The question, What is Truth, and
where may IL be found2 comes TO us
today in many interesting forms
The constant inquiry into the cause
and cure of war, accident, sin, SICK
ness, and death indicates humanitys
desire TO discover the facts regard
ing human conditions, and TO estab-
lish a successful method OF healing.
To some, the human effort 10 nnd
Truth, the truth about man and the
universe, may appear only as WISH
full thinking. But wiser men and
women will view all honest search
throughout the fields OF science,
theology, and medicine with due re-
spect for both the work and the
worker. Everyone is interested in
healing. But how to heal and be
healed, that Is question still being
asked by many persons even after
centuries of exploration, analysis,
and experimentation along prac-
tically every material course.
Christian Science, the perfect
Science of living, reveals that God
in His inspired Word has provided
the perfect answer TO every human
question, together with the only
permanent method of cure. Await
ing the time when all mankind VIII
recognize the truth OF being and be
healed, true Scientists will go on
faithfully working, without fear or
disbursement, without acceptance
Of the thought Of failure or defeat.
Christian Science shows that war,
accident, sin, sickness, and death
can disappear from the earth. Real
izing that nothing but q spiritual
knowledge and understanding OF
God, Truth, will lead the world out
of its distressing conditions, wise
men and women will make even
more vigorous efforts to know, re-
fleet, and express the truth which
God has revealed through this
Science, which all can comprehend
and use.
The Certainty of the Word
Christ Jesus, the greatest thinker
and worker Of all times, as he stood
accused of the Jews, and awaited
Pilates question, What Is TRUTH"
made probably the greatest procla-
nation of healing OF his or any age.
Hear his words and consider their
import: ITO this end was ! born,
and for this cause came l into the
world, that I should bear witness
unto the truth" Christian Science
has appeared In this age to reveal
the truth TO which Jesus referred.
And from Its study and practice We
learn that the end Of Jesus work
was the demonstration Of harmo-
NOUS, eternal life: and that the
cause for which he came, his mis-
sion In the so-called human expert
ence, was the proof OF mans COM
plete unity with and expression OF
the one God who is Love.
Jesus taught that the power he
reflected came from no human
source, that 1t was never dependent
upon any material agency or or
Ranization. Rather did he contin-
ually declare that all real power had
Its origin In divine Principle, the
source of all true being. Shortly
before the crucifixion, the Master
substantiated this fact through his
words: And the glory which thou
gavest me have given them; that
they may be ..Ie, even as we are
one" One in what? One In divine
Spirit, in spiritual authority and
power, one in acknowledgment OF
the real source of good. Jesus words
indicate that he recognized that not
only he himself but everyone pos
sesses the intelligence and ability TO
discern the one good, and, thereby,
understand and demonstrate scien-
tific healing with its provision OF
true substance or supply. Through
a perfect consciousness OF his re-
lation to the Father, Jesus went on
to prove the utter poWerlessness OF
evil Of every sort.
The spiritual understanding OF
God as Father, and OF man as son
or idea of God, enabled Jesus-and
will enable us-to meet every con-
dition with a consciousness OF VIC
tory over evil. II is both correct
and normal TO anticipate health In
body and mind, success in work, and
a peace on earth that Is just and
secure. A demonstration OF true
Science will bring to mankind
sense of brotherhood that can never
be overthrown. Mortal mind, so
called, with its legions OF erroneous
suggestions and wrong methods OF
work, would have us believe that
Christianity-and those who prac-
tice its powerless before the hosts
of evil But the inspired Word OF
the Bible, combined with the teach
ings OF Christian Silence, will con-
tinue TO refute all such false claims.
The certainty Of the divine Word,
and the positive surety OF its ulti-
mate fulfillment. find ready admis-
sion and acceptance by those who
refuse to acknowledge evil as perma-
nent and real.

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer,
Founder, and Leader of Christian
Science, loved God above all else.
