the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man. that

vsest him? Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands, thou hast all things under his
feet"
1t was as if had read: "Infnte space is filled with
Gods presence, and there place, however small,
where it is possible to ina CINE Gods absence We are,
therefore, INCREASINGLY day and night whether know
not in the aness of divine space, and conscious
Of this truth gives the that for
protected from all dangers and per whether of
international, collective, individual nature"
The happiness which felt hardly be expressed
in human terms No change had taken place in my
roundngs and yet would have said that had been
ried into the heavenly kingdom
The following passage in Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy brought
further JOY Up. 33: God is individual incorporeal He
divine Principle, Love, the universal cause, the only
creator, and there other selfexistence He is al
inclusive, and reflected by all that real and eternal
and by nothing else He fills all space, and it is impossible
to conceive of such omnpresence and individuality
infinite Spirit Mind Hence all is Spirit and Spiritual"
All of the quoted here stood out % in high
relief. But the words "He fills all space like
entirely revelation to though had read them
perhaps thousand times during my study of Christian
Science.
If it is difficult for believe God who fills all
space, it is because believing in creations
another and involving limitations separations,
and goes without saying that hatred
social njustice political conflicts and other Affections of
humanity the effects of this false belief. The reaiza-
ton of nseparablity from God unity,
safety, and peace in eternal perfection.
When space o longer the abyss of the
known when fidelity Christian Science enables
recognize the perfect reflection of God shall
longer need to be uneasy regarding fellow
than should be about itself, shall
be able and them longer mortal and app
pearng by chance, but eternal ideas of divine Mind,
which gives them through its continual life,
peace, liberty and well-beng.
Several months ago, as | doing my daily Bible
reading this passage arrested my attention Chron a.
lO): "And Jabez called the God of Israeli saying Oh
that woudst bless indeed and enlarge coast,
and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou
wouldst keep from evil, that it may not grieve me!
And God granted him that which he requested The hrst
part of the statement had clear message for That
with its deep desire for enlargement of spiritual
understanding touched my heart 1t made know that
my own coast would be enlarged, extended to make
room greater mental capacity for wider vision of
the space which filled with God and His ideas and of
the possibilities of who is made in the likeness of his
The prayer also seemed to parallel those
sublime words of Christ Jesus Luke 1920, "As the
lightning that lghteneh out of the part under heav-
en-, shneth the other part under heavens shall
also the Son of be in his day"
Through the study of the Bible and the works of Mrs.
Eddy students of Christian Science daily improve their
concept of the that governed by immortal Mind
thus acquire and greater understanding of
divine Love. Living the atmosphere of eternal good
they the pretensions of evil disappear from
their experience. With unalloyed JOY they whole
adhere the truth of these lines from Science
and Health Up. 469): There be but Mind, be-
cause there is but Cod and if mortals claimed
other Mind and accepted other would be unknown
We can have Mind if that is infinite We bury
the sense of nnude, when admit that although God
is infinite evil has place this innity for evil have
no place, where all space is filled with God"
