Gives All Power 10 Good.

Gives All Power TO Good.
| one OF the very first things which
! the student of Christian Science does
after gaining even a faint glimpse
| of the truth Of his being is TO give
all power to good and none to evil.
The door to the kingdom OF heaven
J is opened 10 him the moment he
| does this.
Then he wonders why he spent so
many years in believing in two pow
ers while calling one of them ON
nipotont. The Inconsistency of such
! pearpd TO him. He now sees where
il was the main barrier to his moral
ana spiritual growth.
This one point in metaphysics is
so simple that multitudes Of pro-
! Tossing Christians stumble over it.
| They pray earnestly for deliVerance
| from evil, but never once does it
occur to them to give ali power to
good by Withholding all from evil.
Thoy may declare with the lips
that God is almighty, but they still
| believe that there is an evil power.
! This bars the door to the coming of
snf,.i,,i,1 actiyity which corrects and
dp,,ro"s dp'' ,,,'", an nistalen balief in a GOOD

Leap at a False impression.
When referring to the divinity Of
! this very teaching Jesus said: IF any
man viii do his viii, he shall know
Of the doctrine, whether it be OF COD,
or whether | speak of myself
The critics of Christian Science
never 20 50 far as to apply the rules
| OF this Science before proclalmlnS

Must Heed the Admonltion'
1t tells Us that we must heed the
aduon.tion of the apostle, Awake,
thou that sleepest, ana arise from
the dead and Christ shall give hee
light From what must we awaken
Not from conscious state OF exist
eucc which is real ami eternal Ihat
Wonld be impossible.
The apostle would have rs infer
that we are asleep, even dead, but
that Christ will give us the light OF
understanding to awaken from this
dream sense Of existence. 1t may
be humiliatine to some to be told
that they are dead in trespasses
and sins but sooner or later the
b admission of mortal consciousness
) which knows nothing Of health or
salvation will be made by all man
kind
= It is from this false consciousness
that every human being must sooner
: or later, here or hereafter, awaken
that he may become conscious OF the
, true idea OF God, good. 1t is then
that he begins to partake Of the
resurrection and the life Paul re
ferrcd to it as the putting off OF the
, old man and the putting on OF the
