1t will be noticed from this state
ment that the greatest number OF en-
listments were boys eighteen and un-
der. In great number of cases these
boys became officers before they were
twenty, some of them even reaching
the rank of captain. The methods of
war have so changed that in future
armies there must be far greater
portion of mature men. There must be
a large number who can handle the in
tricate, complex and death dealing
machinery and engines of destruction.
But as far as the civil war was con-
cerned the fighting was done by boys,
and the phrase "boys of '61" is a lit
eral expression of the truth and not
metaphorical. There are still 100000
of them alive.

where we read. I'VE are the children of
God: and if children. then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint heirs with Christ
Every one knows that when an estate
is left to heirs, jointly, they take ~
share and share alike. If we are istnt
heirs with Christ. we have inherited the
same spiritual being. the same life, the
same immortality. 1t is through the
understanding and apprehension of our
real being that we rise above the fears
and material beliefs Of the carnal mind.
In this way Christian Science heals the
sick, regenerates the sinner, destroys
fear and brings peace in place Of dis
cord
Jesus said, Come unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden and l will
give you rest" and Christian Science is
teaching the human race that the true
way to come unto him is to live the life
that he lived, to manifest the love that
he manifested. and to demonstrate the
truth that he taught. In his way it has
helped many people to find rest, and
peace, and health.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1917-02-14

From the foregoing consideration of
the subject of man, and of the difference
between spiritual man and the material
man, it is obvious that there are certain
questions concerning the nature and
character Of matter that may be exam
ined with much profit.
Since the material man is only the
carnal minds mis-concept of man, it
follows that matter has no entity, and
is in every case nothing but material
thought objected, Christian Science
shows that "theresis no life, truth. in
telligence. nor substance in matter

and 10. and that, Matter has no sch

Jesus knew that there was no SUBJ
stance in matter, and he knew it so per-
fectly that he walked through solid
doors and walls. He knew what was
true about matter, namely, that it is
only the manifested belief of the ma
terial, carnal mind, and since he did not
have that material mind; matter did not
appear to him as substance. - His con-
seriousness was spiritualized He knew
that the only substance Is Spirit, but

xS0Q0E4O0C0
Outside of Christian Science very few
people have ever reasoned out the ques-
ton to their own satisfaction as to
where good and evil come FROM and
still fewer have even a satisfactory the
DRY as to how good may be secured or
evil avoided in actual human expert
ence.
All through the centuries there has
heen a widespread belief that good and
evil come as the result Of luck or
chance, but this belief is necessarily
incorrect
Among all polytheists. or those who
believe in many gods, there is the belief
that some of the gods send good and
that others send evil, and they seek to
propltlate the latter by sacrifices and
rites. believing that in this way alone
they can escape from evil
Among monotheists, or those who be-
lleve there is but one God, there is the
belief that the one God creates and
sends both good and evil. This belief,
however. involves so many impossible
contradictions that it has led actually
being called "devil.' who is supposed to
create and send evil. Thus to escape
the belief that God sends both good
and evil. those who call themselves
monotheists are really polytheists, for
they actually believe in a God Of good.
ana IN an evil power, or devil. This
in turn makes it necessary for them to
determine in belief the sphere of ac-
t1vlty and the relative power of EACH
Since the Bible declares. however, that
Goa Is OmnipOtent. that is. that He has
all power. monotheists have come gen.
orally to believe that such power as the
devil is supposed to possess has been
conferred upon him by God, and that
God permits the devil to send evil In
the form Of sickness. sorrow, sin and
death, to aftlict and destroy human be-
ings.
Without going further into the mat
ter than merely to state the case, it will
thus be seen that there is much con-
fusion of belief among Christians and
other monotheists concerning the nature
and origin of both good and evil and as
to what causes their activity in human
experience, and until this is corrected
