has said II will put my laws into their
mind, and write them in their hearts:
and will be to them a God. and they
shall be to me a people" Christian
Science dispels our false concepts of
God, does away with mystery, super
stition, ignorance and fear. and en-
thrones in man the true consciousness
Of God which shows Him to be all
good, all-powerful, ever available, all
wise, to be the God who presently

ture.
Being acquainted with God. 1t is well
to remember, Is simply state of mind;
in other words. true consciousness. To
know God man must be thinking cor
rectly about God, and that is just what
Christian Science is helping man to do
When the gentle man OF Nazareth
voiced the message, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand" he
voiced the demand of Truth to those
of every age, laboring in the shadow
of ignorance. superstition and fear. Re-
pent simply means to change your
mind. Some men think this privilege,
especially as 1t pertains to religion

Change your mind, change your

God, for now, here, at hand, is to be

MENTAL TRANSFORMATION NEG
EsSARY.
| With correct understanding of di-
vine Mind as the one intelligent cause,
and man as Minds eternal idea, whose
real selfhood is goodness, as the basis
for right thinking, Christian Science
! shows man how to make this truth
practicable in his daily problems. The
method is the supplanting in conscious
/ ness of the temporal and mortal sense
Of life and selfhood with the true and
eternal facts Of spiritual life and man
hood. 1t Is mental Transformation
which gradually exchanges a material
for the spiritual sense of being.
Mental transformation is recognized
by society," as the way of progress and
| reform. All educational effort is but
the supplanting of ignorant and limited
concepts of being with more intelligent
ones. Tyranny and slavery have dis
appeared as rapidly as mans thought
has gained a clearer sense Of the rights
of man. The whole process of men
tai change seems the natural and right
way to better things. And so it is not
only in attaining better things In hu
man society, but in that far more i'm
portant realm Of thought which deals
with mans relationship to God
Through the teachings of Christian
Science the false and limited concepts
of God and man are giving way to that
true sense of being which liberates
from the tyranny of sin and the slavery
of diseased beliefs.
The greatest proclamation of eman.
cipation ever uttered was given by
Jesus when he said, I'VE shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make yor
free" We cannot know what Is true
while we believe what is false. Two
objects cannot occupy the same space
at the same time. No more can ar
erroneous concept of God and the true
idea of Him be in thought together.
