Compare, if you will, the most emil

and power, captains of industry with
their gigantic schemes, with one who
has gained through Christian Science
an ability to lift up and tore TO
health and usefulness some despondent

perhaps, in hopelessness has become

The possession of the Christlike

Christian Science is not one more re-

There Is Way Of Deliverance
A beautiful picture. say you, but
one that can never be realized. Do

who ever came to earth. He healed
