tirely different man would be eI-
pressed 10 accomplish good We must
expect to accomplish good, and this
joyous expectancy will be apparent,
for we should go about radiating the
gladness Of living. We read in Pro-
verbs Q7:22l, "A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine; but a broken
spirit drieth the bones"
Christian Science brings the cheer
ing message that there Is an escape
from the evil, a way odt of II all. a
way complete in its salvation. 1t is
the prophets and of Jesus who de
clared the way of salvation to be at
hand. Jesus taught that IL is the evil
which proceeds from the heart that
Injuries a man, in other words, that il
is wrong thinking and not conditions
of matter that must be corrected. In
the degree that man ceases to think
evil and sin, and learns 10 dwell in
good will evil and sin disappear. IL Is
the carnal mind that is at enmity with
the divine Mind. The Scriptures say
that the carnal mind is death; then
az man ceases to think after the a
ncr OF the csrnal mind, he gains life
and health.
The sense OF fear and death came
with the mist that arose from the
earth of material sense as il is related
In the second chapter OF Genesis. II
obscured the heavenly vision which
showed God to be Spirit and man to
be wholly spiritual. Christian Science
Is restoring this vision today in all its
beauty. power. and grandeur. 1t is the
revelation Of truth bringing saliva.

Jesus drew a sharp line between spirit
and matter when he said. God is n
Spirit and they that worship hin must
worship him in spirit and in truth. "

Meeting link between matter and spirit.
He showed clearly that salvation is
found only in the capitalization Of
thought.
II is generally considered that spiri'
tuality is a supernatural. vague, OF
indefinite condition OF being which can.
not be made practical. Christian
Science removes spirituality from the
realm Of the supernatural and imprac-
teal and reveals IL as a normal condi'
ton. Spirituality is right thinking,
and Gun be applied in all Of the detail
and routine Of every day life. Chris
tan Science has taught us that We can
think rightly about all that We have
to do. The remedy for all evil lies IN
the power OF right thought; there is
nothing that a be substituted for II.
Our highest concept OF everything is
the hest hat We cal express; therefore
the more spiritual the thinking, the
more is expressed Of health. harmony,
and better environment. All Is mental
whether upon a good or an evil plane.
The history OF the past is the record
cnt activity is the expression of
thought. The most dramatic event In
all history, rs well as the most tragic,
was the crucifiSion OF Jesus. when the
evil thought OF his time found expires

mankind.
