léth md 5 go n u, get iible tall life She in one in we ’II * His ith the of In order that sin may be committed there must be temptation and in order that there may be temptation there must be sin and they must both come from the same source. Is that source God or mankind? If it be God we are lost, but if it is mankind we may be saved. Hear what James has to thy on this ' "subject. “Let no man say when he is tempted, 11m tempted of God; For God nnot be tempted with evil, neither .mpteth He any man; But every man .Iltempted when he is drawn away of his own lust. and enticed. Then when iugj hes conceived. it brin h forth sin, and sin, when it is finis ed. hringeth Some good Bible student will’ say at this point, if what you say is true, what are you going to do with the Scriptural promise “Whom the Lord loveth He chastencth.” I am going to accept this passage exactly as it reads, but this passage does not mean that we are to anticipate perpetual discord in order that this promise may be fulfilled. The word “chasten” comes from the Greek root “Paiduein.” which means to in- struct 'or direct, and when you read the passage as it should be reudered, "Whom the Lord loveth He instructeth.” it real- ly becomes. another proof of the Chrisâ€" ti‘an Sciencer'teiziéhinéiagl to the abnor- mal nature of sin, which Christ de- strqyed' in conformity. 'with the Law which Gpd revealed in Him. Is it possible for people to be both good and bad at the same time? Would it be possible for God to be so? What right have we to call anything that God createe, had. when the Scriptures tell us that everything He made is Good? If we accept the theory that God creates or permits evil. how shall we know whether that which the world all: good is bad or whether that which it calls had is good?

The carnal mind always ma ‘ ests sin and its wages, death; and o the Mind which is God brings to man a sense of health, or dominion and happinessâ€"~the fruition and completeness of Divine Love. In turning to God, man finds a satisfied consciousness that God has al~ ready done everything for him, and that the evil things that seem‘so real are only caused by his having yielded to a wrong‘belief about life. ' The truth is, that because it believes that God is the author of sickness, the whole world is held in the bondage of an awful,'unjustifiable fear and terror of Him, a fear of disease and death. intensified and ever growin in detail as v'ie‘grOw older, and whic has been fostered from the foundations of our theoretical learning.

He is no longer “the unknown God whom" we “ignorantly worship,” but is declared unto us to be Love. Let us fight evil, be it sin or sickness, to its destruction. God, Love: is “our shield and buckler” and we cannot fail for :whos‘e God is so great a God as our We read in the Bible of two minds, the Spiritual and the carnal, and it is the carnal mind which is referred to by Christian Scientists as mortal mind. :The carnal mind is__eqmit_y ‘aggingt and death; for as in the realm of God all is infinite Mind and its infinite re- flection or idea, so in the suppositional realm bf evil we find it counterfeiting the real and calling itself mind, claim- ing__to have reflection or idea.
