SEES ONENESS OF MIND

Or Distinctions.
SEES ONENESS OF MIND


any league or union OF nations and
peoples must be founded and a.
clear definition of the true mean
ing of enthroning tho conscience
of the world" were among the,
leading thoughts ably advanced TO
large audience last evening at
the Auditorium by Paul Stark
seeley. OF Portland. Greg. in lee-
ture on Christian Science.
A great moral current is running
through the minds of men and ma
tions. declared the lecturer. and
every thoughtful observer must see
that 1t is toward a oneness of
mind. a common sense of life and
how to live, among the peoples of
the earth. He added that men are
finding little by little their natural
unity, their oneness of being, and
they are finding it In the one COM
mon universal. sense Of life and law
which knows no geographical bar
riers, no racial nor national dis
tinctions in its final development.
Tells of ~worid's Conscienee.s
Speaking of the conscience of
the world" Seeley said: 1T Is this
universal conscience. the common
consciousness of right and. good.
discerned as yet but dimly. yet dis
cerned and obeyed in an ever in
creasing measure, which in its full
embodiment Is God with u.s." the
mind Of absolute, good 1t is the,
house of the Lord and. in the
thought OF the prophet. all the ma
tions of the earth are mentally
flowing into it
How near, how reasonable. and as
Christian Science is proving. how
practical is such a sense of God. for
we see that all rightmindedness Is
nothing more nor less than God
manifest. the fullness of true being
including your being and mine.
America Not Born for Isolation.
The greatest war In human his
tory has but just been concluded,
continued Seeley. THE purpose OF
this great conflict as it finally came
to be most generally acknowledged
was, in the words of our President.
to make the world safe for democ-
racy,' to make possible the further
advance of men on the road of prog
rcss toward that true freedom and
liberty which is to be found in the
Brotherhood of man. America was
not born for isolation and national
self-interest, but to light and hold
aIoft the torch of spiritual light that
shows the way to liberty, justice
and brotherhood for all mankind.
Let us ever keep before US the
fact that there Is but one God and
k,,k that the stems
of progress are taken as we come
nearer and ever nearer to the
realization in our individual, ma
tional and international life of this
great fact OF the common interest,
the oneness of being which unites
and binds, all men in one great
brotherhood. Let us remember that
the adversary is ever seeking to
divide, cause suspicion, distrust and
hate between individuals. classes
and peoples, and SO let us not be
deceived with these suggestions
that deny the unity of good and
scoff at the brotherhood of man.
Quotes Mrs. Eddy.
"On page 467 of Science and
Health Mrs. Eddy writes: Tt should
be thoroughly understood that all
men nave Oht OhC NfOu oiiN
Father, one life, truth and Love.
Mankind will become perfect in
proportion as this fact becomes ap-
parent, war will cease and the true
brotherhood of man will be estab-
lished.' And on page SIS we read:
The rich in spirit help the poor in
one grand brotherhood, all having
the same principle, or Father. and
! blessed is that man who seeth his
brothers need and supplieth it..
seeking his own in another's good T"
