whom humanity should render tribute
of love and respect.
Simplicity and Consistency
Mrs. Eddy s faith and trust in God
and her confidence in the ever-pres

faith and trust and confidence of a
little child; and this, together with the
courage. strength and zeal of one who
had caught. the .sision Of great pur-
pose, made her the most tender and
loving and yet the most compassion
ately firm and constructive character
of her time.
Application
J., is the will Of God that man should
know the truth, and you may begin at
once in Christian Science to discrimin-
ate between the unreal and the real, be-
tween the untrue and Ngle true, to re
ject and deny the suggestions of false
material consciousness, and instead, to
appropriate as yours today the things
that belong to immortal man, and in the

Relation to World War
We are living today in a period of
Revelation, the unfolding of Christian
Science, which reveals man governed by
Principle, Truth and good.
i is also well to recognize in this
connection that there never has been
revelation of truth without an uncov-
ering of error. Against the autocratic
evils of personal control the nations
Of the world are waging today tre-
mendous warfare, and men and women

best fitted to serve, whether such ac-
tivities are to be expressed in the lines
of armed conflict or in the watehtow-
ers of mind, guarding tina, priceless
trinity in humanity Of thought, word
and action, governed by Principle and
