There must be no delay. The will of
God as expressed by conscience must
be obeyed Immediately. To tarry means
often final failure to follow the voice
of God from within.
There Is one more thought on this
important subject at once important and

great and wonderful thing 1t is. what a

Scientist

The ancient Christians were healers,
Why has this element of Christianity
been 1ost?" This question Mrs. Eddy.
on Page 146 of Science and Health, has
called the world to answer. Thers is
nothing In the Bible record to show
that 1t should have been lost There is
nothing in the realm of reason that gives
satisfactory answer. The answer
must be that mankind has lost sight of
the fact that the Creator is good and is
supreme. abundantly able to govern all
that he has created. When this is rea-
lized humanity will depend upon Diety
rather than drugs to establish and
maintain Health
