tragedy OF human life goeo on. The
recent war raised humanity TO great
heights Of eacfiflce. but The after
math does not reveal Z purified
world, and warfare continues. This
condition exists because Of the false
concept Of God that has been in
stilled into Consciousness from gen.
Grafton to generation. RelieionistS

When We believe that God sends
or permits suffering, that he takes
our loved ones from US - q means
Of disciplining Us, are we not trudg-
ing along with the old theological
beliefs which close the door to the
goodness Of God in human exper-
fence and to the great blessings that
Inevitably follow the recognition
q man a. the image and likeness Of
God?
While In religion the old concept
Of God has been tenaciously held,
there have been progress. discovery,
and invention in connection with all
other things. Christian Science i'm
proves every department Of life and
aids in the accomplishment Of every

stratable knowledge Of God made
practical In right thinking will
regulate business and bring out q
high standard Of business activity.
We all have encountered the con-
dition Of thought called pesStmistic;
Christian Science removes spiritual
ways prophesying evil. This state
Of thought manifests itself in the
many careworn. anxious faces that
we see on the street. IN the cars,
and in all public assemblies. 1t In
duces constant state Of torment
and casts q shadow on everything
with which It comes in contact
II the mental viewpoint could be
changed, an entirely different man
would be expressed. To accomp.
lish good We must expect to ac-
complish good, and this joyous ex-
pectancy will be apparent, for we
should 60 about radiating the glad
ness Of living. ~
Christian Science brings the
cheering message that there is an
escape from evil. a way out of it
all, way complete In its salvation.
It is not q new savior; It is the
savior Of the prophets and Of Jesus
who declared the way Of salvation to
be at hand. Jesus taught that it is
the evil which proceeds from the
heart that Injuries a man, in other
words, it is wrong thinking and not
conditions Of matter that must be
I. corrected. In the degree that man
must cease to think evil and sin
and learn to dwell in good will evil
and sin disappear. It Ii the carnal
mind that is at enmity with the d.
