upon black men who remembered well the only white man they had ever seen-David Livingstone, the not ed explorer. Says. Drummond, AS you cross his footsteps in that dark continent, mems faces light up as they speak of this kindly man who pass led there years before. They could not understand him, but they felt the love that beat in his heart" All of us may be Livingstones and leave the unerable impress of selfless love along our pathway.
 The master Metaphysician com manded that not only should we love our friends, but also our enemies. Un- til we ee the scientific basis for this command it si a most difficult one to obey. Christian Science SHOWS Us that we never have to love evil ill anyone All that we can ever truly love is the pure and the good, the substance of which is cd So low ing our enemies simply means that when evil whispers that we have an enemy we must see through and be- yond, no matter how vivid the picture may seem to be, and realZe that in Gods creation every creature is the expression of good and is lovingly related to every other creature, that there is no evil power which can verthrow God, possess man or divide him from his brothers.
 Our GOd-given consciousness in cludes rght concept of our brother. Let us pray that this consciousness be more fully manifest. Our true selfhood can never appear while we hold wrong concept of our brother. Heaven is not open to us if we think of him as outside. The time to love our fellow-man is now. The kingdom of God must become to us as It was to Jesus, present fact, and every creature that lives must be seen as loved by God and beloved by all hi fellows. Would that the words of Mrs. Eddy on page 113 of Science and Health, might be ever with us, The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love-"
 And so to all who are interested in the advancement of mankind may say that the world needs your lov ing cooperation and mlne. It seeds more toleraton and kindness one for another right in our e7ery day con- tacts, in the church, in the business and in the horne. Too often we are drawn into Truitless controversies that only delay Liberalization ot oul common ideals. DissensiOn is the working of evil. Spiritual unity Is the order of God. We are brothers. | God has made us so. It is one that the common enemy, the evil one that would bring among us strife, dissen- sicn, hatred and war Bll We are brothers now, brothers forever and forever. Only in brotherhood is truth, only in brotherhood is heaven and tne che road 10 brotherhoG is love.
 Said John, 'H He that lovetn not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" q John 4, 20)
 | Twenty centuries ago there came among men one so lowly, that he was | born in a manager. No persecution that could be heaped upon him was too severe For malice he gave for givenous, for injustice hegave mercy for hatred he bestowed love. Why | this life so burdened with the ha' tired of men, why thesupreme sac rifice of this lie amid thescorn of hs enemies, why inded? His one pur- pose was to bring to the thought Ot men a fuller unders standing of the su- premacy and the omnipotence of Love to prove by his life and resurrection the complete dominion of Love over hate. He did his work for you and for me- He showed us "the way are we faithful? Are we to the best of our ability striving to do the works he taught us to do, to think the thoughts he taugE; us to think and so fulfill our part in the estab
 lishment Of the kingdom of God among men-the reign and rule ot universal and impartial Love. Let us hear the Masters own words, "A new commandment I give unto you
 That ye love one another sI have loved you, that ye also love one an
 other. By this shall all men know ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13,, 34-35).
