Mrs. Eddy was a genius OF the very
highest orler.eSince the early Chris
tian era there has been no instance
eHnaI to it. The rtcognttion OF una
genius will ultimately be universal
y because it will be seen that the quar- |
lily of 1t. being spiritual, far tran
sends every other form OF genius
known to the world.
The Church of Christ Scientist
- She established the cause of Chris
tian sclenen and gave to the move
ment the church organization for tho
protection of humanity and for the
purpose OF perpetuating this Science
of3Ghrist unadulterated. This church
which she named the Church Of
Christ Scientist, is an Organization
with lHg ulterior aor hidden motives
or d$siens. 1t has no phlitical pur-
I poses nor affiliations. no\ system o.
+ rewards or punishments. \It is pure
ly Christian in all it's ACTIVITIES. for

Seeing the granduer of Christian
Science. therefore. fulfilling as ii
does the mission of any adequate def
milton OF both science and religion
it is not strange that it should be on
clrcling the globe, because ii is
greater than the globe or anything
else. 1t is the science of that sii-
vine and infinite Cause upon which
everything depends and i'm which
everything that is true in the uni
verse originated, and by which
everything which is true is sustained
and perpetuated. 1t must eventu-
ally control the world. 1T could moi
do SO as personal influence or desire
and any tendency upon the part OF
human beings to so restrict Chris
tian Science would be to delay its |
full demonstration of blessing ans |
peace for humanity. Its divine CON
troll humanity illustrated can only be
proved and experienced through the |
unselfish recognition and dem
onstration of it's divine prin- |
ciple in human hearts and lives |
Manifestly such science can form |
no adjunct to ordinary education !
and knowledge. 1t is not less thar
anything else, but greater than all |
things. 1t is necessarily basic TO al
right knowledge, and must be SC
recognized by those who would dem
onstrate it.
Influenced by mere traditional be
lief and fear some people believe
that the signs of these times indi-
cate the end of the world Such
views rest upon material beliefs
When you read the Bible in the light
which Christian Science throws upon
it you will see that it is only the end
of error that is prophesied, This is
not an event to be feared, but is
desirable in every way, and we
should help TO fulfill such prophesy
by gaining the enlightenment essen
'tial to its fulfllment.
Peace
With no understanding of God as
divine Principle. human beings are
subject to fear, and fear in turn he
gets envy, hatred. malice, revenge
false pride and mad ambition. all Of
which are the brood of evils that
make war. III we are entertaining
any of them in ourselves it would be
vain for us to pray for peace to come
to others. The eficacious PRAYER of
Christian Science begins to eliminate
these elements from our thought
and lives. When they shall cease
from our lives and no longer find
lodgment in our consciousness then
we have established peace on firm
foundations. The help OF such prey
er, though it appears personal, really
extend to all mankind. 1t is therefore
possible that we who are here. if we
pray in this way faithfully, may lie a
real peace society, the magnitude Of
whose influence shall be incalculable.
All may join US in this constant self
examination and correction by which,
and by which alone. war shall be
made to cease. Such peace society
needs no organization and no shrine.
but, my friends. it does need faith
fulness. Establish 1T in the sacred
realm of unseltlsh thought, for that
is it's temple. There you can help
the nations by reducing the sum total
of wrong beliefs which constitute
their fear There you gain the
Christ likeness, the"Lo, am with
you a1way, even unto the end OF the
world" There in the temple OF right
thought, which the Bible calls the
temple of the Holy Ghost, you Will
discern the angels which the Bible
speaks of, and which Mrs
Eddy in Science and Health thus de-
fines: Goods thoughts passing to
man; spiritual intuitions, pure and
perfect" These angels are knocking
at the door OF consciousness Let
them in. They will go with you to
your homes, to your business or other
daily duty They will guide your
hand and direct your feet. They will
give you wisdom and courage in the
hour of trial or difficulty. They will
comfort, sustain. protect and heal
you. These angels come only in the
glorious realm of Mind There
where everything that is beautiful is
to be found, there where music and
poetry and art and all that gladdens
even human existence is to be dis
