Doors Of the Word.
Christian Scientists are doors Of the
word, and not hearers only" they are
then true Christians, followers OF the
iowly Nazarene In truth AMI In TACT.
Not only do they accept the scr:ptur2l
teachings concerning the nature ana
character OF God. but they prove tEs;r
understanding Of the truth or sIch
teachings. Gods three principals at'r'-
butes, His omniscience. omnIpoterce ana
er1nipresence-God possessing ana eN-
pressing infinite wisdom and lntelh-
Sence, infinite power and presence, arc
to Christian Scientists not the state
mcnt OF mere words but absolute tru'h,
and they are continually realizing am
declaring the infinite wisdom an. intel
ligencc Of infinite Mind. God. without m
equal or opposite, and proving in human
experience, here and now, that LOG is
present and has all power.
They accept and practice the Ten
Commandments, and lay especial stress

Gods before me-" The Sermon on the
Mount, spiritually understood. expresses
the very essence OF the teachings or

coming sin and by healing all manner
Of disease.
Fruits OF tho Spirit
Go to the sick and the suffering, who
through Christian Science have oeen re-
stored to health and vigor OF mind ana
body, AMI ask them whether Christian
Science Is something to be Stunned as
un-Christian? Ask the thousands or 80
callsd incura bles in our land. OF whom
it was declared that they could De re-
lleved Of their sufferings only through
death, and who through its gentle min
istrations are taking their part IN the
affairs Of lie. Ask the deaf the lame
the halt. and the blind. who through II
are healed Of their inflrmities: all VIII
answer with rejoicing. These arc the
fruits of the spirit the spiritual under
standing Of God and His Christ.
Less Of human opinions and more OF
practical Christianity. less preaching
and more Christian healing. is the de-
mand OF the hour. Christian Science
alone Is meeting this demand.
