Declare the Work Of God
In the sixty-fourth Psalm We
read, All men shall declare
the work Of God; for they shall
wisely consider Of his doing That
il what Jesus did. That Is what
Christian Science is helping Us TO
do. Instead Of ooncurring in the
works Of the devil and accepting
a. real and unescapable the sick
ness and woes Of material sense.
il teaches US 10 declare the work
Of God" His perfect and harmon
ious spiritual creation and man.
and wisely to consider and think
upon what He has done.
When Jesus healed the blind beg
gar near Jericho, he must have had
very clearly in mind the work of
God" and realized its perfection.
He knew matter could not cause
man to see, any more than il could
cause man TO be. In mans God
given right-mindedness lives mans
eternal right-sightedness. Material
sense said the man had no sight.
But Jesus. conscious OF mans one
ness with overseeing Mind, said to
the patient, Receive thy sight:
thy faith hath saved thee What

ty TO see, Jesus knew, was inalien-
able fr o m mans individuality.
spiritual and perfect. Matters
claim to give sight. and then to
take II away, never altered the
divine fact Before the Masters
clear spiritual thinking the false
assertion OF matter was nullified
and the patient mentally received
and expressed his faculty To see.
There was no treatment of the
body, but a right evaluation of
man as the conscious identify OF
all-seeing Mind.
True sight is never localized in
matter. nor is II subject to time,
organization, or space. To divine
Mind there il no nearsightedness.
no farsightedness, no distortion. or
dimness. These are forms of mate
rial sensation, and as such, wholly
false. Mind sees with the clarity of
Its own light and intelligence all
that fills infinity. from the infini-
tesimal to the infinite. Its seeing is
as perfect as Its being. This lucid
perception Is eternally active and
identified in man. A familiar hymn
might be paraphrased TO read,
I have no sight divided,
All-seeing Mind, from Thee;
In Thee Is sight provided
For all mankind and me.
What We Have Is What We Think
Listen to the conversation around
you on train or bus and you may
hear something like this: 81 have
had a cold for two weeks. It's get
ting to be a bore" Answer, II have
had an operation on my stomach
and may have TO have another in
six months" From neighbor;
"All our family have had shingles,
and say, We had a time of it,

condition Ia ito have" II in his
thought. What an assortment of
troubles mortals have In their
mental kit bags. and how gener-
Gus they are in sharing the exhibit
with all who Will take a look!
Since We can only have a eondi-
ton by having II in thought, It
follows that IL we can root it out
Of thought we will no longer have
II. OF course, we can only root out
what does not belong TO us. The
method Of Kidding ourselves of
what does not belong to us Is
simple. 1t Is by letting the true
idea Of our individuality as spirit
ual. Aindlike. Godlike, 80 fill and
enlighten our consciousness that
we no longer consent to have"
what is really no legitimate condi-
ton, factor. or element OF our true.
God-created being.
Daily. hourly, ask yourself what
