Temptation Never from God.

| In order that there may be sin
there must be temptation, and in or
! der that there may be temptation
there must be sin, and they both must
! proceed from the same source. Is this
source God or mankind? If it be God
we are lost! If it be mankind, we are
saved. Let this question be answered
| for us by James and John. James
writes:s Let no man say when he
| is tempted, | am tempted of God: for
! God cannot be tempted with evil
neither tempteth he any man: but
every man is tempted, when he is
| drawn away of his own lust, and en-
ticed. Then when lust hath CON
ceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth
death" John writes: "Whosoever
is born of God (and as God is the
only creator, none is truly born nor
may be unless he is born of God)
doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God. Dare we,
in the face of James statement that
statement that whatsoever is born of
God cannot sin, because he is
born of God," ever again associate
the name or nature of God with sin g?
Paul says that God is no respector
Of persons" Do we believe this?
Most of us will say to ourselves, "Oh,
yes;" but let us see if we do. So long
as we believe sin, disease, and death
to be real, just so long do we be-
lieve that God, either directly or in
directly, is responsible for them. AS
we look around us and see one man
afflicted { l say it advisedly) with mil
lions of money, another with the
direst poverty; one having perfect
health, another with ill-health, one
with joy unSpeakable, and another
with misery and woe and despair
if any of us are having to meet the
poverty, the despair, or the ill-health,
can we from the bottom of our hearts
say we believe that God is no re-
specter of persons?" Some one near
to us is stricken with a mortal illness,
and we kneel and pray that the i'll
ness may be taken from the loved
one; that the person may live. If
this illness is from God, it is good;
and why do we pray that he or she
may be relieved from tiff it is good?
If we believe that God sent the sick
ness, and yet pray that it be removed,
that the afflicted person may live, has
not the physician who is attending
that patient-if he believes that God
sent the disease-just as much right
to pray to God, at the same time, that
the illness may continue in order that
he may live?

Scientific Prayer.

Mankind says God is immutabie
and changeless, but hundreds and mil
lions of times every day men are
beseeching the immutable and change
less God to change, change, change;
until mankind conceive of God as the
very center and circumference of eter-
nal change. SO long as we believe God
to be responsible for all things, and
yet kneel and pray that He may
forget His immutability and take
away what we do not want and give
us what we think we do want, is it
not true that if our prayer were sud
denly granted we would be frightened
sible for us to have very much faith
in prayer, so long as we are held in
the bondage of this belief in a change
able God? If we would take into our
consciousness that changeless love,
that changeless religion which Jesus
the Christ preached, there would be
no doubt, no fear; and we would go
to God in prayer with the serene con-
fidence. the implicit faith, that He
who heareth in secret will reward us
openly; which, as the Master taught,
is our birthright and heritage.
This is what Christian Science is
asking us to do; this is what Chris
tian Science is laying before us; this
is the table that is prepared for us
in the presence of our enemies; this
,e +ba v1yIoi oh OF
heaven; this is the water of eternal
life-it is yours, it is mine. Let us
accept the feast that God has put
before us; let us recognize the Com
forter, the Wayshower, again in our
midst; the Comforter which Jesus
promised to send when he said it was
expedient that he go to his Father.
Then there will be no more broken
hearts, there will be no more sorrow,
no more tears, no more separation,
no more sickness, no more suffering
and no more sin, for we shall have
entered into the realization that this
is the day of the Lord; and with
that realization there will come to
us peace,-that peace which God has
promised US, that peace which may
be found only in the straight and
narrow way wherein our Master leads
us. into the kingdom of God within.
The Discovery of Christian Science.
The revelation of Christian Science
came to Mrs. Eddy as the result
of a lifetime spent in continuous
search and desire for the spirit of
the Word and the things of God.
AS a religious reformer she occupies
a position unique in the history of
the world-ms in her trust
in the goodness of God, and I'M
questioning in her obedience to His
commands This calls on her for
such meekness, humility, and self
sacrifice, that she never could live
such a life were it not for the pro-
tecting care of a real livable, demon
strable religion, wherein she finds
immunity from the sufferings OF
those who turn away from the Christ
concept of God.
Ever since 1866 Mrs Eddy's life
has been devoted to the work of
bringing to mankind this revelation
of the way of salvation. She has
done this with such singleness of
purpose, that mankind is awakening
to the recognition of her work as in
cnjred that Christian Science is the

Unless these same works are being
accomplished today, we are Chris
tians in name only. To be a Christian
means to be follower Of Christ; to
be a follower of Christ one must be a
doer of the Word, and must bring
out all the fruits which Jesus said
should be brought out by those who
followed him 'in spirit and in truth. y

had served only small portion of
