 brothers worked for years to i,iaEe the ideas governing air flight their own. They had to make use Of cer" tain qualities of thought to achieve their goal. Persistence, patience acs curacy. self-sacrifice were some o'
 so Mrs. Eddy, in order to perceive the meaning of the basic ideas of beine which Jesus 90 clearly dis" cerned. had to be willing to improve with spiritual ideas the quality or her thinking. She was naturally religious in her attitude toward lie, had become affiliated In early years with an orthodox church. But tnat was not enough. There had 70 DC years of patient, persistent searcn, ing of the Scriptures, years or tria! and experiment in her determined search for the Science Of healing ny divine power. Her deep faith In Cod enabled her to lay hold of that most powerful quality, moral courage, and with 1t to press on in her search, Honesty of purpose, humil- ity. purity, were some of the other qualities of thought which enabled her to find, feel, and use the power of Che Almighty. Nothing but the power of Cod could have enabled hcr. a retiring, gentle, New England woman unaccustomed to the striV" inRs of men, to face Q world or op.. ,oOitlon to oil she had to give. But thrn,,gh the spiritual quality Of her thinking she had found the source of ail real power. She came to the place where she knew, with the Psalmist, that power belongetn un- to Cod" Through her worKS tnous sands were healed. She made the demonstration of Gods power the foundation of the Christian Science church, and that Is It's foundation today and forever. It was the power of intelligent Mind that conmut1i- cated and revealed to Mrs. Eddy Inc true Ideas which she has made nyaiiable for oil. In Science ana Health, page i0o, she says, "The revelation of Truth in the under. standing came to mo gradually ana apparently through divine power. It was tho power of true Mind working in her which wisely defined inc footsteps for tho establishing Of the Christian Science movement and It's co.ordinated activities, ndapted to tho worldwide dissein' ination of the message Of Gods gu' prof1e power. It Is the onlnipresent, conductive power of untiring Mind that is and will continue to be the reliance of Christian Scientists for tho guidance, protection, and d!fec' ton of this dod-empowered move. ,1ent and the accomplishment Of It's purpose to heal from sickness, dc. liver from sin, and free from every condition of thought and being which b less than the expression of real Life, God.
 one of JesuS' greatest statements was, "Dehold, I give unto you power =. over all the power of tne enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" No stronger state" inent could Do phrased In regard to the supremacy of spiritual power "poWer over all the power of the enemy. and nothing shall by any means hourt you" No hurt can come to those who embody this power by thinking aS no thought, by using the spiritual qualities Of thinking he possessed. No hurt can come either, through the body, or through physical or material laws, or times, or conditions, or by means of tho evil thinking of ore, or few. or q multitude of snortals. Nothing shall by any means hurt you"l The promise of dominion over and ex- crnption from every lie of "the power of darkness" Christian sci- ciice is bringing to fuifiliment for those who arc willing to recognize and use the spiritual qualities of thought which give consciousness the jimitlebs power of mans limit iegg dod. With John they hear voice saying, Nov is come salva- ton. and strength, and the Kingdom of dod, and the power of his ChFtEE."
