clear in Christian Science, mar
riage partakes of its true nature,
wherein is revealed mans COM
pleteneSs as the full expression
of-divine Love, and each partner
is able to meet and solve the
problems of earthly life and to
hallow the union of affection
whereby the heart finds peace
and home.
Gods Children Reflect Loves
Perfection
Children of Christian Science
homes with the advantage of a
higher spiritual sense of being
should be able to demonstrate
more confident intellectS, better
balanced minds, and sounder
constitutions. Childen of Chris
tian Science homes partake of
the beauty and harmony of their
parents understanding of Loves
divine nature and in turn reflect
it in their life, their school activ-
ties, their relationships with
others, and in healthy conStitu-
tions. Passing years bring an
increasing proof that JOY and
peace are eternal qualities which
progressively unfold in the home
united in the radiance of divine
Love.
How Christian Science Heals
The question is often asked by
the stranger, "How does Christi
an Science heal?" One answer
could well be, BY bringing to hu-
man consciousness the spiritual
understanding of the true nature
of man and the universe and by
its exposure of the illusory ma
ture of matter. The healing pow
er of Christian Science rests on
the christianity scientific basis of
being. Mrs. Eddy writes: THE
Scripture declares, The Lord
He is God (good); there is none
else beside Him Even so, har-
mony is universal, and diScord
is unreal. Christian Science de-
clares that Mind is substance,
also that matter neither feels,
suffers, nor enjoys. Hold these
points strongly in view. Keep in
mind the verify of being,-that
man is the image and likeness
of God, in whom all being is
painless and permanent" (Sci-
ence and Health, p. 414). And
later she writes: when the il
lusion of sickness or sin tempts
you, cling steadfastly to God and
His idea. Allow nothing but His
! k e n S to abide in your
though" (Science and Health, p
495).
The world is increasingly re-
cognizing and admitting the pow
erleSSneSS of matter to bring
health, security, or peace, and
is turning to God divine
Mind - for an answer to its
problems. Many nations are
looking away from material
force as the highest means of
peace. Many individuals are
turning away from material re-
medieS as a means of healing.
They are looking to divine in
telligence, divine Mind, as a So
luton to their problems. War
fare is becoming increasingly a
barrage of ideologies which mat
erial weapons are powerleSS Ell
ther to solve or dissolve, and
which the understanding of Spir-
it, Truth, alone can clarity. The
unreliability of material reme-
dies is yielding to the power of
divine Mind to heal the conflicts
and inSecuritieS of hum a n
thought, the source of most bodi-
ly Ills. Medical and physical sci
entiStS are progressively seeing
the inability of material reme-
des to permanently heal and the
powerleSSneSS of material force
to bring peace. Statesmen and
modern theologianS are recog-
nizing that the deStinieS of all
peoples are inSeparably knit to-
gether in an overall pattern
which can only be attained
through the practical realization
of mans spiritual brotherhood.
These are advancing steps of
progress. The next step as re-
vealed in Christian Science, will
come when human consciousness
turns completely from its faith
in the unreal, carnal mind, the
source of sin, sickness, wars,
and death, to God, the divine
Mind, who is the source of in
finite Life, Truth, and Love. The
Bibles statement that "to be
carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life
and peace" (Rom. $50 means
exactly what it states. 1t means
that the carnal mind, being en-
tirely supposititiouS in its dream
nature, is the mind in which
there is no life, no harmony, no
peace. 1t means that the divine
Mind, God, your true Mind, is
the source of all Life, harmony,
he / t h, intelligence. Christian
Science enables you to discard
the erring carnal mind, with it's
accompanying ills and troubles,
and to put on the divine con-
Sciousness, the source of al
good, which is, itself, Life eter-
nal.
