IH-H5 thi1n with the capacity for both wisely and huznanely exerti1lg the dominion tor supremacy bestowed upon him. Progressively, diligently. faithfully, and lovingly exercising this authority, man is momentarily conscious of the blessing and protection of his crea1or, abiding with,s overshadowing, and rest tng upon all of his activities.
 REIAATTONSHR TO COD. In the light of these uaore conais- lstent and comforting explanations ren- dered by Christian Science we ob- serve man. as the beneficiary Of all that his Maker is and has provided Man must ever be what his Maker de- lsigned that he should be, because God and His universe are unchangf1g The harmonious and nndfsturbed relation ship thus necessarily existing between.

 ] In Science and Health Mrs Eddy has given very coTnpre1a ensfvea re- view of the subject of creation, in lcluding the two records which we have referred to. T5ne second account Is ldesignated as the @<J Je1fovfstdc's record; land the man referred4 to therein as Ehaying been formed by the Lord God from the dust of the ground, and into EWhose nostTf1s bhe breath of life was fbreathed, was called Adam. Refer fences in the Scripture to this type or. fstandard of man, in a majority Of in-. stances, indicate the fnlperfect nature Ithereof, and urge that we separate our selves therefro1n. The prophet Isaiah thus admoni ishes us: sCease ye from man. whose breath is in lais nostri1s; for wherein is he to be accounted

 ATAIE3IAIISTTC VIEWS OF MAN.
 All naterdalistic views and theories EconceEn1ng man give preferea4Se to tho Ibelfef that he is a rnaferial bedr19. and the ultimate of these conclustons bear Ictose resemblance to those Incorporated ! in the Bible history with respect to the Adam type of man, namely sDusk thou art and unto dust shalt 4hou re- turn P l A review of the ana1yssis Of man as given by 1nater5a1 science might be Econsidered instructive in g. way but Enot altogether eddfying. AIoreovez, it would only serve to show us the ut- fter futdHty oG all attempts to obtain ia. knoW1edge Of the true and perfect man by g sturdy of the false. Suffice it to say, that material tnvestEgations have cul11rnated in placing in one of the departuaen<s Of the nationl Dnu- Iseiln at iNQ asll1aagten. D. c, an ex-. hibit eznbodyfng the most advanced scien tifc 1esearch, discovery. and con cIusfon as to W1l at man is The dis.

In the ab- sence of definite knowledge on this most important point 1t is apparent that materfalfsts are greatly handicap ped when attempting to protect life or e11tend it's duration by the app1f- catton. of any system of therapeutics or longevity which material science may devise
 BASIS OF SPIRITUAL HEALING.
 Thus the entire system of material healing, we observe, is preddcated upon the belief that the universe ,frcIudfna man, is material On the contrary
 healing as instituted and successfully accomplished by Christ Jesus, and fui- 1 Iy sustained in the present age by Christian Science, is based upon the spiritual nature and existence of all being.
 Material conclusions are deduced from material sense. which takes no lcognizanee of spiritual life, being, and law. We must recognize that nothing lcan conceive of or may propose con- cernfng God and His perfect man. ap- proxamates the true. It is true that the system Of complicated beliefs and
