Let us accept the riches OF His uni

told blessings. Let us praise Him
as the lilies of the field praise Him,
and as the heavens and the earth
declare His goodness.
Let us guard the portal of our
thought as we guard our material
treasures. Bolts, bars and watch
men protect the bank and the ware
house. Gold and silver, stocks and
bonds find receptacle behind the
massive iron door of the safe, whose
intricate combination lock resists
the midnight robber. The mansion
in which are mans dearest treas
ures is made impervious to thieves
and supplied with electric burglar
alarms. The greater the riches, the
more uneasy lies the head. All!
mankind has sought out many in
ventions to protect the mortal body
and material possessions, but has
left the portal of thought wide open
for error to enter and govern his
house.

| Wisdom uncovers error. Christian
Scientists are expelling mental enc
mics from human thought, and are
barring their mental doors against
the subtle claims of evil. Wisdom
is condemning this generation and
is revealing the hidden mysteries
of God. Truth is uncovering error
and showing its illusion.
Where is the wise? where is the
scribe? where is the disputer of this
world: hath not God [divine Mindl
made foolish the wisdom of this
world: Human wisdom has la
bored for naught. and must yield
to the divine. Today Christian
Science is operating in human
thought as leaven operates in meal.
Mortals, by the force of Truth, are
| today unconsciously shaping their
creed at the forge of thought.
Truths mighty arguments shall roll
down.
From inland mountain to seaboard
town.
The altar is only awaiting the
hour when all men shall know God,
be one royal brotherhood, and one
Church made free by Love, which
is the law of God. Material thought
is being destroyed by Christian
Science, that the temple of God
spiritual consciousness-may be re-
vealed. Each in his or her con-
sciousness is gradually overcoming
false sense.
1t is said by some that Christian
Scientists are doing nothing. When
the hour strikes, and the shout of
victory goes up. the walls of Jer-
icho will fall. Truth is a silent, dis
integrating force. It is eating into
old theories and traditional dog
mas, and is casting error to the
surface, that it may be destroyed.
Error resists Truth, as Truths po-
throw errors strongholds. The cry
OF the unbeliever attracts the ear.
Hate and malice and self-love mar
The notes of triumph with painful Jar"
Today genuine Christian Scien-
fists, those who follow the teach
ings and emulate the example of
Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy.

of heaviness" isaiah Xxi, 81.
"All the foregleams Of wisdom In santon

Like children, let us look to our
loving Father Mother God, to lead
us in the way of wisdom and under
