Truth. God being infinite Truth

one or ignorance, or lbgence of un,
derstapding. All the trouble I'm the
world Is due to Misunderstanding. 10
false estimates OF God, man and the
universe. In Christian Science men
are learning neither to ignore evil
nor to be ignorant OF its pretense. but
are addressing themselves to the
TASK or recognizing evil az a lie, elm
mating the lie from consciousne ess
and replacing II with good. Evil Ia
thus losing Its claim upon thought,
as the spiritual understanding of
iod and man Is attained.
But you say, Christian Science
has not done away with evil. It's
'till here, In spite of the uncovering
Of It's nothingness." Ny friends, Chris.
tian Scientists already have made
wonderful progress. we have learn
ed much about the unreality OF evil
and to that degree have disposed of
It's claims. IL ls true that, although
Christian Science shows man to be
the image OF God, perfect and spirit.
ual now, man still seems to the ply
sical senses to be mortal and imper-
rect. Some forms OF evil, when un-
masked, may continue as appearance.
Just IS the sun continues to appear
10 rise In the east, even after one
discovers that II really stands still
and the earth revolves on its axis,
but the Illusion no fonger deceives. In
lie manner, mortality unmasked. IA
shorn OF its seeming power and real.
Ity.
EVIL may SCENT TO have its day, but
because II is perishabie, its destruc-
lion Is Inevitable. Because it is a lie
about something true, 1t must 60 out,
md Truth must be its destroyer. Re
member that truth never DESTROYS
'nything true; It's destructive action
S exerted always upon that which Is
Unreal. For every lie. there is a
rue statement, which will destroy 1t. /
Every time a Christian Scientist ap- !
lilies the Truth TO lie, he destroys

In cleaning out the rubbish of un-
rue theories and building again the
Id waste places, Christian Science is
true constructive force II repeats
he restorative ministry of Christ
esus. whose mission, an apostle said.
'as to destroy the works OF the
evfl," evil, and who went about
ding good" He who was named
avior gave a new meaning to sal
alton. He who came to save His
eople from their sins" applied the
estoratire power of the. Christ
ruth. to every sort of evil; thus he
ealed disease and sin by the same
rocess. As in Jesus time, popular
ieology today views salvation chief
as preparation for the hereafter.
ut Jesus said, Il am come that they
light have life, and that they might !
ave 1t more abundantly." Christian
,ience has restored to humanity the
wing grace OF Christian healing,
-oving that Christianity is a religion
,t to die by, but to live by.
Where, in the scheme of salvation,
,es Christian Science place Christ 9
