Gives Scientific Religion.

Gives Scientific Religion.
Christian Science is doing much to
satisfy this craving by giving men
scientific, demonstrable religion, re-
ligion not so much Of preaching as OF
works.
EVERY sorrow comforted, every pain
relieved, every sin overcome, every
misfortune reduced. every prejudice
annulled, every disease healed by the
power OF God proves the efficacy or
divine law. makes man more reverent
| toward God, and more gentle and 'oi-
Grant toward his fellow man.
/ Man must separate wrong from
right thinking, even as one separates
| dross from gold, tares from wheat
! impurities from water.
1 This process leaves the pure, the
good the true, the eternal.
Only one man can be referred to az
perfect. or ideal thinker, the man
Christ Jesus.

and the narratives relating to him.
! Christian Science corrects 'hese
widely differing beliefs.
1 That there is divine law, wisdom
and power which was secret from
the world. is evident by the marvel
lous demonstrations of Jesus.
| Christian Science shows that Jesus
icomnrehended this Cody WISDOM
| With it he was enabled to prove the
past difference between the mor'ai

| No reference can be found IN lhe
/ scrin,ures wherein Jesus ever claim
ed to be God. Indeed, quite the re-
| verse is true. as is evident from the
/ statement: .'Of mine own SELF can

dwe,leth in me, he does the works.
His saying, II and my Father are
lone, referred to mans co-exlstence

Many Break Laws.
Breaking the law Of the first Com
mandment, having other Goas. lnouis
ing in idolatry, is the greatest OF all
evils, and yet nearly every one IS
more or less involved in this error.

students worship earthly wisdom; pet

idolatrous and harmful. Humanity

that pertains to evil, sin. sorrow
sickness, pain and death originates
and have their seeming existence IN
