Let us first of all look into the meaning of these two words, "Chrisâ€" tian" and Science." The words "Chrisâ€" tian" and "Christianity" stand for the religion founded in the first century, A.D. Christian Science is based on the inspired Word of the Bible, Qnd stands squarely on the pure teaching and the allâ€"satisfying, redemptive, healing works of Christ Jesus, the Wayâ€"shower. oc The word| "science" is defined, in part, by Webster as: "knowledge or facts. _Profound, comprehensive knowledge made available in work, life or the search for truth." 0 Christian Science is, therefore, the demonstrable knowledge of God, diâ€" vine Truth, brought to bear on the human problem of poverty, sin, sickâ€" mess; and discord of every name and nature. o . R Livatmaibirs In her work "Retrospection and: Introspection" (p. 25), Mrs. Eddy tells us that she named this Science "Christian" "because it is compasâ€" sionate, helpful, and spiritual." Chrisâ€" tian Science is born of God, divine Love. It.is, therefore, His revelation, divinely endowed with authority to reveal the true nature of God and spiritual man in His likeness, and with power to waken mankind out of its dream of sickness and. sin, fear and sorrow; and through this spiritâ€" ual awakening bring about release and redemption from all that is conâ€" trary to God‘s will.

For some years before nublishing this immortal work Mrs. Eddy proved the truth of its teachings by healing all kinds of sickness by spiritual means. . 22L ENCTITS: Mrs. Eddy then entered upon a Iifo' of almost unparalled spiritual and human activity, until, in the year 1910, she passed on in her ninetieth year. It is not too much to say that every waking hour of these Tortyâ€"five: years was snent in highest. humblest service to God and humanity.

Prayer The Christian Science text book opens _ with» seventeen wonderful pages in the first chapter, entitled "Prayer." Within these pages, every unbiased reader finds much to ponâ€" der, much to rejoice in, much to learn, and much that may cause him to revise his old concept of prayer. . Jacob‘s Ladder Prayor might be likened to Jacob‘s ladder, of which we read in Genesis that it was "set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold© the angels of God ascending and descending on it." Note that this ladder was set up on earth, which indicates that God, good. is not remote but everâ€"present, and that heaven is not a distant place to be reached after death, but a diâ€" vine state of consciousness which is, in everâ€"increasing measure, attainâ€" able here and now. And what are the "angels" ascending and descending this ladder of thought? Angels are not faney. winged figures. On page 581 of the Christian Science textbook we find this simple and appealing definition of angels: "God‘s thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect;â€" the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality." â€" 0_ Sof\nu see that every true. spiritâ€" ual thought and desire entertained by vou is vour link with God, everâ€"presâ€" nt divine Mind eMoite e e ronding thought is the ripening deâ€" | sire to understand and obey God‘s| will rejoicingly, knowing it to bestow only holiness, health, and perfect purity.
