port of his mission, and the thing he suffered to give to us. Perhaps his greatest sorrow was caused by the thought that mankind might misinterpret his mission.
 One may ask, How can know that I have found the truth in Christian Science? Obviously. by it's fruits. One has but to look about him today to sec the re- suits of Christian Science. one cannot fail to see the. fruits Ii he is willing to look. and wants to see. Thousands of testimonies, both verbal and printed every day pour forth from grateful hearts, for there is no part of the Christ ianized world today where the ligh, of this truth does not shine. The Bible has been ilIumined, and has become the textbook it rightly should be.
 Who Is My Neighbor?
 T think Jesus favorite. method of painting a picture, and pointing a lesson, must have been the par able, for he used 1t so often, Prob ably one of the. most familiar O. his parables is The Good Samari- tan Neighborliness is part of that universal language of Love which is understood and appreciat- ed wherever and by whomever il may be expressed. think we arc justified in considering this par able the most complete and com prehensive story ever written on the subject, and one which the world very much needs to think about today.
 ITO love ones neighbor as one self means to sec him as God secs him, and think of him only in terms of good It means looking { beyond the evidence of the ma : terial senses, discarding the coua- terfeit for the real. Christian Sci ence teaches that we may minis ter to everyone upon whom our thoughts rest by lifting our thought about them away from the mortal concept to the perfect idea of God.
 When one earnestly and honest ly seeks to know what is his part : in helping to improve national and international affairs, he mus. realize that first and last, just as in his own business, his work lies in his own right thinking. His part is to start and continue with scien- tific right thinking within his own consciousness.
 "Proportionately as he ejects er- roneous conclusions from his own thinking his immediate affairs iin- prove. His business, his family, and other human relationships are bene- fited, and his scientific right think ing becomes an active factor for the betterment of his community, the nation of which he is citi- zen, and, in it's measure, inevitably a healing influence in world af- fairs.
 We can begin right where we are to practice prayer by refusing to voice error or claim for ourselves the things we do not wish to ! manifest. What cheerful round of conversations this old world would enjoy if this were universally observed! Just check up on your self for one day and see how many declarations concerning your body, your business, your home, and so on, you make that you are really desirous of eliminating, rather than manifesting in your experience. And then see how many times you can resist the temptation to voice evil, and deny it's false suggestions by declaring good.

Every phase of wrong reasoning would limit the accom- plishment of good in some .direc- tion,, based mostly upon the as- sumption that each one has limit ed amount of health, happiness. &C., tivity, or supply portioned out to him, and when he has used it up, i it is depleted. One may believe that he has used his share and should not expect to have any more. It is through the infiniture of divine Mind that limits are denied and broken. The antidote for the fear of, and the belief in. limitation oh- vioalsly is the understanding that God is infinite, limitless. and that the inexhaustihle good which He continuously, supplies for His chil- dren can never be diminished, used up, or overdrawn. .@t
