In her. book fundamental Divine
Science" Mrs. Eddy answers the ques-
ton, What is the Principle of Christian
Science?" in these words:-"It is
God, the Supreme Being, infinite and
immortal Mind. the Soul of man and
the universe 1t is our Father which
is in heaven. 1t is substance, Spirit,
Life, Truth. and Love,-these are the

Contrast, if you will, the guidance
of divine Principle through law, with

filled with idols fashioned by the hand
of man. Not long ago severe drought
afflicted the city, and for many days
