Invulnerable Armaments

~
n able" as incapable of being
a wounded or of receiving in
Jury" Invulnerable armament, then,
is armament that is incapable of be-
ing penetrated; and only spiritual
armament is actually invulnerable.
Everyone desires to feel secure and
serene, to feel that there is an in
vulnerable protection shielding him
at all times.
To know that every righteous
thought and act has divine, hence in
vulnerable, protection and immunity
from evil is great Joy and comfort
to spiritually enlightened men and
women. In the factory, office, home,
on the highway, in the air-yes, even
at the battles front, if need be--he
whose thought dwells in God has
found the one invulnerable arma-
ment. No matter how sorely he is
tried, how severely he is tempted, if
his faith in God remains steadfast, if
his allegiance to Truth, Life, and
Love is firm, he will find true Mary
Baker Eddy's words on page 277 OF
miscellaneous Writings" where she
SAYS: "No evidence before the ma
terial senses can close my eyes to the
scientific proof that God, good, is SUI
preme. Though clouds are round
about Him, the divine justice and
Judgment are enthroned. Love is eS-
pecially near in times of hate, and
never so near as when one can be
just amid lawlessness, and render
good for evil"
The Psalmist proclaimed invulner-
able the spiritual armament of the
righteous, when he sang Psalms 81:
l, 5, y: Gle that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Al
mighty. =. Thou shalt not be afraid
for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day. %. A thou
sand shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand; but it
shall not come nigh thee"
Invulnerable spiritual armament is
practical and concrete, available in
human experience. :. God, who is
Life, Truth, and Love, is invulner-
able, and man, His image and like
ness, or reflection, is therefore invul-

disaster, lack, limitation, fear, igno-
rance, and superstition. :. In his
vision, the Revelator, John, saw 'the
holy city, new Jerusalem" that d.
vine, heavenly state of consciousness
in which is no evil, and he said (Rev-
citation 81 :27), "There shall in no
wise enter into it any thing that de-
fileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh lie." Mrs.
Eddy has said (Science and Health,
p. 228), "The transmission of disease
or of certain idiosyncrasies of mortal
mind would be impossible if this
great fact of being were learned,-
namely, that nothing inharmonious
can enter being, for Life is God"
Does anyone doubt these inspired
statements? Then let him read the
eleventh chapter Of Hebrews in the
New Testament, which recounts
many instances of divine protection
and deliverance experienced by those
whose faith in God never wavered in
times of trouble and temptation.
"God is no respecter of persons"
(Acts 1O:34), and His love and tender
care are as available to one as
another. When understood, Gods
goodness is seen to be everywhere;
when it is utilized, the sick are
healed, the lame made whole, the
dumb regain speech, the blind see,
and happiness, peace, and JOY reign
supreme where discord formerly
held sway.
Spiritual armament is invulner-
able, because Spirit or God fills all
space, and there is no other presence
or power. The recognition of this di-
vine fact excludes from ones con-
seriousness the belief of another pres
ence or power. shutting out of
thought and experience the evils of
belief and the belief in evil.
Christ Jesus said Mark 12:30),
Chou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with
all thy strength. This is invulner-
able spiritual armament.-The Chris
