THE TRUTH THAT FREES

Jesus meant when he said aye shall
know the truth and the truth shall
make you free" Now what is the
truth that is to be known? Manifest
ly he truth which makes free is the
t nth about God and man. Christian
Science teaches, as does the Bible,
that Go dis Spirit; that the universe
Ter Mind is q spiritual, mental uni
y erse: and that man is spiritual be-
ing forever rejecting his divine Gre
'ator. Christian Science makes a clear
and absolute distinction between tho

feet Mind, and the world of sense
phenomena-the mortal, carnal sense
nf existence which mortals cognize
through the physical senses, the fruits
Of which are sin, disease and death.
Spiritual existence is the only real
existence. and the world of sense phe-
nomena is unreal, false, nothing but
| illusion. Are you aware, my friends,
that was revolutionary position to
take. and Mrs. Eddy was the first
thinker to take this position since the
days of Jesus of Nazareth and the
carly Christians? The question at IS
sue is not whether or not the teach

tionary, but are they true? How do
we know the spiritual is true and the
sensuouS false? We know by the test
of demonstration. AS the perfection

we begin to understand God. the evan
escent and Elusive character of the
world of sense phenomena becomes
rlore and more clearly exposed, anc
.radually fades from consciousness.

| things of Spirit the more surely and
completely We can heal sickness, over
come sin and break the bonds of
every evil. God is love- said the be-
