kingdom of God can only come or earth, as she points out, through ar enrlching and governing of mans af- tections by Principle.
 Christian Science has not come ro orlng peace to material beliefs. but n sword; it has come to give us such q sense of the majesty and might of Principle as will endow us with inc courage to battle manfully against the raise domination of the carnal mind. ''ur daily and unceasing prayer should ne for that cleansing of ourselves from secret faults. for that fidelity and yjr- tue which marks the man after Gods own heart. Prayer in it's best sense is truly commGnioA with God with in 'teltlgepce. quiet and deep recognition or Loves presence and protecting care the desire and the. effort to use the gifts which good bestows and the conse. quent denial and rejection of every mortal fault and weakness Its po- tency is expressed in right activity Salvation from evil can only come through knowledge of good-a knowl. edge of good so clear and certain that one applies 1t unhesitatingly to hu- man affairs and proves it's efficacy in destroying the appearance of evil

 Never, believe, in all human his- tory was there spread before the as- sembled nations-as in an open book such an explanation and astounding revelation of the false nature of evil as is presented in the present crisis in the worlds affairs.

 Behold. here is the parting of the ways and we have named the name of Christ that is. have acknowledged the nature the character nf loff oh ioe in the matter; we must walk the straight and narrow path of loyalty and duty Today we are, indeed, being weighed in the great balance of wisdom anc Love. May we as nation not be founc wanting. but. on the contrary, be found with deep and rich and growing af- lection for the things of the Spirit with the capacity and power and will to 4p hold Principle in every deparment of life Do not forget that your 'eyes have seer the glory of the coming of the Lord and that today and bere.
