love, and of a sound mind" In each case the exultant note is heard pro- claiming that protection is to be found Tn the secret of his tabernacle" or in thy law" or in "the spirit .. of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"
 Now "the secret of his tabernacle has been revealed by Christian Sci ence. It is no longer a secret. Truth, that is to say, is no longer hidden from mankind. God has been revealed scientifically, so that anyone who has the desire may learn for himself what the nature of God is, how God gov erns His Creation, and what the true relationship is which exists between God and man. Christian Science teaches that God is Spirit or Mind, anG that God is infinite good. Since God is Spirit His creation must be spiritual and must be good. Thus man, Gods image and likeness, is rec ognized to be spiritual and to be, like mans creator, good. This teaching of necessity denies the existence of mat ter as reality, and of evil as real entity or power; for obviously there cannot exist anything real outside of infinite Spirit or infinite good. Matter and evil are thus false beliefs of the human mind. They are akin to the error that twice two is five. But the belief that they are real states of con- sciousness is the cause of all the fear
 sickness and sin which plaques the human race.
 It would be idle to do nothing more
 tlan theoretically to declare the all
 ness of Spirit or good. The object ci
 this understanding should be to rio
 the human consciousness of it's false
 material beliefs. And it is exactly 1T
 proportion to the extent that a man is
 understanding the allness of good that
 l:e is protected agalnst so-called ma
 terial power, against evil, against dis
 ease Mrs. Eddy, the discoverer ant
 founder of Christian Science, on page
 PIC of "The First Church of Christ
 Scientist, and Miscellany states th'
 PC sition with great lucidity. "Thert is no door through which evil cal
 enter" she writes, "and no space fol
 evil to fill in a mind filled with good ness. Good thoughts are an impervi
 GUS armor; clad herewith you ar,
 completely shielded from the atacki
 of error of every sort"
 It will be apparent that there i } practically no limit to the protectini } power of Truth; and Truth is eve ) available, or God is omnipresent Take for example the fact that il cases of sickness the aid of a Christian Science practictioner may be sought What is the object of this? The on : V ho is laboring under a false sense o power called material law ap 1 breaches another who has to some ex tent risen above the truth that spir
 itGal law is the only real law govern ing the spiritual or real man abso lUtely. It is this understanding c : Truth and of Truths activity throug spiritual law which heals.
 Christian Science is teaching me 5 today that they can be healed and pro tected, in exactly the same way a A was taught by Christ Jesus over nine teen. hundred years ago. Truth neve changes. Spiritual law never varie never alters in its mode of ac
 tivity. Divine Principle upholds maj
 His spiritual creation. There nevt 7 vas any break in the continuity
 spiritual creation, because it is pel
 feet. Christ Jesus knew this, and S
 he was able to annul the materia
 beliefs of men, thereby healing u '' sick As Mrs. Eddy has writer T Jesus beheld in Science the perfe, man, who appeared to him where sir
 hing mortal man appears to mortal s IT. this perfect man the Saviour sa
 Gods own likeness, and his corret , view of man healed the sick" (ScienC
 and Health, pp. 476-477.) Similarl = it is this correct view of man. whic protects under every human conditio | When the whole world shall ha, come to understand and acknowleds
 the allness of God. then the words
 Isaiah will have been consummate, ,. My people shall dwell in peaceab Il habitation, and in sure dwellings, al I, in quiet resting places"
