or creed. If anything new comes to him. he Is apt to deem 1t some insane or foolish inconsistency, some infringement upon the Scriptures, or some new att tempt of the evil one to win him from his God
 Christian Scinece is not a discovery of a new truth, but new discovery of an old truth. It is as new as the in fant thought, and as old as "the Am cient of days" It was, before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Before Abraham was, was Christian Science; yes-- Before the infant earth was cradled in
 the sun,
 The Science of being spoke from her
 eternal throne
 Twill ever he new,
 Twill ever be old,
 Twill ever be telling,
 Twill never be told
 If one shall say, My religion Is the religion, because 1t Is the oldest religion on earth, and my church is the church. because 1t is the first church militant, then must divine Science say: My relg- ion is the religion, because it is religion Itself and is therefore the religion of heaven and earth, and is as old as be- ing or existence is; and my church is the church because it is the church tri- umphant; the church of the ever living God and co-existent man.
 LAW OF DIVORCE PRINCIPLES
 Christian Science Is the law of divine Principle, and is therefore the Science of sciences, the religion of religions, and the church of all churches. It is not the gleanings from every other relig- ion. It includes and comprehends thea hafr lgion will be found to be gleanings from divine Science. and must eventual ly gravitate back to the one scientific fact Of perfect God and a perfect ere ation as the basis of every conclusion What primarily was true, will always be true; is all that is true, or ever will be true.
 Christian Science makes no unreason- able claims upon the modern world; it's claims are based upon the modern world; it's claims are based upon the spirit of Love, and this is reflected in health kindness, charity, and good will to all. It comes as it came to the shepherds of old, heralding Ion earth peace, good will toward men" It comes as 1t came to Jesus the Christ, not to rob or to plunder but that they might have life. and that they might have it more abund- antly." It takes nothing from the world, but gives all to the world In the place of war we find peace; and universal peace Is raised to the dawn of that glad day when all shall dwell together, one shepherd and one fold"
 Instead of quarrels and dissensions, we find friendship and kindness; and the standard of friendship and brother ly love Is raised to Gods kingdom .in earth. as it is in heaven" Instead of divorce and separation, we find oneness and union. Happy homes and peaceful are raised to higher standard of union and a more perfect bond of love. The sick are raised to health, and the healthy are raised to a standard of health far beyond their present conception The ] blind are restored to sight, and the see ing grow into a more permanent tyne of seeing. The deaf are restored to hearing. and the hearing find a more improved kind of hearing The lame are made to walk, and those who walk have a greater reliance on the ability to walk. or they learn to walk in wis doms ways.
