ence treatment consists Of thinking
Gods thoughts, seeing creation e.
God sees It; and q God-invested
thought never fails! Suppose you
are confronted with the task of break
ing big rock. You sieze q hammer
and vigorously start your work. Blow
after blow descends, and you note
with some encouragement that even
the surface of the rock has not been
cracked. A friend comes to your
assistance. He hammers sturdily but
APPARENTLY makes no Roadway. Again
you are led to resume the work, nd
keeping steadily at it you at last
see the rock reduced to small pieces.
Which GLOW did it? The last? No,
every one of them did the work. Not
one was wasted, not one failed.
The work Of Christian Science Is
the work of eternity. 1t is spiritual
education. During this process of
education some students pass from
our sight. Did Gods word fail? Were
the blows of truth on the rock of
error in vain? No, thousand times
no! Ask those who fought side by
side with them In the battle. They
will tell sou of the victories won, of
the peace realized, Of the pain sub
dued and the attainment of that spir-
itual vision of Life eternal which en-
abled them all to say, 20 death.
where is thy sting? o grave, where
is thy victory?" Mrs. Eddy writes In
Science and Health (p. 348):
Il have never supposed the world
would Immediately witness the full
fruitage of Christian Science, or that
sin, disease and death would not be
believed for an indefinite time; but
. Of
teaching Christian Science, ethics and
temperance have received an impulse
! health has been restored, and long
evity increased. II such are the pres
ent fruits, what will the harvest be,
: when this Science is more generally
understood"
The Reward of Patient Persistence.
/ Some one may say: 81 have work
ed and studied, but my healing seems
so slow" Yes, some rocks are hard
er to break than others, and much
, patience and perseverance are neces-
, sary in a majority of cases In order
? to win the day. But oh, my friends,
: what dividends are paid In return
/ for all earnest, patient seeking after
Truth How self is subdued and uni
, versal love enthroned! How much
: purer becomes desire. How much
dearer the goal of spiritual sensef
Let us not be weary in well doing"
exclaimed the apostle Paul, "for In

Let US attack our problems each
!. day as though we had never seen
:. them before, putting behind US the
= memories OF yesterdays struggle. Let
- us realize that as our understanding
J, of Science grows, we are able to
: speak to evil with more and more
u authority, and consequently day by
> day are being equipped to be more
;, efficient Christian warriors. Let us
{ claim the Joy and peace which is
{ your heritage and mine, today and
{ here and uow Let us not be un-
i mindful OF the stupendous fact that

o Conclusion.
e You who are bowed down with
y sorrow or disease, with failure, pow
y erty, or sin, take away with you to-
Is night this message: You are Gods
i beloved child You have dominion
L over evil! You are not member OF
D.! the SHINING race Of Adam! You have
II been victimized by the lying argu-
Re ments of the carnal mind, by the
9. false education OF generations! For
q your heavenly Father beholds His
e children now as free, as harmonious
le and as perfect as when the morn
d, ing stars sang together and all the
" sons OF God shouted for JOY"
% And so the man who felt this
r healing touch of truth, as reveal
e ed in Christian Science, is sure to
le feel an ever-increasing sense OF
d. gratitude COR and loyalty to, this
Y. great nation For by the cause OF
le the freedom guaranteed by its con-

&c of this mighty cause was made pos
N sible. In fact the coming OF Chris

In dowed by their creator with certain
