not think that everyone who sings
those words Is brave" and free"
They are not all brave enough to
obey Gods law, to love and trust their
heavenly Father to feed and clothe
them. Christ Jesus told them that
God would feed and clothe them as He
clothes the. lilies, If they would obey
the law of Truth, and love their neigh
bors as themselves. You and I know
that lots Of people are not free. They
may think they are, because they are
not slaves, nor in q prison, but they
are slaves to belief In n power op-

lief of life in matter instead of the
understanding Of Life in Mind They
are slaves to fear that they may be-
come sick, or poor, or die. This fear
Is a death-thought and only the Life
and-Love- thought can destroy fear
The Bible says, "Fear hath torment" I"
Paul speaks Of 'them who through
fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage" Christ Jesus

heavenly Father. our creator, is Life
and Love and Truth, and that there
Is no death. Some time everyone
must learn about the Principle of be-

law Of God" The Bible tells US that
"God is light, and In Him Is no dark
ness at ALL" that Is, no sin, no sick
ness, no death, for all these conditions
come from wicked thoughts, which
also cause war and they do not belong
to God nor to His children. This
anthem begins thus:
