deduction, and so ii is absolutely nee
essary to get back TO the truth about
life itself, in order to have any basis
for right reasoning.
The great mission of Christian Sci
ence is TO teach us TO think accurate
| ly, independently, spontaneously. and
to reason honestly from the standpoint
of understanding of true causation
| This ability to think clearly and cor

law of divine Principle and so 10 de

be malicious, destructive, hateful. and
hating, and from this suggestions
source spring all the principalities and
powers Of materalism-the tyranny
and domination of sensual and selfish
aims and purposes. | urge upon YOU
the persistent refutation of this calum-
ny of error from the standpoint of the
utter falsity of its origin.-from the
standpoint of the absolute. scientific
knowledge Of Life. In this process Of
acknowledging Truth and denying and
correcting error we discover that
knowing of the truth which is to make
us free, and through this educat ional
process which Christian Science de
mands we are led to reject promptly
