 Two Christian scientists were riding in that early hour of the morning known as the darkest hour before dawn. Only the objects re- 'vealed by the headlights of the car could be seen. Gradually the gray forms of the trees and bushes be- came visible; then as more light appeared the grasses and flowers along the roadside were seen. As they rode along these two people thought of beautiful passage in the Christian Science textbook. The author, Mrs. Eddy, is discussing the first verse of the twenty-first chap ter of the book of Revelation, And I saw new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea- Of this passege Mrs. Eddy says, in part Science and Health, p. 573): The Revelator was on our plane of ex- istence, while yet beholding what the eye cannot see,-that which is invisible to the uninspired thought This testimony of Holy Writ sus- tains the fact in Science, that the heavens and earth to one human consciousness, that consciousness which God bestows, are spiritual, while to another, the unilluminated human mind, the vision is ma terial.'

Then through the healing of friend or the hearing of a Christian Science lecture, the reading of a religious lecture, the reading of religious article on The Home Forum page of The Christian Science Monitor, or in the Chris tian Science Sentinel, or The Chris tian Science Journal, the light of Christian Science appears A wholly new aspect of life is revealed as more and more of this God-be- slowed light of Truth shines forth; the individual comes to know that there is but one Mind and that this Mind is his Mind, because he is the reflection of God. He be- comes willing to put off the belief of having mind of his own apart from God and to discover that consciousness which God bestows' as the only real consciousness, his only real being.
 Given up to die, as the result of a severe fall on the ice, with friends and relatives gathered in her home in sad expectation of her passing on, Mrs Eddy turned to her Bible, which she had long loved and studied. She turned to the ac- count of Jesus healing of the pal sled man in the ninth chapter of Matthew. She says of this ex- perience Miscellaneous Writings, p. 24) As I read, the healing truth dawned upon my sense; and the result was that I rose, dressed and ever after was in better health than had before enjoyed. That short experience included glimpse of the great fact that I have since tried to make plain to others, namely, Life in and of
