to look to God for deliverance in every
time of trouble
Mrs. Eddy is known to thousands of
grateful men and women throughout
the world to be the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science, and be-
cause of that, she commands our pro-
foundest reverence and gratitude.
1t was my privilege to know some
thing of her as a loving, unsettled
woman,-the kindest friend / ever
had My father was a deep student
of the Bible, and when Christian
Science healed two members of our
family, he began the study of this
Science and became an earnest Chris
tian Scientist. For many years my
parents were closely associated with
Mrs. Eddy, who was their pastor,
teacher and friend. At one time Mrs.
Eddy spent week at our home, and
then had the opportunity of seeing
her to be a gentle, affectionate woman,
interested in our pets and problems,
laughing with us and sympathizing
with US. yet always mindful of her
great mission to suffering humanity.
Possibly the first step in gaining the
Science of Christian healing came with
her ability to detect in her own mind
the difference between the thoughts
which come from divine Principle, and
the aggressive suggestions of the
flesh, which st. Paul classified as the
carnal mind; for he said: "To be car
NJ lily minded is death; but to be spir-
itually minded is life and peace" Here
are two opposite sources of thinking,
as opposite as God and Satan. The
thoughts coming from God express
the joy and harmony of life; but the
suggestions of the carnal mind seek to
drag one down to sin and death.
Of all the systems of religion OF
PHILOSOPHY known to men, none but
the teachings of Christ Jesus and OF
Christian Science ever have. held con.
sistently to the one spiritual view
point. These teachings, moreover, are
hc only religions that have ever dem

indeed the rule of logic which base
the teachings of Christian Science.
