replied that the reason Daniel wa.
there only one night was because
he was willing to think spiritually
and find his unity with God, and
not be bamboozled by the material
senses and animate error. Further

There is comfort in the thought
expressed by Mrs. Eddy on page

she says, 'Earth's preparatory
school must be improved TO the
Human experience may
be regarded as preparatory
school. Let us be diligent in learn

values, real art, spiritual law. d.

up our grades in this preparatory
school. No one has yet attained

Jacob learned his lessons in this
school and sometimes he did not
learn them very willingly. Duplic-
ity. he had to learn, WAS of no
value, and human ambition and
self-will were likewise nothing to
claim for his own. The angel, or
higher sense, with which he wres-
tied at Peniel, had, 1t appears, TO

A Fact for Every Falsity
There is a spiritual idea. or fact,
for every material falsity. or coun-
terfact. II is important for the
student TO see the import of this.
Often one comes to Christian
Science to be healed Of disease.
His study establishes in his
thought that man. as Gods image.
is spiritual, healthy. and harmoni-
Gus. That fact understood heals
him. But he soon discovers there
are many other human problems
TO be solved besides health Then
he digs deeper into spiritual real
ity and discovers that no matter
what sort OF a distorted material
picture material sense may pre-
sent, there is in the spiritual idea
Of existence the higher fact that

from his experience.
For instance, many human prob

relationships in homes, IN BUSH

man wills keeps men AZ war. I
once knew a man who had had
some problems as a result of I'M
happy relationships. He recognized
the fault was not all on the other
side, and one day remarked
Really. I have a fine disposition

me alone" He was OF the sort
who should have been tagged.
