Think OF the moral courage Of Dan.
icl when cast among the famishei
Hons. lie didn't stop TO think OF de.
vouring beasts. the appalling picture
which material sense presented. He
thought only OF the love and the
power OF God and mans unity vita
Him. Why do you suppose the lions
did not devour Daniel? Simply he.
Vuse his thought was so fully at.
one with the divine Mind that the
bestial apetites felt the restrain.
ing power of Gods presence and
sensed nothing in him on which
10 feed. Think Of the mortal courage
OF Christ Jesus when he raised
Lazarus who had been In the tomb /
Our days. long enough for decompo-
sltion to set In. Suppose he had adj |
mitted for an instant the testimony
OF the material senses as to Lazarus. |
Lazarus would never have come |
forth. II was because he kept his |
thought firmly fixed on the unchang.
ing hormony and spiritual integrity |
OF God and His creation, knowing |
that man as the everlasting expires.
sion of God never dies; that God |
Mind, not matter. Ia the author and |
pfeseryer OF man, and that no physl- |
cal law can contravene the divine |
purpose or deprive OF life for sin. |
gle instant aught that God has |
made.
One cannot be moral coward and |
get far in Christian Science, but II |
our desire is right and our effort |
preserving Christian Science will |
bring strength to the hands that |
seem weak and confirm the feeble
knees. We must learn to face the |
devil and all the hosts of hell if need |
be, know their importance, and re
joice In the allness of God. The |
one power on earth before when
evil cannot stand is that state of
thought so filled with the under
standing of God that it knows evils !
nothingness. On page 4l0 of Science
and Health. Mrs. Eddy has said,
christian scientific practice begins
with Christ's keynote of harmony,
BE not afraid" Paul says, God
hath not given us the spirit of fear,
but of power, and of love, and of Il
sound mind" Fear is belief in evil
and ignorance of God and disap.
pears in proportion to our under
standing of God as divine Love-
ANIMATE ERROR UNREAL
1t is plain that the way of think
ing in Christian Science runs coun-
ter to our past habits of thought,
and at first it may seem as though
Christian Science is asking rs to
deny testimony that is very real
This is because we have blindly be-
lieved that the testimony which the
physical senses offer, which is the
expression Of mortal thought, is not
open to question. But wait minute.
Let us see about this in the light of
the true understanding Of God and
