one thing they love. "Ihey love TO t.
the story because they know tits tru
10 satisfies their longing AS nothing ell
can do"
Christian Science teaches there is II
reality in sin; that God made all tina
was made, and all He made was good
that God did not make sin In the Bib
we read that God is of "purer eyes tina
to behold evil, and canst not look on in
iquity."
The Master said: "None is gooC
save one, that is, Cod And Science an
Health in its teachings corroborates thes
statements and reveals God, as the on
only good and that He is only good
i. e., Tie is not good and evil, too. II
is the one absolute good in whom NJ
evil is.
Since no evil is in Him, therefore M
evil could emanate from Him. Hence HI
made no evil; and since He made n,
evil and lie made all that was made
therefore evil never was made
Therefore sin, sickness, pain, anC
death, evil, error, and discord of al
kinds do not belong to God, nor to Hi'
creation; and are no more a part of the
great fact of being than the errors ano
misunderstanding of mathematics ar,
a part of the science of numbers, or dis.
cord part of music.
Man in his true spiritual sense is found
to be as sinless and perfect now, and
as Interchangeable in his sinlessness, as the
everlasting Father, the perfect sinless
and Interchangeable God Himself. 'Be We
therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect"
Christian Scientists are finding their
way into the realms of perfect and har
monious being, where absolute right
reigns, and wrong can never enter.
This is the kingdom of God where
divine Science alone rules and nothing
else has place or power, and this is just
as present and just as possible and just
as accessible to-day as it ever will be.
They are, therefore, outgrowing sin,
because the more they look into it, from
the standpoint of absolute right, the
more its nothingness appears; hence its
emptiness. Therefore they do not make
much of sin.
They are growing. neither to sin nor
to suffer for sin; neither to love it, nor
commit il; and that, because its reality
is gone. Whereas once it was real, now
it is unreal So that Christian Science,
in teaching of nothingness of sin, not
only takes away sin, but the temptation
to sin, for when sin is nothing then
there is no incentive to sin.
When evil is nothing, then good is All
mall.
When we speak of sin, we mean all
evil all wrong. "All unrighteousness in
sin" | John s: IL.
But does the nothingness of sin or evil
give the wanton sinner license to sin 7
By no manner of means, for the law still
Christian Science comes as the
Christ came of old; not ito destroy the
aw, or the prophets" it comes not to
destroy, but to fulfill, and not one iot or
me little shall pass from the law till all
20 fulfilled.
He who sins shall suffer for his sins, |
md shall pay the uttermost farthing, and |
lie who sins, he alone shall bear IT,
If you SOW to the wind, you shall reap /
he whirlwind, and if you SOW to the |
Iesh. you shall of the flesh reap cor
upton"
Teaches That All Is Good
Christian Science teaches that all is
God; not, however, that sin and evil are
God, but that all that is, is good and
hat which is not good, is not at all.
That sickness, sin, and death, matter
nd mortality are not of God, the only
God, and therefore are not good, and
enee are not at all.
Christian Science teaches what the
iaster taught, that "there is none good
ut one, that is, God" He, therefore, is
he only good, the spirit OF good, the
rinciple Of good, good in quality and in
lbstance.
His creation, like Himself, must have
he qualities of good; j. G., good could
OF produce evil. Like begets like"
The effect must always be like the :
luse.
God saw every thing that he had !
ade, and, behold, it was very good :
e made all that was made, but He did !,
1t make that which not made.
Sky Is Instance of Illusion t
That sky out there for instance, that
ems so real seems like a canopy spread a
rer earth, is but the illusion OF the linn !.
ed senses. We are looking out into =
hat to finite sense is unlimited space, !
Id we see as far as we can, and we call
e limit the sky. n
According TO physics light travels at =
c amazing rapidity of more than eleven !,
illions of miles in a minute of time, and A
/ there are stars so distant that their u
int is hundreds and thousands of years a,
reaching our planet.
Then talk about seeing the sky! q,
Gods creation is spiritual and good :
ways has been, always will be, and
yer can be anything else. In His crea-
N there is no sickness, sin, or death,
liter or mortality, or anything con
Try TO God the only good.
The so-called material world, wherein
elleth sickness, sin, and death, matter
d mortality, is not of God. and is not
Dd. and hence is not. at all.
While we look not at the things
ieh are seen, but at the things which
not seen; for the things which are
n are temporal; but the things which
