Faith Tested
"My responsibility is in being
willing to go all the way that Jesus
marked out, even to drinking his
cup of opposition to his statement
that he was the Son of God, which
relationship, in this hour, true Chris
tlan Scientists also claim for them
selves, namely, that they also are
the sons and daughters Of God, who
is the only creator, the Father and
Mother of all.
"As pioneer of Christian Sci
ence my faith and understanding, in
demonstration of Christ's teaching,
have been tested, under the greatest
stress Of opposition to the spa6a1al
tact, that / am child of Godp gbir-
ltual and not material. I have had
to- rise to proof, of the
supremacy Of divine love for God
and for my brother man.
To fulfill this mission has been
my responsibility. 1t is the people
who are now responsible for reject
ing, or accepting and prosSng the
rule, or the law of Life, the full
filling Of which is love for God and
man."
Looking at Mrs. Stetson, radiant
in health, intelligence and energy,
realized the necessity of proof of
such premise, to convince others
of it's value.
II have been told, Mrs. Stetson,
that these twenty-six people who
We're dropped from membership in
their church are prominent citizens,
men of representative character and
women of high culture and intelh-
gence."
"Yes, they are" Mrs. stetson re-
piled. "These men of affairs and
great prominence, and women of
the highest refinement and culture,
were dropped without hearing"

During the eleven years since
that time, those who began with
me to build 'on a wholly spiritual
foundation have not interfered in
the slightest with the church man
agement. However, they have con-
tributed to the support of the
church, and have attended the
Sunday morning service, to hear
their Pastor, which is the Bible and
Science and Health a0ith Key to the
Scriptures.
"They had always. been church
members before coming into Chris
tian Science, and their Sabbath
church service had become part Of
themselves. They continued to oc-
cupy seats in the church edifce, to
the erection of which they had lib
orally contributed, and to which they
had invited both the saint and the
sinner. Their spiritual thought and
their presence accentuated the
spiritual animus of the Bible read
lngs and the correlative passages
from Science and Health, which
serve as Pastor Of all Christian Sci
ence churches, and their unsettled
love for God and man was and is a
blessing TO all upon whom their
thoughts rest.
"My students, with me, are striv-
ing to attain unity of the spirit In
the bonds of love. They claim they
have right to seat in the church

But One Church
SIN Christian Science there is but
one Church, even as there is but ore
Book of Life. Mrs. Eddy defines
this Church as the structure of
Truth and Love- which means
wholly spiritual consciousness or
character, the Mind Of Christ. In
this one Church, as in this one Book
