 What enabled tho Master thus to give thanks? iio was governed not by material sense, but by spiritual sense. H0 taught that God is Spir- it, tho Father of all. He under. stood the real universe and man to Do spiritual, Mary Baker Eddy, the Diseoveror and Founder of Christian Science, writes In "Sei. once and Health with Key to tho Scriptures" CD. b07), Spirit duly feeds and clothes every object, as 1t appears in tho line of spiritual creation, thus tenderly expressing tho fathorhood and motherhood Of God" This was what enabled tho Master to rejoice; he saw Spirit, God, as tendorly caring for every. thing In Ills universe.
 In the same book We read
 CD. 20S), Spiritual sense, contra dieting the material senses, in. wolves intuition, hope, faith, under. standing, fruition, reality" The great Way.shower. pointing out that good is every present, said, Lift up your eyes, and look on tho fields; for they are white d. ready to harvest" When material sense says that q while things will Do better, lot us rejoicingly look up and sec tho fields white already to harvest" Lot spiritual sense tcll us Of the real universe, wherein geod is unlimited, ever available. Wonderful are the results of this realization!
 A young man who had been out of work for two years was able ono day, through tho study of Christian Science, to rejoice. According to tho testimony Of material sense nothing had changed, but he was listening to spiritual sense, which told of tho real universe, wherein there is q perfect plan, perpetual activity; perfect business, wherein there Is continuous employment for all; perfect supply, Gods provision for His children. The following day he received q message asking him to return to his former place of employment. He was given q better position, at n larger salary than ho had formerly received. Likewise many, by learning through Christian Science to re- joice when the material senses teR- tify to physical inharmony, have been freed from sickness.
 Paul and Silas in prison, with their feet fast In the stocks, sang hymns of praise. As they rejoiced, singing praises to God, the prison- ers' bands were loosed." If we seem bound by the evil beliefs of sickness, unemployment, or lack, let us nevertheless sing praises to God. Let us rejoice because God is infinite good, the only power and presence; because the real man, our true selfhood, Is ever gloriously employed, is ever tho perfect expression of Life, ever held by divine Principle, Love, "in the rhythmic round of unfolding bliss, as a living witness to and perpetual idea of inexhaustible good" as Mrs Eddy writes in "Mis- cellaneous Writings" CD. 83). Then will the bands of sickness, unem. pioyment, and lack be loosed. Let n discordant condition of some kind to overcome, but always, ac- cording to Paul's admonitions, "Re- joice evermore," and "In every thing give thanks" Spiritual facts never change. Therefore. we can rejoice always in them: and in the degree that we realize the spiritual facts of perfect Life, perfect em- pfoyment, perfect supply, and true relationship, we shall have health, profitable employment. abundant supply, and congenial friends.
