exception rather than the
nil la self-evident from the fact
that a very largo percunlage of
dlaeaaea, trrordlng to human
theories, are aaia to ne lucuianie.
lu theao caaea material eyatema
claim Ihat health cannot be had
under any rondltlona. Now, It la
coming lo bo conceded more and
tiinro that back of every raae uf
Ill-health la a certain amount of
fear. And In every inatance you
will find that at the bottom of
one fear Is a belief that eoine
thlng can ileatroy. Impair, or laka
away Ilia. I'brlallaii Science, how
ever, ahowa that tlod. la man'a

llngulahed. When theae great
facia are aclenllflrally llllderatood
and declared, the tension of fear
begltia In relax, faith lu iod lli

and permanently healed. There
are Innumerable raaea on record

If Christian Science bad dune
lathing mora than to give ua an
underataiidlng uf find aa Truth,
the world would atlll ha Ita ever
lasting debtor. Thla aclontlflu uu
dpratiindlug haa changed the
thinking of tho adhrreuta of
Chrlallan Rclence. nnd na It he
cnnipa inor generally aecepted H
will uplift and redeem l ho think
ing or the entire world, find he
I ri e Infinite Truth. He can only
insnlteit lllmaelf In that which
la trlithlul. light, aud good. That
which He knowa la eternally real
lipcituau It la eternally true. He
knowa nothing that la untrue,
nnd nothing that la iintruo cull
ha known by Him or can bo part
of divine conarloualieaa. Th flrat
chapter of tloneala lteriitia and
relieralea the fart that Uod aaw
Hie work of Ilia hands that It
was good, and finally declares
Hint Hp "aaw every thltiK that
he had mado, and. behold, it was
very good." Now, seeing la In
cluded In knowing, and thla atate
ment of Holy Writ la equivalent
to saying that all that flod knew
about 111a urcatiou was good.
And so it will alwaya b. tlod
being Truth. He could not se
anything know an thing - that
waa utitrtithfiil or unrlfihteoua.
All things material or mortal
will sometime ceaae to aeem to
pxlt. that Is. wili become un
known, nnd "the placea ouc
knowing them will know theui
no more forever" ( Miscellaneous
Writings, p. "!). If (Iod could
for one moment know anything
material, mortal, or finite, then
w-n ahould bo forced to tho con
clusion that aometitno Ilo would
ceuao lo know that which once
Ho had known. If error could for
one moment bo real, then tiod
would to thut extent ho deprived
of Ilia knowledgo of reality. Tint
Ihla t-uu never happen, tiod will
always know Hint which la nver
laatlngly real and true, for "to
Truth Hipi-o ia no error. till Is
Truth" nnd "to Infinite Spirit
Ihprn Is no matter, all la Spirit,
tllrltiH i'rlnclplii nnd Ita Idea"
(Science nut' Health, p. ITS).

JKSUS" HKAt.l.N'd METHOD
Why wns our groat Master,
Chrlat Jesus, tha most eitccesafttl
healer, teacher and reformer
that lit world has ever known?
Itivutiao he always thought,
taught, aud saw tho positive,
constructive fact and not tha nsg-,
ailv opposite. If a sinner cam
lo him, ha did uol constantly
sc. and talk about a slnusr. He
saw Uod a child aud th poaltlv
fail about bliu. bla goodness,
purity, and pilcllou, -and th
sluner was roformad. II alwaya
cotidpniupd lha siu, but b loved
maukluil whom he ram to save
from aln. deferring to a man
blind from bis birth, th dlarlple
naked Jealla who bad alnned,
Ihla man nr bit paranta. In other
words, What has brought about
Oil aeemlugly real condition,
they aald, for her It Is. Jesus
answered substantially, Neither
bus thla man aluncd. nor bit par
ents: hut he exlata that tho works
of (lod ahould ha made manifest
III him. that he should mani
fest good, aplrllual, sight and all
other Hodllk facultlea. And as
a result tho man was IiuoIpiI. At
another time Joans was railed to
best Jalrni daughter. When he
arrived, the child had apparently
passed on, but thla did not dotar
the Maater from rnmplollng his
work. He put out all those that
wore entertaining any negative
duuhls or falthleaa thoughta, aud
Ihruugh hla pnaltlvo. ronatrucllr
thought ot life, tha gill was
restored.
Mra. Kddy declares (sklsnce
and Health, p. Iti) that "Chrlat
la the trua Idea voicing good,
the divine meaaago from (Iod to
m,u spuakiug tu th human rou
aclousuess." This true Idea enisu
ataai trum God and alwaya ex
preaaavi Him. It tella us ot Ood a
goodness, power, aud love, aud
l eves Is to us a clearer vision of
terntl and abiding reality. This
vlalon of lha Christ necessarily
diapelt the illusions ut mortal be
lief and brums to human view
that which In reality la always
at hand Uud aad Ills perfect
creation.
ItlUHT THINKING IIKALB
We know that we cannot have
two contrary facta about the
same thing at the as me time.
The earth canuot he both round
and Hat. It Is either on or the
olbir. When th right idea comes
tntai ronscioucneea, the wroug
concept must disappear. A wronw
belief baa aeeming power only at
long aa It la believed to be actual.
Let ua suppose that one has ac
cepted a counterfeit bill. To all
appearances the hill la genuine;
and ao long as It Is accepted as
such It seems to have the aaui
value as a genuine hilt. Hut once
let Its llctltious nature be ex
poaed. and It la seen to be utterly
worthless. 1m seeming value and
power were only a delusion. Now.
what gives lh gtniilno bill
value? It baa no more paper. Ink,
et cetera. In It than the counter
felt. Indeed. It may have leas.
The genuine bill derives Its
worth from the fact that there
haa been deposited in Washing
ton or elsewhere a certain
amount of gold or sliver, or of
other securities, which tho bill
only represents and which gives
It lla Intrinsic value and true
worth. In other Instances, other
valuubla, securities have been de
posited. In othpr words, tho re-Miiir.-oa,
authority, and luwa of
nnr Government are behind It.
Helilnd tho coutiterfplt there are
no resources, law, or government.
No government authorised Ita is
suance: it seems tn have come
Into biing enntrury to law nud
authority. When ita haseles-oipss
and luwiossness are ouco seen,
aw-av goes all its seeming reality.
tiOli IS KVKH PKBSKNT LOVK
(lod Is the only source of reali
ty, und everything that has true
lieing must express and represent
lllin. Cod Is Inlinlto, unchanging,
and ever present Love, and th
only uulvurso there la la the lint
veiao of l.ove. Anything unlovely,
allscordant, or inharmonious rsn
not and does not exist In thnt
universe. Anything unlovely can
not hava the slightest reality, for
It has no authority, law, or gov
eminent behind It. God's universe
la a creation of perfect Idrsa, of
beauty and lovelinesa. Ood's
hliwia are harmless. There is
nothing frictions), harmful, nr
destructive in God's kingdom.
God's kingdom Is a wholly splr
Itnsl one, und Hla creation must
live and mov and havo its be
ing In Him.
Scholastic theologv has taught
(hut Ood waa somewhere, inside
Ills unlverso nnd that aometlme
we would approach Him and he
near Him. Christian Science
ahowa lis that we are In God't
kingdom tho realm of reality
now, nud that wo cannot b sep
arated from Ills ever-presonco.
God has never erected any bar
rlera between Himself and Ills
creation. Onlv a fulso. material
sense of reality hna dono this,
and ill tho proportion thut wc
understand reality ns It actually
la, spiritual and good, any seem
ing separation from God will
vanish,
TltTR STANDPOINTS
Mrs. Kddy tells us on page 32!
of Science and Health, "When
li n Iithio ml ItiK changes the stand
points of life and Intelligence
from a material to n siiiiittinl
basis, we shall gain the reality
of Life." Aa we change our
standpoints from false thinking
nnd unreal beliefs nf aln. disease,
nud death, which do not and can
not exist in the unlverso ot
Love's creating, to spiritual
thinking nnd true concerpts of
health, holiness, and life, teem
ing discordant conditions vanish
from our experience. In the last
few yenra the art of mup-mnklllK
has been materially changed
through tho use of the airplane.
It is now potVaiblo to inn It p a
mnp-snrvey of a state In n few
ilnvs which formerly took ypnrt.
Whv? HerniiHO trom the vantage
point of tho higher view, afford
ed by lha airplane, things may
,1 nw he aepn from a larger and
broader viewpoint than thejn
could he from the earth.
Christian Science ahowa ns
how to rise above the restricted
viewpoint of limited, matorla
vision and see creation a God
sees It lovely and good. A mtr
ago ran only deceive one ao long
aa ho remains on a level with It.
Aa soon na ho ascends a neigh
boring hill the Illusion disap
pears. And ao a we ascend the
hill of purified thinking and tplr-.
ituullted consciousness, the Illu
sions of sensn no longer blind us
lo the eternal realities ot Truth
and Love.
GKATITUPK
Perhaps nothing lifts us to
greater heights, and to clarinet
our vision of reality, than grat
itude. No lunger do w plead;
Willi (lod to do something fur
u and then thank him , If llo
grams our request; but we strive
euustaully to pruls lllin "for his
gouduesa, and for bis wonderful
worka lo th children of men."
We ihank Him not ao much for
what we waul, but lor what Ho
Is. The Clirlatlan Sciential endeav
ors lo pruy without vuasing. The
prayer of gratitude la constantly
In hla heart for God's Infinite
manifestation! of Luv inau and
the unlrursc.
Our larg holela hava a differ
ent key for each ruom, but they
alao bav a master-key that un
locks all th riMiius. The master
key that unlocks every room in
the slorehouso of good It grutl
tude. Many a case of delayed
healing, many a case ot seeming
lack, uiuny a case of obdurulo
aln, bua been ovurcoinu when
mora of gratitude to Uod baa
com into cotvaclouaneaa. It bus
been said that fear never fill
Iowa a song; and when lh heart
la full of gratitude and praise lo
(lod, fear and worry toon fall
behind aa one Journey along the
roud of contentment and peace.
GOOD lMVHRKAL
Aa aratltude ahldea mora and
mure iu thought w find our path
leading Into a universal aense of
thluga and away from that which
la saltish, finite, and limited,
iirs. Kddy says, on page 2tjG of
Science and ilealb. that "uni
versal Lov la thn dlvlna way In
Christian Science." Aud ao aa w
kuep thought In line with divine
reality we are contributing to
tha universal good aa well s to
our own. It ono accepts a count
erfeit bill and passes It on to
someone else, that one In turn
may paaa It on to another, and
thua many may be deceived by
It. But If one la alert, delects
the counterfeit, puts It out of
circulation, then ita power to de
ceive is at an end. If each one
to whom comes any spurlou cur
rency were to dete-t It and put
It out of circulation. It would
only be a short while before there
would be no counterfeit money
circulating. Aa we refuse to ac
cept fnlse. erroneous beliefs, we
find ourselves on tho a-nnstrue-tlv
side of thinking, the posi
tive side, and helping In a most
practical way to bring the king
dom of heaven on earth.
JOY
lie who has rained this vlainn
of spiritual reality hus found the
true sonrc of Joy. not the emo
tional aenae of Joy that for so
long has been associated with
certain aspecta of religion, but
th true Joy that cornea from an
abiding rnnaelouanesa thut good
alone la real und true. Thu Illhle
ssyi that "the Joy of tho Lord
la your strength;" and be who
haa diacerned something of the
Infinite love and goodness ot
(lot! rejoices In the eternal veri
ties ot being. Many material ays
terns of healliig recognise the
value aif cheerfulness in bringing
relief trom discordant conditions,
but all except Christian Science
full short of that dlvlno iinder
atandine of prnaent and ultimate
reality which ulnno bringa peace
and Joy. A blind optimism Is far
removed from the aplritunl un
der etundlng of God'a na-arness
and alluess thst brings full meas
ure of Joy. The lllbl mys that
"the Lord shall rejoice In hla
works." and we ran never full to
rejoice when we see God's crea
tion as It really ia, spiritual and
good. Does the first chapter of
Genesis ever bring any gloom to
th reader? No; because there
everything Is described as good.
It Is the true account ot creation,
positive and constructive. It men
tions no difease. accidents, pover
tv. death, discord, or inharmonv
of any kind, hut all la thn work
of God and all Is good. A lesson
may he learned from the little
Christian Science girl who refus
ed to bo robbed of her Joy aud
to be disturbed when someone
told her that her playmate waa
sick. "Yes." sho was told. "Hi
doctor saya that she Is verv ill."
Th little girl replied, "Why. she
couldn't he eick, for sickness is
uot mentioned In the first chapter
of Genesis ' If wo only accepted
as rial the very good things ot
God's fronting, ss spt forth In
tha first chapter ot Genesis and
III the flint five verses of the
second, what Joy would ho ours!
AKKLVKXCB OF GOOD
A- acleiitifle understanding ot
this , good creation of Uod. as
given to ii in the first chapter
of Genesis, would completely
overcome nny aeeming belief of
lack. Hid you ever think of this
truo account of creation as be
ing perhaps tho greatest work on
eeononilca that ever was written?
In It we read nothing about lack,
stagnation, inert In , 0r unemplov
nutnt. There creation is described
ns very good. Truo being, aa un
expression of God, is constantly
heating witness to the Infinitude
of good. We are Ood's witnesses,
nnd how- can man, tho beloved
of thn Father, the very expression
nf Ills being, do nnvlhliiir else
but benr witness to Hint Infinity
of good which ia tho Hole fact ot
being? The Infinity of good Is
here to ho reflected, and God
never withholds any opportunity
to manifest this infinite good.
The ideas of God ore always hero
to he reflected, and we pan never
lack tho wya and means of ex
pressing thorn at all times and
under nil rondltlona.
DIVINK IDKALISM
Oh, what a Joy it Is to keep
these positive, upbuilding. and

beautifully the poet has ex

"Chisel In hand stood a sculptor
boy. With hla marble block before
him:
And his fare lit up with a smile
of Joy
As an angel dream passed o'er
him.
He rarvod fhe dream on that

With many a sharp fnrlalon.
Wllh heaven's own light the

Our textbook tells ua, on page sen,
Ihat "Truth, Life, and Love are
eubstance." Such recognition of
true substance and reality will
do more to quail strife, eliminate
friction, and end war than all
human efforts combined. Not that
we would disparage any righteous
effort to do away with human
conflict, but auy human diffi
culty run be permanently over
come only by removing the root
cause. The root cause of all ba
nian strife la the belief that real
liy la material, that there are
mind many, that man la mater
ial, and that bla life la depend
ent on material possessions.
Mortal man believes that sub
stance Is material, limited, finite,
und restricted; that at timet
tin-re la not enough to go around,
und that the ouly way that hu
can get enough la to tak aome
away from aomeone lae. This
kind of thinking U Inevitably ac
companied by such erroneous be
liefs aa envy. Jealousy, greed, and
the like, and leads lo conflict

Silence? It deelarea that God la

verse consists of that which x-
prensa-s 111m. right Ideas, pure and

abundant, adequate, and Infinite:
that thi-y bless each one aud

declared on pug 13 of Science

and universal in ita aduptatlon
and bestowals," ao that one Idea
cannot possibly crowd, Justlc, or
deprive another Idea of anything
that ia rood. Wheu this great
fart ia grasped, war, poverty, and
strife will vanish from the luce
of the earth, and peace, glorious
peace, will reign.

MAN IS VHOLLY HPIIUTUAL
This Inevitably leads tit to an
other great truth with which
Christian Science bier-sea us, and
that ia that the real man the
man of God'a creatiug ia wholly
spiritual. Mortals have been
taught to believe that man will
eventually become wholly aplrll
ual but that now he la material,
or both material and spiritual.
Now what la real and true al
ways baa been true and alwaya
will he true. It is also readily ap
parent that what fa not now true
ns a matter of fact never has
been true. If mint It ever rolng
tn be eplrltual he Is aplrllual
now, although to our limited hu
man sense wo may not fully cog-
nun tnis eternal fart. "Man la i
idea, the image, ot Love; he la
not physique" (Science and
Health, p. 4fS): and when this j
real status ot man la clearly
aetn, our capacity, our Godllke
uess. our ability to achieve, will
be cnhaucd many told. Th pbys.
ica i senses would have ua believe
thnt we are all right where we
are on arrount of what has gone
before. that our material birth,
education, tralulng, and environ
ment have placed na where we
are. but when we toe that this
is only the human roncept of
man and that In reulltv we are
children of God. aplrllual and
cood. the human roncept Is re
placed by the divine idea and we
are set free.
Spiritual thlnkhiK can change
our belief about man. and that
Is all that ever needs to ba
changed. There la only one aplrlt
ual man. the divine idea, which
does not need to bo changed: but
there seems to be a false belief
about man. and thut la whut we
need to reject and replace with
the truo roncept. It has been
proved beyond question of n
doubt that thla fulse, erroneotia
concept of man can only seem to
have power over us so long us
we identify ourselves with it.
When we refuse any longer to
identify ourselves with It, then
It goes where error always goes,
back to Ita native nothingness.
I have a friend who went to
see a Christian Science practi
tioner about treatment. Physic
ians had previously said that a
large part of one lung hud dis
appeared. Christian Science
tteutment was given, and a later
examination showed thut the
lungs were perfectly normal.
What had happened? A false con
cept of man had been replaced
with the right, truo, or perfect
idea. Another friend who la now
a Judge on the bench went to a
Christian Science practlliuner tor
release from tha drink habit,
and the desire for liquor Instant
aneously dropped away. What
happeued in thla raae? Simply
this, the concept of man as a
sinful mortal was cast out hy
the divine fact that man It God'a
beloved child. In whom He I al
ways "well pleased."
We have Ood't promise, "I
will not fall thee, nor forsake
theo," and Ho will never fall to
know nhotit ut the real, the true,
the perfect, Isaiah eujolus us,
"Cease ye trom man, whose
breath Is In hie nostrils: for
wherein It he to be accounted ot?"
Cease thinking of yourself as a
mortal limited, sick, sinful
and trying to account for seeming
beliefs. Strive to know yourself
as you really are and alwaya will
be, "tho reflection of His power
and goodness'' 'No and Yea, p,
It). Then will follow on of the
greatest blessing that Christian
Hcienc bringa to ua th ability
not only to ae our true aalves,
but to aee other in th game
way, A Urecluu philosopher one
said, "What thou oat, Ihat thou
bassat." Could we conceive of any
nobler achievement than always
to see thla real man, and ao aep

KINGDOM OF COD AT HAND
Thta bringa ut to a qnaatlon
that ha vr loomed large In
human experience th question
of environment. At children of
God ws dwell In the realm of the
real, the kingdom of infinite
Spirit. No matter bow we may
be situated humanly, onr thought
can dwell In this contcious real
ization of spiritual reality. We
cannot alwaya choose where we
are to be, but we can always de
termine where and what our
thinking ia going to be. If there
It anything unfavorable in our
environment, there it only one
thing that la going to change It.
and that ia a clear realisation of
reality. In the kingdom of In
finite good there It no discord or
inharmony. and a knowledge of
thla divine fact - will harmonise
our present environment. Jesus
once aald. "Fear not. little flock;
for It. your Father'a good pleas
ure to give you the kingdom." It
la God's pleaanre to give ut all
good: but thlt mmt com to ua
In God'a way and according to
wisdom's directing. Does this
mean that we mm alwayt work
out our problem right where w
are? Not necessarily; but It does
mean that we are to recognize
laoai a preaence where we are,
and then let God dirct our way.
e cannot always control condi-
tlona or clrcuiustancea to ault our
llklnr. but we can alwaya control
our attitude toward them. Condi
tions In themselves cannot affect
us, but our own attitude toward
them determines their seomlng
power over us. Aa we dwell more
"In the secret place of the most
High." and gain a clearer sense
of God'a allneas. our presant con
ditions will reflect more ot har
mony. Good la ever present, aud
as we become conscious ot this
fact and are grateful for It, more
ot good It manifested right where
we are.
Jesus aald. "The kingdom ot
God ia within you." And love
ia the aure passport to this hea
only realm ot reality. Thoughta
that reflect Life. Truth, and Love
gain a ready entrance there, and
no ono Is ever denied an entrance
that come wllh sincerity and
honesty.
REALITY SPIRITUALLY
DISCERNED
The questions naturally present
themselves: How are we to learu
about reality? And bow are we
to know what Is true? Surely we
cannot learn about reality
through material sense, for ma
terial sense tells us nothing
about reality. It can tell us no
thing about God. Life. Truth,
Love, or reality. All of these are

nisance of material sense. The
