Show nj CHRI8TIAN SCIENCE ON WAR. (Christian Science Monitor) "It is always a Joy to the Christian Scientist to know that no matter what beenis to be happening there is a refuge In 'the secret place of the Most High' wherein he can ever rest and be at peace For in Qod's kingdom king-dom all that makes for discord and dismay is unknown and strife between nations is as abnormal and unnatural as strife between individuals. Both, In fact, when analyzed, come from the same cause, namely, a belief in a mind apart from God. "This mind, which Paul termed 'the carnal mind' and which Christian Bel- ailaM BDCe designates as 'mortal mind,' has i ever sought from the heglnnlng ot human history to have its own waj rather than to see and acknowledge I the Father's way It Reeks to rule. I govern, control; it reaches out for self-aggrandizement and self expioita-: expioita-: lion nnd in Us mad ambition for place j nnd power it attempts to trample under un-der fool nil that appears to bo in its way The Christian Scientist, how-I how-I ever, is not disturbed when he sees i his erring mind lash and fret itseii into a fury, for he knows that its time is short; iu fact, its time is only the amount of time it takes for me worm to wake up and realize the utter Impotence and unreality or that which is not the expression ot real mind at all. but only a false claim or belief of life and conscious-nesfl conscious-nesfl In matter. For God is mind, ami that mind, reflected through man, is the only mind which truly acts or thinks. "In this divine mind there is no censciousnesb of evil, it knows not hate, revenge nor murder Hence the ideal or real man, mind's perfect and complete expression, knows not hate, revenge nor murder This man can know only that which mind knows. Sinee this man, Gods reflection, is the only man which Christian Science recognizes as real. It follows that a mind which Bays 'I hatp I would have revenge. I would Slav my brother.' is not a mind at all. but only a false sense of mind, without any creator, cause, principle, truth or substance." |
