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, moral pride and power,
prestige or privilege? The first COM
mandment of the Hebrew decalogue.
Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore me,'' and the Golden Rule are
the all-in-all of Christian Science. They
are the spiritual idealism and realism,
which, when realized, constitute a
Christian Scientist, heal the sick, re-
form the sinner and rob the grave Of
its victory.
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.
Beloved, 1 am not with you in pro-
pria persona at this memorable dedi-
cation and communion season, but 1
am with you in spirit and in truth, low
ingly thanking your generosity and
fidelity and saying virtually what the
prophet said: Continue to choose
whom We will serve"
Forgetting the Golden Rule and in
dulgin.s sin, men cannot serve God;
they cannot demonstrate the omnipo-
tence OF divine mind that heals the
sick and the sinner. Human will may
mesmerize and mislead man; divine
wisdom, never. Indulging deceit is like
the defendant arguing for the plain
tiff in favor of a decision, which he
knows will be turned against him.
We cannot serve two masters. Do
we lo7e God supremely? Are we hon.
est, just, faithful? Are we true to our
selves? Cod is not mocked." What
ever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap" To abide In our unsettled bet
ter self is to be done forever with the
sins of the flesh, the wrongs of human
life, the tempter and temptation, the
smile and deceit of damnation. When
we have overcome sin in all its forms,
men may revile us and despitefully use
us, and we shall rejoice, ''for great is
our reward in heaven
You have dexterously and wisely pro-
vided for the Mother Church of Christ,
Scientist, @, magnificent temple where
in to enter and pray. Greatly impressed
and encouraged thereby, deeply do 1
thank you for this proof of your pro-
gress, unity and love.

AEY Y Beloved Brethren: The divine
wv might of Truth demands we'll
doing in order to demonstrate
truth, and this not alone in accord
with human desire but with spiritual
power. st. John writes: BLESSED are
they that do his commandments, that
they may have right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city,"
The scar leaves of faith without
works, scattered abroad in Zion's waste
places, appeal to reformers, "Show me
thy faith by thy works.
Christian Science is not a dweller
apart in royal solitude; it is not law
of matter nor transcendentalism that
helps only the sick. This science is a
law of divine mind, a persuasive ami
mus, an unerring impetus, an ever
present help. Its presence is felt, for
it acts and acts wisely, always un-
folding the highway of hope, faith un-
derStanding. 1t is the higher criticism,
the higher hope; and it's effect on man
is mainly this-that what one knows
of him, on examination one Is COM
PEELED to think genuine, whoever did it.
Christian Scientist Verifies his call
ing. Choose ye!
When, by losing ones faith in matter
and sin, one finds the spirit Of truth,
then he practices the Golden Rule
spontaneously; and obedience to this
rule spiritualizes man, for the world S
nolens volens cannot enthrall it. Lust,
dishonesty, sin disables the student; it
precludes the practice or efficient teach
ing of Christian Science, the truth of
mans being.
