stand the cause of disease in the
body, discord in the home. chaos in
business, tidal waves and fires in
the universe, and all the phenomena
which are caused by the mortal be-
lief in two powers, good and evil.
! Evil thoughts are destructive
forces. They have been hidden till
wisdom threw the light of Truth
upon the lie. We now know that
spiritual love nullifes their claim to
power-"Hear, o Israel, the Lord

Edison, in an article upon the
! danger of electricity, says: "In-
sulated wires are not safe if put un-
derground. They are more danger
Gus on account of the gases which
will force themselves into houses

only safe when exposed. Then they

How true of evil! Christian
Science, the understanding of the
supremacy of the Christ-mind, has
exposed the cause of sickness and
death, and found it to be carnal
mind, the lie which has deceived
the whole world. Truth uncovers
error in this age. and the lie, ex-
posed, has lost its destructive pow
er. There is nothing covered that
shall not be revealed"
When man learns his mental spir-
itual dominion, how buoyant will
become his step! When he realizes
that he has been holding in his
thought vipers, which have stung
him, and has borne the burden of
disease and discord in his body, in
his business, in the universe, work
ing out the problems of fear and
uncertainty, only to terminate i'll
death-when, l say, he awakes from
his Adam-dream and learns that the
cause of all his suffering was false
sense, he will turn to his Christ
mind and redeem his health, joy
and peace, a harmonious body and
harmonious universe. We have
been taught to submit to all things.
good or bad, as sent from God as
reward or discipline. Today the
fettered mind is freeing itself and
the Te Deum ascends from the
emancipated. We shall no longer
live as slaves. We were free-born.
Let us stand guard at the portal
of thought. To the approaching
mental messenger let US demand,
Who comes there?" If it be Christ,
Truth, we will open the door to the
angel visitant, Life and Love. If it
be the belief of sensation in mat
ter, with its various illusions of pain
or pleasure, its falsities and evil
thoughts, fears, malice and the car
nal forces that create discord and
disease, we will bid them depart.
We will assert our freedom, our
Christ-mind power, and prove the
supremacy of our God-thought.
Why should we yield to sickness
more than to sin? Why should
death be the king of terrors" when
it is admitted to be "the wages of
sin?" If one does not take poison,
one does not suffer from its effects.
If one does not commit a crime, one
need not fear the prison. If one
ceases to sin, one does not meet
sins penalty. When will humanity
cease SHINING, or believing that
there is life in matter? When will
humanity understand that life is in
the Christ-mind? Finally, God will
be understood as governing man,
and from wisdom we shall evolve
health, harmony, riches, honor, for
"the earth is the Lords, and the
fullness thereof" and the Scripture
declares, "Son, thou art ever with
me, and all that / have is thine"
We must realize that now we are
spiritual, that now we are in eterni-
ty and that now God will reveal
His life, His love, His truth, His
wisdom, His marvellous riches, His
ever-presence and power, for God
is All, omnipotent, omniscient and
omnipresent.

intelligence, will work through hu-

treasures of earth, air and sea.

riches, honor and glory. Turning
from Mind, or God, to matter, or
