Christian Science is not a dweller
apart in royal solitude; it is not law
of matter nor transcendentalism thai
heals only the sick. This Science is a
law of divine Mind, persuasive ami
mus, an nnerring impetus, an ever
present help. Its presence is felt, for
it acts and acts wisely, always unfold
ing the highway of hope, faith, under
the higher hope; and its effect

his calling. Choose ye!
When, by losing ones faith in matter
and sin, one finds the spirit of Truth,
then he practices the Golden Rule

The Scripture reads: He that taketh

follow truly, meekly, patiently, spirit

the leaven of divine Love, which
woman has put into Christendom and
medicine.
A genuine Christian Scientist loves
Protestant and Catholic, d. d. and M.

he loves his enemies 1t will be found
that, instead of opposing, such an in

they thrive together, learning that

The pride of place or power is the
prince of this world that hath nothing

Whatever is not divinely natural and
demonstrably true in ethics, philosophy
or religion is not of God and originates
in the minds of mortals 1t is the
Adam dream according to the Scrip
tural allegory, wherein man is supposed
to start from dust and woman to be the
outcome of mans rib, marriage syn
onymous with legalized lust, and the
offspring of sense the murderers of
their brothers!
Wholly apart from this mortal dream,
this illusion and delusion of sense,
Christian Science comes to reveal man
as Gods image, His idea, co-existent
with Him-and God giving all and man
having all that God gives. Whence,
then, came the creation of matter, sin,
and death, mortal pride and power
prestige or privilege? The first COM
mandment of the Hebrew Decalogue,

The spiritual understanding, which
demonstrates Christian Science, enables
the devout Scientist to worship, not an
unknown God, but Him whom, under
standing even in part, he continues to
love more and to serve better.
