ciple, Love, and leading into all truth
How the world needs that comforting
truth. that Christly love, that revelation
OF divine Principle! Obedience 10 the
rules Of Christian Science does lead
into all truth.
Real Man Obeys Principle
As has been said. spiritual law IN
operation is the activity OF divine Mind.
Mans real being expresses that activity
in obedience to law. The real you. the
real man, is the creation OF God. the
idea OF Mind. the manifestation OF Prin-
ciplc. the reflection OF Love. He is the
likeness OF Spirit, the image OF Truth,
the child OF Life. His business Is to
obey the divine requirements OF the
synonyms OF God. What do | mean by
that: | mean this, in part, II one IS per-
sistcntiy thinking OF his origin OF crea-
tive Mind, or our heavenly Father. one
must, obviously, be claiming for him-
self the qualities OF Minda, such as IN
tclligence, efficiency, alertness, and
wisdom. Ii one is thinking OF himself
as the expression OF Love, naturally he
must be acting like an impression OF
| Love. This means that he will be kind.
wise, friendly, helpful, considcrate and
| compassionate in all his human con-
facts. Realizing oneself to be the re-
Election OF Lie one will eliminate o
consciousness the beliefs OF weakness,
disease, and inactivity. This will re-
move fear OF sickness, contagion, IN
lection, and all the dark beliefs OF age,
failure, loss, decrepitude, and death.
The lie hat man rilects from God, and
he has no other life, knows no change,
deterioration, or end. True lie is not
affected by age or time. is not sad
dencd by loss or loneliness; IS not
shortened by disease or injury; is not
ended by war or death. None OF these
evils can touch the real man, Lies
| vigorous and joyous expression. Jesus
proved this clearly when he haised
from the dead Lazarus, and the son OF
the diwod of Main, and when he healed
cases OF sin and disease. Christian
Scientists, too, are proving these great
spiritual facts, when. through under
standing them they are healing hens
selves, or others, Of sin, disease, lack,
and sorrow. A vast s%troehouse OF au-
thenticated testimony to such healing
has been accommodating, through the
years, in the pages Of The Christian
Science Journal and the Christian Scl-
cncc Sentinel.
Gods law, as expressed in the Ten
Commandments, and the teachings of
Christian Science, requires man to ex-
press Gods nature. Growing into the
realization of our selltood as that
real man, BY growing out Of the belief
that we are mortals, is the work ahead
Of us all. On page l50 OF The First
Church OF Christ, Scientist, and Mis-
c%cllany,' Mrs. Eddy writes Truth, lite
and love are the only legitimate ant
eternal demands upon man; they arr
