CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

quest:
Christian science is the word of God ex
planned Scientifically 1t gives a higher
and deeper meaning to religion than can b.
derived from any other source; in fact, thi!

| the mountains of myth and uncertainty re
garding God and His creation, or God anC
His idea, which is man and the universe
1t clearly defines the relation existing be
tween God and man; and supplants the I'm
certainty Of belief with a certainty of I'm
Outstanding. 1t also clearly defines The
personality and individuality of God anC
His idea. GOd-self existent eternal
omnipotent-His works co-eXistent and co
eternal with Himself God the author OF
all good and perfect gifts" 1t clearly sep
arates Him from the moloch of the age, and
enables His true followers to walk in the
straight and narrow way, land Christ Is
this way"-''He is Truth, and Life, and
Light, and any one coming to the Father
in this way, or by this way shall in no wise
be cast out" And this way scientifically
understood gives the student comprehen-
sivc view of Immortality he fails to get
from other sources, especially from the
mythical uncertainties of belief. 1t teaches
the student how to define His word in a
right and acceptable manner. So they
can well say that it is the guiding star to
all who desire earnestly to walk in Wis
dom's way 1t teaches the difference be-
tween the knowledge of this world and
the understanding Of Truth and clearly
shows the worthlessness of professions
without this understanding, and with this
understanding grace and peace and near
ness to God that is incomprehensible with
out it, and it gives comprehension of the
law of God, enabling one to so order their
walk and conversation and know there is
no law but the law Of God. The so-called
laws of mortality, materiality and me-
diumship are the seemings. THAT
which seems to be and is nOt'-the
evil which Christ came to destroy; so prov
ing them not the works of God, but the de-
ception the illusion which Christ said was
"A falsity-"A lie from the beginning"
God never sent His son to destroy His own
work, but the work of the evil one-"And
then shall that wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit
of His mouth and shall destroy with the
brightness of His coming. I'D Thes., Cd
chapter, Sth verse He sent His Son to re-
deem that which was lost, and bring back
His inheritance to an understanding Of
This is the most important question of
the age, and let those who do not under
slant it be careful to search the scriptures
well before they reject it. For therein they
find life eternal. And they must remember
The letter Of the law killeth," but the
Spirit giyeth life everlasting Blessed
are those who do hunger and thirst after
righteousness for they shall be filled.
The scolfer hath his place appointed with
he unbclevcrs" So one sees that it is
better to remember that Christ forewarned
not to offend these little ones. 1T were
better that milestone were hanged about
lis neck and he be cast into the sea-
Luke Il, H., Mark 8, xiii Christian
science declares God spirit, and they
who worship Him must worship Him in
pirit and in truth John 4, XVI 1t de- |
;lares Him Divine Principle, not person, |
,ervading all things, and from whence all |
blessings flow, the one Life, omnipotent, |

If all things-"He made all that was made

would have been good, and there need be

The scientific statement of being proves
nan the image and likeness of GSd-Spir-

'hrists works will be the destruction of all

The clergy should be careful how they
enounce christian science, lest haply
hey be found even fighting against God,
1t is hard for thee to kick against the
tricks" 1t is astonishing how they can
cad the scripture and not discover the
.ord's truth. Mrs. Eddy'S students are
