We reach the m of Christianity through dem tion of the divine nature." Let me repeat the last sentence, for it hJ a vital point in expressing the art of Delayed demomtration]s may be caused by trying to solve human problems . through an intellectual ption of demonstration, which mn includes . spiritual thinking and living.

He must understand both the Science and art of Christian Science; that is, he must acquire a spiritual understanding of the Sciâ€" Instantes of the healing and t deeming power of Spirit abound the Bible, but the ones just cited nt: sufficient to illustrate the vital trui I desire to impress upon you; nm- ly, that it is possible for an individâ€" ual possessed of spiritual underâ€" standing to triumph over all mortal discord, including death; that such triumph over all mortal discord, cluding death; that such triumph may occur at any time or place under any and all conditions. Of y Paul writes, "Now is the day of salâ€" vation." ‘This method of sol human problems is not new. It is as ancient as the "Ancient of days," and was available to mortals Ityr% before the advent of Christ Jesus. It has well been said that Christianity, although established by Jesus, is true because Jesus taught it, but rather that he taught it because ‘;t I want to call your special attenâ€" tion to the reason given by Paul for Enochs translation, "For before t translation he had his tm that he pleased God." It is ed that Enoch was three hundred and sixtyâ€"five years old at the time of translation; so the belief of old age did not interfere with his demonâ€" stration. ; L e fra A most helpful, encouraging, and portentous event is the demonstraâ€" tion of Enoch in overcoming death. The tomplete story of cause and efâ€" fect is graphically set forth in Heâ€" brews (11.5): "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this tufimgny, that he pleased God." Please note that this translation was the rewai of faith. This word "faith," in its highest signification, is in Hebrews (11.1): "Faith is the subâ€" stance of things hoped for, the eviâ€" dence of things not seen," and is eveh more graphically set forth) in the Twentieth Century New Testaâ€" ment as follows: "Faith is the alization of things hoped for â€" the proof of things not seen." R Through spiritual understanding of the truth underlying the declaraâ€" tion that "one with God is a majorâ€" ity," individuals have been enabled to solve problems which, to the senses, seem unsolved. The Bible contains many such instances: the Shunammite woman, when death seemed to claim her child, with subâ€" lime faith turned to the man of God for help, and was enabled, with spirâ€" itually inspired calmness, to answer Gehazi, servant ‘of the prophet, "It is well with the child." This state of receptivity, together with the spiritâ€" mal confidence of the prophet, reâ€" sulted in the restoration of the child. . When one looks out over world conditions as they exist today, obviâ€" ously individual delinquencies, many times multiplied, are primarily the cause of presentâ€"day troubles,. In speakng of the everâ€"increasing mass of legislative enactments designed to establish normal ‘harmonious relaâ€" tions, and their failure to accomâ€" plish the desired result, someone has said: "Wa have tried many kinds of rules without success,. Suppose we try the Golden Rule." Again, when someone was asked the question, "Do you think that Christianity has proved a faflure ?" the answer came, "No one knows; it has never been tried." | But, thank God, with the discovery of Christian Science it is being, and has been tried for over half a century with results which prove that it has reinstated primitive Christianity, with its healing and reâ€" generating works. deemed nations are redeemed. It is evident that when individuals refuse to quarrel there can be no national When it is realized that world salâ€" wation waits upon individual salvaâ€" tion the importance of the Christian Sceence teaching is recognized. A slow way,â€"some may say,â€"and this 4s relatively so; yet when one conâ€" siders it is the only way, it gives one: a feeling of gratitude that even this seemingly slow‘ way has been discovered and given to the world by Christian Science. â€" Hon. William E. Brown, C.8.B., Lectures Here on Christian Science PAGE (Continued from page 9) MAN [ The questions which have arisen in the human mind concerning man â€"â€"as to who he is, what he is, whente his |origin, whence his destination, and why he exists, have puzzled the most profound thinkers of the ages. It remained for Mary Baker ddy to give the worldâ€"satisfying answ ots to all queries of this nature. As a basic statement, Christian Scienge ~declares that man made in the ithâ€" age ‘and likeness of God is spiritu Al, not ~material; Aindividual, but np personal. The analysis of the woyd: "person" as applied to human be 6 is illuminating and helpful. t word comes originally from the La: “persona,” mmin‘ "a muk," ‘“ is defined thus: "A ‘person‘ is one who impersonates a character." The word "mask" exactly conveys the, point I desire to make clear to you. Mortal ‘personal!:? is the mask hidâ€" ing the true i ividuality of man. Soon after I perceived this intere;:- ing fact, I had occasion to observe a group of people assembled tro:t various walks of life. ‘The thought of masks recured to me, and I realâ€" ized that the various phases of mor» tality presented were but masks.| for ‘ help, immediately freed: hi from his obsession by giving hin}y scientific understanding of the Serip tures as follows. Said the pu tioner: "You are familiar with th saying of the Master as to ete ‘F life, ‘And! this is life eternal, th they might know thee? |From th it is clear that eterfial life is eim bodied in asknowledge of God. Thete fore the allâ€"important question is Who is to know God? The ans 1 is to be found in Jeremiah 31:8§4 ‘For they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greate : So this disposes of your en trouble. Here is the deéfinite pron ise that all are to know God, and sincé such knowledge means etert life, then all are finally to express this life." ul [ These illustrations serve to show the importance of understanding the Beriptures in their. spiritual and this understanding is.one of the great blessings which Christian Sgiâ€" ence bestows upon a race in bondage to false theology. | ‘ in some way he had neglected opportunity arnd therefore had 1 salvation. ‘The Christian Scie rbetitionsr, "Io whoth ht appen In this connection, I recall the éxâ€" perience of a patient who had tu .: d to Christian Science for help.

Through f‘ misconception of the verse j is quoted in regard to "few there | . who find. the way of life, he Had become obsessed with the idea that God. saw every thing tlil'tryhc c made, and, behold, it was : However, through an illumination, of the spiritual facts reyvealed in the Bible, â€" which Christian Sciefice brings, it is recognized that the man was not born blind in order that the works of God should be manifest in him, but that Jesus was ubontto _heal him, and in this healing wol 1d be ‘manifested the works of God. Again, take the familiar Scrip ural declaration given in Matthew 7:15: "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, ind few there be that find it." Frgm this reading it might be inferted that all were not to find the way of life; but the Rotherham translaâ€" tion puts an entirely different ¢ } struction on this verse, | where "he says, "And few there be who | gre finding it.‘ In other words, mortals were finding the "strait gate" slgwâ€" ly.: t i# GREENSLADE Electrical Contractor Electric Shop ous writers began to punctuate ":““ formulate verses, incorrect l‘ these frequently obscured the sp t ual meanings.
