Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy's Message
to Christian Scientists.

Beloved Christian Scieutist
Keep your minds 80 filed with Truth and
Love that Sin, disease, and death cannot en-.
ter them.
/. is plain that nothing can be added to
the mind already full. There ia no door
through which evil can enter, and no space
for evil to fill in mind filed with goodness.
Good thoughts are an imperS;ous 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 injures himself
" th what be would have harm others.
Goodness involuntarily resists EVIL.
The evil thinker takes bis own dose and
dies of his own physic. The right thinker is
safe, aud abides under the shadow of tie
Almighty. His thoughts can onay reflect
peace, good will, health, and holiheas.
