1t is said Christian Science is The
ology, Science, Philosophy, therapeut-
les. The question may be asked what
relation each of these phases bear one
to the other and which comes first re-
latively. Christian Science is redemp-
tive, its work is redemptive, and its
work to be redemptive must be ele-
mental God during al eternity has
builded all things that really are. The
philosophy which is human takes man
up to the door of hope puts a question
mark upon it and leaves man hope
less. The philosophy of Christian
Science takes man beyond the human
concept into the Shekinah where Jesus
has passed before us, away from the
finite and up to infinite knowledge of
God. The theology of Christian Sci
ence turns us absolutely to God as the
only, the amniscient the omnipotent.
the omnipresent all in ALL The Science
of Christian Science makes us turn to
God as the only law maker and law
giver. The therapeutics of Christian
Science heal the sick by making us re-
alize that God is Good and that nothing
can come from Good except good for
cause and effect must agree. No one
phase of Christian Science is greater
than any other and singly and collec-
lively Christian Science stands with
man inside the door of hope, the ire
sistable irrefutable and irreversable
Word of God. Recognition of God is

Good is Soul, is eternal salvation. I'm

has never known what it means to be
free. To be free and to know what
God is, eliminates the possibility of
anything else really being. Christian
Science teaches that all is infinite
Mind and its infinite manifestation.
We are told to pray for that Mind
which was also in Christ Jesus. CHS
tian Science teaches that Mind is God
Teaching that God is infinite Mind, is
simply saying God Is omiscient. To
say God is omniscient, is to say He
has all knowledge. knowledge i'm

To say that God is the source of
all knowledge is to say the same of
and to say God is the
source of all intelligence is to say that
He is all the Mind there is and no
other conclusion can be reached log
ically. The Christian Science teach
ing that God is the one and only Mind
is not, therefore, new, being simply
the complement of the Bible teaching
that He is omniscient.
Do not mistake my meaning to be
that what We term mortal or personal
or personal mind is God for the belief
in personal mind is the cause of all
wretchedness, murder, hate, jealousy,
malice, war, dishonesty and untruth-
