Putting on record insights into the practice of Christian Science.

THE PROCESS OF SALVATION

WHAT , precisely, did Paul mean when in his second letter to the church in Corinth he exclaimed, "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation"? These significant words follow a statement also of great import. Repeating a sentiment uttered prophetically by Isaiah centuries before, the apostle declared that God said, "I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee.

GOD, OUR SUFFICIENCY

NOTHING stands out more clearly in the lives of the Hebrew prophets than the fact that it was when they felt God's presence, realized God's immanence, that they were able to overcome the difficulties which presented themselves for solution. In the case of Moses this was very marked.

CLEAR-SIGHTEDNESS

MANKIND has largely believed that sight is physical, but at the same time it has also attributed a mental nature to sight.

The purpose of this pamphlet is to help annul the aggressive and misleading assertions and suggestions now being disseminated deceptively and persistently, which are intended to displace Mrs.

RESURRECTION

THE resurrection of Christ Jesus was an event of such tremendous importance that the Christian world has gone on honoring it in ever increasing measure. Men have reverenced Jesus because of it, but they have largely held it as a supernatural event and as unexplainable except as a special dispensation of ability from God to Jesus.

"THE PRESENT IMMORTALITY"

NEVER has the attention of men been drawn to the value of right thinking as it is being drawn by Christian Science to-day. And by right thinking is meant thinking from a correct spiritual basis, that is, the basis of an understanding of God and man which is absolutely true.

EASTER

ON page 180 of "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy writes, "I love the Easter service: it speaks to me of Life, and not of death.

"ALERTNESS TO DUTY"

"PRINCIPLE IS IMPERATIVE"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE teaches the absolute truth about God, divine Principle, and can therefore be depended upon. Its Discoverer and Founder, Mrs.
