the highway to the realm of brother

every social and religious reformer. 1t
should be remembered that the very
ranscendentaliSm of the philosophy of
Christian Science makes II of practical
value to all aspects of human affairs.
Because the system deals wholly and
directly with mind and mental forces,
and because it aims at the publication
and specialization of thought, 1t at
once enters the realm of mental causa-
ton, and there purifies, elevates and
corrects. This system aims at the es
Establishment of the Brotherhood of Man,
with one governing Mind, on the basis
of divine Love. It shows that erring
thought, false motives and standards,
selfishness, and human fear evolve and
create the perplexities that surround
the questions of class strife, and the
inequalities of life so prominent in the

capital and labor. Christian Science
lays the axe at the root of the tree of
human error. 1t demands that love
shall take the place of fear, trust and
confidence the place of suspicion. and
the consciousness of Christian democ-
racy and equality in individuality (for

and jealousy. Genuine reform will be
a vain dream, and brotherhood a phan-
elements human a.
ture are changed by the acquisition OF
the Mind of the Master. Individual re-
form must and will end in the general
reformation of the race.
Christian Science, by bringing the
mind into harmony with divine Mind
through gradual process of mental
elimination makes the individual a law
unto himself. Man thus brought under
the impersona1 rule of Right, Justice
and Mercy, involuntarily becomes obed-
lent to the law. He is then by natural
and true instinct a supporter of all
moral and righteous government. Class
Legislation is fundamentally wrong
Popular government, true Republican,
ism, and Christian democracy, in the
larger significance of these terms, will
be sustained and enlarged only as the
divine rights of the individual are recog-
nized and sacredly guarded Popular
government need not be paternal in OF
der to protect it's supporters. Neither is
the idea of liberty so far that it amounts
to lawlessness. Unity in individuali-
ty' should be the motto of our COM
monwealth and the basis of govern
ment in all lands, and among all ma
tons.
Christian Science is of vital import
ance and value to the business man. 1t
intensifieS the normal mental power OF
concentration, application, foresight, and
wise conservatism 1t engenders that
optimism which enables the well poised
and experienced business man to wait,
and in cautious movement attain
legitimate and desired end. 1t enables
the business man to read human nature
more keenly, hence more accurately.
Thus he is fitted to protect himself
against human subtlety and craftness so
common among those mortals who attach
no value to integrity, recognize no OBJ
legations in friendship, and see no gran
deur in being honest, with word and
bond as one. 1t helps him in times OF
panic and in hours of fear, because 1t
reveals the fact that the Principle OF
honesty like that of spiritual percep-
ton, is God. Christian Science, through
it's processes of mental training, hits
business men above the petty annoy
ances of daily life and renders sure re-
ward under the natural laws of cause
and effect to all effort and action that
tend to uphold integrity, honesty and
right motive. Financial panics, So
called hard times, and business de-
preston, come in most cases from men
tai and abnormal reasons. 1t is but in
frequently that actual and reasonable
causes exist for these distressing dis
turbances.
