always with presence, power. and Sci ence, or knowledge.
 At this point, however, it must be clearly remembered that this Mind or cause which we call God is also in finite good. Therefore, we see that Mlno is that which thinks good alone, and that only true thinking or good thinking is of God; consequently only thoughts which are infinitely good are creations of God or Mind and are real. and evil thoughts are not of God and are not real. Thus only good thoughts express Mind ard have pres ence. power, or knowledge
 Let us look clearly for one moment at our Scriptural and logical prem ises,-that God is infinite cause, is omnipresence, omnipOtence and omni- science: that He is infinite good and is also intelligence or Mind These are naturally premises which all Christians should admit, and which are based not only upon Scriptural revelation but also, as we have seen Upon reason Now, have these defi- nitions of God made Him any less near and dear to us or have they made Him any more difficult to un- derstand? Not at all. The necessary rejection of the theory of an anthro- pOmOrphic or corporeal God has only given us a clearer and more practical sense of Deity which will be found to | be invaluable to those who will ac- cept this new and higher sense of | fhaip Il ilyr lives.
 l Indeed, it is not until we perceive that God is Mind, and that every good thought is an expression of God and is His very presence, or is Mind with us, that we really arrive at the inevitable conclusion of the nearness and dearness of infinite divine Love. l This conclusion at once opens our eyes to the possibility and practical ability of seeing God, or Mind, face to face, here and now, through right thinking-through having that Mind

 The Creation of Infinite Mind or God
 Having understood God the creator aright we are naturally in a posi- ton to declare what His crea ton must necessarily be, for since God is infinite cause there can be no other creator and all creation must he the effect or expression of this one and only cause. Now, what kind of ere ation is it likely that such cause as infinite good or infinite Mind either would or could create? It must i be quite plain to every one that in finite good could only create an in finitely good creation and as God is also infinite Mind, that creation must also be wholly mental. Therefore Christian Science in spite of the ev- idence of material sense. accepts un- reservedly the fact that Gods ere ation is in reality wholly good. is now and forever has been mental or spiritual, and always expresses the presence, power and knowledge of it's creator
 This creation. however must be perceived mentally or spiritually, and is never discerned by the erroneous human senses. The creations of in- finite Mind, Christian Science de- clares, are not material things but the i likeness of Mind. and are therefore spiritual ideas. Christian Science de- clares that Gods only creations are spiritual ideas forever expressing the perfection. beauty, and holiness of tine divine Mind It consequently teaches that the truth about Gods man is that he is not material organism born of material father and moth- CT, but that he is, forever was and forever will he, complete idea of God expressing the eternal harmony and intelligence of the divine Mind, and that he is forever governed by divine law alone: and Christian Sci ence declares this in direct opposi- tion to mortal sense. which for it's
