The world, to all appearance. was
 never in a greater state of unrest than
 at the present day. Nations are in tur-
 moil, stirred up to a degree they them
 selves are unable to compute. The throp
 Of restlessness and the unsatisfied
 longing after something men do not
 possess Is felt on every shand. Human thought Iages round this or that ma terial hypothesis, deals with this or that so-called material remedy for hu- man disorder, citiciZeS some phase or other of religious belief; but in the end it remains where it was.
 How is this? Why is it that the world does not feel itself advancing speedily and steadily? The bulk or mankind seems to remain stationary while the wheels of progress are
 c;ogged and much hope does not seem to be entertained that there is way out of the dilemma. The same condi- tion. more or less accentuated. has eX- isted at all periods in the worlds his l tory It is due simply to the fact that tEe world is deeply steeped in material l belief Matter is allowed by men to be, i if not entirely, then almost, the only
 thing in existence. That is the cause l of ali the unrest of the world: and it l has been recognized by every man who i has known to any extent the true na- l ture of God
 1 Christian Science holds out to the
 world the remedy fer all it's woes. It l does not say to men that something 1 has already been done for them which ! will relieve them of the responsibility ! of working out their own problems; 1 but it bears to them the message Of Truth and assures them that Truth is | able to deliver them from every i'll which hesets human existence.
 l Now the question which readily 1 springs to the lips of one who is told 1 for the first time that Christian Sci ence reveals the saving truth is: What
 is Truth? It might be replied that 1 Christian Science answers right away and without any ambiguity whatso- ! ever that the beliefs of the human mind are not this truth. What men | call matter and believe to he so power 1 ful Is not real. is not the truth; and similarly what they call evil is untrue, 1 is not the truth. Obviously Christian l Science gives the lie direct to all phys 1 ical-sense testimony.
 | It may next be asked: But what is l the basis of these assertions: does l Christian Science actually ask men to 1 deny the reality of those things which | perhaps they have been taught all | their lives to regard as real? IL does; and the foundation of its refutadon of the claims that matter and evil are real is indisputable because it is based on the absolute truth.
 Christian Science shows that God is | infinite Mind, infinite good. and it re- veals the fact that nothing can be real which is not included in infinite Mind l infinite good. Since matter is conceded
 to be mindless, it cannot be an effect l of Mind and is therefore a false sense of reality of merely false belief of the human mind; and since evil is the op- l posite of good it, too. can only have a | fabulous existense and be also nothing but a false belief of the human mind l Christian Science thus makes a mo- mentous revelation: God is infinite l Mind, infinite Truth, or good, and mat l ter and evil are unreal, false beliefs oi
