Beloved Christian Scientists..--Ke ep
your minds SO filed with Truth and
Love that sin. disease. and death can
not enter them. 1t is plain that moth
ing can be added to the mind already

evil can enter and no space for evil to

thoughts are an impervious armor: clad
Herewith you are completely shielded
from the attacks Of error of every sort.
And not only yourself are safe. but all
whom your thoughts rest upon are
thereby benefited.
1t is the evil-thinker who Injuries him

others. Goodness involuntarily resists
evil. The evil-thinker takes his own
dose and dies of his own physic. The
