and primary ideas. One such primary
idea is this: Mankind is conscious
at least of existence This conscious
ness of existence indicates and inn

there could be no consciousness,
hence no consciousness Of existence
When speaking Of Mind in Christian
Science let ii be understood that il
is not the limited human sense of
mind Wills Is referred 10. nor the
sense OF mind which is supposed to

brain and supposed to be located
within the human skull. but is that

In this realization Of the na,urp
and character of God one becomes
of a peace which tbe
world, or which material sense OF
God, can never give. When one thus
has understood in Christian Science
the omnipresence of God as infinite
Mind, he will not again, at least
