 The Truth That Frees
 The Science of omnipotent Mind, taught in Science and Health, is the
 Science Jesus meant when he said:
 "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth
 shall make you free" What is tho |, truth that is to be known? Manifestly,1 the truth which makes free is the truth about God and man. Christian Science
 teaches as does the Bible, that God is
 Spirit: that Mind, His universe, is q
 spiritual mental universe; and that
 man is spiritual being reflecting his
 divine creator. Christian Scence makes
 a clear and absolute distinction be-
 tween the universe of God, or perfect |
 Mind and the world of sense phe | nomena,-the, mortal, carnal sense of
 existence which mortals cognize 1
 through the physical senses, carrying
 in it's train sin, disease. and death. 1
 Since spiritual existence is the only | real existence, Christian Science classi- 1
 fies the world of sense phenomena as
 unreal, false, and therefore in fact, |
 nothing but illusion.
 How do we know the spiritual IS
 true and the sensuous false? We know
 by the test of demonstration. As the
 perfection of God, His holiness, beauty, wisdom, and power, dawn upon the iliumined thought, we are divinely as sured of their reality. On the other 1 hand, the eVanescent and Elusive char acter of the world of sense phenomena | becomes more and more clearly ex- posed and gradually fades from con- seriousness. Furthermore, the more
 clearly We comprehend the things of i Spirit, the more surely and completely
 we can heal sickness, overcome sin. 1 and break the bonds of evil. God IS ! love" said the beloved disciple; There
 is no fear in love; but perfect love l casteth out fear and Love likewise
 casts out all that is unlike love and enthrones peace and harmony in un
 disputed control
 Christian Science Destroys Evil
 When we come in contact with the | world about us we are confronted at
 once with the phenomenon of evil. We
 note it's destructive character. It man
 ifests itself in myriad forms of pam, | poverty, and death. Did God create or i permit this destructive element? No,
 God is good. He is not the author of 1 evil. Darkness is not farther removed from light than evil from good. Is evil then self-created? No God is the
 only creator and is ''of purer eyes than
 to behold evil" Christian Science
 clears up the mysticism of evil and
 shows that evil in whatsoever form
 it presents itself is false claim
 operating through the five physical : senses. When we see even faintly the omnipotence of God we never again : fear evil as we did before. Why? Be- , cause we have dethroned it. Holding steadfastly to the omnipotence of God , evil immediately shrinkS in size. It is no longer menacing. We see it as it Is, a lie and a liar, projection of false l mortal belief-nothing more. When we l find-for instance-that discourage ment is trying to enter our conscious ness and rob us of peace we can at 3 once turn on the intruder and cast il l out: and if we steadfastly shut out even that one lie we shall have ad f vanced many a league in our march !, heavenward. And when we daily stand : at the door of thought refusing ad-
 mittance to every whispering of evil ' and admitting only the ideas of hOli- 1 ness and purity we are approaching l that perfection of thought which Jesus = knew when he said: The kingdom . of God is within you.''
 !. Creation Spiritual and Perfect f Now human knowledge claims tha n man is mortal, that he is of the earth f earthly" and that death and the gray, Il are inevitable But this is not tru, e in the presence of God and scientifi, e reasoning proves it's falsity. Tn tn s Science of omnipotent Mind or Chris = tian Science. man is taught to reasol :, from the basis of perfect Spirit. Per Q feet Spirit can create only perfect | ;ri4 to1 hCin g ifest the qualities, and partake of tn t, nature of Spirit. In the first chapte 't of Genesis which so fully describe e the spiritual creation, we read,-"S - God created man in his own image, i Q the image of God created he him. l. And in the last verse of the same cha D ;t ter it says that God saw everythin d that he had made, and, behold, it wa IS very good Man. therefore is spirit d ual and perfect. But the second chap
 ter of this same book describes tn ;e creation of another man, the Adam
 man, formed from the dust of tn 70 ground. Manfestly, both these ac )f counts cannot be true, because if ma er is spiritually created he cannot h H. dust-created.
 > Now Christian Science makes clea le that there is a vast difference betwee or man.-the image and likeness of Got of and the mortal, human concept calle el man. Christian Science accepts th Y fact that only the spiritual man ca T. be the real man and that we have Il B. more evidence that man is a creatui le of dust, the victim of old age, deca a and death, than we have that the su S. rises in the east. The whole fabr m of material reasoning regarding mol D. tai man is based entirely on the ev D. dence of the five physical senses-ev ce dence we know to be misleading ar at erroneous. Knowing that all huma CT ills originate in the Adam dream th or man is mortal creature of the dus We the Christian Scientist rises abo'
 sense evidence and recognizes that Gt ng is Love. as the apostle declared; tn ok He is omnipotent good: that His un nd verse is harmonious. perfect, etern; to and that man cannot be enchained e. false conditions, but is forever fire an upright, strong. forever conscious en his liberty as a son of God.
 ed Control of the Body
 n- But it may be asked, Is it possib on that my body can be controlled al nd it's diseases healed through the DOW
 of omnipotent Mind? My friends,
 is not only possible, but it is the on on genuine healing of the body that w cd ever accomplished. All diseases a ok the result of diseased thoughts. Ht IS: absurd to attempt to heal the body he drugs. which are inert, mindless. as led n....1lees. -atter could bridge the gl Eh between matter and Spirit and usu nI the prereyative of God to heal man 'he his diseases. The body is merely ich expression of mortal thought and is la; servant, S@ a master, and it mamie! the whatever state of thought the int ,-,A 3n; ha1;
