over many things. There are null
titudes of people who in times of
great need have turned 10 Christian
Science and found relief; then, either
afraid or ashamed to acknowledge
the Truth openly, they continue TO
drift along under the Influence of old
i theology and materia medica and find
themselves making no progress with
perhaps discordant conditions recur-
ring. Why halt We in the valley of
decis!oue In blackstone is a saving

eth no bedfellOW. 1t is equally true
of Christian Science. One cannot ad-
vance in Science and still hold 10 the
old theology and material medicine.
Christian Science is the truth about
God and man. II is equal to the So
luton of every problem. As we study
it and are ohedient to it our capacity
for receiving and understanding in
creases, and the confusion of thought

illustration Late one afternoon as
l was leaving my hotel to keep lec-
ture engagement in a New York su-
tip1n for
an evening meal so on the way 10
the station l purchased a sandwich,
eating it as | proceeded to the sta

, consumed, two friends confronted me
, whom I had never seen before-a
, man and a dog. The dog stopped and
} looked up into my face, and the man
stopped also. Supposing the dog
: wanted the remaining morsel of
= sandwich, I gladly offered it to him.
l He did not take his eyes from my
r face, moving his nose over so that it
/ touched the bread, but he would not
I take it into his mouth. After mo-
I ment his companion spoke up and
y said: He will not take food from

, my breath l said: "Oh, 1 thank you,''
e and proceeding to the train | said to
e myself. when will I learn to be
4 as obedient to my Master, Christ, as
Y that dog is to his master? If | would
t refuse to take food from any hand but
= my Masters l would not be poisoned
n any more with sin and sickness" And
e so through the obedience of this hum

s made the real dog had learned a lit
