and religious tenents are rapidly becoming
universal. Religion to the Christian
Scientist means work, enlightened faith,
spiritual understanding, physical and
spiritual healing, the application of the
laws OF spiritual evolution and progress
Grafton of all man kind, and the ulti-
mate establishment of the brotherhood of
man under the law of love through the
Gospel of peace. Christian Science
disbelieves in religion, as it disbelieves in
gods. 1t accepts one religion one God or
Mind, and one family on earth and in
heaven. 1t presents the idea of the Great
movable, ALA divine Min i, in the place
OF III ancient and anthropomorphic idea
of God, which partook so largely of the
nature of imperfect humanity. Creeds,
