deserving Of human consideration or
acceptance.
1t does not need any profound
knowledge of philosophy or ethics to
see that the experiences of man who
is content to live purely on the mortal
plane, believing that If the material
life so-called, is not all, 1t is at least
all that he can know anything about,
will deaden every spiritual aspira-
tion. The fact is of course that all
really fruitful experience must lead to
God and His Righteousness. This Is
the paramount aim and desire of every
Christian Scientist. He has changed
his ideals from the material, to the
spiritual; and whatever human activ.
ity he may be engaged in, he is ever
ready to see that no experience is
lost or nullified. He is prepared to
apply the touchstone OF divine Prin-
ciple to every mental process or
change through which he may pass.
He guards himself against false be-
liefs he gets rid Of them in fact as
quickly as possible. Because he know
that he is a spiritual being, not ma
terial, he is never dismayed by any
experience, knowing that "all things
work together for good to them that
love God" He is ever ready, recep-
tive of the Truth. OF this he cannot
know too much; therefore he searches
for it. for it is the key to freedom
and the subjugation of error.
Moreover-and this rs probably what
the outsider does not quite under
stand-if one has learned how to in.
terpret spiritually every experience.
there is associated with that the ca
pacity to clearly discern between right
and wrong, between truth and error
Thus conscience is quickened, and one
is more alert to so live in the atmos-
phere of understanding, that one will
express love to God and man in a life
transfigured by spirituality. Thinking
on these lines, and seeing how every
human experience may be a teacher
from God, one learns to agree with the

feat comes the secret of victory"

FAMILY FETES TIGHTEN TIES
Advantage Should Be Taken Of Any
Anniversary That Makes Gather
ing Possible.

Little family fetes do much to
strengthen family affection. Take ad-
vantage of any occasion that may
prompt gathering of the family; let
not one slip away unnoticed. Gradu-
ations, marriages, births, no event of
special interest should be neglected.
No anniversary is more personal than
birthday, be it in youth or old age.
Everybody likes to know MAT people
are glad he is here. In the companion
ship of their friends, young folks are
forming ties that fhe coming years
will strengthen. And when the young
people help to celebrate the birthday
of parent or elder person, they learn
thoughtfulness and unselfishness, and
find happiness in making others happy.
As the years fly by and life of Joys
and sorrows is left behind. the aeed
person looks eagerly forward to the
celebration of each coming birthday.
The fewer occasions like this one may
look forward to the more each ami
versary means. One who has lived
many years has found how fieeting is
the joy in more material things and
has learned to value more and more
love, affection, and the good will that
comes from the heart. In these fam
lily fetes expense need not and should
not be considered. The simplest gift
selected with care, flower, a card, or
just loving wish carries much that
makes the day happy. A letter or
card TO the absent one, to the "boy
at the front" will be sustaining pow
er for good when lonely, homesick or
forlorn. Let the absent one know he
Is thought Of and cared for. Do not
