said in the beginning belongs to man.
 As each one shall work out this question for himself striving Co al- rive at that conclusion which shall best satisfy him as to which is the true theory of prayer one other thing can be mentioned to aid the in qui2r in reaching that conclusion, and that is that through the Christian | Science method of prayer hundreds of thousands of sick people have been healed Is not this great array Of proof by demonstration at least sut' ficienr to put every thinking per on upon inquiry, lest the Christian Sci' euce theory Of prayer may not. m fact, be the true theory
 Every person who prays desires to
 knoh how to make true prayer All people desiIe good and not evil, and
 in the main all people are equally honest in their religious affiliations, l for no one would knowingly deceive himself about SO important a mat. ter The only reason. therefore. why people are grouped togetber iu if- i ferent reliaions organizations is ba. l cause they honestly believe t1aC | through the organization to whie1 ! they belong they win be most likely

 i Creation
 Another subject about which taero 1 is great confusion of belief. is the i subject of creation There is pe.. 1 haps no subject connected NtU re- i lgiCu or mentioned in the Bible,
 about which there is greater m-uu- ! derstaning than there is ab.ut cr,- i ation l. is surprising how many reo.
 pie there are who do not even know
 that there are two accounts of tae 1 creation in the Bible The first 4c-
 count is to be found In the first ca4.- | ter of Genesis and extends down t1 i and includes the third verse of the
 second chapter Beginnlne with the | fourth verse of the second chapter | thcre follows another account that IS | wholly different from the first
 In tho first account. We are told 1 that God created the universe and
 that everything made by Him N.s l good and lastly that He created
 man, in His image. and after His owa 1 likeness, and that he was good. while
 in the second account we have ths
 alIegory about God coming down to
 earth, and mix ng up dust add ealing l it man Then follows the story of Adam and Eve. and me Garden of l Eden and we are told that deep | sleep fell upon Adam, and that then
 sin appeared and that brother mur-
 dered brother, and from that day to 1 this that the man made of dust has
 been a sinner and has been at eu-
 mity with God.
 l Christian Science accepts the inst l account of the creation as the spir- itual and real creation and upon this | foundation and basis it builds. Re- | ligiOus teachers throughout the cen 1 turies have enormously regarded the 1 Adamman as being the req man
 made in the image and likeness Of God, and yet the Bible nowhere says 1 so The Bible nowhere says that the
 Adam-man was made in Gods image l or likeness. That statement was
 made concerning the real man de- | scribed in an account of the real ere
 aton. And religious teachers have
 yainly striven to make the wisdom
 and the love of God fit the creation
 of a sinner
 Sudh q doctrine as that is impos-
 sible It dishonors God, and degrades
 man. It makes God responsible for
 all of the sim and all of the misery
 from the beginning of time, and the
 best proof that it is not true is shat
 it has never delivered those who be-
 iieves it from evil
 How perfectly the name mortal
 man fits him. Have you ever thought
 of it? Mortalmort-death, for that is
 what the word means A deathman,
 having death body and death
 mind DSes any one believe that
 God ever created a death-man or gave
 him death-mlud or death-bo1y?
 And is it not plain that so long az
 people conceive of them elves as be-
 ing mortals or the mortal or death.

 Christian Science makes plain that
