Science has hns helped an is helping BO 80 many people to a better an and wiser manner of or life besides healing them of or physical ailments ailments ail all ments and keeping them well that so I much Interest has been aroused in it There Thero is no lesson moro needed to toda today today to- to da day than that of self government nt for until that Is learned ono cannot be berea rea ready as all should he be to participate in the government go of or tho people which means menus government go in obedience to dl- dl l- l vino vine law la Mrs Mis Edd Eddy brought to Christianity that which it had hitherto lacked lacked the tho Science of or Its teaching Nothing could be he added to the spirit of or the Masters Master's teaching but the he a ago o was demanding Its scientific and s systematic explanation tion Mrs Irs Edd Eddy supplied both Her book bool Science and Health with l Key e to tho the Scriptures Is the textbook of or Christian Science Mrs Eddy fearlessly fear fear- lessly insisted on healing as ns an essential essential essential essen essen- feature of Christianity but she also saw that nothing but strict adherence to the truth could qualify for tor or this dem deni- 0 ration Gl cn Him Uncle Back Perhaps the most Important thing that Christian ScIe ce docs does for tor tho real Is that It gives him hire hack back his Bible So man many people have let their Bibles go hO in exchange for the themore moro more speculative and uninspired writings writings writ writ- ings inh'S of oC would would-bo leaders of or thought The They have wandered far tar into

nowadays owalla's tho the call U of or back to the tho lan land reminding reminding remind remind- ing men of ot the essentials of existence lost sight of oC in the anxieties of ot the war or tho the rush an and speculation of ot the city so in Christian Science the cry is back to tho the Bible There Thero you wI will err errIs I find the door you jOU seek to open and here in Christian Science is tho the key to It The very first of the tenets of ot Christian Science Is As adherents of Truth we take tho the Inspired Word ord of oC tho the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life Ute Conception of oC God Christian Science explains that In Inthe Inthe inthe the life of or Jesus tho the Mind In which created cre ere created ate the Universe was become articulate articulate articulate late In human experience so that all false belief belle and materialism knowing Its hour was come literally quailed before beford It The Tho divino divine Principle which holds all alt things In Its orderly grasp was wag expressing Itself In tho the thoughts an and 1 actions of a a. man I Christian Science reveals re to us that this same samo Mind Un or Principle is 18 to today a omnipresent sent an arid and is God Goll Many people nowadays arc are using a vague hue terms such as Providence Pro fate luck destiny an and so on on to denote their sense of ot God but the these e terms have ha not been found to satisfy in times o of stress an any more than tho the go gods s o of mythology satisfied the ancients There is scriptural authority for th the seven en terms used to denote Go God In tho the Christian Science textbook Mind Spirit Soul Principle Life Lire Truth Love If It we e take talo each one o of these terms an and stu study it thoughtfully we find ourselves being lifted lined into a nearer and truer sense sensa of God Tho The effort to gain this clearer vision lookIng look look- Ing leg away the human to tho the dIvine di divine divine dI- dI vine is tho the pra prayer er of or faith in ChrIstian Christian Christian Chris ChrIs- tian Science and ansi this prayer IB Is answered an an- in tho the harmony health an and peace that it brings We e can see

explains that It Is because men believe bellevo themselves dependent de do- pendent on material ons that evil o seems Reams so 60 real to them and ami conversely con con- the proof in Christian Science that they the aro arc not dependent on materIal material material mate mate- rial conditions releases them from tho the fear of or evil and reveals true truo go self This was wag proved to be
