ignorance and false belief have no
part or place In Gods creation.
God Is All Good.
I'm the consideration OF Christian
Science 1t Is absolutely essential to
understand the nature of good and
evil and to be able to distinguish be-
tween that which is intrinsically good
and that which presents merely the
appearance of good. Christian Science
declares In no uncertain manner that
God is the source of all good and that
the human-the carnal-mind is the
procuring cause of all evil. 1t pre-
sents logical, irrefutable proof that
man lives by divine decree. and that
the scriptural text, In Him we live
and move and have our being de-
clares the real status OF man and not
merely an emotional theory. 1t de-
clares emphatically that evil Is not a
person, place or thing: that it is not
a cause or creator and that there Is
no realm or dominion over which evil
Is the sovereign power. In fact, 1t
uenleS lIidl evil has diy poWCi SA~SPs
such as 1t assumes in human belief
and 1t then destroys this assumed
power by overcoming the human mind
with the divine Mind.
Christian Science presents to you
tho conception of God as Infinite
Mind. Spirit. Soul. Principle. Life.
Truth, Love. It presents nothing
about Him save that which Is sup
ported and sustained by Bible au.
thority and which Is rational and com.
forting. When It is perceived that
God Is infinite divine Mind It at once
becomes apparent that like produces
like, hence His creation must Of
necessity be mental and not
material. God must be sought and
found, IL at all. through the avenue of
divine mind and not In or through
matter. It then becomes clear that
the real man whom God pronounced
good lives. moves and has his being in
Mind, and Is a spiritual, not a
material being. and because he is an
idea in Mind he can and does express
the qualities of that divine Mind
which created him.
Scientists Not Unmindful.
There Is a very erroneous and un-
Christian belief ignorantly entertain
ed by many concerning the attitude
The Omaha morning bee., 1924-05-18

of Christian Scientists toward the ex-
periences called sickness and death.
Tho opinion Is often enormously en-
tertained that they are unmindful OF
these distressing human conditions
and that they offer no relief to those
who unfortunately suffer from these
beliefs. Nothing could be farther
from tho truth. They freely admit
that these conditions call for the high

 Of course, the chances are that your husband doesn't mean what he says that he doesn't expect you to go; and that he only tells you to go because he knows that you haven't got spunk enough to leave.
