which was on the subject. Christian
Science: the Science OF Salvation"
was as follows.
Tn considering the subject OF
Christian Science: the Science q
salvation It Is well to have a mutual
understanding as to the meaning Of
the terms. Science means exact. sy-s-
tematizcd and demonstrable lynowi-
edge OF facts. laws and causes while.
according to Smiths Bible dictionary.
salvation means 'deliveramCe from
temporal evils and earthly destruc-
ton IN other words. deiiverance from
evil-frOm sin. disease and death.
Hence The Science Of salvation
means I'm substance that demOnstra-
bio knowledge which affords deliver
ance from an evil.
salvation 20 Re Worked Ont.
st Paul admonishes us to work
our own salvation. This scriptural
and means FAR more than the
con m belief that salvation is as
sure, - simply having belief or faith
In Jesus as the Son Of God. such
saving faith Is vitality necessary. but Il
is only tho beginning Of our salvation
Its spiritual basis.
Then must follow the working out
of our delivcrance from evil on this
basis. our actual separation from sin.
from the bondage OF this world. from
Limitation. failure. disease, death.
Working out our own salvation
means 20 secure the mastery over n q
Ills 81 this world. TO destroy them BY
the demonstrate knowledge Of God
establish harmony. health. happiness
IN everyday life. Hence our saliva
ton IL not fully worked out until we
have dominion over all discord and
everything that causes it. This neces-
sarily includes dominion over matter
and It's laws. 10 which we are I'm such
bondage. dominion over evil and is
sensation. sin and sorrow. dominion
even over death and its terrors. u
means TO attain TO perfect harmo-
uious living. TO bring about Gods
kingdom on earth
salvation Through Mind.
I'm working out our salvation we
must first see that salvation or deiiv-
erancc from evil is n mental process
takes place In mind. that 70 IS trans
formation through mind and e. both
ethical and philosophical
'The Bible declares that to be car
usllv minded is death: but 70 be spir-
itualiy minded Is life and peace
AN win admit that evil is primarily
mental. that evil aims and purposes.
AL misiudgmcnt. hatred, envy. ieal-
ouSy. are mental. and that the correc-
ton CT these mental conditions must

perience. the awakening and estab-
Usismcnt OF right thought.
we are all familiar with the ply
sical effects Of fear. anger and other
strong emotions. Such effects having
y mental cause obviously can be
healed mentally. and Christian Science
teaches that all sin and disease. what
ever It, name or nature. has a men
tai origin and IL n mental phenome-
non. an experience OF the mortal. ma
fcriai human mind. which IS healed by
tho divine mind.
Tn Retrospeotlon and Introspec-
tiog' Mrs Eddy SAYS:
During twenty years prior % nv
discovery I had been trying 20 trace
All physical effects 20 mental cause:
and IN the latter part Of 1856 7 gained
tho scientific certainty that All eau
Estion was mind and every effect
mental phenomenon
Regarding Material Causation.
"Christian Science teaches that mat
ter and material existence are phe-
nomena or tho mortal material. finite
mind. a conception Of existence OBJ
tanned through the physical senses.
rnisapprehension OF reality held by
human consciousness when unin-
structcd by science. an appearance in
stead Of an actually. II is simply an
Imitation or counterfeit obtained from
q finite. dirneusional mortal basis.
Now 70 a. not the appearance. but
tcfiircnce and substance. The mani
festation o. growth. action or being IN
matter is but a material concept or
spiritual facts.
The objects. action and power OK
pressed IN n moving picture arc not
IN tho picture and we do not associate
them with the picture. but with the
original which the picture reproduccs.
Similarly. life. growth. action. power,
substance. law. etc. are not in matter.
physical existence or the material
consciousness. but IN divine mind.
tho only cause and principle OF being.
and should be 80 thought 81.
when We recognize God as the
only mind. the only cause. truth IS
reflected fr consciousness and exist
eucc e. harmonious. When We be
Iicvc causation 20 be material or in
mortal mind. We put our trust and de-
ucndcncc In n shadow. n false belief
and existence. so called. is discordant.
liable TO disease. disaster. death. In
order 10 work out our salvation we
therefore need TO understand causa-
ton.

Everything that we know or see or
believe. All our thoughts. acts or OK
pcriences go % make up our universe.
our sense OF existence. our conscious

encc largely through the physical
senses. 10 Is very important that we be
able 20 weigh and sift their testimony.
We ali know how deceptive these
senses are. The distant house IS not
