Job discerned this incorporeal and on- limited sense of God and spoke of God as being in one Mind. Christ Jesus spoke of this parent intelli- gence as Father and Spirit. John regarding the kindness, mercy, and protection of the Father Mind spoke of Him as Love. “God in Love; and he that dwellth in (thinks in ideas of) love dwelleth in God, and God in__him" (I Jphn 4:16). unity, their oneness of being. and they are finding it in the one common universal sense of life and law which knows no geograrhical barriers, no racial nor nationa distinctions in its fingl development.

First of all he begins men- tally to resist evil. He follows the Scriptural advice to resist the devil, which his‘study of Christian Science has taught him is but the counterfeit evil mind which tries to opemte thru evil thoughts projected into his con‘ reiousness, or through the physical senses. lie learns to become a son‘- try at the door of thought and to ,reject every thought or suggestion ‘wnich is not good. is not an expats- ‘sion of God. the one real Lite, for he has taken his mental stand {or what (iod has made him to be and he is detonnmed to assert and prove his mental and living unity with the Mind and Life which is God, knowing that‘ it is natural and right for him to do so and that (lod has endowed him with the ability to do it Christian Science not only presents the true concept of man but shows that it is attainable in some consid~ arable measure right here and right now. It show: that. in each and every one of us, and there is no exee tion, no, not one. there is a natural a ility and competency to mentally work our way out of the wilderness of material beliefs. out of the net of material selfhood into our natural unity and agreement with ever present gbod. ‘Mind. the consciousness which is God, our real life and being. This procese is wholly mental, as Paul indicated when he said. “Be ye transformed by: clziezlfnewing of your mind" (Romans; 1 : . | during man, God's man, is as stated in the first chapter of Genesis made in the likeness of God, that is he has the character and nature of God. and why should this not be so? Does not a cause produce an effect like itself? Jesus made it plain that this is the fact when he said. "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30), one, that is, in quality and nature. Often he refer- red to the Father which dwelt in him, in other words the Mind of good or God which was his consciousness.‘ and to Phillifi he said, "I am in the iFathcr and t e Father in me" (John 14:10).

There is not much question a- bout that having been cast on the mental scrap heap, at least so tar as its a ressive political phases are ‘conccrne . So sure are you and I ’that it is not a true or legitimate concept of law or right. in other words, that it does not belong to the 'right and true order of things,â€"â€"â€"is not of God,â€"~that we have complete- lly repudiated it mentally. We would }not fight for it, vote for it, nor think gin favor of it as a thing real or lo- 'gitlmnte. We have awakened to its ;unreality.

I'have any recognition or place when r the truth is realized. Jesus made i this plain when he spoke of evil as a l liar in which there is no truth and .{ ointed the way to man’s liberation from it in the well-known statement. “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." This brief statement summarizes the whole pr0< Icess of Christian Science practice and ‘is the law that defines the line of march for all human progress. False Concepts Abandoned If you will take a mental birdscye view of the world for the past cen- tury you will see that many false beliefs have been abandoned, beliefs which at one time were generally ac~ cepted as unchangeable facts. Such for instance was the system of human slavery, the liquor traffic, the opium [trade in China, the “divine" right of kings. These have been recognized as negative states of thought or false beliefs. It was but a few years ago vthat the liquor traffic was thought of by many as a necessary evil. But thought has changed. People have come to see, most of them, in our .great country at least, that it isn't ‘neccssary. Let me say here that there are no necessary evils. I wish sou might all remember that. When man sees what real Life is he sees that evil is not only not necessary but is impossible. Where is the lit" quor tramc now? When it was re- cognizcd for what it was it was men~ tally repudiated and is now disap- pearing _into oblivion. you and on me and on defenselem children inoculations with the poison pus from diseased animals and sickly men. is this not indeed a mockery on what state medicine would bring into civil life. Why should a system which has its root in the pagan worship of Apollo. later changing to the worship of in- animate herbs, a system which has not one jot of Biblical or Christian authority for its teachings. a sys- tem which during four thousand years has failed to reduce the number of diseases among men, whose theories have shifted from one generation to another as the sands of the sea shift with every storm, which relies on poisonous drugs and narcotics to do the work that Christ Jesus did and taught his followers to do, have any night to impose on us its tyrannical fdecrces? This is the system that. in the ords of a noted English physi- cian. as "been vivisectinz animals now for upwards of 2,030 years without the slightest benefit to the human race."

He should know that the evil voice talking on the inside is no more a part of his real being than the mat- ter voice on the phonograph outside. They are made of the self-same stufi'. the stuff that dreams are made of. When such arguments suggest themâ€" selves he mentally asserts the affirm-j ativc facts of spiritual manhood in; some such way as this. “I repudiate‘ and deny these lying suggestions of evil. for man is not susceptible to dis- cord or disease. God the infinite igood, Mind. is the source and foun- ‘tain of my life. I do not live in or by material sense or material' law, for my true being is spirittial. In God's creation good is supreme and the attempts of evil to operate thru theixe arguments of false material selfhood, contagion, and infection can- not thwart or change the supremacy of the law and the life that IS God, expressed by man.

The only power that does that is God. Iither Jesus knew what he “as talking about when he attribut- cd disease to a mental cause and healed it on that basis or he did not. Either the New Testament presents the true way to heal disease or it does not. Christian Science is prov- ing to all who have eyes to see that the MM same law which raised Laâ€" zarus, healed the lepe rs. opened the eyes of the blind. is still operative and that it is wholly above and apart from medical diagnosis, narcotics. vaccines, and the butchery of the lower creatures. The Brotherhood of Man Serums and vaccines come from' ‘sick animals and men, and afe in- ‘jected into healthy persons on the theory that.the one so inoculated is given a mild form of the disease and so prevented from having a worse form later on. In other words the vaccination of a man means just this, “Inject him with a little devil before a big devil gets him." Observe, please, that it is all in the devil fam- ily.
