 GODS THOUGHTS
 And the angel of his Gods pres |enCe saved them," We read in Isaiah.
 We are also told that after Jesus had |WithstOod being tempted by the deNiL
 and all should now be able to see
 that the devil was just what Jesus called him, "a murderer" that which 1 is destructive, and "a liar" that in
 which there is no truth, angels came
 and ministered unto him. What does 1 this mean? Does it mean that CurpO-
 real being with wings healed the
 people spoken of in the Bible, and
 miniStered unto Jesus?
 1 In the Christian Science textbook, |"Science and Health with Key to the
 Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, on page ! 5S1, We read: Angels. Gods thoughts
 passing to man; spiritual munitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, cOuntcracting all evil, scnsuality. and mortality"
 Cannot all see how such angels could and did indeed heal the Chil- dren of Israel, how they could and did minister unto Jesus; how they can heal you and me and everyone, and minister to Us all? Have not all of you entertained just such angels, time and time again, unaWaTcS? Have

 from your brain, or from anyone's
 brain? They came from Mind the only true Mind, God. to inspire, to enIighten you, to bear you up, and to set you up on high Have we all
 been inspired then? Of course we have. Have we always needed these Inspirations? That is the question 1 It is not uncommon to hear that some one is inspired by malice or hate
 Everyone is ready to credit this, but let some one be said to be inspired by God, who is infinite power, intelli- &enCe, Life, Truth, and Love, and de rlSlon and reYiling are sure to be his lot. Is not everyone inspired with Life? If not, how then does anyone 1 live? Are not all inspired by Mind, Truth, Love? If not, how do you eX- press intelligence, how is it that you are truthful, kind, loving? Does this surprise you? Then let me say that you were inspired before you eyer breathed or saw the light of day, and that inspiration is the one essential Of existence.
 Everyone is most particular as to the air he breathes. No one without absolute necessity would for mo ment breathe foul air Everyone is most particular as to the food he eats. what raiment he puts on, and so forth. How much more particular should all be as to what they are in Spired by; for whether the thought that comes to us be good or bad, il is one that comes to us, not one that originates with us, and sooner or later we are bound to express it. Is it pure, beautiful, good, true, the thought of health, of life, of immor talitN, of courage, and of love for all2 If so, it comes from the one true source Bid it welcome; let it abide with you, entertain it, make it your hOnOred and your welcome guest. It comes from God, and is, the word of God, an angel Visitant, sent as of old to heal to minister, to, save. Is that which clamOrs for admission q base, sinister. degraded thought, a thought of want, Encouragement hate, fear, anger sickness, death? Then bar it out, for it will express itself, bear fruit after it's kind. How bar it, say you? By recalling and recalling the thoughts, the angels of God and of His Christ, the truths taught in the Bible by Jesus, empha sized. illumined, and made practical by Christian Science, until these shall be an angel legion round about you to guide you, guard you, and have charge over you.
 How often do We hear the question, How can l help what I think? and the assertion: No one can help what he thinks. We not only can help what we think, but in order to do better, feel better, be better, we must help what we think, for as a man "thinketh in his heart, so is he" and the way that has been indicated, the way that Christian Science teaches, is the only way in which this help can come; the only way under heaV- cn in which men can be saved here, now, anywhere, everywhere, from ills of any kind and of every kind It is the only way in which one and all, irrespective of time, place, vocation, circumstances, can be truly armed and prepared have absolute safety and complete efficiency.
