 spiritual vision The prophet de- clared, Where there is no vision, 1 the people perish. There are many references in the Bible to this process of awakening. The tPsalmist sang. "I shall be satis- lied, when awake. with tay like ness;" and Paul declared. Awake thou that sleepest. and l Christ shall give thee light" HEALING AND PRAYER Much that l have told you about salvation will receive assent. from ! those who do not yet know of Christian Science, and who do not realize that the healing of sin. disease and all mortal discord is Iinseparably linked with true salva- tion-indeed this healing consti- tutes the proof and assurance that we are working out our problem Ialong correct lines. If one is in doubt as to the soundness of his spiritual convictions all that is necessary is to ascertain what the Master declared upon this subject in his final instructions to his teenth chapter of Mark. Jesus disciples, as recorded in the six said to them when speaking of the healing of sin and disease. And these signs shall follow them that believe" Please note that he did not say that these signs might follow, but that these signs cha!l follow, imperatiyely. definite ly and unequivoeally. These signs are to follow them that believe. Now is it not logical that if such signs do not follow religious be- lief that there must be something inadequate or incomplete about such belief?
 This measure of proof estab- lished by the Master is supplemnt- ed by a vigorous declaration of James, who said, Even 80 faith, if it hath not works, is dead, be- ing alone. Shew me thy faith without thy works, and 1 will shew thee my faith by my works" !"

It is correcting and Improving all the and women, causing them to con- duct their lives in accord with di- vine Principle. In so doing Chris tian Science is not only bene- fitting the individual but also rap idly laying foundation for the universal brotherhood of man. a prolonged process possibly. but af- ter all the only way to permanent harmony in world affairs.
 THE DISCOyERER AND FOUND
 FER OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 "The early life of Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder
 
 of Christian Science, shows step by step how she was prepared through spiritual experiences to receive the revelation of what she later named Christian Science Carefully reared and educated in a Christian environment, she early became an earnest student of the why it's promises concerning heal- Bible, and had often wondered ing were not being fulfilled in this age.
 "In after life, while suffering from the result of an accident pro- nounced by the attending physi-' clans as fatal. she turned unre- servedly to God and His promises and was instantly healed. This experience convinced Mrs. Eddy that the Principle of Christian healing is ever operative and needs but to be understood to utilize it in this and every age"
