 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROMISES
 The achievements of Christian science, during it's comparatively brief history, have been so wide- spread in their effects, SO wholesome in their influences, 50 elevating in their teachings, that these results and their part in the worlds rec demption cannot be adequately estimated.
 Many who have been healed were awakened to Q better sense, which made 1t possible for them to begin to know God and His Son Christ Jesus aright, to understand and love the Bible as never before, to dis. tinRuish between the divinely real and the humanly unreal. It is notice- able among faithful Christian Scien- lists that they have higher ideals, ambitions, motives, and desires, bet- ter modes of living, than before they knew of Mrs. Eddys teaching. This ouickened thought has not only Q more ethical character, but has an actual spiritual quality which only the love of God and Christ Jesus can bestow.
 Tn the last three chapters of the Revelation of St. John (the con- ciuding book of the Bible), we read of the reign of thousand years with Christ, commonly called the nlil- lennium. It is recorded that the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan" (you Will recall the talking serpent of the Adam and Eve record, material sense, which now becomes the dra- gon), is bound for thusand years by "an angel come down from heaven" The account next de- scribes the subsequent loosing of Satan, his further attempt Ito de- ceive the nations" and his final ana complete destruction. Then we read of the opening of "the book of liie, of "a new heaven and Q new earth" the glorious state of existence when God reigns through Christ, and when He "shall wipe away all tears from their eyes," In that day, we read, "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away recognized as unreal.
 This condition of perfect happi- ness, of righteous government, ana the brotherhood of man, in which holiness is triumphant in human relations of as heavenly place to be reached after what is called death, instead of as Q heavenly state to be experienced in consciousness today. Mrs. Eddy explains this important point very clearly in her inspired exegesis of these chapters of the Apocalypse.
 A PRESENT MILLENNIUM
 Those who have even. begun to understand the works of our Master, Christ Jesus, during his ministry on earth, can readily see that If his teachings were rightly understood and strictly obeyed, which Christian Science now makes possible, there would be no more sickness, sin, mis- cry, nor death upon earth, for the former things" would have passed awavU in this reign of Christ, this reign of Truth.
 This mission of Christian Science, lifting the thoughts of mortalS out of sin and its sequence of suffering, turning the hopes and desires or men toward God and His Christ, IS being fulfilled among us. one after another of earth's weary ones IS finding peace and harmony where formerly were fear and discord. The millennium comes individually, 10 him who sees the vision of Q possi- ble new heaven and new earth, and this working of God with us Ito VIII and to do of his good pleasure" VIII spread until we all are conscious ot Ills kingdom on earth. Then VIII the mission of Christian Science ana It's Leader be fully understood.
 Blessed are those who have already begun to see the vision which Mrs. Eddy beheld and which Christian , Science brings into human experi- ence. Mrs. Eddy writes in her text book:
 "Take heart, dear sufferer, for this reality of being will surely appear some time and in some way. There will be no more pain, and all tears will be wiped away. When you read this. remember Jesus words, 'Ine Kingdom of God is within you" This spiritual consciousness is therefore q present possibility" (science ana ] Health, pp. 67S. b7D.
