WHEREVER we may humanly seem to be, the scientific truth is that man is in full possession of his real home at this very moment. This positive statement may appear contradictory to the evidence before the material senses.

HOW could God let go of His own idea? And that is what the only true selfhood of man is—divine Mind's idea. A young mother was discussing with the writer her little son's first days at school.

IN the long annals of the world's history the battle of Britain stands as a wonderful example of endurance and fortitude. The Royal Air Force, vastly outnumbered by the enemy, defended the island bastion with such incredible skill and bravery that possibly civilization itself was saved from being set back or even temporarily blotted out.

IN Christian Science, ideas are understood to originate in the divine Mind, Spirit, the only cause or Principle of existence. Consequently they are spiritual, substantial, immutable, eternal, harmonious, indestructible, and ever available.

OUR beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has made it clear that living in obedience to divine Principle is Christian Science practice. On page 12 of "Miscellaneous Writings" she says: "We should measure our love for God by our love for man; and our sense of Science will be measured by our obedience to God,—fulfilling the law of Love, doing good to all; imparting, so far as we reflect them, Truth, Life, and Love to all within the radius of our atmosphere of thought.

SPIRITUAL understanding is all-important to the demonstration of Christian Science. But evil sometimes suggests to the student of Christian Science that he has not sufficient understanding to apply his religion effectively to his human affairs.

IT is only by looking heavenward that mutual friendships such as ours can begin and never end" ( The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 204 ).

THE perfect, immutable children of God coexist with infinite Mind, where only good exists, and where all the beliefs of error are forever unknown. As faithful witnesses and expressions of an infinite God, they possess all the qualities of Love as its reflection, and need not strive to obtain good, for God gives impartially to all of His ideas.

IN the illustrated poem "Christ and Christmas" by Mary Baker Eddy is a picture entitled "Christian Science Healing" that portrays the spiritual illumination and power with which Christian Science heals the sick. The central figure in the picture is that of a woman standing by the bedside of a sick man.
