An Appeal to You?

! 1t is oplysa short time until the
summer vacation begins for al
| boys and girls in school. What
! plans are being made for them in
order that the time may not be
wasted, so to speak? 1t is a rare
thing for any teacher or any
school to assign enough work to
keep pupil busy third of the
time each day but still rarer is
there any attempt to form a plan
for the enjoyment Of boys and
girls during their vacation. 1t is
not the fault of the teacher be-
cause he already has much more
work than he can do in the given
time. He needs help, support
and re-enforcements. Are you
willing to do your part.
The normal boy from II to IS
is active and inquisitive. He is
bubbllng over with energy, he
has force AMI vitality in abund-
ance. He wants to know the
why and the wherefore, and
too often he must stifle his eager
ness to know certain things.
This should not be the case. He
should be given full opportunity
to express himself every way
possible but he must be kept in
the right track. Why not let him
develop himself more during the
vacation, not only physically but
also mentally? Are you doing
your part to help them? This is
the proposition which | want to
put before you if it meets your
approval your support Is wanted
if you think it all unworthy cause
treat as such. The scouts are in
need of number of Things, we
are poorly suppliedwith the nee
cessary articles for successful
work. They need books to- read
and various instruments which
enable them to ''be prepared"
when anything is needed to be
done. We want 100 books which
relate to outdoor activities, as

LIFE APART FROM MATTER

All this leads to the perception that
there is no life in matter since one OF
the fundamental characteristics Of
life Is continuity of existence which.
as we have seen. cannot be predicted
of matter.
We cannot affect mathematical
truth by anything which may hc done
to the figures nor can we affect the
real life OF anything 10y what we may
do To its material appearing or SYM
boil When figures are written down
Mt random without regard TO law.
they have no meaning, no power. II
is only when they are correctly used
that they express truth or life. So
too when human thought conccives
OF ideas as fragmentary, dscordant,
temporary without Principle or law,
this concept is without substance,
truth, life or power.
II is thus seen that there Is neither
substance nor life In matter or ma
terial phenomena; that our existence
Is not material but mental. "A state of
consciousness, and that truth and life
can only be conceived OF mctaphysi-
cally. on this plane alone can we
onalyze existence logically and intel
ligently, and solve its problems.

the danger Of this method becomes
apparent when we recognize that the
quality of the mind may be evil and
may thus transmit evil. In Christian
Science healing the human mind Is
not factor. for the ealing power is
divine Truth, which dispels error and
its effects. The human Will does not
enter therefore into the operation
even as in correcting a mathematical
error we do not use will-power but
perceive the error As such and apply
the corrective truth.
one OF the cardinal points in Chris
iian Science healing is to recognize
all disease and sin rs mesmerism and
as no more q part OF man than ii is OF
his Maker. the infinite divine Prin-
ciple.

gays;
The good that | would | do not:
but the evil which | would not that l.
do. Now If ! do that | would not, IT.

dwelloth in me"
In conformity with this statement
of the great Apostle, Christian Science
teaches that the evil is act he, man
but Is always impersonal and only
acts in so TAR as it is believed to be
true by deceived human sense. and
this sepa ration between man and false
material belief has 4 very significant

MATTER NOT SUBSTANCE

The chief difficulty in realizing the
mental nature of matter is the belief
that matter is substance. We have
already seen that it Is simply a form
or state OF energy composed OF cleo
irons, and that II is a phenomenon of
lorce Instead of something apart
from force. We know that what is
called organized matter can be de-
stroyed, for any material object can
be reduced to atoms. and, If the
atoms are then separated into THEN.
constituent clcctrons. the object as
such has completely disappeared ana
what remains Is "A theoretical manr
iestatlon of force, mental concept

Of substance is substantially, which
Is defined as being that which is
lasting, that which has real exist
oucc, that which is actual and not il
ldsory This means that substance is
lndcstructlble and permanent. and
matter cannot therefore he real sub
stance, since II is both dcstruCtible
and transitory, it Is relative, not alb
soluto; a mental concept, and not a
substantive actually outside of con
sciousncSs.
Substance is that of which anything
IS constituted, its body. its structure
Hence whatever exists must have sub

idea. If true, has substance. This
substance is not material, 1t is not the
visible figures nor the chalk or ink
with which they have been made,
since these can be destroyed. Its
substance is its truth, right idea
which can never he destroyed. II is
unchanging. permanent it has the
power TO remain itself. The sub

Cally but mentally. Matter. therefore,
Is not substance since II is not sub

substance to physical SENSE

trcmcly important to perceive that

Another difficulty in getting away
from the material sense of things is
the dimcusional concept of existence.
Physical sense can perceive only
finite or physical things. For exam
pie, the dimcnsional concept which
the senses have of mathematical ideas
Is projected as finite, concrete figures
or quantities but 1t is not the mathe-
matical truth which they see, for this
truth Is not in the figures. II Is in
mind and is cogni2ed mentally
through mathematical understandings.
Physical things are but the SYM

SENSE IMPRESSION NOT ABSO-
Lutte But RELATIVE

II is further evident that the char
actcr of our existence depends upon
the character OF our consciousness.
We cannot avoid this conclusion when
We think OF the differences in per-
sonal characteristics. I'm educational
bias. environment, association and
experience and what a widely varying
sense Of existence these differences
produce in different individuals.
Sense phenomena are, therefore, not
absolute since they depend upon the
character Of the perceptive faculties,
both native and educated. which vary
greatly with different people. For
example: let "A tree be viewed by
botanist, an artist and a lumberman.
The botanist views IT from the stand
point Of his botanical knowledge. He
sees its botanical makeup and struc.
tur". ana notices the character of the
leaves, the flowers, the bark. ct cotcra.
The artist Views 1t mainly from
purely artistic standpoint lie notes
the color and form of the tree. and
the way 1t relates itself to its setting.
Coincidentally with this he Analyses
his impression and thinks perchance

must use TO reproduce IT upon canvas
The lumberman sees the tree as so

Of botany or beauty but in board feet.
To him a beautiful branch means a
knot in the board, which reduces its
value.
Furthermore, the so-caled actual
characteristics of the objective uni
verse, size. shape, distance and color,
are not the same to any two persons.
for since the lenses OF the eyes vary,
the image made on the retina also
varies and the resulting mental i'm
prcssiOns are necessarily different,
showing that human perception is
relative, not absolute.
Physics does not explain or ac-
count for anything beyond sense tes-
tlmony, and in order to analyze causa-
tion, we must go beyond the realm OF
the senses, and interpret and correct
our mental impressions in order to

CONVINCING EVIDENCE

There is an old saying that, THE
proof of the pudding is i'm the eating"
When first heard OF Christian
Science and began its investigation,
II seemed to me necessary to deter
mine whether the claims regarding
It's healing were true. therefore
made n very careful Investigation OF
Il number OF cases of healing, fol-
lowed up cases abnormal tumor OF
cancer, Of consumption i'm the last
stages, of shortened limb, OF dislo-
Gated hip, and Others and found In
each case that the physicians dag
nOsis had been correct; that the pa
ticnts We're now well and that no
healing remedy had been used eX-
cept this Science. ] found to my en-
tire satisfaction that Christian Science
heals How the healing was done was
still II mystery but was at least con-
vnced of the fact.
Especially was | convinced when
found that could obtain these results
through my own efforts, the only linz
itation of ability being my degree of
understanding. as is the case in every
science or art.
The fact that some few people do
not seem TO be healed through Chris
tian Science treatment is no more to
the discrcdit of Christian Science than
Is a boys failure to solve IA mathe-
matical problem a discredit to mathe-
matics Both failures are explained
the same way. II is said that Jesus
did not many mighty works" in his
home city because of their unbe-
lief"
when John the Baptist sent two of
his disciples TO dctrrmine whether
Christ Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus
according to Iuke's statement haV-
Ing cured many OF their infirmities
and plaques, and of evil spirits and
given sight unto many that were
blind, answered them. saying:
60 your way, and tell John what
things yc have seen and heard how

lCpcrs are clcahscd. the dear hear. the
dead are raised. and To the poor the
