Christian Science is the law of God. fccHence and Health 4S2-2O known nnderstood and found demonstrable Tt is the Science of Belng: me Science of Life: It is the knowledge of Trnth and True Being, reduced to 1. System. It's name defines it, for 1t ia perfectly Christian; because It countenances no wrong, either Ill theory of practice. It is Scientific, sor if admits of no error, either i'll nramise or conclusion. It's name IS inst what it should be; is as definite snd significant as it can beA
 Christian Scientists are individuals, vhn have found this Truth and found 1t ito be true; found Christian science and found it to be scientific; and are succeeding in measure to demons trate it upon themselves and others who come to them for help. Step py step they are learning their way out of bondage into liberty, out of faults and failures into correctness ana right. Finding their way more ana more out into the grand possibilities that await them in the great Science of Truth and True Being of which they are earnest advocates and eX- ponents. oe
 Christian Science is the Law or Life. Truth and Love, understood ana demonstrated, that has come to the world: and has come by revelation, to one, who through many years was being fitted to receive it, and give II tn a waiting people. And Chrlstlan Science is being recognized, and ac- knowledged as Science; and hence. IS heinz received and taught Scientlflc- ally and understandingly.
 And because it is Science, it is de- monstrable; and is being demons trated in every nation of the clvlilZ- ed world; and because it IS science and can be, and is being demonstrat- ed. therefore the world must and VIII receive it, and nothing can stand pe- fore it. It is the Eternal Truth whose convincing and converting powers nothing can daunt, and whose onward march no foe can cope With
 Those who have espoused this cause are working earnestly ano courageously, demonstrating fol themselves and for the world thls gospel. of "On earth peace, good VII to men, and though they find al times the burdens large and heaVy vet added strength is given With eacl added load to bear They feel tha' much has been done for them, ane of them much will be required For Christian Ccientists are individuars who like all the world whetbeF the! know it or not, were sinniMg agalns themselves and their Own best inter ests, and suffering because Of thell shining, and Who came to the hsaiihs watersaf' Hhe Christ cure to be cleans eC4of their sins; and when they were Mashed, they We're healed ol sh'' malady. cleansed of their sins an their consequent suffering.

 Christian Science cannot tall, any more than the Science of Numbers can fail; mathematics never deceive The Science of Nlnnec'ss will ne"ei fail in any, problem and figures well not falsify concerning it. Likewise Christion Science is absolutely Seien- tific. and the Science of Being can- not fail. The Eternal Laws of Lire Truth and Love, having their founda- tion in the one God, can no more 1a1l than their foundation Princirls--The Eternal God, can fail.
 Statements Logical and Scientific.
 Christian Science makes its state ments logically true and ScTentif;cai- iy correct, Tse Silence "f Peing ii as independent as the Science o1 Mathematics Like the Spirit ol Love, it seeks no reward, ard teare ! no punishment. Since it is the eternal fact of Being, it can stand alone. be- ing true, and it's Princicle Truth, il asks no support from any one or any thing.
 It is the same, whet"er thouaaLds rally to it's standard, or scek to trail it's banner in the dust. It IS Il living reality, and its Princin!e. everlasting Life-and therefore 1t cannot die;- 1t will live through an he ages yet tt come as it has lived through all tht ages that have elrealy come.
