the natural COTOllaTy4
The many vexed questions concern
ing salvation and touching the pur-
nose Of divine Love toward His chill
/ 6ren are answered through the spir-
litusl embodiment which comes through
the study of Christian Science. Those
/ questions which the searcher for
Truth had been told were too diff
cult to be answered, or were myster-
lies which God in His inscrutable Wis
dom had kept from him, are clearly
and satisfactorily answered and ne
finds them to be things which divine
Love intended he should understand.
4 Now you may accept the statement
| Of Christian Science as good logic.
but you must apply it in order TO
know that it is true. We have shown

imam is the idea of that Mind. 10
what can we apply this fact?
Thought Filled With Love.
Are you believing that sorrow ana
worry and -discord are real and thar
you are suffering from them? Let US
/ dare to say that Mind knows
no such thing, and that you and l,
Gods ideas, can manifest only the JOY
and peace and harmony of the Mind
4 in which we live, for If we keep our
/ thought filled with Truth and Love.
we shall humanity manifest the divine
Mind in harmony and peace.
We have believed in and suffered
from sins--hatred, envy, deceit ana
other evil beliefs, but in spite of their
seeming reality, siet us deny them
any place in our thought, for in real

Have you been troubled in your
business?. The application Of Chris
tian Science to business is. not mys-
terious or occult, neither is it to be
confused with will power or. sugges-
| ton. 1t is the application of thoughts
of honesty, mutual blessing, gratitude
and generosity far above the standard
of thought the business world mas
generally known, and this has
| brought many successful business
conditions where before there mad
| been business failures.
Those wrong physical conditions
which have come through the adnis-r
sion Of the worlds thought of a. ma
terial law Of heredity, are healed and
annulled when we learn that the only
inheritance we have is Of God, and
hence good "One Is your Father,
which is in heaven Those wrong
conditions which have come to us
| through our admission of thoughts or
oontagion and infection are healed
when we learn that nothing but

Mind Provides Abundance.
There are myriads Of difficulties
that have come to us through our ac-

air, and food, and water,-those
things which seem necessary to our
material sense OF existence at this
time,-are filled with lurking curses;
that at every turn some unseen foe is
likely to strike us down. All these
wrong material conditions are done
away with when we learn that Minds
ideas live in the atmosphere Of love
divine" and that Mind provides it's
ideas with an abundance of spiritual
sustenance. Jesus said I have meat
to eat that we know not Of
So there is no condition from which
we have suffered individually, wheth-
er it be mental. or moral or physical,
which Christian Science does not
heal. Then too, Christian Scientists
are helping through right thinking to
heal the wrong conditions from
which the world Is suffering. For
several years past there has been
thought prevalent of destruction.
starvation and want. This thought
entertained by the entire world would
tend to make the agriculturist plant
and cultivate at the wrong time, and
do everything to bring about the
poorest results. It would tend to
make those into whose hands tile
foodstuffs come, hoard them away
from those to whom they should
rightfully go. Christian Scientists
through their understanding that God
is substance and that, because 'overy
good gift and every perfect gift" IS
from this infinite source, there is in
reality an infinite abundance of
every good thing are enabled to
help change this wrong thought and
to bring about a bettered material
condition. .
There has been a thought prevalent
that our young men enlisting in the
cause of liberty are going across the
water and. not coming back. Surely
this wrong thought entertained by
our people will not help to bring them
back ..--
Liberty 49,.
Liberty is the manifestation of
Principle. The Bible says, where
the Spirit Of the Lord is, there is lib
liberty, and when these young men
go forth to protect, to perpetuate that
liberty, are they not entitled to the
protection of the Most High2 When
David went forth to meet Goliath do
you think he had any doubt as to
whether he was coming back? Can
we not have the consciousness of
Gods protection for these men which
the Psalmist had when he said, "A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and
ten thousand at thy right hand, but If
shall not come nigh thee"
It is not sufficient for US to give of
our labor, our money, or our young
men, but we must in addition give our
full quota of right thinking, to the
end that the mental mesmerisn of
frightfulness and aggression which
has been undertaking to oyerrun the
world, shall be chasteneda through the
meekness and might of divine Love.
Careful Not TO Hate
We need to be very careful at this
time that we do not get to, hating
John says, This is the message that
we heard from the beginning, that
we should love one another.
The greatest love which we could
show to a neighbor who had become
so self-mesmerized in a wrong
thought that in his madness he
sought to bring all the rest of his
neighbors into bondage, would be to
go forth and restrain him.

And the kindest, most loving thing
which we can do is to go forth and
