all things never has been seen in the
darkness of mortal material concepts. In
the light Of spiritual understanding in
dividuality or true identity is cleary de-
fined.
Followers Of Christian Science find
that the daily study Of the Christian
Science Lesson-Sermon found in the
Christian Science Quarterly, is most help
ful to their progress in the understand
ing OF GOD, man, and the universe. These
Bible Lessons" give a correct and
demonstrable Interpretation of various
Scriptural texts, through the use Of cor
relative passages from Science and
Health, and thus enable the student TO
grasp the health-giving and life-giving
truths Of Christian Science. Also they
make clear the practicality and power Of
Jesus demonstrations Of mans divine
sonship. Studied daily they are found
TO be a source Of continually increasing
enlightenment.
Gods Perpetual Demand
It is stated in Science and Health
(p. 255), Let there be light is the
perpetual demand Of Truth and Love,
changing chaos into order and discord
into the music of the spheres" These
changes take place in the human con-
sciousness through Christianly scientific
demonstration.
Looking back over the past centuries
one may well be appalled, at the results
of the consideration of man from the
viewpoint Of material sense testimony.
What do we find? Apparently the belief
that light and darkness can dwell to-
gether-a haphazard existence and di-
sease regarded as realities and oftentimes
God-sent, poverty and sorrow always
strongly in evidence, wars and disasters
becoming ever more violent, and death
regarded as an inescapable reality
truly a chaotic sense Of things.
But the light Of Christian Science re-
veals man as God created him, in His
own likeness and having domination over
all the earth. This enlightenment dis
places the darkness Of ignorant beliefs
about man, shows the unreality of sin,
eliminates discordant physical conditions,
confers health and peace of mind. The
chaotic sense of things gives place to
orderlineSs, and the discords of sense no
longer hold sway In their stead "the
music Of the spheres pervades human
consciousness-heave music, music of
the new tongue, such music as is indi-
Gated in the first two verse Of Mrs.
Eddy's lovely poem, Christ My Refuge" " /
A wealth Of spiritual meaning mfolds
from these inspiring words.
"Oer waiting harpstrings Of the
mind
There sweeps a strain,
Low, sad, and sweet, whose measures
bind
The power Of pain,
And wake a white-winged angel
throng
OF thoughts, illumed
BY faith, and breathed in raptued
song,
With love perfumed.
Gratitude Has Great Potency
Day after day throughout the world,
through the ministrations of Christian
Science, the sacred work of changing
chaotic, sinful, siclly, discordant think
ing into orderliness goes on, thus caus-
ing songs Of praise and gratitude to rise
from overflowing hearts to the all-loving
Father and Mother Of all.
And how lovely a characteristic is
gratitudel In healing it has great poten-
cy A little boy 1 once knew was play
fully running away from his mother just
as fast as he could go, and suddenly
fell His legs were badly bruised Pain
fully he got on his feet, but did not
attempt to go to his mother; his mother,
however, ran to him He put his hands
over his face and turned to God declar-
Ing, between sobs, his gratitude because
he knew that he was spiritual, and there
lore could not be hurt-that it was just
error trying to make him believe that
he was, But am not" he declared,
I couldn't be, because am Gods per-
ect child" In a few minutes he re-
'umed his playing, and the bruises al
most Immediately disappeared.
With the true Christian Scientist
ratitude is spontaneous. When prob
ems arise, his first thought is to turn
ratehillv and happilv To God in full
