Heaven and Hell.
Thus heaven Is found to be state
of ever present harmony and peace
"A mental state, the door to which Is
opened by the child qualities OF hu-
mili'v, honesty, purity and love. The
opposite OF this condition, called hell,
is dealt with very simply and prac-
tically 10y the teachings OF Christian
Science. II heaven IL not place.

mind, and most persons are able In
measure TO testify to this.
Evil Impcrsonal.
The Bible teaches that II we resist
the devil, he (cviD viii flee from us.
but with material thought this has
been an impossible theory. Evil
would sometimes seem to disappear
only to Tcappcar In another guisc,
and perhaps more subtle form.
Christian Science goes to the root OF
evil or sin and finds 1t to be only
the impcrsOnal and false claim that
there is a power apart from God.
good. This false claim Mrs. Eddy
calls mortal mind, as she says for
want Of better term; and this NOR
tai, material mind Is the same car
nal mind which is "enmity against
God" and what Jesus called n liar
from the beginning.

method that starts from the promise

praCtiCality OF Christian Science.
CHRISTIAN Science Is practical, as
the healed and regonerated every
whore do gladly testify. Christian
Science is a divine law or system of
perfect rules to be proved, and while
the absolute is always possible. no
one must think that he Is expected to
attain it in any other way than by
steps and stages. No one ever does

he is required to give up everything
that seems dear to him before he can
take the first steps in Christian
Science. Growth will forever be
gradual. Any pupil knows that he
must first understand addition before
he can take up the problems of sub
ltraction and multiplication, and any
man or woman knows that he just
naturally outgrows the pleasures OF
marbles or dolls and cannot return
to them. Whatever explains what
, fear, sin, and disease are, whence
; they originate, and how they are &c
bc overcome is cmincntly practical.
