not Incidence, laziness, slackness nor
sloth; but work, energy, thrift. accom-
ptishment and advancement. No one
can be a Christian Scientist and be
lazy.
Christian Science has for its mission
everything that is elevating in it's ten
dency and uplifting in its character. It
is not a one-sided religion, nor a reli-
gion of one thought only; being based
on Divine principle it reaches out and
takes in all that is good and pure and
purifying. 1t cleanses from all filth
of body and mind.
Christian Science has for its mission
not only the correcting of the evils
and wrongs, the sickness and the sins
in the world today, but it has also
for its mission the purifying and ele-
waiting of all that is called good and
right and beneficial in the word.
Christian Scientists are not found to be
1awless and lawbreaking society OF
people, but on the other hand they up
lift the standard of morality, law and
order
Christian Science has for it's mission
to raise the standard OF health in the
world. For not only the sick are heal
ed and raised to health, but the health
full learn what true health is; learn
that it is not of matter but of mind !:
learn that it is not of man but of God:
learn that 1t is not of the body but
of the spirit; learn that health is not
a physical law or law of the physical.
but an eternal spiritual scientific law.
that is as Interchangeable as the eternal
God, who is the same yesterday, today
and forever.
ChristA&n Science does not come as
an iconoclast: 1T does not come break
ing images and giving nothing in re-
turn, t. does not come tearing down
churches and breaking up societies; it
has for it's mission not to tear down
but to build up; not to separate but
to unite
Christian Science gives the Bible to
the world as it never had it before. 1t
has restored the Bible to thousands of
families and tens Of thousands of in
dividuals who had long ago laid 1t on
the shelf in discoura cement. because
they could not understand it,

Health. by Mary Baker Eddy, the BIZ
BILE is Illuminated, is no longer sealed
book, but is wide-open book. a book
upon whose sacred pages Christian
Scientists find, as adherents of truth.
how ''to take the Scriptures as their
guide to eternal life"
Christian Scientists have also been
accused of being a prayerless people.
but Christian Scientists, while they are
not found on their f1eshly knees in long
verbal prayers to a personal deity,
are learning more and more how to
pray always and in every thing give
thanks, how to pray with that sincere
hearts desire to know him whom to
know Alright is life eternal"
Christian Scientists are not street
paraders. and public square ranters,
tent shouters or camp-meeting zealots,
they viii always be found at the prop
er time in their own proper and prf-
vate place of worship, carrying on their
mode of worship in their own most
quiet and private yet public manner.
Christian Scientists buy property and
build churches, and seldom if ever go
in debt When they buy property for
a church edif1ce they pay as they go,
so when the church edifice is COM
pleted it is ready to be dedicated free
of debt.
Christian Science brings to the world
one Principe, one Mind, one God and
Father, and that must of necessity es-
tablish harmony, peace and brotherly
love: and this must be the Millennium.
Christian Science must of necessity
separate between the true and the
false, and nothing but science can
do it.
The physicians little know when they
denounce Christian Science that they
are rejecting the very thing they need
TO, heal their sick, where medicines fail.
for medicines must fail, since every
thing mortal and material has failure
written on it. And right here it. is
but just to ask, do Christian Scientists
ever fail? Yes, they do sometimes fail.
and If they fail at all they fail too
frequently But Christian Science it
self can never fail. It is founded on
the rock of self existent, self-evident.
demonstrable and undying Life. Truth
and Love. and therefore can never fail
Christian Science will stand unm0v-

time shall have rolled into oblivion.
