In a recent lecture before the Y. M.

Above the angry roar of the breakers, if we listen for the voice of Christ, Truth, we shall hear it: "Be of good cheer. It is I; be not afraid.

In declaring God to be Principle and not person,— a non-natural being, residing somewhere in space, and from His throne above governing all things, and issuing daily and hourly to man, through the medium of material sense, His edicts of good and evil, productive alike of punishments and rewards, sorrows and joys, sin and sickness, life and death,—Christian Science declares a truth which is not only self-evident, but is corroborated and proven by the teachings of Christ and the Scriptures throughout. The belief that good and evil emanate from the same source is, like all man-made doctrines, false and misleading.

In these days, when hygiene and sanitation are among the leading topics of discussion, we hear much talk about the necessity of a pure atmosphere for physical and moral health. The supreme importance and the far-reaching influence of our mental atmosphere is a subject unfortunately receiving too scant attention.

An item of experience in the history of a little child, somewhat illustrative of the practical truth of Mrs. Eddy's teaching, came under my notice quite recently, and has so much interested me that I will try and give it in substance to our readers as she gave it to me.

The growth and progress of Christian Science has created a new want, and we have been feeling how much our little folks need a school, where the common, and the advanced branches also, of education, should be taught from the higher, healthier plane of thought attained through Christian Science.

I am learning the alphabet of Christian Science.

Listening to the remarks of one who declared that "Christian Science contradicted the moral teachings of the Bible, and opposed the teaching and work of Jesus," evoked the following query: Why this apparent difference in regard to the teachings of the Scriptures? The question, then, that concerns this article, resolved itself thus: Does Christian Science contradict, or even disturb, a moral sense of the Scriptures, by opposing an obedience to its commandments? The Bible is received in its Scriptural teachings by the Christian Scientist from a moral and spiritual standpoint only. If, then, we do not oppose the fulfilling of the moral and spiritual purposes of the Scriptures, we need not exercise any anxiety as to the ultimate of the literal or physical rendering of the same.
