What is the matter with these peO-
pleg You VIII find some who believe
that all IF the bitterness, trials and
failures of their careers are according
to an inevitable or pr, arranged destiny
You will find that professors of =
speculative phi osophy have formulated
an ungodly theory that these people
Al e engaged in fratricidai and com
petit We struggle for the survival III the
fittest and that at the bottom If the en-
tire social fabric is law which provides
that success is wholly contingent on the
capiice of fortune and THAI only those
who can Guido or overw helm others
can succeed or have the right tn exist.
You will find, indeed, that nearly all
men are joined in a monoton0us recon
citation 10 evil and 10 belief that its
fierce de- potism and prncurrments are
resistless
II would speak to those whose prob
lens day by day seem rs perpleXing
and urgent as though they were sick;
to the people whose lot is already hard
and who seem 10 be the prey of circum
stances and difficult conditions 1t
may seem TO you 10 be an unavailable
declaration, but nevertheless, am here
to tell you that these evil conditions
are not lawful, but are the results of
abnormal causes which can be con-
trolled The same evil sense of life and
the same defective philosophy of all
which have entailed sickness upon men
have likewise entailed discord upon all
their affairs, and the same Science OF
Life which controls and corrects IA
mans body will also control his busi-
ness.

1t is that people do not understand W hat
the trouble is; how to master IT or that
they can master it through the power
of Mind rightly directed. The domin-
ion which was God bestowed is the do
minion of Mind over evil, and Christian
Science is revealing this mind To men.
1t is explaining the Science of life. 1t
is educating men to use the power of
Good aud for good purposes, and as n
result business men find that they have
larger control over their affairs They
can do business on more satisfactory
basis and with better results. They can
do it without fear and anxiety. They
can better learn how to deal with
others; how to detect evil mental con-
ditionS and how to better accomplish
anything that is right for them to do
''The same is true with people in all
other spheres or occupation. The
teacher can do better; the farmer can
do better; everyone can do better.
Elm conclusion | say to You that in
Christian Science there is no longer an
unknown God. No longer do the dis
torted craven images of human thought
mask or hide from us the real God. who
is altogether lovely; who is dearest
friend. whose help is ever available,
whose grace is sufficient and who ere
ated man that he might have life and
peace.
"Christian Science promises to lead
mankind 10 God through the highways
of health and life instead of death. 1t
promises 10 humanity in the name of
God not the doubtful felicity of the
grave, but "a sensible, practical dispen-
sation of good now 1t promises to
naturally and willingly incline men to
a more spiritual life which will satisfy
them-and it promises that as they
Wend their way to sure heaven this
Christ Truth will be the Christ Way
Shower through all the mazes and be-
sediments of an evil sense and an evil
age, until they shall with undertaking
trust and confidence, abide under the
shadow of Him who has said in the
words of David:
'''Because He hath set His love upon
me, therefore will deliver Him; | will
set him on high because He hath known
my name.
He shall cali upon me and l will
answer Him; | will be with Him in
trouble; | will deliver Him and honor
Him
"'With long life will satisfy Him
and show Him my salvation
