The desire of the true Christian
Scientist is to receive Christ, to fol-
low and obey the guidance of the
spiritual. ideal man, and to wait for
his temperance. This apprehension
of the reality of being breaks the
bonds of material sense and time

have held mortals in darkness, and
buried them under the debris of err

life In matter. In the apprehension
of his oneness with the Father, man
hath life in himself" He communes
with God in silent alteration, and Il
touch of love, joy, and peace assures
him that ne has found 'the secret
place of the most High" and Is safe
in his Fathers loving care.
Like fash OF lightning, that for

from the material to the spiritual

ascending, vmnipotent power of Life
and Love Will impel humanity onward,
outward, upward till 1t leads into all
Truth, anu man finds himself one

AS humble followers of the meek

tian Scientists must follow Christ and
continually unfold in spiritual under
standing and demonstration. Thus
walking in the footsteps of Truth,
mankind will be gradually trans
formed by the renewing of the mind.
Human consciousness is passing
through one of the greatest mental
revolutions the world has ever known.
The power of the approaching Christ

Christian Scientists have heard the

from dead faith to living under
standing. and their feet are planted
upon the rock of Truth, above the
clamoring cries of disturbed mankind.

these march calmly on, as did the
children OF Israel, declaring that
Life is real, Love is real, Truth
