 Necessity of Overcoming.
 And thus in these messages to the churches every blessing is coupled with the word overcoming
 The ideal Cor new man as Paul eT presses 10 in Christian Science, Is not vague and shadowy creation but as tangible to spiritual sense as are ob- iects to the material touch and vision Mrs. Eddy says; This reflection seems to mortal sdnse transcendental because the spiritual mans substantiaity tran scends mortal vision and Is revealed only through divine Science" science and Health, SO1 13,
 Our steps in this direction are taken only as we put off the deshy nature and put on the heavenly qualities of justice, wisdom, mercy, tenderness, spirituality, are willing to cruelty tue effectonsand earthly desires and yield to the divine operation and purincation Of spiritual love and ts consuming fires. The gold of human character must be cleansod of It's earthly dross and burnished to reflect the divine image, only thus can we get the victory and win the immortal crown, but the warfare is grand and the victory sure if we are faithful, and the glory beyond human conception; as the faithful Paul tells Us. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him"
 Christian Science to-day, in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, gives us the absolute science of Being as Jesus lived and demonstrated it; for the first time the human mind in its full and final analysis Is given to hu- mnnlty, and the Illusions are seen to be the Dead Sea fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" the pantheism that would dethrone Deity. It meets from Christian Science the verdict of Jesus, 1t Ia "a lle,' n liar from the beginning and the Truth never was in It. Good men and evil were never in co- partnership. Good is the only reality and law of being. Being always was perfect and harmonious and man never fell from his true es- we are sons of God" Some one always asks: If man was always perfect in God, how did he ever fall into this ma terlal, discordant condtion?" II is as If some one would ask an astronomer. If the earth now revolves in It's orbit around the sun, how did 1t ever hap pen that If used to be flat and station ary7 The scientific man will say that 1t was never so; that was only a false sense of 1t. In the same way we have judged unrlghteous judgment of men, we have judged from the seeing of the eye, and the hearing of the ear. after the flesh and not after the Spirit, To reverse this false estimate of man, and see with eyes of divine love, that love and loves image and likeness Is the reality of existence. to see as we arc seen, as God sees the love as Love loves. is to redeem the world, and All It with the radiance of life, for life is love.
 It was this spiritual, universal m. selfed sense of love in scientific being that gave Jesus his dominion over sin and death and this reflection of love and spiritual perception will give it to us
 Sublime Leadership.
 It is often objected, particularly by the masculine thought that this move ment should he led by a woman Thic should not be particularly when this woman has given such required proofs of her dlvinely appointed leadership that thousands have been redeemed from the grave, from poverty, sorrow as have been through her teachings
 The worlds greatest humanitarian movements are organized and led by devoted, consecrated Christian women. II would seem strange if this great spiritual movement should not be- led by woman None other but its founder and discoverer could he its leader, leading through this wilderness of modern inventions and theories with such matchless wisdom How long has the aspiration for unity been deferred, Only a demonstrahle scientific Chris tianty can unite the Christian world; no room for theories. nor speculation nor dogmas, nor creeds in a demonstra ble science of Christianity This unity Of thought is foreshadowed in our ser. vices, for each Sunday every Christian Science church in the world, and nearly every civilized nation Is represented from Norway to Australia, from Hawai-
