without this change, no one can
reasonably expect to reach that mar
monious state of consciousness 10
which the Master referred as the
kingdom of heaven.
Writing on page 26 of Science
and Health. Mrs. Eddy says, our
Master taught no mere theory, doc
trine. or belief. 1t was the divine
Principle of all real being which
he taught and practiced. His proof
of Christianity was no form or sys-
tenn Of religion and worship, but
, Christian Science working out the
harmony of Life and Love'-setting
himself and others free mentally and
morally, physically and economi-
cally.
Because it is based upon divine
principle. which abideth forever and
leadeth the spiritually obedient into
all truth, Christian Science is man
kinds best friend and true COM
forter. 1t is capable of answering
every question. solving every prob
lem, and supplying every need. Why,
then, should anyone hesitate longer
about going to the nearest public
! library or the nearest Christian Sci
ence Reading Room and asking for
a copy of Mrs. Eddy's notable book?
Science and Health has healed 9TH
ers; it can heal you. Owing to the
spiritual light which this unique
volume throws upon the teachings
cf the Bible, Mrs. Eddy has estab-
| liShed that for which all the world
has been waiting; namely, a prac-
tical, workable, q satisfying reli-
gion.

man is not a mortal, either imper-
feet or perfect but that-as Gods
likeness man is incorporeal, in
organic, spiritual. Having lifted
thought to this true sense of being,
one can readily see that whatever
seems to be unlike Spirit must be
unreal-that is, a material sense or
false concept of reality. Hence, all
mistken beliefs can be made to dis
appear before the understanding
that God is the only Mind and that
man, or true existence is Minds
infinite idea.
Thus one can see that what is
called the human body does not
affect ones thinking as much as
ones thinking affects the body, as
we'll as all other phases of human
experience, including ones home,
ones business, ones country, and
even ones world. We are not in
them, as we may have believed, but
they are in uS,-thaU is. in what we
call our mind or consciousness. How
important, then, that ones point of
view be found more and more on
the side of the spiritual, the good,
and true Mrs. Eddy makes this
clear on page 208 of Science and
Health, where she writes: "a mate
rial body only expresses material
and mortal mind. A mortal man
possesses this body, and he makes
it harmonious or diScordant accord
ing to the images of thought i'm
pressed upon it. You embrace your
body in your thought. and you
should delineateSupon it thoughts of
health, not of sickness"
What have heretofore seemed to
be material persons, circumstances
and things, Christian Science un-
covers as states and stages of belief
They are never "over there, but
always "here"-in individual con-
sciouSneSs. Accordingly, we can al
ways change what seem to be objec-
tive conditions by dealing with them
subjectively, in the realm of thought,
by progressively surrendering fin
ite, three-d -dimensional beliefs to the
infinite Mind called God, to whom
only spiritual good is occurring ev-
eryWhere, all the time.
Some Helpful Hints
Now, this so-called mind or mate
rial sense may be suggesting that
you are afraid; that you believe that
evil has power. But God is omni-
Imperial Valley press., 1940-12-04

present Truth; hence, in Him there
is no fear, nothing to be afraid OF,
and no mortals susceptible to fear
nor any other frailty. 1t may be
arguing that you are critical or crit
icized, hateful or hated. But God
is infinite Love; hence everything
in His universe is loving, lovable
and beloved, 1t may be arguing that
you are confused, forgetful, and
lacking in ability. But God is the
all-knowing Mind; hence, His like
ness, man, always knows what
should be done and expresses the
intelligence and ability with which
to do it,
This false sense may be suggest
ing that your eyesight is dim or your
hearing impaired. But sight and
hearing must abide in infinite Spir-
it. hence they are as omnipresenl
as God. They have nothing to dc
with organized matter. either good
or bad. They are as permanent ano
indestructible as Spirit. They are
safe in the heavenly Fathers keep
ing. Is not the reflection of all-dis-
cerning, l-comprehending Mind the
all-seeing and all-hearing man?
Surely, if the cause of sight ano
hearing is changeless, the effect
must be changeless also!
If personal sense is whispering
that man is material and that false
appetite and other forms of sensual
ity are natural, you can turn the lie
upon itself in the awareness that
true existence is not subject to ami
mality, for man is incorporeal, hence
inorganic; he is spiritual, hence sim
less. If personal sense is declaring
that man must die. reject the lie IL
the assurance that man lives eter-
nally, because he reflects God, who
is omnipresent, changeless Life.
Accepting the fact of mans like
ness to the Infinite and. in the fore
going manner, applying this truth
to whatever phase of evil may pre-
set itself at the door of conscious
ness, we can progressively put of
the So-called "old man" and become
more and more aware of the ''neN
man" or true selfhood Writing ir

New and startling things are
happening in the fashion industry
but none is more thrilling and
revolutionary than the miraculous
change in knitted fabrics and
clothes. Heretofore woolknits
meant classic, unchanging, un-
smart dresses often two-piece
numbers with a belt tied around
the middle, sausage like-usually
sagging. stretching and springing.
Three factors have brought
woolknits into fashion prominence:
1. New textures In great variety
have been developed so that the
fabrics themselves are important
fashion news.
:. The clothes have all been
STYLED smartly by outstanding de-
signers-msking sophisticated cos
tunes for town as well as beauti-
full costumes for country and
casual wear.
5. The new fabrics are 30 pro-
cessed that they don't shrink,
stretch. sag or spring.
We must discard our former
conception of a woolknit dress. The
sagging. tubular. slazy knitted
dress Is gone-thank heaven!

Donut Games
Are Popular

Having donut party seems to
be the newest rage. Some of the
smartest affairs that we've heard
about lately have not only served
donuts as the ideal refreshment
snack, but have also introduced
many novel new donut games.
An old fashioned game favorite
is the donut bobbing contest. The
donuts are tied to strings and sus-
pended from another overhead
string that is kept wiggling. Nat
urally. the donuts jump about just
as the contestants. who have had
their hands tied behind their backs,
try to take bite of their donut.
The person finishing the entire do
nut first is the winner.
In the donut nose pushing race.
the contestants must push donut
along a table. with their noses,
from the starting line to the VIM
ming end. The first to reach the
finish line is the winner.
Donut treasure hunts are very
popular. Thirteen donuts are hid
den around the room. The person
finding and then eating the most
donuts gets a prize. Donut elimi-
nation dances are also popular.
Three or four donuts are hing over
head. The music stops suddenly
and all couples not under a donut
are asked TO sit down. When only
three or four couples are left, all
but one donut is taken down. The
last couple to dance under that
donut is the winner. All couples
must keep moving all the time.
