even while an unspiritual point OF
view may be arguing that all this
would be an impossible attainment
outside of heaven; impossible, that
is to say, prior to the change called
death.
Divine Law Always Available
Ali but it is not an impossible
attainment. There is a way, and 1t
is the purpose of these lectures on
Christian Science to make 1t plain.
Does mathematical law, for ex-
annie. place any distractions, either
here or hereafter, In the path OF
those who would scale the heights
of numerical achievement? Does
mathematics teach that there Will
be ANYTHING possible in the here
after that is not possible now? Ger
tainly not! One need only to bring
enough alertnoss, obedience, ana
application to bear in order to prove
this to be true. The same rule holds
good with reference to the demon
stration of divine law, which Is the
law of unlimited possibilities to all
who progressively respond to It's
sacred. its imperative demands.
In other words, Christian Science
has come to show mankind that
divine law is the law of health, Joy,
and blessedness to present human
experience. It has come to show
that. in view Of the divine ever-pres-
ence. there is. as much good avail
able to us today as there was yester-
day and as there will be tomorrow.
Yea. it has come to show that, II 1t
will he possible for us to do Gods
will in the future it is possible for
us to do 1t now. Accordingly, it can
no longer be truthfully said by any
one, who, is willing prayerfully to
turn! to divine law for help, that he
is as one "havirig no hope, and
without God In the world" Y
Contrary to common belief, there
is no mystery about Christian Sci
ence healing. Anyone can under
stand it. The clearer one senses its
unlabored simplicity, the easier 1t
is for him to utilize its divine Prin-
ciple. Through this Principle, the
healing power of God becomes avail
able to all as certainly as 1t was to
those Biblical characters whose
lives we contemplate with admira-
tion and reverence. Surely, God
is no respecter Of persons! He
loves YOU and me as iinpartially as
He loved them. The great differ
ence between them and us is due.
not to divine favoritism, but to the
fact that they both recognized that
God loved them and prayerfully re-
joiced in it; whereas we do not. We
are inclined rather to look to the
future In which to utilize the law
of ever present Love; whereas they
knew, in words of Paul, that NOW
