mission Of the worlds thought of n
material law OF hcredity are healed
and annulled when we learn that the
only inheritance we have IL of GOD,
and hence good. "Onc is your Father,
which Is in heaven" Those wrong
conditions which have come TO US
through our admission Of thoughts
Of Contagion and infection are
healed when we learn that nothing
but blessing can come to us through
contact with Gods children, with
Minds ideas.
Mind Provides Abundance.
There are myriads OF difficulties
that have come to us through our
acceptance OF the worlds thought
that air 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
In 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 pro-
vides It's ideas with an abundance OF
! spiritual sustenance. Jesus said, Il
! have meat to eat that ye know not
I Of"
SO there is no condition from
which we have suffered individually,
/ whether II 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
l several years past there has been n
/ thought prevalent of destruction.
starvation and want This thought
entertained by the entire world
would tend to make the agricultur-
| iat 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
the foodstuffs come, hoard them
away from those to whom they
should rightfully go. Christian Sci
entists. through their understanding
that God is substance and that, be-
! cause every 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 to change this
wrong thought and to bring about a
bettered material condition.
There has been a thought preva-
lent that our young men enlisting in
the cause OF liberty are going across
the water and not coming back.
/ Surely this wrong thought enter

| bring them back.
| Liberty.
Liberty is the manifestation Of
/ principle. The Bible SAYS. where
the Spirit Of the Lord Is. there is lib
erty.' This nation was conceived
| in liberty, and when these young men
| go forth to protect. TO pcrpetuate
that liberty. are they not entitled to
tho rotectiOn OF the Most High?
/ When David went forth to meet Col
iath do you think he had any doubt
AZ to whether he was coming back
! Can we not have the consciousness OF
: Gods protection for these men which
I the Psalmist had when he said. "a
thousand shall fall at they side. and
ten thousand at thy right hand. but
| II shall not come nigh thee"
| 1t Is not sufficient for us to give OF
| our labor, our money or our young
men, hut we must in addition give
our full quota OF right thinking, TO
the end that the mental mesmer-
ism of frightfulness and aggression
which has been undertaking to to
overrun the world, shall be chas-
tened 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 hat
ing. John says, This Is the mes
sage that ye heard from the begin
ming, that we should love one an
! other"
/ The greatest love which we could
show to a neighbor who had become
| 30 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
so forth and restrain him.
Today there Is nation which
through education and environment
has become convinced. become mes
merized by3the idea OF world domi-
nation. Its government sets forth
the belief that il is above moralrlaw
1t conceives 1t to be its mission to
crush out that liberty for which
| democratic peoples have struggled
for centuries. And the kindest, most
loving thing which we can do Is to
go forth and restrain that nation in
its wrong course-and IL only let's US
do II in one way way
But We need to be very careful
that we do not hate. After all, the
only real peace tnat can come 10 the
world must come through loving
one another. And we can only make
this demonstration Of love for our
neighbor as We recognize the fact
which Mrs. Eddy has so clearly and
beautifully stated, that Principle
and idea-perfect God and perfect
man." must he the basis of thought
and demonstration"
We do not condone or love evil. for
sin is forgiven only as il is fOrsaken.
Eventually all men and nations will
cease from their false and sinful be
liefs through the perception Of Gods
perfect man. Let us then look be-
yond mans hatred and malice and
see that Gods child is just the inn
age of his love" for only as We rec
ognize this fact shall we be able to I
make that demonstration OF love for
our neiGhhor, for the true being OF
men and nations, which will enable
us TO say as the Master said, Faith.
er, forgive them; for they know not
what they do"
