Sweeter than lullabies, sung by the

Clearer than oceans roar, heard

Softer than zephyrs, the voice Of

all is well.'
Genuine Christian Scientists are
rising, in this hour, to demonstration
of their spiritual individuality, their re-
Election of omnipotent Life and Love.
The radium of Love is dissolving and
dispensing the seeming mental darkness,
which hides from mankind it's birthright,
dominion" over all things. Mrs. Eddy
says:
Creation is ever appearing, and
must ever continue to appear from
the nature of its inexhaustible
source.

Christ's offspring, they who have
grasped the Science of spiritual ex-
istence, are attaining unto the perfect
man, unto the measure Of the stature of
the fulness of Christ" Truth. (Ephe-

perfect love, will be revealed.
Obedience to the law of God was de-
manded by Moses and by all the
prophets, up to the time when the wise

voice, the spiritual mental message, been
silenced. Mary Baker Eddy, who looked

life into the "chaos and old night" of
materialism. Thousands upon thousands
to-day are realizing the import of her
words:
The time for thinkers has come.
Truth, Independent of doctrines
and time-honored systems, knocks
at the portal of humanity. Con-
tentment with the past and the
cold conventionality of materialism
are crumbling away. Ignorance of
God is no longer the stepping-stone
to faith. The only guarantee of
obedience is a right apprehension
of Him whom to know Alright is

The hour for decision has arrived
Which chapter of Genesis, the first or
the second, will humanity accept as the
true creation of an eternal Principle,
God? Both cannot be true, for they are
antagonistic, the one to the other. In
the first chapter God made man in His
God's-own image" and likeness" and
gave him dominion" over all things.
He made, or expressed, His fatherhood
and motherhood, the life and love, of His
begetting and conceiving selfhood, in all
that He created; male and female
created He them," to multiply, and re-
plenish the earth," under the operation
of HIS creative laa0 of eternal Life and
Love. Paul discerned this spiritual
Wilderness of Gods man and declared,
There is neither male nor female: for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gala-
ttans ill.,, 28) Each individual idea of
God reflects both the life and love of
omnipotent Spirit. This compound ideal
man reflects compound Principle. or
cause, eternal Life and Love, our Father
Mother God
The first chapter of Genesis concludes
With Gods approval of His creation, or

his work, and called it "very good" or
very God: God and His Christ, with the

stltute the body of God, are appearing.

Christ is faithful. He will verify his
word. He left this rich legacy to his
followers:

away: but my words shall not pass
away. (Mark xiii, 31.)
