ideas, the life and light of all it's 1 own vast creation; and man Is tributary to divine Mind"
 It may be argued, this may bc true about heaven, but what has 1t to do with the earth, where we dwell, and where calamities seem to abound? In reply 1t could be asked: Are the disasters real? Is 1t not simply to the five physical senses that they appear so dire; and is this testimony unfailingly reliable? Is not the material cnse of existence dream as insubstan- tial as the night dream? ? Otherwise, God, who is omnipresent, would be absent and His laws set aside. The one who wakes from a nightmare does not dispute that the dream | experience was unreal. / It is because God governs His universe, and because nothing can actually exist outside of His infin- ite universe, that His laws find their way into every walk of hu- man life, the Christ Science saving humanity from misbeliefs in other gods and in material government. | Gods laws are inviolable, and the understanding of this fact in Chris tian Science is appearing to human consciousness individually, and hence collectively. Acknowledg- ment of His government as su- preme Is the one unifying influence | on earth at this time. This move ment is progressing, and d better sense of righteous government is superseding the cruel, the corrupt, and tho willful. Nothing can stop the unfoldment to mankind of the truth that mismanagement is im- possible to God, and. that human instances of 1t are wiped out through accepting the fact of Gods reign on earth. Only true un- derstanding of His government can give the wisdom to meet the vary ing individual and national needs and thus to protect men from l plunging into the ways of suffer . ing. The ultimate lessons of all human experience point to the im- mutability of God, good, here on earth as in heaven.
 l student is Example
 l A young man who was student of Christian Science once applied this knowledge to benefit himself and others. He was concerned over what he believed was seri- ous error in an organization witt, which he was connected, and as- stunned responsibility to correct it which was not his. He was short ly seized with an acute pain in one shoulder. As he was analysing his thinking, there came to him the Biblical statement (Isa. 9:6), "The government shall be upon his shoulder" that is, upon the au- thority of God as revealed to hu- manity through the Christ. The young man dropped his false senEc of responsibility ard saw the Christ as already bringing the requisite governing laws of good to human consciousness. In letting God gov ern his thinking, he immediately became free from pain.
 Every individual can think of Q national problem as readily as oi that of another individual. It is therefore, exceedingly important when human government is under consideration, to turn one'i thought to the one governm ent which governs all innpartially, and whose influence no building or boundary can exclude. This under. standing of Loves constant pres. ence and undisturbed government tends to queil the human sense o1 chaos and to restore Q higher sense of government. This Is the essen tial truth to be known, in order that the many human governmenti may be conformed to the govern
 ment of God.
