difficulty gradually disappeared as l be-
gan to learn in Christian Science that d
right sense of honesty, based upon
divine Principle, is a keen detective of
dishonest motives; for true honesty is a
discerning intelligence We sometimes
/ speak OF that natural discernment as in
tuition; for intuition is the expressed in
telligence Of spiritual qualities. That is
why so many spiritually minded women

very heart of a problem which seems to
baffle the more reasoned process of
others; and that very directneSs is often
called "a wOman's reason" Thus We
+ learn that spiritual qualities, based upon
Principle, give TO one a discerning in
example, may know unerringly whether
another man is honest or dishonest.

was proved to Moses during his forty
/ years in the wilderness. According to
the scriptural record, the Children Of
Israel were fed On the mama which
I fell from the sky. Each day they could
gather a supply sufficient for their daily
need and nothing more; but on the sixth
: day they could gather q supply of bread
sufficient for two days. leaving to them
the Sabbath day of rest. After that ex-
perience had been repeated each week for
forty years, Moses was absolutely COM
PEELED to recognize the fact that the Sab
bath day is indeed an emanation from di-
vine Principle.
The divine Principle who provided a
Sabbath rest from toll is not cold and

DiscOverer and Founder Of Christian

divine Principle Of all honesty. it is i'm

we also learn that il is impossible for
such a nature 10 manifest its opposite
malice or hate. We learn, therefore, that
whatever expresses anger, malice, hatred,
revenge and so forth, is plainly described
in the Bible as Satan,-the very opposite
of the true God.
DIVIDED KINGDOM
0 CANNOT STAND.
Christ Jesus indicated the impossible
f ity OF Satan casting out Satan, and he
gave as reason that a kingdom divided
against itself cannot stand. He once
spoke OF a certain woman who had been
/ bowed together eighteen years land
/ could in no wise lift up herself" as "a
I daughter of Abraham. whom Satan hath
/ bound, 10, those eighteen years" He
healed her Immediately by the power
T of God, and IL was on the Sabbath day.
I That experience and many others which
Jesus presented prove that il is Satan
which he defined as a liar from the
beginning, whereby mortals are afflicted
I with sin. suffering, and torment; and
+ it is the nature and purpose of the only
( true God to heal men of those very at
fiictions. The God Of Christendom is
therefore, the divine Principle Of our
health, as truly as He is the Principle
/ of our honesty.
The Christ power which heals and
saves bears the same relation TO the di-
vine Principle that the rays of the sun
bear to the sun itself. Christ Jesus de-
! clared himself to be the Iigb. Uf tho
wOrld-the same light that appeared in
I the beginning and is referred to in the
first chapter Of Genesis ia these words
And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light" But God, the divine
Principle. was the creator of that Christ
light. Later on that Christ-Ight was re-
ferred to as the coming of Emmanuel, -

was, I am" indicating the eternity and
divinity of the Christ
Bible scholars indicate a distinction
between Christ and Jesus, which Chris
ton Science explains: For God, the
divine Principle, appointed the man Je-
sus to the office of Christ. Whereupon
Christ Jesus became the Mediator or
Wayshower, mediating between God and
