thematics are a part of the science of

Man in his true spiritual sense is
found to be as sinless and perfect
now, and as Interchangeable in his sim
lessness, as the everlasting Father, the
perfect, sinless and Interchangeable God
BE We therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect"
Christian Scientists are finding
their way into the realms of perfect
and harmonious being, where abso-
Lutte right reigns, and wrong can never
enter.
This is the kingdom of God, where
divine Science alone rules and moth
ing else has place or power, and this
is just as present and just as possible
and just as accessible today as it ever
will be.
They are, therefore, outgrowing sin,
because the more they look into it,
from the standpoint of absolute right,
the more its nothingness appears;
hence its emptiness. Therefore they
uO uOl make lnucn oil SIN.
They are growing, neither to sin
nor to suffer for sin; neither to love
1t, nor commit it; and that, because
its reality is gone. Whereas once it
was real, now it is unreal. SO that
Christian Science. in teaching the
nothingness of sin, not only takes away
sin, but the temptation to sin, for
when sin is nothing then there is no
incentive to sin
When evil is nothing, then good is
All-in-all.
But does the nothingness of sin or
ievil give the wanton sinner license to
sin? BY no manner of means, for
the law still remains. Christian Sci
ence comes as the Christ came of old;
not 'to destroy the law, or the proph-
ets;" it comes not to destroy, but to
fulfill, and not one jot or one title
Ishall pass from the law till all be full
filled.
He who sins shall suffer for his sins
and shall pay the uttermost farthing
and he who sins, he alone shall bear
| it,
If you SOW to the wind YOU shall
reap of the whirlwind, and if you SOW
to the flesh, you shall of the flesh
reap corruption"
Teaches That All is Good.
Christian Science teaches that all /.
good; not, however, that sin and ev
are good, but that all that is, is good
and that which is not good, is not al
I all.
That sickness, sin, and death, mat.
ter and mortality are not of God, the
only good. and therefore are not good
and hence are not at ALL
Christian Science teaches that tn,
Master taught, that there is none
good but one, that is, God" He
therefore, is the only good, the spiri
of good, the Principle of good. goot
in quality and in substance.
His creation, like Himself, mus
have the qualities of good: I. e., goot

is unlimited space, and we see as faI

According to physics light travels al
the amazing rapiiity of more thar
eleven millions of miles in a minute
of time, and yet there are stars SC
distant that their light is hundreds OF
thousands of years in reaching our

Then talk about seeing the sky!
Gods creation is spiritual and good;
always has been, always will be, and
never can be anything else. In His
creation there is no sickness, sin, OIL
death, matter or mortality or any,

In iwelleth sickness, sin, and death

and is not good, and hence is not. a,

while We look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen; for the things
which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eter-

All Is Mind There is No Matter.
Allow me to read the scientific
statement of being" from our text
book, Science and Health with Key
to the SCRIPTURES" by Mary Baker
Eddy, page 46S.
There Is no life, truth, intelligence,
nor substance in matter. All Is in
finite Mind and it's infinite manifes-
tation, for God is Allin-all. Spirit is
immortal Truth; matter Is mortal err
ror Spirit is the real and eternal;
matter is the unreal and temporal.
Spirit is God, and man Is His image
and likeness. Therefore man Is not
material; he is spiritual"
This Is one of the grandest reve-
lations of Truth and Love that was
ever made to human sense, for It vir-
tually. finally. and conclusively reveals
man and the universe as perfect, spir-
itual reflections of the one and only
God.
Who, but he we call "the Master"
and she we call "our Leader" would
have love enough, and hence, the NOR
al courage. to state that Truth to a
frOMninp world that Monld liharata
