range of their thought.
Science and Health with Key to th
Scriptures" casts more light on the il
spred Word, and is more highly Scicr
tifc work than any book that ever wa
written. No other book has ever state
Truth so clearly, and so unwaveringl
and scientifically as TO rebuke sin an
sickness in all their forms and max
them disappear.
Book Teaches Pure Science
This book teaches pure Science; il doe
not teach a mere belief.
When Mrs. Eddy discovered Christian
Science she gave up her former opinion
and ideas concerning God and man, an,
wrote nothing but the unfoldings of Sci
ence, from the basis of the one dvin
Principle--God.
Christian Science is not another reli
gious belief; it is Science, and Science Il
something to be understood and demon
strated, not merely believed.
Christian Scientists cannot properly
be termed simply believers in Christian
Science, any more than a mathematician
could be called mere believer in mathe
MATES. They are students of Christian
Science; they are studying TO understand
Christian Science, but not trying to be-
| lieye it.
| They soon see that their beliefs do not
change anything; that what IL true, is
| true whether they believe it or not; but
| if they would get the benefit of it they
must understand 1.-THE same in the
Science of being as in the science of n1.n-
bers.
No teacher in mathematics, after dem
onstrating proposition for pupil, ever
asks that pupil whether he believes it;
he asks him if he understands it, know
ing that his belief or disbelief will not
change the fact and what is true in the
science of numbers in this respect is EN-
phatically true in the Science of being.
Christian Science is got made up of
mere personal opinions. 1t is the Science
of being; and like the science of numbers
it never asks what we think about 1t, or
how we feel about it, or whether we like
ii or not
Ii never changes to suit our likes or
dislikes; it never varies one iota to graf
fly any ones particular wishes or de-
sires; no difference what your rank, how
exalted or how abased, how rich or how
poor, or what your seeming needs may
be, or however much you beg for assist
ance.
But, from its interchangeable laws of cor
rectness and right, it stands as unmoved
and relentless as the science of numbers,
and from its great heart of Love is say
ing, you must come to me, ! cannot
come to you. You must concede TO my
! cannot concede to yours.
Il have eternal Life to give but you
must needs surrender all false belief to
get it,"
1t grants your right desires, and every |
human need, but they must be given in
Gods way, and can only be your way |
when you have conformed to His.
Christian Science is based on the one
good: hence is good alike to
all, and changes not for any.
Therefore it should never be read with
The question before us, whether we are
going to like it; but, Is it true? is the
question to be considered.
1t should never be studied with the
dea Of liking, or disliking it, as though
,ur likes or dislikes, our acceptance or
election would in any way affect the
'reat fact of being.
What matters it whether we believe
hat one half times one half is one
ourth? If we reject it, does that prove
false? Or if we accept it, does that
make ii true?
Does our acceptance or rejection alter
he fact that can be scientifically proven
nd practically demonstrated?
Likewise, in divine Science, what mat

is true spiritual being, by his relation
nd sonship to God-the Fatherhas for
is inheritance, perfect, unchanging d
ealth. sinlessness, and everlasting life c
'ocs our acceptance or rejection alter the
act, that can be and is found logically /
rue, and by practice is being demon
rated? G
This fact is being proven and dem 5
every day and every hour,
nd mankind is being healed, not only o
his physical ills and personal sins, but b
being corrected of such things as sick a
ass and sin.
Not only mankind, but the whole L
aterial universe is being benefited r.
trough the teachings and demonstra- p
ons of Christian Science, and this brings 0
is kingdom on earth and His will, as it b
in heaven. b
"The wolf also shall dwell with the II
NIB, and the leopard shall lie down with

I'd the failing together; and little al
lid shall lead Them n,
"They shall not hurt nor destroy in "a
my holy mountain; for the earth shall
full of the knowledge of the Lord, as ec
e waters cover the sea" o,
Christian Science is the Science of tc
fe; it includes and comprehends the 81
st infnity of being and rejects all that
unlike the one perfect being that is W
'd-the absolute and only good re
IL is not something that Mrs. Eddy has si
,ated or invented II is what she has he
.covered and given TO the world, and III
r il we owe her more than we shall 10
er be able to repay.
Right here let me say, we are not try fc
: to repay her by personal worship, ia
foolish alteration; we are trying in ey
re practical way, by seeking to un TO
stand the Science she has discovered co
d impaired to the world, to live it if
ly and hourly, and never to soil it by DO
r own opinions and beliefs. in,
christian Scientists never talk their
Mon; il does not become a Scientist We
be telling what he believes regarding COZ
ence, for Christian Science is not made vi
of beliefs, opinions, and dogmss. 1t ses
