 Had some great material legacy been given to you and you haa learned under what conditions you might appropriate it, I am sure that YOU would feel a great sense ot nap piness and expectancy And you would he willing and eager to do all that is necessary in order that you might quickly receive that which you believed would prove so great a blessing.
 There is a gift which divine Love has given you. It is greater by far than all the treasure in the store houses of the world. It gives to you what money cannot buy, for not only does it feed and clothe you, but 1t brings you bodily health, and peace and joy such as you have never known. This wonderful gift is the un- derstanding and power which comes to you when you recognize your true relationship to God, and which when applied to human conditions brings health and harmony.
 DIVINE LAW AVAILABLE
 The explanation of Gods law and it's availability to all mankind was taught and demonstrated by Jesus the Christ. but for many centuries it has been maintained that the major portion of the reward for Christian living is to come at some future time, as if one has unlimited and immediately available funds in the bank but has been made to believe by his friends that the rules of the bank are such that he cannot use the money for many yeas t0 come. Christian Science furnishes the rule by which the power that Jesus used in accomplishing his wondrous works is made immediately available, and because it's benefic;ant power can make over and bless every phase of our material existence it is the most important subject that can come to our consideration. The wisdom of this world has failed not only to heal from discord and sin but to heal from disease. And it will contin- ue to fail in it's treatment of disease until it is recognized that sickness is sick thought expressed on the body, and that sick thought is cast out through spiritual understanding. The wonder is that the fact that disease is mental has been hidden from the world for so long. and that human thought can continue to cling to ma- terial remedies in spite of their very apparent record of failure. That the patient must have faith in the phy-
 
 quite generally admitted. NotWith- standing this admission, the human mind is so material in it's thinking that it ignores the mental aspect of disease and continues it's futile search in the material. In his Gaily practice the physician comes in con- tact with symptoms and conditions that cannot be accounted for ma terially The moment one assumes that these are mental manifestations and looks for confirmation of this assumption he finds it on every hand.
 During the time that I was study ing medicine and before I actually engaged in the practice, the state ment was made to me on several oc- casiors and by different persons that any effect which followed the use of medicine was not material but men, tai. The idea seemed quite impossible
 
 occurred that were of such a nature that they could not be accounted for on any material basis I remembered what had been said and finally I be- gan to see that some things at least were mental This investigation went on and finally resulted in the con- viction that all disease is mental and that any result which has ever been obtained has come about as mental manifestation. Where before I saw nothing but material conditions I could now see that mental factor everywhere. In my own experience have seen a person who suffered from a condition for which I pre- scribed at various times, fail to re- ceive any relief from one sort of
