In the light of the fruits of Chris-

fullflllment in our human experience?

Even more strange. is it not. that

minded woman did appear and began

er. "Among the manifold soft chimes

God.

Christian Science has revealed the
correct concept of God. It has cours-
geously and reverently asked the ques-
tion. ”What is God?" and has given
the answer that is mtisfying to think-
ing men and thinking women: God is
Love. Life. Truth. Soul. Hind. Spirit.
Principle. Perhaps the term Principle
as used for God has more than any
other aroused the opposition of the
critics of Chrlmlan Science. They
contend that to speak of God as Prin-
ciple takes away His personality. robe
Rim of His mtherhood. tenderness.
and other so-called human attributes.
Christian Scientists believe that it is
time for the world to get away from
the idea of an anthropomorphic or
man made God. a sort of superman.
Thetest-book says. “Human philoso~
phy has made God manlike. Christian
Science makes man Godlike." (Science
and Health. p. 269.)

As a practical illustration. let us
suppose a man to be sick. and that he
desires the help of God. and turns to
Christian Science to he made well.
Since God's work is already done,
there is no specific or individual ac.-
tion require-dot God that this man's
condition should be made right. The

denying their reality. “nit them into

thus are implanted seed-fist produce

A notable instance of suxerlng and
destruction resulting from this men-
tal attitude is witnessed in the liv.
of children. There is common belief
entertained by a majority of doctors
and laymen that all children must be
the victims of certain so-calied child-
ren's contagious diseases. Ilany d»
cellent mothers in most-respects. are
never happy and sausned with their
children until each child has experi-
encer every one of theie children's
diseases. lest forsooth the child might
contract the disease in adult years
with more mm effects. -

What a cruel and unnatural belief
that our God who is love would make
a specialty of afflicting and destroying
helpless and innocent children. How
much more natural and helpful is it
to know and understand that God who
is the author of good is never the au-
thor of evil.

Thus we need to bar the door of
our consciousne- against the admin.
slon of all such harmful thoughts of
disease and evil. Likewise we need to
know when the human consciousne-
becomes spiritualized through. right
thinking and knowing and man is re-
vealed to be ’the manifestation of
Spirit not matter. the divine Mind is
reflected. and man is governed by
God. Mrs Eddy says. “God will heal
the sick through man. whenever man
is governed by God." (Science and
Health. p. 495.) As the light of this
hl-ullng truth is carried into that con~
sciousness darkened by fear and ig-
norance. it banishes all sense of error.
even sickness. as well as sin. and il-
luminu that consciousness with light
and lovc. In speaking of Jesus'
treatment of the sick during his early
ministry. the Christhn science text
book sus. “Jesus beheld in Science
the perfect man. who appeared to him
whore sinnlng mortal man appeared to
mortals In this perfect mun the Sn-
vior saw God's own likenem. and this
correct \u-w of man healed the sick."
(Science and Health. ppJ‘r’G and ‘77.)

God. an infinite. enternal power. is
always pvt-sent in the world to heal
the world of all its sickness and to
solve all its problems. He comes not
to Christian Scientists alone. but to all
who aprmioh Him through a spiritual
undcrstandtpg of His Infinite power.
if is the Mn of Christian Science
to help men and women to come into
the relation or understanding in which
they may recognise. to use a scientific

 

. mt?" 1
Now let us consider ‘the other ac-
count of the creation. In the second
empeer of Omens. the record runs.
"And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground. and breathed
intents aomeilsths breath of .life;.
and man became a living soul." ‘And

iman and from his side. He took a rib
"Id 0! the rib. woman was made.
Ever since that concept of man creat-
ed from the dust. he has been the
.vlctim of sin. sicknem. sorrow. and
death. The historical. part of the Old
Went is filled with an account of
do. failures, destruction of this
man of the dust. Earth‘s secular his.
tory today and for generations has
been largely an acount of the dimp-
polntments and disasters or this man
of the dust. Has not the world been
recently convulsed with its‘ grea‘ test
.trugedy all because of the false aims.
hopes and ambitions of this man of
the dun?
Woman through the centuries has
been regarded as an inferior creature.
often a slave. all because of this hlse
theory. that man is of the dust. and
woman of his rib. It is only go
Truth enlightening the world that w -
man is achieving her rightful place as
man's coequal; and it wlu only be as
the truth covers the earth. even as the
waters cover the see. that the world
will com to know and understand
the “male and female" of God's crea-
tion as revealed in the first chapter of
Genesis.
With these two pictures before us.
man of the earth. earthly. bowed be-
neath the weight of human misery
and woe. and man in God's image and
likenem. reflecting the Godlike. the
spiritual. the perfect. why do we hesi-
tate to procmu-n ourselves and our
race of the true type with God given
power and dominion over every living
thing; for God has ordained this
power and domiw in the first chap-
ter of Genesis. the 28th verse. Is it
not too in harmony with the promise
of Jesm quoted in the beginning of
this lecture, “Behold I give unto you
power over all the power of the ene-
my"? Does it not our" to you that
when Jesus came to his earthly min-
istry and found man sick. sinning. sor-
rowing and dying. he remembered this
early ordinance of God and re-enacted
it in those stirring words. calling the
world to action on a new basis of
spiritual power with a new promise:
and then proceeded to demonstrate by
so-called miracles ability to overcome
all the power of the enemy?

Mortal Mint“
What is the enemy over which Je-
sus says we have power? Paul mys:
“To be csrnally minded is death. but
to be spiritually minded is life. and
peace. because the carnal mind is (a-
mity against God." The enemy is.
therefore. the carnal or fleshly mind.
or as Mrs. Eddy calls it in Science
and Health. the "mortal mind." as 0p-
posed to the divine Mind.
Mortal mind. as it is understood and
used in Christian Science. is not an
entity. but is rather the absence of
the reflection of the divineJilnd. It
