whereas sound business be built right ideas and
the desire to In other walks of life people hear
argument that social drinking is necessary for lasting
friendships. But congenia relationships and
happiness are not built appetites pleasures which
enslave They be built unsel6shness strength of
character and the ability to think clearly
Mr.. Paxton found this true. Social drinking led
eventually to loss of his business his friends even his
home Human will power didn't bring reform But at this
low ebb there awakening. Through Christian
Science he learned how to avail himself of the help of
divine Love- God the unalng of all that brings
reform to human character. By relying God he
came completely and permanently the false appetite
Through the understanding of God he found his friend
ships improved his assured his recreation
genuine. In place of bondage he found happiness and
freedom
If you wonder how Christian Science deals with the
problem of false appettes let tell you that the
doesn't involve the loss of anything worthwhile But
does looking in the right direction for good fellow
ship, enjoyment and very simple statement
of Christ Jesus tells where look for peace of
mind He said, "Your Father knoweth what things ye
have need Of before we ask him. He said ALSO ASK, and
we shall receive
Now might say, This sounds good in theory, but
how God be of any help in my business and
social conacs?" In Christian Science find that God
is not remote far-of being. We learn under

God gives % in His likeness. The ability for clear
thinking and right decisions is gained by dung ones
mentality, but by learning keep thought

in water.
Sometimes people turn to alcohol to feel at with
others But cannot overcome of insecurity in
this way We find peace by understanding mans
inseparable relationship to God. We cannot solve our
problems by running away from them. We conquer
of nadequacy by learning the dominion and ability
which belong created by perfect Mind True hos
pality does not depend upon what guests
but from the heart-and down underneath
everyone knows it. Realizing this you dare to be
different
But suppose one unable to control false APP
petite Here also the remedy lies in reliance the
of God in dilgent scientific prayer, and in daily syste
matte efforts uplift and purify thought God has al
ready endowed the real man-your real nature-with
moral strength courage, and purity This what Chris
tian Science taught guest.
