religion. the very first subject TO be con-
sidered IS that which relates 10 God Ever
one must agree that a correct understanding
OF God Is essential as the foundation OF re-
liEion. Any system Of religious teaching
that Is founded upon an imperfect or enron
eous conception Of God must necessarily fail
TO bring TO its sdherents the help and com
fort for which they seek. When We look
about US and see the splendid fidelity Of men
then see how much suffering and failure
they experience and how far short they
come OF attaining the good which they 50
honestly seek II Is a 1air ceduc zion INT
there is something wrong about their under
sanding of God
No offense viii be given. therefore. by
the statement that the average person has
a very indefinite and nebulous conception
Of God II YOU were to ask dozen people
10 tell you who ana what God Is. You would
get q dozen different answers There are
some who think God Is a person How many
people there are who, when they hne=l down
and close their eyes. and revereutly pray
to God have in mind q person. or form
OF an image. TO which they pray And how
many others there are who think OF Coz
as a being OF anger and resentment Wh"
sends failure and suffering TO those Whe
ifsDlease him, And are there not a great
many others who think Of Cod as being
who lives in q FAR on country called fiesiNsu'
and that IL Is necessary for people 10 Ole,
and go there. in order TO see Him
These are only few Of the incorrect be
Iiefs which people entertain about God
Yet. all the while that people have gone
on believing these erroneous things auott
God. the Bible statements concerning nam
have been perfectly plain The Bible says
for instance. that God is Love. and since
He is infinite, He must be infinite Love
Christian Scierce says. Therefore that mn
ME Love cannot be the author Of evil. either
in the form OF sickness or sin and that no
matter what one may think about evil IL
must be accounted Tor in some other way
than as being a part Of the creation OF Coz
The Bible further disclOses that tFod MOI
only IS Love. but is also omnipresent II
that is so. then He IS everywhere Tor that
Is what the word means He fills al space
and Is in place in precisely the SANE
degree and TO precisely the same extent tla-
He is in every other place Does that not
lift ones thought above the concept OF a
limited God ? And IS it not plain that So
long as people believe in a limited God. who
IS limited to His form. dwelling place. of
goodness. they VIII continue 70 suffer rom
limitations with respect 20 me- anu w

Iacity. success. love spirituality ana ever
good thing Christian Science makes plai m
that humanity can nope 10 be efnahcipatsl
from the curse O. limitations iu any an
ALI Of these directions when men and women
shall have given up their false beliefs sOoat

truth concerning His nature and cnaracler-
Christian Science. therefore. pleads lof

OF Cod in place Of theoretical and speculat-
i've beliefs about Him
