esty, integrity, and righteousness in
business affairs, in government, in the
home. in education in art, in every
department of life, in fact. The Moni-
tor today is acknowledged by many of
the great men of the time to be the
criterion for all newspapers. It is a
way-shower in journalism. It's practi-
cal influence upon human affairs can
not be estimated. and only love for
mankind inspired it's inception and is
its governing purpose.
The Monitor, presenting, as it does,
world affairs from the standpoint of
universal love and the brotherhood Of
man, is uncovering to human con
seriousness the basic cause of war
war between individuals as we'll as ma
tons. And what is the root cause, the
basic of world strife and contention.
emulation. mad ambition, and mans
inhumanity to man? Is it not envy
the serpent of hate and jealousy
The gospel of Christian Science today
is available to destroy this lie that has
eaten it's bitter way into the heart of
mankind. Christian Science shows us
that envy has its foundation in the
belief or fear their fellow-man possess
es some good, some blessing which we
are denied and which we greatly de-
sire. Christian Science declares that
envy is baseless fear. Are we rally
denied? Do we lack any good thing :?
In the light of Truth we see that man,
Gods image and likeness, today has
all good, if he will only claim it, the
infinity of supply, substance, opportun
ity, talent, happiness! What does it
mean? Infinitely manifested there is
enough of good, of God, for all, for
every man. Each may legitimately
desires, and yet his brothers too may
partake of Loves unreasonable boun-
ty. Each one finds his proper place
and proper relationship to all of Gods
little ones. Who ever conceived of the
great oak vying with the stately pine,
or the rose with the lily? Side by side,
each fills it's purpose in Gods divin
plan. There is no envy there, and in
our daily life every fine achievement,
every success of our brothers, can
make us rejoice, because more of
Gods glory has been revealed, and
we know that same possibility exists
for u.s. There is enough for all.
FEAR DESTROYED
No Pharaoh of Egypt held the chill
dren of Israel in greater bondage than
today is exacted of humanity by the
taskmasfer, fear Men are afraid to
eat, and afraid not to eat If business
is good they are afraid it will be bad
and if it is bad they are afraid it will
be worse, afraid if the weather is hot,
afraid if it cold. Indeed, fear is usual
~ present in some form at all occa-
siOns. What is this tyrant, fear? Is it
real and God-provided? Has the all
loving creator of the universe put into
the heart of man these thoughts Of
timidity, apprehension, and misgiving?
No, not one of them God hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love. and of a sound
mind" The world is coming to see
how available are the teachings Of
Christian Science that God is Love
and the only Mind governing man.
Now this understanding enables us to
recognize and cast out fear. 1t shows
us that fear comes into thought pri-
marily as a temptation to acknowledge
and bow down before a power other
than the one God. We are asked to
admit the existence of an evil entity
which has the ability to incapacitate
terrify, and destroy the children of
God. Spiritual reason tells us that all
this is not the product of an infinitely
good God, and indeed God would not
be infinite if evil and it's offspring,
fear, are self-constituted and eternal
realities.
Discouraged and disheartened in the
struggle with life's problems, it would
seem as though mans ability to cop
with difficulties and to resist them had
SO weakened that at the very first on
slaught of the enemy he gave up with
out an effort We are told in the
Scriptures that if we resist the devil,
evil, he will flee from us, and Mrs.
Eddy in Christian Science has shown
the world how to stand courageously
and resist evil and fear. On page 1913
of Science and Health she says, Rise
God has made man capable of this, and
nothing can vitiate the ability and
power divinely bestowed on man. =
Christian Science in it's teaching that
all is Mind and it's infinite manifesto
ton shows us that fear always makes
its appearance as our thinking, as
some kind of thought. 1t claims to
be part Of our own thinking, our con-
sciousness The realization that alb
true thoughts have their origin in God
enables us to separate these fear
thoughts from ourselves and from the
divine Mind, to see them only as illu
sions, as false beliefs without basis or
cause in Truth. This perception that
