the conspiracy accomplished except
to speed and glorify the career of
that great man. There was not
power enough in the clamorous
rabble or even in the Roman gov
eminent to defeat the purpose God
had for Jesus.
There is M circumstance, no in
justice, no power in this world to
defeat the purpose God has for you,
if you make the right choice and
stay resolutely with it. And life is
still before you.
Discovery of Christian Science
Christian Science has now been in
operation three-quarters of a cen
fury. Discovered and founded in
New England by Mary Baker Eddy,
it has long since reached worldwide
dimensions. Its churches encircle the
earth. It's periodicals, including The
Christian Science Monitor, an inter
national daily newspaper, are read
and appreciated in all lands. The
headquarters of the movement are in
Boston, Massachusetts,, where its
affairs are administered by a board
of five directors. So faithfully and
efficiently do they discharge their
duties that the influence of Christian
Science is constantly widening.
Prior to her discovery of Christian
Science Mrs. Eddy vas seldom free
from sickness. Finding no material
remedy, she eventually concluded
that there must be a spiritual law
of healing. AS a spiritually minded
woman and a great student of the
Scriptures she naturally sought for
this remedy in the Bible. She found
it there. She discovered that Jesus
in healing the sick was not working
miracles but practicing Science.
Having discovered the Science of
Christianity she tested it on people
in distress and found that she could
relieve them. She next set forth the
teachings of Christian Science in her
famous volume Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" The
book can be read in any public IL
brary or in any Christian Science
Reading Room. Many people have
been healed of serious ailments by
studying its pages.
Science in our times has gone as
widely abroad perhaps as has the
Sermon on the Mount. In other
words it has permeated universal
thought. There is hardly a person
in western civilization who is not
talking a different and a better
language, who is not pursuing a diff
ferent and a better life, who is not
living in a different and a better
world, because this great woman has
lived and labored here.
Remedy for Lawlessness
Every individual can make the
world better. He can have part in
quieting the present unrest. This he
can accomplish by recognizing and
insisting that the Lord God omnipo-
tent reigneth. We all know that He
does reign, reign wisely and abso-
lutely. We should be sufficiently
alert and just and reverent to admit
the fact. In this very admission, this
very recognition, we help to make of
none effect the turbulence at large
in the earth.
The world, with its affairs and its
people, is, after all is said and done,
governed by the one and only Mind.
Chaos and disorder therefore cannot
run riot. The world is at peace when
divine Mind governs. Sinister in
trigue, selfish ambition, attempts at
ruthless domination are then I'M
availing. The certain effect of a
constant and resolute acknowledge
ment of these truths will be to still
the harsh noises of the day.
The impatient and turbulent utter
ances of the times scarcely reach the
plane of intelligence. They are more
on the level with lunacy. Shall we
then be alarmed by their clamor?
Rather shall we challenge them as
~senseless, and powerless to deceive
or organize or work mischief of any
sort. We are not helpless in the
situation. We have the ability to
extinguish, n~oiseleSsly and finally,
the forbidding influences bent on
undermining industry and govern
ment.
It is time to know that HE dis
appointeth the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands cannot perform
their enterprise. He taketh the wise
in their own craftiness; and the
counsel of the froward is carried
headlong."
We can calm the international sus-
picions and hatreds which lead to
open conflict, we can silence rumors
of war, by realizing that divine
Principle holds the nations in their
orbits and will not permit them to
spring at each other in strife.
Are you not persuaded that God
has a destiny for your nation-a
peaceful and fruitful destiny, a des-
tiny that as yet is not half fulfilled?
Perhaps it will not be fulfilled if we
fail to do our part. What is
part? 1t is to take definite account
of the willy attempts to undermine
government and civilization itself,
and denounce them as u%nprincipled
and therefore as impotent to carry
out their designs. Every n of us
