SEEING is often synonymous with understanding. A common expression in everyday life is, "I see," meaning, "I understand or comprehend.

CHRIST JESUS had unquestioning confidence in God's power and its availability to meet every human need, to heal and loose mankind from bondage of every nature. He understood the allness, the ever-presence, of infinite divine Love.

OFTEN in our experience difficult decisions have to be made in charting our next moves. A wrong decision, sometimes even a minor one, may seriously affect the harmony and happiness of our lives.

IN Isaiah ( 42:8 ) we read, "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. " This positive declaration, as explained by Christian Science, emphasizes not only the absolute supremacy of God, good, but also the spiritual fact that all that is truly good and perfect exists within His glorious omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, untouched by evil, deterioration, and dissolution.

CHRIST JESUS gave as one of the two great commandments ( Mark 12:31 ), "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," but he did not stop at words. He healed the sick, regenerated the sinner, raised the dead, and sent his disciples out to do the healing works of Christ, Truth.

ONE of the many reasons for which the Christian Scientist has a deep and continuing sense of gratitude is this: his religion demonstrates that neither disease nor sin originates in what is called matter or physical structure. Contrariwise, divine Science proves beyond question in this age, as Christ Jesus proved centuries ago, that all baneful and restrictive bodily conditions are fundamentally mental and not material.

THE answer to the question ( Ps. 8:4 ), "What is man, that thou art mindful of him?" is found throughout the Scriptures.

A HUMAN organization called a church represents the states and stages of thought of the members. As each student of Christian Science raises his concept of Church and corrects his own thinking through spiritual enlightenment, he himself will experience improved conditions, and his branch church will grow and prosper.

THERE is a way of life in which good prevails over evil, health over sickness, and joy over sorrow. Each individual who seeks this good way finds it when he learns to understand God, to be obedient to His will, and to trust in His good plan for everyone.

THE question that presents itself to everyone one who has a goal to attain is, "What do I need to do in order to succeed?" Experience has proved that success in any direction includes, to a considerable degree, the ability to establish compatible relationships with others. But true compatible relationships do not include any element of human domination or the forcing of human will upon another.
