1T is gratifying TO observe that Mrs,
Eddy is recognized as one OF the worlds
Imost prominent religious workers, the
Founder and Leader Of great religious
movement. In the press, in encyeloped-
las, histories, and many important books,
she is being grouped with famous men
and women and in some degree her worth

fciaries all over the world, recognize in

"The comfort which Christian Science
brings by telling the truth about things,
is beyond expression. Especially those
statements which are based upon the
Scriptural declaration, that man Is made
in the image and likeness of God. If
man is the image, the reflection Of God,
he is that reflection irrespective of what
human testimony may declare him to
have been yesterday or to be today,
God is the life of man and man is Ills
present reflection. Therefore and most

beredity, environment, and education
not subject to ignorance and fear. These

"As we loosen our grasp on the testi-
mony of these senses, withdraw our
faith and trust in the reality Of material
things, lessen our fear of sickness and
belief in its truth and necessity, and
earnestly endeayor to destroy the love
Of Sin and the belief in it, we find our
selves awakening to new life. Christ
ian Science can and does effect this
change by turning our thought to the
spiritual evidence Of mans perfection
as child of God. We have glorious
opportunities before us and we should
awaken to them. We should work,
watch and pray, as we have been COM
manded. We are thinking something
all the time, either truth or error, har-
mony or diseord, and as Christian Sci.
ence teaches us to know God, we can
think Of Him, and when we think rightly
Of Him we reflect Him in consciousness,
the Christ. Truth is present with us and
harmony is established, and will Be ex-
ternalized in health and happiness"
