mental barriers are removed from our
consciousness and the sunlight Of Gods
ever presence Is borne in upon us AS
we begin to work in Christian Science
and begin to understand what true
prayer is, and how to pray as Jesus did,
we begin, little by little, to replace, in
cur thinking, fear, envy, Jealousy, hatred,
revenge and the like, the procurers of
all disease, with confidence and meak-
ness and trust and love and charity and
forgiveness and sweetness; we begin to
replace our concept of Gods creation to
be crassly material with the uD derstand-
Ing that the universe and the man are
pure and spiritual; we begin to break the
fetters of creed and dogma and ritual
and emerge into the freedom Of the
Christ. And as we progress in prayer
and understanding, Gods Law begins to
! manifest itself to us and through Us, in
proportion to- our publication of con-
seriousness, In better health, better morals,
peter living, better business and more
love for God and all mankind-in a more
harmonious condition generally. We be-
gin then to understand a little of what
Jesus meant when He said, IF ye have
faith as a grain Of mustard seed, you
snail say unto this mountain, Remove
hence to yonder place and it shall re-
move; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you. We begin then to understand
a little of how Jesus accomplished his
wonderful works and to appreciate how
! far we have still to traverse, how much
genuine purifying we have yet before u.s.
/ DSAVAO we are dDle &c Iully ODey his
command to "go and do likewise 1t is
! through prayer that we gain our atone
ment, our at-one-ment with God, with
| dlvine Love, with Life and with Truth.
whereby we can go with confidence to the
bedside of the sick and bid them "arise
1 and walk" to the charnel house of the
sinner and command the "evil spirit to
come out Of him" and to the tomb of the
dead and bid those asleep in materiality
| to come forth"
REVELATION OF MARY
BAKER EDDY.
Jesus taught and demonstrated con-
cluslvely this Law of God, but none of the
writer's In the New Testament have left
| us practical, disable role for it's applica-
ton. Just as the demonstration of this
Law has appeared throughout human
history from time to time, when the
discovery of the rule Of its practical
application was to have come at the
proper time and In the proper way. 1t
when mankind should be ready to receive
~, ana through people capable Of under
standlng and perpctuating it among the
nations. so II was only natural, and in
accord with Gods Law, that 1t should
have been revealed first to a nation in
whom spiritual freedom had been exem-
phned in political and religious freedom
nation whose struggles for freedom
had prepared it for this higher light.
rms great light was revealed to Mary
BAKER Eddy, the discoverer and founder

MRS. EDDY's TEACHINGS
CHANGES THINKING WORLD.
1t is wonderful to note, when we stop
| TO think Of It, how completely Mrs.
Eddy's teachings have changed the think
Ing Of almost the entire world and in
so short a time There are not many
departments of the worlds daily routine
that have not felt the effects in some
degree, of the great change in our meth
/ Cd of thinking resultant of the teach
| ings of this modest New England gen
tlewoman. 1t may not be generally rec
oEnized, but the fact is that the prac-
tice of medicine itself has undergone
probably as great revolution since the
discovery Of Christian Science, and be-
cause thereof. as has any other one de-
| partment of human activity. Today you
will find many physicians who will tell
| you that they seldom, If ever, resort to
! the use of drugs or medicine in their
ministrations to the sick. And they will
! go still further, and tell you that they
| recognize that the mental attitude of
| their patients has much to do with the
recovery The medical schools are now
including in their curricula studies tend
ing to direct the medical practitioner in
mental methods In his practice. To be
sure, some Of these changes may not
! be altogether for the best, for 1t is
recognized by a Christian Scientist that
mental manipulation unchecked by Chris
tan morality, is often more dangerous
| than matter manipulation, but, never
theless, this decided unrest in medical
| practice and the tendency to drop matter
| and to drift toward mind unqucstlOnably
! results from the necessity occF stoned by
the growth of Christian Science.
