Christian Science versus Spirirualism
Many sPiritualists, after turning to
Christian Science, have lost all faith in
splrituaiism. because Christian Science
has enabled them to prove conclusively
that Spirit cannot be rightly conceived
of a less than Infinite.
SAYS PUBLICITY DUE
TO WORLD WAR
The publicity which is at present
being given to spiritualistic claims, is,
no doubt, one of the experiences made
possible by the recent World War, which
has called forth the mental anguish of
multitudes, longing for communion with
their dear departed If all who are still
clinging to this belief Of embodied and
disembodied spirits, will only look to
Christian Science for present spiritual
sense of their loved ones, all tears will
soon be wiped away, and the understand
ing will obtain that Spirit Is Life, God,
and that man, the image and likeness Of
God, never can be separated from eternal
Life.
When 1t is better understood that man
lives, and moves, and has his being In
Spirit, and not in a mortal body, the SO
called communications of Spirituai'sm will
ena, unknown 70 the so-called departed
communication but belonging wholly to
our present plane of existence
The religion Of Christ Jesus put into
daily practice, is the only thing that can
rid the world Of the chaotic conditions
which now seem to prevail. Coincident
with the demonstration of the Christian
virtues is the disappearance of that
greatest curse of the human race
selfshness. Human laws WILL no doubt,
continue to be enacted during the transit
tional period; but not until the higher
law of Spirit, founded upon the First
great Commandment, Thou shalt have no
other gods before me- Is recognized and
ness give place to universal peace and
brotherhood; to humanity, justice and
kindness.
Christ Jesus, the great Wayshower,
offers complete deliverance to the world
from its social, civil, political and re-
ample OF self sacrifice still shines forth
as a beacon light to all who would learn
the divine solution for every human
problem, be 1t small or great. Strive,
as one may, to find a shorter route, one
viii discover, sooner or later, that the
Christ way of learning Life. so long
lost to the world through dogma and
persecution, has again been given to hui
manity through the tireless, unselfish
efforts of our beloved Leader, Mary
Baker Eddy. She 1t is who has so
quickened the universal consciousness to
the need of studying and practicing the
precepts of the great Nazarene that
countless thousands have been enabled
to say of him, as did Peter Of old 4:
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God" Matt. 1910. If the time
spent in forcing human theories and
opinions upon others, could be devoted
to a more serious study of the Sermon
on the Mount, and to the practice of
its precepts the reign of unselishness
would sooner pc recognized in every de-
partment of uman life. Jesus teach
ings are proved to be practical in Chris
tian Science The practice Of Chris
tianity has not failed. 1t was the lack
of Christian practice which caused the
Journalism. and to substitute creeds for
a demonstrable religion.
CAPITAL AND
LABOR DISCUSSED.
The seething conflict between cap
ital and labor Is largely an exhibition
Of human selfishness, due to false stan
dards OF education. If the worlds edu-
cational institutions could be founded
upon the Christ Truth. instead Of upon
belief in intelligent matter. there would
sooner be a race Of people, whose only
aim In life would be TO understand and
10 do the will OF God. to live a life Of
Christian service.
The selfish materialist, whether capt
tallst or laborer, believing in the reality
Of matter. is living a life Of material &C.

a slave to matter. He, too, IL huggIEg
