{ ristian Science shows evil to

m see that there Is no such thing In
'eallty as ignorance. Ignorance Is but
negative state of thought. the abb

,ears instantly when intelligence
appears. SO every phase of evil is
nut phase OF spiritual ignorance,
IN absence of the understanding of

onfronted with temptation to

ly standard of manhood What |
as he done here? He has mentally

hispered to him, because his high
+ sense of life knows that it is
rong, is erroneous and unworthy Of
place in his thought or life. He
lFes his stand mentally for what is
ght and true. Now, This is Just ex-
,tly what Christian Scientist
0es only he goes further and inen-
lily repudiates the suggestions CT
