TO see and know that the truth OF
the universe Is peace. inyiolate,
actual peace. never for one instant

the universe Is Spirit. inyincible in

which sweeps away "the refuge Of

fore Is being made by the carnal
mind TO mesmerize humanity into
accepting its claims. particularly the
claim that might makes right. and
that material force Is power. Under
this mesmerism mems hearts fail
for fear. and their minds are at
times darkened by doubt and dis
may. They doubt the power OF good
and question God. They question
the presence OF justice and mercy in
the land. They feel themselves help
less before the hypnotic suggestion
OF confusion and defeat.
II Is imperative that we turn away
from this false mentality. with its
dark pictures OF delusive beliefs. TO
that one Mind whose supremacy Is
never invaded and whose invincible
brightness outshines all the hypnotic
beliefs OF boastful materially.
In the infinite Mind or Spirit there
Is not and never has been war.
Christian Science enables us to keep
awake TO this inyincible fact. God is
governing His universe In immu-
table Righteousness and justice. His
will Is being done on earth as II Is in
heaven. The call has come to every
Christian Scientist. yea. 70 every
Christian, TO stand unmoyed with
this dictum OF Scripture: Not by
might. nor by power but by my
spirit. saith the Lord OF hosts" The
Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
There must be no doubt OF this
invincible truth. As we stand In
intelligent awareness OF it. II will
be our privilege 70 see "the refuge
OF lies" the pretended forces OF evil,
swept away before the on1nipotence
OF that Truth which alone makes
free. Man Is free Each one OF you.

being. let this mind be In you,
which was also In Christ Jesus" and

with Christ hath made US free"
