told you what Christian scienes 90
for me physically, am going ~ tel

church With which ny mother was af-
hHated. and in which she was 81 ardent
worker, that Just the other siqe q tne
valley 81 TIE shadow 81 death there wac
that boautIful New Jerusalem, The city
With re- golden streets and ltg pesrig
gates. WheFgin ] was tod there was 20
more suffering, 10 more eorrow; but,
strange - Il may sewn, ! did not want
30 60 10 Heaven IL ] bad 70 die % get
there. for, with che story Of The New
Jerusalem / also heard the story Of the
other place, which - down, end not %,
and was tod that nesrly all who passed
through The valley went down and not
up The degree Of uncertainty was too
great b Be attractive, and 30 there had
grown Up IN my thought, - young
insn and bog. q terror and horror Of
God. / heard that all things were the
manifestation Of His Infinite Wisdom,
and the terror grew and grew IN my
thought, ~ ] pictured Him ~ located
On some great throne, far above me,
ready and willing 10 crush the very eX.
istencs out Of me 90 any instant, until
/ had r. ached the point where l0athed
the name Of God.
Then Christian Science came 10 me
and told mo mentally and audibly that
God IL Lowell That there e nothing Of
God IN these thinGsl That He has moth
Ing % do with them, and Il took away
my disease and my suderingl 10 took
aWay my horror and my bathing Tor
God. Christian Science came 20 me
and gave me God, and when / tell you
this ] am telling you the story Of count
less thousands spread ell over this globe.
IL Il any wonder that we love the one
who has been 20 aelhess and 20 faithful
IN her work that, through Il. God has
come % as and salvation been brg,ssI---
within our spprehensiee2llc niBss. gladly.
aisnt g h6yfilly. because L = through
her continued teaching, for over forty
years, that God reigns and may not Do
overcome. that the mystery Of the Way
Of salvation has been removed, and the
glory Of God again been made apparent
10 mankind.
hanklnd's existence IL one hidoous
nightmare Of fear, and nothing Il done
By mankind unless consciously OF un-
consciously Il Is governed by an under
lying euhgtratum Of fear. Mankind
fears accident. fears sickness, fears Old
age; fears II it has any money it will
lOae IL, and fears II Il hasn't any money
II never will have, and there is your
poverty; fears II will die II Il eats, and
sure q viii die II Il doesn't eat; fears
what II calls The devil; fears God, and
fears death with the utter hOpelessness
and holplessneas Of abject slavery.
There II an old Arabian fable, ante.
dating che Christian era By hundreds OF
years, which bears very pertinontly on
two apectreB we're met going into city
by . man who stopped them and asked
their names, One Of them said, "My
name is Cholera, Z" and the other said,
Ny name 10 Feat" He asked them
why they were going into the city, and
Cholera said, ''I am going Ia % kill one
man, " and sFeaF said, II will kill al
the rest. AZ we read m history The
story Of the black plague IN London, we
learn that thousands died % one time,
not because they had che plague, but
because OF their fear Of Il.
There IL no advancement, no hope for
man IN fear Of CHS kind. and we may
escape Il by being Obedient % our Bible
and seeking first the Kingdom Of God
that u within us, knowing that u Is
true that we live, move and have our
being IN God, who u Love. Herein lies
our freedom, for our Bible teaches ne
that there Is no fear IN Love, for per.
feet Love casteth out fear. "
10 God put drugs on the earth % pre-
serve and save che life Of mankind,
why did Jesus, who came doing the viii
OF the Father, fail % use them IN the
healing which he accomplished Jesus
never used anything for the healing Of
mankind from disease other than the
Word Of God, and that never failed.
All / hear some one cay, but be did
use material remedies when be pat clay
and spittlo on the blind mans eyea. ]
am going % talk b you about this case.
Tor, when UNDERWOOD, it Is one Of che
most wonderful Lessons IN the whole
Bible DO you believe that Jesus
thought, when he pat the clay on the
man 3 tyca, that it would restore bic
sightf ~ you do believe that, then you
believe that there was an instance IN
which Jesus failed 20 foreknOw what
would happen, Tor We know that the
clay failed 10 accomplish anything Did

once 20 the command Of Jesus, he
