deed; and We shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free"
John S:31-32). The truth about
what? Why, the truth of being as
recorded in the first chapter Of
Genesis-the truth about God and
man, the truth which Mrs. Eddy dis
covered and brought to light in her
study Of the Bible.
On page 10 of the Christian Sci
ence textbook, we find these words:
"Jesus urged the commandment,
Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore me- which may be rendered:
Thou shalt have no belief of Life as
mortal; thou shalt not know evil, for
there is one Life,-even God, good"
Christ Jesus was the son of the God
that is infinite good, who made all
things good, and hath done no evil.
Therefore, Christian Science teaches
that God has ordained no law of sin
or disease for yOu-no discomfort of
any kind. It is sometimes asked,
What is Gods law? Christian SCI
ence answers, His law is the law of
Life, Truth, and Love, the law of
health, of perfection, Of infinite good.
This ever-present law is ever OPP
eratiVe, and is an ever-present help
that is the healer Of disease. There
fore, all we need to do is to stop be-
ing afraid, to correct our thinking,
to trust God, and know that when
man has no law to govern him other
than Gods law, the law of health and
Life, he is God-governed, hence per-
feet. The Bible tells US that God
gave mar dominion, and that means
we should be master of our surround
ings, our environment, u business,
our thinking. Christian Science de-
clares that to know God Alright, we
must know Him as infinite good, as
!. Life, Truth, and Love, Spirit, Soul,
/: infinite Mind, Principle, Intelligence,
} Substance. We must understand Him
to be the only power, the only pres
| ence, All-in-all. Therefore, if God
is All-in-all, then He is all there is
SPIRITUAL HEALING
D Many are under the impression TO-
g day that Christian Scientists are
e cold, indifferent, and unsympatheti'
regarding the belief Of sickness ant
e suffering, and charge US with doing
nothing to afford relief to those wh'
are struggling with such beliefs. Thi
e is because it is difficult for a person
thinking in terms of matter to com
l. prehend how healing can be don
h without drugs, manipulation, or ma
10 terial means.
Christian Science does not approx
d of or recognize the use Of materis
remedies OF material means Of an
l. sort as an agency of healing; on tn
3 contrary, it adopts the purely spirit
r, ual teaching and practice of tn
