She was becoming adjuste to the facts af Spirit. No other con- clusion could be reached than that her former inharmonious material, sense of things had been a mistaken one, and she set about correcting her thinking in every particular. Through reason and revelation, Mrs Eddy had arrived at the con- clusion that divine Mind is the one omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Gui: that divine Mind's infinite ideas, perfect, eternal, spiritual, and mental (like their creator) constitute the one and only creation, the spiritual uni. vr-rse. including spiritual man. Divine Mind Available to All Even the litt'e children may un- stand in some degree and use this truth that God is the only real Mind. A little eight-year-old Christian Sci- entist had an examination in arith- metie which lasted for one period of each of two days. Talking to her mother about it later, she said, "The first day the problems looked so hard when teacher put them on the board that I thought I eouldn't do them. But I tried and tried, and finally I thought of something. I said to myself, 'Well, this is fine, trying to solve problems without God.' And then I thought.< 'God is Mind, and He Rives me intel-l ligence to do what I have to do,' andl I solved every problem, mother, anal tent-her gave me one. hundred. The; next day, I had finished all the prob-' lems and then I thought, ' I just wish' God would tell me whether these‘ problems are right.' Something led me to look over the seventh, and l; Thursday, Aug. 28, 1930 I; kiriiiad 4t "ia'H, The same fact of being which en- abled this little girl to solve her problems in arithmetic is available to at of us. This truth that God is the only Mind, is intimate enough to en- ter into our smallest personal prob- lems and big enough to solve the clashing questions of the nations. Can one amrd to be apathetic to this great revelation that Christian Sei- ence has brought to human conscious- ness. namely, that God is divine Mind, the one and only Mind, and therefore of necessity his Mind? For the Mind which is God-- the only Mind-is all that exists by way of mind; it consti- tutes all there is in reality to your in- tellittenee and to mine. Evil or Mortal Mind In human experience, we are com- pelled to take cognizance of another suecuslled mind, a limited, evil, human mind. Mrs. Eddy arrived " the con- elution that the human so-called mind with all its beliefs in mnteriality-. ease and pleasure in matter, chance and change, sorrow and suffering, dis. ease and death-- is not really mind at all, hut only a false, deceived, and de. wiving sense cf mind.

This in Christian Science shows that the inc-culled human mind is not an in- etrumentality which records and be- lieves in what it sees, hears, smells. tastes, and feels, as in commonly and ignorantly thought. The revenue of this statement is found to be more exact. that ia, that the human. mortal mind Bees, hears, amellu. tastes. and feels that only which it believes.
