to the world through the devotion
and self sacrifice of this noble wom-
an. II cannot well be measured by
any human standard.
The dawning Of the spiritual idea
in Mrs. FJidys Love -chastened con-
, eciousness is the greatest mental phe-
nomenon that could ever be expert
euced by a human being. It's i'm
portance to the human race is beyond
comparison 1t is "the resurrection
and the life" 10 all who humbly ap-
propriate it and begin to live accord
ing to its divine requirements.
Nothing could be more fatal 10

entertain a mistaken sense OF llfa,
The Christ method of learning Life
is made plain in Christian Science.
It is so simple and practical that
Young and old alike may readily adopt
IT,
Master Defined Eternal Life.
The Master clearly defined eternal
Life. and Christian Science has ade-
Guately interpreted his words; This
is life eternal that they might know
Thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ. whom Thou hast sent"
In the light of Christian Science
II is evident that a right knowledge
or understanding of God and His
Christ makes us the inheritors Of
Life eternal here and now Since
knowledge or understanding of God
involves a state OF consciousness
which is cogni2ant of good only we
must not at any point in the Chris
tian warfare lose sight of the one
and only possible basis Of right
thinking.
The acceptance and adoption of
right thoughts or ideas inaugurates
in individual consciousness an activ"
itv that dissipates all wrong thinking.
and must eventually destroy all belief
in sin aud death.
Advent Marks Entrance.
The advent of this mental awaken
ing m individual experience marks
our entrance into eternal life. Every
kind act on our part, every loving
sacrifice for the good of others means
lust so much of deathless Life FOR
ms here and now; in other words
the more good we do and embody
The more permanent becomes our
sense of Life.

INTO the world Right thinking brings
health and peace and JOY ana me.
As the apostle expressed it; ITO be-
carnally minded is death, but to We
spiritually minded is life and peace"
The deathless Christ idea spake
through Jesus: ~ am the light oil
the world: he that folIOweth me
shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light Of life" How shall
we follow the great Wayshower eX-
cent as we begin to think as He
thought?
Life a Continuous Service.
His whole life was one continuous
service of thinking and doing good
His mission was to abolish from
consciousness all thought Of death,
and to bring life and immortality TO
light through the gospel" Could this
have been done through any human
mower mind or intelligence? No;
Jesus wrought through the divine idea
which forever expresses divine WIS
dom. power and intelligence.
without the operation of this di-
vine gospel idea in human conscious
nass the gospel of "on earth peace,
rood will toward men," would never
bsva been taught or demonstrated. II
constitutes the very life blood OF the
Christian religion.
The unprecedentei growth and sue
cess of the Christian Science move
ment is wholly due to the activity
Of the true idea of God as voiced
to the world in Mrs. Eddy's discovery
of the science Of Mind-heaing.
Right mental action is necessarily
associated with right thoughts or
ideas. II is not expressed through
erroneous thought.
John the Baptist's Lack.
Why were there no healing works
accredited to John the Baptist? BE-
cause. according to his own admiS-
SION. he was not in possession of the
Christ consciousness. Jesus said OF
Jnhn: Among them that are born
of woman there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist. not
withstanding he that is least in the
',inedom OF heaven is greater than
he"
This somewhat remarkable state
ment would indicate that the least
degree Of spiritual understanding is
greater than anything possessed by
the so-called human mind as typi-
fled in John.
This ought 10 prove to all thinking
persons the futility of looking 20
9nv human source for healing or re-
denption. If the highest type OF hp-
man thought could not heal in Johns
time. II cannot be expected 10 do
