may see that her exploration of the Bible
in seeking the foundation for Christian
Science was thorough; but 1T Is to the
students of its pages that the significance
of the title, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" is made appar-
ent; for they find an inspiration for earn
est and practical study of the Bible.
Christian Scientist optimist.
The question presented to eve man
is really this: To what do you give
power? EVIL or good? Christian Selent-
lists, by virtue of their experience, are
confirmed optimists. They have seen
healing accomplished where human love
and human skill had given up hope. They
have seen apparently ineurable bad
habits changed with such a change in
life as yearly takes place in the earth
when the barren cold yields to the bene-
ficent warmth of spring. They have seen
bitterness and cynicism and cruelty melt
away. and kindness and joy and gentle
courtesy take their place. They FIND
that their faithful application of the
teachings of Christian Science to all the
problems of life have brought so many
solutions and proofs of the power of
good to overcome evil that they can
foresee the ultimate triumph of good; and
forgetting the things that are behind"
they press forward in the direction of
that goal.
Evil Not Benefcent Reality.
Some teachers who are selfless and
sincere argue that moral evil and physi-
cal pain are not only realities, but bene-
ficent realities. Observing how good
deed shines in a naughty world, they
seem to think that the good deed owes
its lustre to the surrounding wickedness
They infer that the patience of the bed-
ridden invalid is the product of his pain,
and that the moral courage of the worlds
reformers is due to the wickedness they
opposed But it is his vision of God that
inspires the saint to be meek and the
reformer to be fearless, and in that vision
physical pain and moral evil have no
part.
Why, then, will men argue for the ben
eficent reality of evil? If evil works good.
then its agents are our benefactors; and
why should the most active doors of evil
ne restrained from their benedeent activ.
ity by our prisons? If physical pain Is the
teacher Of fortitude why build hospitals
and attempt to heal pain2
The philosophy of contrast is also
urged. How are We to value honesty
IL thieves do not help us; how appreciate
truth if not liars abound; how be CRATE
full for the ease of health If il be not
offset by disease? This leads too far, ii
the action Of error is in any way con-
ceived of as having place in the plan OF
God; because it would include i'm that
plan all the workers of iniquity. If
lying lips were ordained to teach us
TO value truth, they could not then be
"abomination to the Lord If 1t is
only by meeting offenses that we grow
in grace then blessed is the man by
whom the offense cometh-blessed be
Ahab and Jezebel; blessed be Ananias
blessed be Herod and Judas! But this
we do not believe. When we say blessed
is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord" we mean lone that bringeth good
tidlngs, that publisheth peace"

The NaturaIistIc Religion.


There are no arbitrary rewards and
punshments in the naturalistic religion
We look simply for results of natural
causes and we believe rcverently that
God cannot and will not interfere with
this beautiful order which He has estab-
Ilshed. In the realm of right and wrong
the law OF cause and effect holds good
just as it does anywhere else. You cul-
tivate fields and get crops, and you cnlti-
vate character to get rewards of charac-
ter Worshipng on this theory of reli-
gion is simply cherishing and living the
ideal life, and a man served God by
being good, and that means living the
good life yourself. and being of help to
your fellowman who is your brother.
True Religion.
And now, going to church is not nee
essarily religion any more than the
armory where the military company
learns TO drill and to handle the manual
of arms is warfare. The church is the
place where men and women go to re-
eeive instruction and inspiration In the
divine life, but the field of religion is
on the week days and streets, In the
fields, and offices, in places of business,
in the home, in the family, In our trans
actions and relations with men and wo-
men Your religion is to be most thor
oughIy mixed with your business and
your politics and with your life, and
they with your religion. Religion is
life. not a dogma, not doctrine, not
a theory, not a creed. 1t Is something
that you feel and are and not something
that you profess to believe.

Belief in Old and Distant.

1t is easy to believe the old and the
distant, because we are reared under such
teachings. but things said to happen in
our own midst contrary to science. OBJ
servation and experience are never given
any credence The story of Joshua COM
handing the sun to stand still, or of
the prophets turning the shadow on the
sun dial of Ohas back fifteen degrees,
could receive no credence among intelli-
gent people today.
1t Is because of the magnificent, orderly
and certain procession Of the natural
forces and glories of the universe, that
we believe in God. 1t is not because He
undoes with one what He has done with
another that we believe in Him, but be-
cause we absolutely know we can depend
upon the inherent revelation between
cause and effect.
We are no longer in fairy land. in a
Jack and the Bean Stalk country, but
