that you live. You may sometimes
wonder about other people. You
may suspect that they are crea-

are absolutely sure that you exist
exist as ar exhibit of Life Gods
witness, to use scriptura1
language.
Where il that LIFE Nearer
than hand or breath or thought il
could be. Paul gives the classical
answer when. in his letter 10 the
Ephesisans. he writes of one God
who il above all and through all
and in You ALL" What sort of
Life must this be? Diseaseless,
sgeless. endless. II is yours, gen.
timely, to the remotest recesses of
being. This is the truth which
will make you free so far az you
recognize and utilize IL.
People have been healed. by the
very arguments you are now lis
tening to. Of such difficulties as
worry. grief. resentment, nnem-
ployment, pneumonia. sinus
trouble, eczema. personal injuries.
impaired sight and hearing. There
is no reason why you should not
be relieved OF your distress i'm
mediately. Expect IL. You have
a right to liberty and usefulness.
We have thought that life comes
and goes. We have supposed that
life is given to one at the time
called birth and taken away at the
time called death. Yet Life does
not come. II does not age, 1t does
not sicken, II does not depart.
Life Is! II was, 1t will be- There
can be no escape from this logic
when 1t In remembered that Life
is God. All of which has tremen-
dous significance when II In recog-
nIzed that man IL an expression
OF Life.
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
In his farewell address To his
people Moses said: II call heaven
and earth to record this day
against you that ! have set before
you life and death, blessing and
cursing. Therefore choose life
that both thou and thy seed may
live" To appearances there have
always been before mankind both
life and death. health and disease,
success and failure. plenty and
poverty. But human beings have
overlooked the Scriptural injunc-
ton.
They might have chosen Life
with all that that implies. but,
giving credence the while to the
devastating suggestions of mortal
mind, usually they have chosen to
make a reality OF disease, mortal
ity. and misfortune. They have
done more. They have argued for
these impositions. So long and so
industriously have they argued
that the belief or mesmerism Of
disease has become part Of uncon.
scious thought.
Thus 1t is that people are some
times beset by diseases they never
have thought or heard Of. And
this liability TO sickness will con-
tinue until men and women rise up
and intellieently challenge disease
as thing that is not necessary,
not true. Such existence as il may
seem to have Is in appearance or
belief or mesmerism rather than
In actually. This Is why disease
and mortality can be overcome.
Were they actual there would be
no alternative but submission.
Human experience consists TO a
considerable degree in making
choices and decisions. Christian
Science acqusints the individual
with the spiritual facts which en-
able him to judge and choose
wisely and rightly. He makes a
right choice. he gives himself a
Science treatment. when he en-
braces Life and renounces every
thing opposed to Life. When he
recognizes that Life is irrepressi-
BILE. unconquerable. ineorruptible.
When he realizes as best he can
that this resistless Life is his. that
II is in full and unrestricted opera
ton right where his infirmity may
seem to be Which means thst
the infirmity is not there, is not
his. is not in existence.
REVOLT AGAINST DISEASE
You do not have to lsten 10
disease when il pretends TO argue
TO you. Really it has no voice, no
intelligence. no symptoms. no pres
ence. no existence. The presence
Of God as boundless Life and Love
makes its presence and existence
impossible. Realize these unalter-
able truths. God has given you
the power. Assert. in definite
