no other power can be, no other pow

hand, or thwart Him in His purpose.
Therefore God and heaven are, and
their opposites, the devil and hell,

with him. But neither Satan nor his
angels are personal devils. Satan is
the lying spirit, or spirit that lies:
which is but the testimony of the
physical senses which never tells the
truth; and the angels of Satan are
personified evils resulting from the
testimony of these false senses, such
as jealousy, hatred, revenge, hypoc-
risy, sickness, sin and death.
Christian Scientists, being students
of this Divine Science and finding
how scientifically true it is. naturally
and necessarily (n a measure at
leasD, grow to become one with it,;
to reflect it. to represent it and eX-
press it. in thought, in word, and in
deed. And while this with them is a
growth, and is attained to by degrees,

point others to that light, that they
might follow also.
Christian Science being independ-
emily right, it can stand alone; and
Christian Scientists are growing into
independence; not what the world
) calls independence, however, for the
Christian Scientists independence is
, absolute dependence upon God. They

Less than forty years ago this book
Science and Health With Key to the
- Scriptures" was first published and
!, given to the world.
When it first appeared critics said
it would never be read. Today this
book is being read more and more
' throughout the world, and wherever
it is read the sick are healed, sinners
forsake their sins, and the unright-
eous man his thoughts.
So that the influence of this book
IS being felt and its beneficial eff
fects experienced, not only by the
students of this book, but by all who
come within the range of their
thought.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" casts more light on
the inspired Word, and is a more
highly Scientific work than any book
that ever was written. No other book
has ever stated Truth SO clearly, and
! so unWayerinRly and scientifically as
