1t was prophetically said of the
Founder of Christianity that he should
not Judge "after the sight of his
eyes" nor after "the hearing of his
ears" physical sense would not gov
ern his thinking. The Gospels make
it clear that he was well aware that
his sense of things was different from
that of materially minded persons
about him. The immaculate concept
of the Master, pure spiritual-minded-
ness, enabled him to see the absolute
Brightness of Gods perfect kingdom gin
earth, as it is in heaven" He knew,
therefore, that evil is not the reality
it appears to be, but "liar, and the
father of it," self-constituted falsity,
as he said.
Many who spiritually apprehended
the teachings of Christ Jesus found
that he indeed had come "a light
into the world" Their open minds
were so illumined through his pure
teachings that human ills became to
them less real, less part of them
selves. Thus was Christian healing
accomplished without annulling law,
without altering fact. The lame
walked, the blind saw, the deaf heard,
to the poor all things needful were
added.
Way-showe~ is a term for Jesus of
Nazareth which indicates the nature
of his mission. His words and works
show that physical sense is not to be
trusted to reveal either the true ma
ture of human ills or the true way out;
that spiritual sense is fully available
and adequate to dispel the discordant
illusions of Observation-Disclosures. Jesus
proved the correctness of the Scrip
tural assurance that God, infinite
Spirit, gives man dominion :. over
all the EARTH" divine mastery over
materiality.
"The physical healing of Christian
Science" writes Mary Baker Eddy on
page XII of her book, "Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
"results now, as in Jesus time, from
the operation of divine Principle, be-
fore which sin and disease lose their
reality in human consciousness and
disappear as naturally and as neces-
sarily as darkness gives place to light
and sin to reformation"
Since the time Of Jesus the truth Of
being, in contradistinction to the hu-
man belief in evil, was not made clear
until Mrs. Eddy set it forth in her
writings. Her statements direct
thought to increasingly vivid realiza-
ton Of the Brightness which God has
bestowed on His children. Her spirit
ual leadership is acknowledged by
vast numbers Of liberated thinkers.
Life Spiritual, Not Material
The common belief about a mans
life is that he lives within physical
body, that his identity is located inside
a material structure of flesh and bones.
How life got into the body, what keeps
it there, how it is to get out, and
where it is to go when it gets out, are
subjects of much speculation and little
assurance.

RADIANT LIVING
The Mountains of Prayer
n d. n NJ N.;efoth
Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church

Pastor Ridgely M. e. Church
Ridgely, Md.
The mountains are wonderful places
for praying. The charm of view and
the impression of grandeur seem to
draw to one the feeling of the pres
ence of God.
It is in the solitude of the noun
tains that one can enjoy uninterrupt-
ed communion with God. For prayer
that brings enrichment should be un-
broken by interruptions.
It is upon mountains that great ex-
periences have been received. It was
from the mountain top that Moses re-
ceived the Law of God. It was from
the mountain top that he saw the
Promised Land. It was on the noun
tain top that Christ was transfigured.
It was from the mountain top that st.
John viewed the Holy City flaming
with the glory of God.
There may be no mountains near
you, but you can climb the heights
of a figurative mountain by lifting
YOUR thought up to God. The highest
figurative mountain in spiritual ex-
perience is to reach that height where
ones will is brought into full conform
ity with the will of God. 1t is upon
such a height that the soul experiences
the infinite bliss of Divine fellowship
where one is lost, not in clouds, but
with Christ, in God.
Paul speaks of such Transforming
experiences when he wrote: But We
all, with unveiled face beholding al
in a mirror the glory of the Lord are
transformed into the same image
from glory to glory, even as from the
Lord the Spirit"

THE TRAVELLER SPEAKS

THE TRAVELLER SPEAKS
I've travelled the road and I know the
way,
It's an uphill climb from day to day :
But the trusty guideposts are always
there
A smile, song, and silent prayer
And somehow or other the hours are
gone,
And stronger in spirit we carry on.
I know you're lonely; the top of the
hill
Seems far away; and there is no thrill
In steadily plodding the stony road
With unsolved problems so heavy a
load;
But patience and courage will take
you through
To heights you seek and clearer
view.

A Lecture on
Christian Science
Christian Science: The
Revelation of Mans GOdgiven
Dominion and Freedom
by
Frank Bell, C.S.B.
of New York City
Member OF the Board Of Lectureship Of
The Mother Church. The First Church of
Christ, Scientist. In Boston. Massachusetts.
Christian Science operates in human
experience through the understanding
and demonstration Of divine Principle.
The Christianity scientific remedy for
sin and disease, want and woe, is found
in transformation through the renew
ing of the mind (Romans 1929.
Spiritual-mindedness is natural and
normal. There need be no mystery
about how to acquire it. AS one would
not expect to be automatically
minded without earnest attention to
the theory and practice of numbers,
nor to be legally minded except
through learning the law, so spiritual
mindedness requires devotion of
thought to spiritual realities. To love
God with all the mind is Scriptural
requirement.
The great spiritual thinkers who
speak to US through the Scriptures are
of one accord in urging acquaintance
with the divine nature as essential to
mastery of evil. Jesus taught that
to know God Alright is the remedy for
all ills, even to the realization of "life
eternal" the perfection of being.

The honeysuckle is so sweet,
The sky above so blue,
Each hour today is so replete
With worthy work to do,
That I cannot help singing
This happy little song,
It's notes with gladness ringing
AS I pass along.
The iris mods its lovely head
To peoples cross the way;
The roses wave their banner red
To peonies at play;
The fresh green leaves are dancing

the extra 10 to 80 mill local school
levies for deficiency state aids" now
necessary in most of our independent
(high schooD districts, these special
deficiency levies will be forced up
another five or ten mills.
Thus the net income taxes, that are
paid mostly in the large industrial
centers and should be distributed
throughout the whole state as a real
estate replacement tax as well as
a means of equalization of the returns
or profits" of production, these funds
will not serve those purposes fully as
was originally intended. There are
those in the legislature who seek
to destroy these very purposes and
aims. In this they are now succeed
ing.
To prevent increases in local school
levies, to save some of our Pine
county schools, and also to save
some of our Pine county commun-
tiles, it might be well to organize
delegations to seek these provisions
for equalization of distribution and
educational opportunities. Also seek
the further prevention of bonded
debts of all kinds from being I'M
fairly shifted from the reclaimed state
lands to the few remaining settlers
In 1888, we accurately foretold
these events now rapidly coming to
pass. We see even more disaster for
our rural counties in the near future
This includes our villages as well as
rural.
We feel that our Representative
and Senator are both in favor of
these points that are so favorable to
Pine county, but they should have
your individual encouragement and
support. What have you done to
help? Are you really interested?
We are.

Vital Legislation.
Reports received from the Mime
sofa Education Association, the Tax
payers League, the State School
Board Association, two school execu-
tive organizations, and the State De-
partment of Education all bear out
the following points:
These non-political organizations
are all in favor of the payment of the
general state school aids in full, in
Guiding supplemental, classification,
etc.
They all approve of the special $40
per child net income tax aid as now
provided, and also approve of suf-
ficient high school transportation aid
for rural pupils to give rural chill
dren an opportunity equal to city
and village children for high school
education.
They all feel that the available net
income tax money is more than
enough to provide all these aids in
full and should be used for that
purpose as was originally intended.
However, it seems not likely that we
will make any gains in state aids.
We will do well to hold the gains
made during the past few years.
1t has been figured that general
aids will be paid off at only about
so percent. This will mean loss of
about $4,000 for Pine county.
High school transportation aid for
rural pupils has a fair chance of
becoming a law. This is the only
bright spot on the troubled horizon
An attempt is now being made in
the legislature to raid our permanent
school trust funds that were estab-
lshed by the Constitution and have
grown rapidly in recent years.
