PAUL STARK SEELEY, CS.B. Christ Jesus began his epoch-making ministry with the imperative command, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Let us note that Jesus’ statement con- cerning the presence of God and His kingdom could not have been made iif he had had no other evidence of exist- ence than that which his eyes saw and his ears heard. These senses saw an order wherein his countrymen were un- der the Roman yoke, the Pharisees were in Moses’ seat, and the human race was in subjection to sin, disease, and death. Jesus gave no weight to this order, but w:-th his thought fixed on a higher order of existence he confidently said, “Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus well knew the truth, later declered by Paul, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard . . . the things which God hath prepared.” If, then, we cannot perceive God and His kingdom with our eyes and ears, how are we to find Him and His This provision becomes evident in the proportion that Love reigns within us. Limitation denies wisdom and impugns love. Limitation is the essence of matter and evil. Evil argues limited supply, limited happiness, limited life, limited activity, limited understanding, limited capacity, limited everything. It is the firm of Evil and Company, Limited! This evil partnership has been adjudicated by Christian Science and found bankrupt. It has no assets, no place of business, no reliable business connections, and its dissolution is rapidly being accomplished. Bring Happy Atmosphere In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus counseled his followers, “Let your com- munication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay.” One meaning of the word communication is “reasoning.” The command is thus seen to mean. that our reasoning, or thinking, should be, “Yea, yea; Nay nay.” Such is the practice of Christian Science. The Christian Scientist agrees with, thinks “Yea, yea,” with the har- monious, divine order, and so affirms what is true. He denies or thinks “Nay, nay,” to the claims of evil, and so denies what is untrue. He clings to the true and harmonious conception and repu- diates the discordant misconception of existence. Christian Science treatment applies to every need. It heals sickness, does away with sin, brings clear judg- ment in business, and a happier atmos- phere in the home. Mr. and Mrs. Morton Maddox, 705 Oak street, were very pleasantly sur- prised when a group of 25 friends called to spend the evening with them on the occasion of Mr. Maddox’s birthday. —Oo— Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Morton Knode of 681 Lincoln avenue and Mrs. Bruce MacLeish of Glencoe are in Florida for a three weeks’ stay.

Nevertheless we have, and it is the most reliable sense we possess. This sense perceives the things that endure. The practice of kindness, honesty, or justice, if without selfish motive, is the activity of spirit- ual sense. So we see that every right thinking person is using spiritual sense in some measure every day. None of these God-qualities can be seen, heard, tasted, or felt with the material senses. The physical senses discern only our tem- porary material surroundings, whereas spiritual sense acquaints us with the ideas of Mind. There is within us this sense which discerns good things and clings to it, and there is nothing about the oper- ation. that is physical in any way. By this spiritual, or right mental, scerned and_} 1 sense, God, LTCC Wd. £215 aWs,.unacr it was because of what he through spiritual sense that Jesus could say without qualifification, in the face of a material world, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Explains God’s Nearness One of the happy thiglgs about Christ- ian Science is that it explains, how near God is simply by yowine th@t God is Mind, the author of* every good thought. Our bodies do no# have to move an inch. But we do have to make a* move in our thought. The move is ftom the wrong to the right point of view of existence, from the material to the spiritual basis of thougHt. One mentally emigrates from thg Land of Bad, where the giants of Poyerty, Fen Hate, and Sickness, seem o rule, to the Land of Good, where the yonly lawgiver is the all-loving and alf#wise God. A Christian Science treatment includes a#denial oeihe claims of evil and affirm- t ation of@the facts of being as known to God. lie when answered by truth be- comes’ silent, whether the lie be a slander or sickness. In Revelation John saw that the dragon, typifying all evil and sickness, was cast out, not by drugs, nor by a surgeon's knife, but “by the word of their testimony.” This is the method of Christian Science, the bearing of true testimony in thought and word, testify- ing aright of God and His man. Applies to Home Needs Christian Science is applicable to every human need. Poverty and lack may be overcome the same as sickness. When confronted with the false arguments of limitation, if we would turn our thought to the God-appointed order of existence instead of looking into the bottomless pit of error,—the unfounded beliefs of evil, —we would find that Love has already provided fully for man’s every need.

T46-1te REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING NEWS DECLARE RENT BILL DRASTIC Realty Board Hits Proposed U. S. Measure Action to oppose the bill now before Congress proposing a permanent federal commission to control residential rents in the District of Columbia was voted by the National Association of Real Estate boards at its annual meeting just closed at Dallas, Texas. The associa- tion authorized its president, Charles G. Edwards, of New York, its general counsel, General Nathan MacChesney of Chicago, and the chairman of its housing committee, Henry R. Brigham, of Boston, to appear before the proper committees of Congress to present the grounds upon which the opposition is based. The bill, introduced by Senator Ball, of Delaware, is known as Senate Bill Number 3764 and House Bill Number 11,078. Private dwellings have never been re- garded as being so impressed with the public interest as to be subject to govern- mental regulation, the association points out. The passage of a bill such as that proposed, at a time of peace, and at a time when the country as a whole is very rapidly overtaking the remaining housing shortage due to the cessation of building during the war, is a drastic departure from all American legal con- ceptions as to the rights of private property. The association believes that the pro- posed measure is uneconomic, and that as far as the city of Washington is concerned it would check the building of new housing accomodations. Investors would naturally hesitate to invest in residence property if they were to be subjected to bureaucratic regulations. The pending bill, the association points out, is exceedingly drastic in its pro- posals, and practically ‘eliminates the right of private contract in regard to the use of residential property in Washing- ton.
