reality there is nothing to fear, to in
duce fear or support fear, There is
nothing there to frighten man or inter
fere with his freedom, harmony, peace,
or joy. There is no power contrary to
good that can enslave man. The Psalm
ist declared, L will walk at liberty; for
seek thy precepts." The precepts OF
God show us that His power is operating
for the good of all that He has made,
and as we walk in the light of this truth,
fear departs, and His peace is continu-
ally with us.
True SelfhOOd
Nothing is more conducive to liberty
than a true sense of individuality. God
is infinite good, and as we discern this
divine verify we see clearly that mans
true selfhood must express goodness,
Righteousness, and virtue. In the Scrip
lures we learn, THE righteous shall in
herit the land, and dwell therein for
ever" The word right" means that
which is true, faultless, genuine, real, or
actual" The real man can inherit only
that which comes from his Father
Mother God. The man Of Gods Great
ing, the Son of the Highest inherits
the wealth Of Love, the goodness Of good,
the harmony of Soul, the glory Of Mind.
When we have r%ightfully and lawfully
received an inheritance, the law pro-
tects us in our enjoyment of it. OF this
genuine man the Bible declares, Thou
madest him to have dominion over the
works of thy hands; thou hast put all
things under his feet" This dominion
is a. constituent part of mans inherit
ance, and can never be taken away. He
cannot be separated from it, for it is for
ever associated with his true identity.
In u human relationships we naturally
try to associate with the very highest
and best-with those who express noble
qualities and high ideals. AS we Identify
ourselves with the real man, the man of
Gods creating, the spiritually good and
real are manifested in US and through
US; we associate ourselves with them.
True Concept Brings Freedom
1t sometimes happens in human ex-
pelience that an innocent person is
%wrongfully accused. We learn in Chris
tan Science that mans real self is the
reflection of Gods goodness. To iden-
tify ourselves with any other concept Of
man is always a case of mistaken iden-
tity. To accept as real a mortal con-
cept of man brings bondage and r~estric-
ton. To acknowledge only the divine
concept brings freedom and liberation.
To believe in a mortal, material concept
of man letters and limits US. The text
book Of Christian Science tells us that
the letters Of mans finite capacity are
forged by the illusion that he lives in
body instead of in Soul, in matter in
stead of in Spirit (Science and Health,
p. 223). When we live in a certain
community we are necessarily subject
to the laws of that community. AS we
perceive our true selfhood, we see that
man lives in good, dwells in the kingdom
of good, and is subject only to the laws
of good. The letters of evil drop away,
for we are no longer in the domain of
error, but we are in the jurisdiction of
God, where freedom is the rightful and
normal condition of nan
Liberation Through Right Thinking
Christian Science declares and proves
that true freedom is the inevitable result
of right knowing. The results Of this
right knowing are beautifully set forth
in the Scriptures when they declare that
the creature itself also shall be delivered
from the bondage Of corruption into the
glorious liberty Of the children of God
TO deliver" means Ito set free from
restraint; to set at liberty In the pas
sage quoted from the Christian Science
textbook. showing us how our freedom
is won, we learn that the letters of sin.
sickness. and death must be stricken
from the human mind and are replaced
and dispelled by the divine facts Of the
divine Mind, they disappear from human
experience. All that ever restricts mans
enjoyment Of the fullness of health ano
harmony. all that seems to produce suf-
fering, is some theory, false belief, Oh
erroneous concept which the Science Of
right thinking or knowledge Of Truth
destroys. "Ye shall know the truth, ano
the truth shall make you free not in a
far-off future, but here and now.
