Because of the remarkable adaptability of Christian Science to the most varied circumstances of life, we need no grand and inspiring opportunities to become fruitful, to afford exercise in full of the Love-Strength accompanying its Light. Having gained some of its truths, an hour cannot pass, in a practical life, in which opportunity does not occur for their direct application.

To-day as of old the cry goes up, from the length and breadth of our land, for a Moses to deliver the people from the bondage of Egypt; and again we hear from those who believe they see the way out of Egypt, the cry for Aaron the priest, or preacher. Would it not be well to analyze these thoughts, and see what motive prompts them, also to see whether they are strictly in line with Science? Several questions present themselves prominently before us at this point, viz.

The feast of the Passover was a yearly festival in commemoration of the hour when the son of man should be lifted from death unto Life. This Jewish festival was but little understood by those who so devoutly carried out the letter of the feast; since their literal apprehension of it blinded them to the true spiritual feast, that Jesus gave the apostles.

Our lesson begins with a talk on what we have accomplished through the week, the children telling of their demonstrations over claims of error; often testifying to pain disappearing in trying to realize that "God is Love" and "God's child cannot be hurt. " They also give an account of their little tickets, which they receive every Sunday, with the thought of using them for some deed of kindness, always remembering to give them away with thoughts of Love, and of the perfection of the real child of God.

Some ten years since, before Christian Science had been named as such in New York State, I was victimized by a most severe thought of chronic illness. One physician, and one only, thought it possible for me to live,—and in my "right mind.

There is no power in error to limit us in doing good; we are children of Divine Mind and reflect dominion. Mortal mind has no ability or power to give or deprive us of, Truth; if we look to Divine Principle for all, we shall be supplied with all good.

Each day, just one little seed of Truth dropped in the human mind. What a garden it would make! Since Tracts and Series are coming so plentifully to our hands, shall they not be circulated in the same generous spirit? As one goes along the street, why not carry a tract in the hand and a word of Love on the lips? and be watching to give both with a consciousness that this is Truth, come to save.

God is all in all and there can be nothing besides Him, is a statement that many cannot understand. It was so in the days of Jesus, and is so now.

Scientific thought is power in purity. The power of absolute Truth in Love and Holiness cleanseth from sin.
