Christian Authority.

Thought rightly related to the dt-
vine Mind or God, who is the source
of all intelligence, reveals the God
like man. Christian Science empha-
sizes and demonstrates the fact that
because man is Gods image and like
ness, man must reflect the ineXhaust-
/ ibIe resources of the divine Mind OF
/ God. All that the divine Mind mas
and knows. therefore, belongs by re-
Election to Gods perfect spiritual
man. Until the nature of mans true
eeIfhood is understood human beings
will be in ignorance of their natural
rights and privileges, and Will con-
tinue to suffer as a result OF TINS lack
of understanding. To understand ana
TO enjoy mans true selfhood thought
must actually begin to reflect the
qualities of the divine Mind in the
activities of the daily life
Discovery and Discoverer.
Mary Baker Eddy is the discoverer
and founder of Christian Science and
the author of its textbook Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" The revelation and discovery
of this science were associated d.
rect1y with the recovery of Mrs Eddy
from a serious Illness Christian Sci
entistS have distinct love and re
gard for their revered leader 1t
would be wrong to assume that there
Is anything In this attitude that saw
ors of personal alteration, but on the
contrary is in recognition and CRATE
full acknowledgement of her unselhsh
service to all mankind. Indeed, from
the date of her healing in the year
1866 Mrs. Eddy's life was spent ex-
clusively in proving the truth Whlch
had been revealed to her, and In es-
tablishing Christian Science In &C
cordance Herewith.
) The question may be asked: Does
Christian Science never fail? NO true
science can ever fail. One may fail
to understand the science of num-
bers, or fail properly to apply this
science In working out a mathemau-
however, for a moment, that because
there has been a failure to understand
or properly to apply this science OF
numbers the science of mathematics
has failed Likewise there may pc
failure properly to understand Chris
tan Science, or a failure properly TO
apply this science IN the working out
of a problem under consideration;
but Christian Science never fails. NO
true science ever fails: and Christian
Science. is the purest and highest SCI
ence that the human mind can Know
because 1t is the science which re-
yeaIs to mankind the nature and
character of God. the primal and only
cause. and the relation Of man to
God
Svsterns of religion and OF medicine
which have appeared and disappeared
in the history of the world have n
naIIy disappeared because they Were
founded either upon the personal re-
mutation. or the personal sense, OF
their oriEinators, or upon the unwor-
thy belief that evil is a reality with
power exceeding that Of good or God;
and that matter, non-inteldgent and
inert possesses the qualities OF life
and mind. Any system OF religion
or healing which is satisfactorily to
meet the needs OF mankind must be
erected upon a foundation as univer-
sally available as divine love itself Is
available Christian Science has
been criticized frequently because of
its statements regarding the unrealfty
of matter, sin, sickness. death; and
yet the established systems of reh-
eion and medicine have been engaged
