accept God as a tender Shepherd,
whose flock was never without His
loving care? He II was who, in

eternal goodness, and IN works he
proved what he knew and told. He

how 10 believe and not be afraid.
From the message of our Saviour
there has come a wealth OF love.

are done in perfect accord with the
law divine?
Long after David, there appeared
woman whose love and search for
Truth brought her finally to the con-
clnsiOn OF the Psalmist and our Mas
ter, and she, tOO, saw God as He
really Is. This woman, Mary Baker
Eddy, in desperate need, after many
years of experimental research In al
most every method OF healing, turned
to the Holy Scriptures to discover, in
the teachings of Christ Jesus. the

Testament writings, the inspiring
prophecies of the Bible. To her dis
cOvery Mrs Eddy gave the name Of
Christian Science. for she recognized
il as the Science OF the Christ, the
true law of Life. And 1t is from this
Science that we draw tonight every
thought of good or helpfulness, every
conclusion we may reach. Through
Mrs. Eddy's concept OF the one God,
our heavenly Father, as revealed in
Christian Science, we are hound to
discover the only Saviour and Re
deemer, the healing Truth which
never fails.
Let us consider briefly the times
of David, look again into his words
to discover something of their spirit.
Why did he compare God to the
shepherds? What does II mean to
you and to me? In Dayid's day,
shepherd was no mere. labOrer or
herder of lambs. Sheep at that time
represented almost the entire wealth
OF a nation whose pursuits were
largely agricultural Most OF a rich
mans sO-call,.d substance consisted
OF the fOcks he owned. A shepherd,
because Of the Importance OF his
work, must have been chosen with
the greatest Of care, for did not the
owner entrust to him practically all
the goods he possessed? When David
expressed his sense of God as a low
Ing Shepherd, surely he saw in Him,
IN absolute Truth. Wliat r6lig gioasiy-.
minded persons must ever desire 10
zee. to know and prove. David, or
tho writer OF the Psalm, has helped
All mankind TO understand God.
what He is, and what He does for
man. Acknowledging Him as tender
Father Mother, surely helps 10 elm
mate fear Of want or Thought Of foe.
Isn't ii wise to give our Substance
and health into His keeping? .'IIe
shall feed his flock like shepherd.
and gently lead those that are
with young.
The Bible aud Prophecy
"The Lord God hath spoken. who
can but prOphesy?" These words of
Amos, a man who loved IiOd deYOt-
eCly, reveal the mission OF the spirit
ually-mInded. As early as 500 b. c..
he called to tho people to awaken
from their satisfaction in -andS de-
VOtiOn to material possessions. With
uhbOunded courage he took up arms
against the evils OF his day essen

and were Obedient TO His law.

The prophecy OF people who

and repeated in the writings OF Mrs.
Eddy. points directly 70 the enduring
nature OF all that is good, and the
eventual disappearance Of what is
not--the beliefs Of sin. disease, and
death. With the coming OF good in
