 Was not this thought in the mind of the wise man, king of Jerusalem. when | he wrote a long time ago, flor in much ! wisdom is much grief, and he that in-
 creaseth knowledge inereaseth sor-
 row."
 Mortal mind is full of fear doubt, | anxiety, envy. hatred, malice, and what | not of all this evil brood. It is nc | wonder that man governed by mortal mind is sick. Every so-called disease | is some phase of mortal mind. fear. ! ignorance or sin. Jesus early in his l
 ministry told his disciples that they ! had power over this enemy and this is l easily understood, for everyone can | see that in proportion as he becomes
 enlightened he has power over ignor- ance, especially when he perceives that this ignorance has constituted his
 own mentality This is what Jesus
 meant when he said At another time,
 "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free"
 As Christian Scientists, il is our mission, our constant effort and prayer
 to have always in us that Mind which was also in Jesus Christ As Mrs. E<dy says Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring. the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience approximately to their occupancy of your thoughts,

 this perhaps what the prophet of old
 had in mind when he said of God. Thou art of purer eyes than to be-
 hold evil and canst not look upon
 iniquity?"
 Unreaity of Evil i This brings me to a discussion of the 1. unreality of evil, for which teaching Christian Science has sometimes been criticized. What a wonderful world
 this would be if it could be rid of evil and 1t can be. Evil is only in our consciousness and if NC can under stand that it is unreal we shall be rid of it. All will agree that God is good
 and that He has all power; and being ' good and having all power, We must, : to be logical conclude that God has } made all things good and consequently has not created any evil. Then you . ask. where did evil originate? Some , lone may say it started with Satan. or devil, but surely God in His infinite
 goodness could never have conceived or created monster of evil.
 , But you say, what will you do with 2 the Satan or devil of the Bible? Hear ! what Jesus says of him: He was a 2 murderer from the beginning and n abode not in the truth because there ' is no truth in him. When he speaketh lie he speaketh of his own, for E he is liar. and the father of it" Tn q these simple emphatic words, Jesus al z once and forever wiped out tic lie n about devil that has been responsible T for all the sickness, fear. doubt, sor-
 row and sin that have come to tho > world
 = Is it not the lie of which we read ir !. the beginning which said to Eve, God q has not told you the truth? You have . but to eat of the other fruit and you = will become as God2 Does 1t not come s to us today in words like this, God l; ' too big, too universal. too much con :. cerned with other things to be con 0 scious of the individual and you canno = be healed by him? And does it not say s what you need is to perfect yourself il T material knowledge and learning ans 2, you will become as a god and hea |, yourself and solve your problems? l !. is all untrue If we may not look t 7, God for help in every human problem "a we need not look to man.
 ,s Some one asks If the unreality of evi
 {, means that man is not to suffer fo Q what we call evil deeds. His answe evv is plain. God is not mocked; fo l. whatsoever a man soweth, that shal N, he also reap. For he that soweth [ 
 ruption: but he that soweth to tn
 Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life ever IS lasting"
 -oI Evil is unreal. but we come to a De understanding of this as the result C r. thought and demonstration. One doe rv not learn mathematies by beg1nnin e- with trigonometry and calculus, bu as by learning that one and one are two Id two and two are four, and by workin b. his way up through arithmetic. algebr
 and other branches to higher mathe Id matics so with all science and so Wit m Christian Science. Ones understand le ing comes with careful study and dem Is, onstration. Would you know what ce meant by demonstrating or proving th q unreality of evil2 One can prove th ag unreality,. the nothingness of evil to proving the all-ness of God. Let | b. begin simply-we all believe that Go CT is good and that God is Love. Let | ed go forth tomorrow with the though be of Gods goodness and love in all thing of Let us see nothing, say nothing, q in nothing, be nothing. believe nothin he that is unlike goodness or Love, .st you hear a man cough2 Do not tur ed instantly and fix cold or influenza he any other disease upon him. Tn; an would be unlike goodness and Lov .ct Know that God never made a coug ng therefore it is unreal and does not b, - long to man.
 Do you see a man limping there ( . orutches? Do not fix lameness on hir 6 That would be unlike goodness [ Love. Lameness is no part of God lh creation. therefore is does not belor = to Gods man. and should not bind hir r. Do you suppose Peter and John whs
