which is past" "Oh, that we might the war "Oh, that we might again join with those who were with us then." are the suggestions which fall like rain on the just and unjust. Mortal mind is, of course, peculiar in that, when it looks back on an ex- perience, it usually dwells on all the pleasures and forgets all the pains Were nortals so desperately happy before the war. The answer is un- doubtedly, noi Many times these very people used to say, .'The monotony of this existence is too awful, something mist happen!" and something did hap pen, which in many ways changed their beliefs. but that was all. Mortal mind can never find happiness in its beliefs, for God is the All of happi- ness. The belief in mortal mind is the belief in wickedness which has to be .forsaken both present and past.
 In a dark room one does not see the dust, but when the blind is pulled up the dust is discerned. No wise house. wife wants to pull the blind down again and leave the dust alone. The characterization process called war have pulled up the blind of intro spection for mortal mind in many in stances, but that is no cause for grief and most certainly no reason why any false sense of theology should be per mitted to supply a new blind.
 In Unity of Good" (p. SD we read: "Anatomically considered, the design of the material senses is to warn mortals Of the approach of danger by the pain they feel and occasion; but as this sense disappears it foresees the impending doom and fOretells the pain. Mans refuge is in spirituality, under the shadow of the Almighty" This design of the material senses is dc good. It builds up systems of pro lection from hypothetical dangers. sicknesses, wants and woes, and binds these systems on mems shoulders where they become burdens heavy to be borne. It is always fatal to descend to mortal minds $ efforts to do good, for every effort of this nature must recog- nize the reality of matter, foreSee the hopeleSSneSS of it's task, and sooner or later foretell failure. The present eff fort then in mortal mind to restore that which is past by enedavoring to communicate with those who have passed away. is bound to bear this kind of fruit. As we read in Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" CD. 74): No correspondence nor communion can exist between persons in such opposite dreams as the belief of having died and left a material body and the belief of still living in an or ganic, material body" The effort thus to communicate merely hides mans refuge under the shadow of the AL mighty" Separation is scientifically unreal and any mortal method to over come it as real must simply foretell the superadded pain of further belief in it. Under the shadow of the Al mighty, which is practically the same as the passage rendered in the first cha pter of Genesis. ..in our image, after our likeness here is no sep aration and this Scientific realization is present comfort and strength.
 Under the shadow of the Almighty means in a state of consciousness which recognizes the presence and operative power of absolute Truth, and excludes the possibility of any other cause or effect. Christian Sci ence shows that this is mans refuge and protection from every i'll, today as surely as it was when the Psalmist sang that song of rejoicing which has come down to us as the ninety first Psalm.
