which has as a result the bringing of
the earnest seeker into such better
communion with God as to destroy
fear, despair, distress and disease,
surely speaks for itself, and it is such
prayer that Christian Science teaches
and that Christian Scientists are striv-
ing to approximate in keeping with
the Masters admonitioD TO ''pray al
ways" and the results of these eff
forts in sickness healed and sin dis
placed by reformation in unnumbered
Instances encourage them to believe
that they do not task amiss."
Mind Their Own Business.
| Christian Science may not be readily
understood by the critical or superficial
Investigator, but it's deeply Christian
character is proven by this healing It
brings the sick, the comfort TO the sor-
rowing and the renewal and reforma-
tion of mind to the sensual and sinner.
1t is significant that Christian scien-
lists never preach sermon against the
beliefs of others; but eoneede to them
the right to worship as they please,
and for themselves simply ask the free
doom of their W convictions, their
constitutional and divine right to wor-
ship God after the dictates Of their
own conscience.
Must Stand on Its own Merits.
II is narrated in the dfth chapter
of the Acts Of the Apostles that these
earnest followers OF the founder Of
Christianity, by reason Of the practi-
cal and healing application of their
Masters gospel, had so incensed the
professors of recognized and estab-
lished religion in their day, that oppo-
sition and denunciation was about to
eliminate in the attempted destrue-
tion OF these faithful followers. And
NJ this time, so the sacred story runs,
I" stood there up one in the council, a
Fharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor OF
the law, had in reputation among all
the people and said unto them:
We men Of Israel, take heed TO your
selves, what ye intend to do as touch
ing these men. And now | say unto
you, refrain from these men, and let
them alonej for IL this council or this
work be Of men il will come TO naught;
but If il be Of God ye cannot over
throw il; lest haply ye be found
even to fight against God"
May not those, who by reason OF
differing religious opinions and posi-
bly, lack Of appreciation of the doc
ltrine and application of Christian Sci
ence, find council worthy Of considera-
ton In the wise advice Of that ancient
doctor Of lawg And at this season Of
"Peace on earth, good win to men, >
Christian Scientists would most ear
nestly say to all fellow.religionists re-
gardless Of ereeds or professions, in
the words of Abraham TO Lot, "Let
there be no strife, j pray thee, be-
tween thee and me for we are
brethren"
