dren of men from every III that

tian Science, religion and medi-
cine are inspired with a diviner
nature and essence; fresh pin
ions are given to faith and under
standing, and thoughts acquaint
themselves intelligently with God.
To-day the voice Of the ever-present
Christ Is arouslng humanity to resist
the claim of power opposed to Life
and Love, God. The potency of the
Christ-mind, which Is mans spiritual
identity, can be demonstrated, when
understood. Christ Jesus proved his
sonship with the Father, and demon
strated his dominion" over the be
lief Of death,-the dominion which
God bestowed upon man, whom He
made in His own image" and like
ness" Genesis l., 23.)
The truth Of scientific being, as
taught by Christ Jesus, and in this
age, by Mary Baker Eddy, is the un-
derstanding Of the supremacy Of di-
vine Mind. Truth Is working through
universal consciousness, stirring the
claim of evil to the surface.
The foam and fury Of illegiti-
mate living and Of fearful and
doleful dying should disappear on
the shore Of time; then the waves
of sin, sorrow, and death beat in
vain.--Mary Baker Eddy (Sci-
ence and Health, p. 203.)
Truth is soaring on pinionS of light
and love, fulfilling her mission Of pur-
flying and uplifting the great world OF
humanity. She Is destroying the hal
lucinations, which becloud the reality
of mans true being, his oneness with
his creator. The understanding Of the
Science of being, or divine metaphys
les, called by Mrs. Eddy spiritual
mathematics" is inspiring this gen.
Grafton with higher ideals. 1t is NOV
ing men to holier aspirations, and to
the contemplation Of their oneness
with creative Principle, eternal Life
and Love,--God.
Mind, Spirit, operating through the
ideal man, bursts the bonds of finite
sense and reveals the glories of in
finite Mind, the supreme intelligence
in whom I'VE live, and move, and
have our being" This is to dwell "ir
the secret place of the most High
and to abide under the shadow OF
the Almighty" psalm xci.)
To those whose life is "hid with
Christ In God" verify "the Son of GOO
is come" and gives the understanding
that Life is eternal, and that man is
immortal.
In this hour, humanity is meeting
the question, "By which influence are
you governed, by Truth or by error
by the spiritual senses, or by material
sense-for 'as q man thlnketh In hi:
heart so is her? The humble Naza
rene, whom all Christians in this era
profess to follow, denounced the false
thought, the so-called carnal mind
which results in sin and death, and
declared he came to destroy the
works of the devil. He further pro
nounced this devil lie from the be-
ginning. "He Iso-called carnal mind
was q murderer from the beginning
and abode not In the truth, be
