readily admit that a dream is no part

it was never true. A dream that depicts
events which seemed to have happened
twenty years ago is no more true than
one which portrays events of the present.
A divine fact is always true. but a false
belief is not true and never was true.
The Bible declares, When I awake. I
am still with thee" AS We awake out of
the dream of evil, we cognize the eternal
verify that we are in the realm of divine
reality and have never been outside of it.
A young man, who was Just starting
out in the business world, was associated
with a man who had a very serious con-
dition of the eyes. This condition seemed
to create quite a fear in the young
mans thought, and many times this IN
toward condition would occur to his con-
seriousness. After the young man had be-
come a student of Christian Science.
this seeming condition came into his ex-
perience in a very violent form, causing
much suffering. One day, as a result of
his knowledge of Christian Science, he
saw clearly that this disease had never
been any part of Gods creation or divine
actually. He was simultaneously healed.
and the difficulty vanished and was gone
forever. Full freedom was his when he
saw that the trouble was not true and
never had been. Paul admonishes us to
forget those things which are behind. A
Christian Scientist does not merely for
get undesirable things which have hap
pened in the past, but he has learned
that they never were any part of Gods
wholly good creation.
Evil only False Belief
When I was a lad I lived in a section
of the country where many good people
believed. firmly in the existence of ghosts.
In our immediate neighborhood was an
empty house which they thought was a
place where ghosts held forth. Evening
after evening a number of people would
congregate in front of this house and
watch the antics of the ghosts. Mys-
FERROUS lights would appear and give
forth a strange illumination. Finally it
was discovered that some practical joker
had put ONE phosphorus on the walls.
and that this was the cause of the mys-
FERROUS lights. When this was found out,
it was the end of the ghost business.
Now what became Of the ghosts? They
never werel They only seemed to exist
in human, material belief. They we're
never actualities, but f~alsities. What a
helpful and healing truth we find in the
Christian Scien9e textbook CpL 953):
The true idea Of being is spiritual and
immortal, and from this it follows that
whatever is laid off is the ghost, some
unreal belief"
Expectancy of Good
Christian Science frees us and redeems
us from any anxiety, apprehension, or
dread of the future. God is infinitely
good, and He provides for His creation
that which will bless, help, and protect
his own. The sun can only give forth
light; and God can give only good, for
He has nothing else to give. In the
Scriptures we read, MY expectation is
from him" and again we read, There
shall be a reward, and thy expectation
shall not be cut off" AS we think truly
and live nobly, we gain a greater ex-
pectancy of good, experience more of it,
enjoy it in a greater measure. A traveller
was once going through a mountainous
country. One day when he was looking
out of the car window, there appeared
to be a beautiful lake in the clouds, and
the tops of the peaks seemed like islands
in the lake. The explanation was SIM
Pile. The train had reached an altitude
where one could secure this beautiful
view, which could not possibly have been
cen from a lower level. AS we reach
