law of God which he characterized
as the truth" which he said would
make MS all free when known or
understood. "Ye shall know the

shall make you free"
RaestabIishing Gods Law.
And this law OF God-this law,
the knowledge and application OF
which Jesus said should make us
free-is what Christian Science has
come TO re-estabIish with men.
Those wonderful works OF Jesus
prove conclusively that laws of
matter are not Gods laws and that
Gods laws are not only superior
but are actually laws OF annihila-
ton to so-caIied material laws and
thereby prove that material laws
are the product of a mortal miscon-
ception of what constitutes true
law. He established Gods law
which has existed throughout all
time the evidence of which runs as
a golden thread throughout all his
tory. The existence of this law OF
God can be traced throughout the
lives of the prophets ind patri-
archs, coming to light at intervals
in the history of humanity when
some one, through pure spiritual
ity. rose high enough in thought to
soar above the lettering bonds of
Grass materialism and glimpse the
gIories of an existence wherein
man may be found in the image and
likeness of his Maker, subject only
TO the law of God-the law OF good.
We find, with reinsurance, that
the law of God is a law of life
not of death; law of health-not
of sickness; a law of abundance
not of lack and limitation; a law
of harmony-not of discord; a law
of peace-not of strife; law of
live-not of hate.
What a ministry of love was that
Of Jesus. Could aught be compar-
ed to that love which endured,
without murmuring. the world s
hatred and scorn that you and
might understand that the law CT
God is omnipotent and omnipres-
ent; that we might know that there
are no material conditions over
which this law of God has not all
power? Writing of this experieice
tf Jesus, Mary Baker Eddy, the
discoverer and founder of Christian
Science, says on page a. of her
book Science and Health with Key

Universally of Gods Law.
Harking back through the ages
to the earliest periods of human
history we find in the lives of patri-
arch and prophet ample evidence
that this law of God has been un-
derstOod and proven in a greater
or less degree at various times
throughout the centuries. The 40
years struggle of the Israelites in
the wilderness under the leader
ship of Moses furnishes US numer-
Gus examples of the ability of man
kind to overcome human or mortal
conditions through the understand
ing and correct application Of God S
law You will recall how the
mama was furnished them in the
! desert and how Moses brought
7 forth water from rock in a dry
! and parched country. Then fol-
! lowing on through tho centuries
: every now and then we find some
| spiritual character bringing to
light the wonders of God just as
did Moses and Jesus in the healing
of the sick. the raising of the dead
and countless other ways Then
in the book of Daniel we see how
this law of God delivered Daniel
from the hunger of the lions ana
how the three Hebrew young men
Shadrach, Meshach-and Abed -nego
demonstrated the ability of God,
law to save them from the furnace
of fire and to deliver them there
from without so much as the smell
of smoke remaining to bear evi
: dence of their ordeal In the frs
Psalm we have this most reassur
ing promise:
} BLESSED is the man that
walketh not in the counsel OF
the ungodly, nor standeth in
tue way OF sinners, nor ST.
teth in the seat of the scornfuI.
But his delight is in the law of
the Lord; AMI in his law doth
he mediate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit
in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatso-
ever he doeth shall prosper"
