Let us assume that the beginner
in Christian Science is starting the
day with this resolve uppermost, and
Is determined to allow nothing but
helpful. salutary thoughts to enter
his consciousness from morning 10
might Let us further assume that be-
fore the day has advanced very far
he is taken with q severe headache.
This. he concludes, would not have
appeared If he had been mentally
holding to the enduring, the good,
and the true" To correct II he ex-
amines his thoughts to discover just
wherein he has been remiss in solen-
tlfic, steadfast thinking. He recalls
that he was greatly aggravated over
the action OF one seemingly deter
mined To- take advantage Of him and
that he himself was planning to re-
taliatc In kind and give back just
what he got, blow for blow, an eye
for an eye and tooth for a tooth.
such thoughts he knows are neither
enduring nor good nor true, so he
starts to do little mental house
/ cleaning. lie sweeps out Of his men
tally everything he ilnds that is re-
vcngcful, malicious or obstructive.
Then turns his thought towards the
things OF God and before long he for
gets about his headache for II has
vanished with the harmful thoughts
that introduced il,
or instead Of a headache, lot us
suppose taht our friend becomes Load
ed down as the day wears on with
sense Of disbursement II may be
truly said that nine people out of ten
submit to diseouragemcnt without
resistance because they do not know
any better. They do not know that IL
ia not only bad bat dangerous, They
do not know that Il Ia mental IN
trudcr a moral nuisance that should
never bo tolerated but alwoys
Stunned as one would Infectious dis
ease
II IL bad because it IL full Of de-
ccit II IL great big fraud. II tricks
a man into believing he is q failure
when success may be waiting for him
lust around the corner 1t deludea
him until he sees things crooked ana
believes things about himself ana
others that he knows are not true,
II robs him OF his courage, strips him
Of his ability and mumbles into his
ears the awful lie that God has FOR
gotten him.
Dlscouragement liz dangerous be-
cause II IN the entering wedge fpr
the evil thoughts that produce oNu
deeds. II rs the devils favorltc tool
lunrceognlzcd as such by many, ana
resisted by so few. II Is noteworthy
fact that outside OF Christian Science
lthere are very few who shun dis
couragement as they would sickness
ladversity or failure, yet II opens the
way for all Of these and worse.
Now the man who is holding his
Thought steadfastly to the tlunBs that

the poison Of disbursement that II
swift in its operation, and positive IN
Its effects # il something That cam

gratitude.
DO YOU know. my friends, that
gratitude Qucnches the smoking ures
Iof encouragement as the ocean does
a spark? And here let me say to YOU
That there is not man on this green
ttfts Qu1 gnnns
thing for which to be grateful to God
fbr il he will hunt for II honestly
ana earnestly. and when found give
lif n place in his heart, he VIII see
discouragement vanish like q bat INTO
1.-THE night.
The man who Is learning to know
lGod has gratitude with him always
hence discouragement makes no long
viaith TO his mental household.
Good Always Constructive.
No two thoughts, one good and the
other evil can prevail at the same
time in n mans consciousness. 1t ~
na impossiblo an II is for two divers-
linz lines to meet Good Ia always tho
positive. evil the negatlvei good the
constructive. evil the degeneratiNe'
rood the real. evil the unreal.
Every good thought held rcverent-
~ and steadfastly will improve. de-
vclop and multiply and bring others
Of its kind.
Right thinking. then. leading 70
right acting, not only brings US what
wa need but protects US from the
things we most dread, and Is effective
In every walk of life and available to
every type Of man.
1t may DO claimed that tins sc'eh-
tific thought control Is not an easy
thing to bring about Granted but
it is possible thing, and II Is thlhs
TINT IL constantly being done by tho
Ibeginner. as well as " The experts
enced worker and Is an essential
though elementary, form OF fisht
procedure in Christian Science
It ia only possible, however to nm
who understands in some degree the
taIlness of God and the nothngness OF
everything or thought when docs NOV
lprocced from infinite Mind.
And with that understanding comes
d, consciousness of Gods protecting
care and tender love for all His chll-
dren--a consciousness and purer de-
slrcs. that makes men and women
want to he better and want to know
how to be better, that they may
shufe in His infinite mercy and KIND
ness and love.
