 All over the world men and nations are striving after self government of some sort or anther. They are over- throwing kings and emperors. setting up new governments. adopting and amending constitutions, and they are achieving these results in ways vary ing in accord with the progress they have made out of materiality. Some are achieving with machine guns, oth- CTS by genuine elections. And all the while, right where this tumult and shouting is going on, there is ideal government already in existence, now and always established.
 For, as Mrs. Eddy says on page 106 of Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures: Man is properly self governed only when he is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, di- vine Truth and Love-" And again on page 125 of the same book: Reflect ing Gods government, man is self governed" Man reflects exclusively one boundless intelligence, the infinite consciousness, or God. This intelli- gence is the divine Ego, the limitless AM. Man, created and controlled completely by his Maker, is governed by this one infinite intelligence. Thus, faultless government is here today, now, and it is unchangeably good in its perfectly unfolding variety.
 And, truly, all the present struggles of the world in its bolshevistic, it's so- o,a ,fe of all kinds, make up the birththroes of the world in the bringing forth of | it's better understanding of genuine government. But upheaval and revo- lution are not required to set up true government, for the real sovereignty 1 is even now in control Men, turning constantly, again and again, to prin- ciple, would experience real revolution The nations that have reached the highest human sense of true ruling al 1 the present moment are in genera experiencing the least difficulty. An6 in proportion as they cling steadfastls to improved understanding of govern. ment, and seek higher and higher con cepts, they will continue to go calmly and gloriously on.
 Principle and it's idea is all the gov. ernment there is. infinitely good in al it's beneficent forms. Therefore mel need only to look to principle for ever, phase of governmental activity. Wha sum total of legislative, executive, jul dical and constitutional activity is in cluded in the wonderful statement o the one mighty authority which i even now being disclosed to the world as given in the Christian Science text book, Science and Health. There Mrs Eddy says (page 340): "One infinit God, good. unifies men and nations constitutes the brotherhood of man ends wars, fulfills the Scripture, 'Lov thy neighbor as thyself'; annihilate pagan and Christian idolatry-what ever is wrong in social, civil, crimina political and religious codes equalize the sexes; annuls the curse on ma and leaves nothing that can sin, suf fer, be punished or destroyed" Thi limitless government, the one infinit mind, is executive in unifying men an
 nations and ending wars. It is legis lative and judicial in annihilating in
 justice and evil in social and civil GUS
 toms and enactments, in criminal, DO
 litical and religious laws and promul
 gations. It is truly constitutional i |, equalizing the sexes. The one prin
 ciple and law giver is the all-sufficier
 and ever active sovereign of His imag and likeness.
