DEVILS price for disbursement was
so high that it was never sold. He
still owns it and he is still using it.
An effective plan to drive out dis
couragement is to bring into thought
some measure of gratitude or praise.
There can always be found something
to be grateful for if we will hunt fot it
honestly and earnestly. The good
old-fashioned practice of counting our
blessings. the things we have we
would not like to do without, gener-
ally brings gratitude to the surface
for along every mans pathway in life
there are blooming the sweet flow
sers of gratitude and If he will but
stDop and pull one and wear it he
Eill find it's fragrance a magic dis
peller of discouragement. Or if the
day be cold and dreary and the flow
ers covered with snow, he can find
that warmth of soul which always
banishes disbursement, IL he will
but heed that part of favorite pas
sage from Jesus from.Isaiah, where w
are commanded to put on the gar
ment of praise for the spirit of heav-
mess" 1t never fails.
have thus far spoken more of the
results of Christian Science than of
its methods. For the latter | would
have you consult the pages of its
textbook Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy. You will not lay it
down with disappointment if you
taka it up with sincerity.
But that you may carry away
with you tonight some elementary
precept to test for yourselves,
would place before you this simple
fact. The Christian Science method
of getting rid of things that are wrong
is to introduce things that are right.
This is not fighting evil but destroy
/ ing it. 1t has been proved in mil

wrong action will invariably vanish
into nothingness if you will but in
troduce a right though in its place
/ Good destroys evil as surely and as
quickly as light destroys darkness
Remember that for you will find IL
helpful if you are ever disposed to
try Christian Science for yourselves
If you associate in your thought gooe
with light and evil with darkness yo'
will have before you a flashligh
} glimpse of the impotence of evil II
the presence of the good. Not all the
darkness of the universe can extin
guish the light of one tiny lamp
Wherever it goes it chases away
darkness, which is always withou
power to move, or even to be in th'
presence of light. So with the ligh
of good and the darkness OF evil.
The comparison is good one
but it is not mine. You will find i
many times in the pages of your Bi
) BILE. Remember then, if you will, tina
t the Christian Science method of ban
| fishing evil-darkness to bring i
! the ight-good. If you We're to TT,
: it for a single day you would be SUI
prised to find what new sort OF ola
t you would be giving to yourselves
!. Every time you find yourself thinkin
1 unkindly about your neighbor, brin
t in a good thought about him. 1t Wi
/ help him and it will help you.
Y Every time your thought drop
to the level of the beast, lift it
near to the stars as you can rails
! it. If thoughts unclean, unjust, ma
J licious or obstructive are there
} bring in something of purity, of jul
) tice, of helpfulness, of love. Whe
you have done your best in this lin
of noble endeavor, you have accon
; plished much. You have taken
! step, little one to be sure, but
leads in the direction of the unde
standing of God-the knowledge
sHim, whom to know Alright is Iii
eternal. ADVERTISEMENT
