Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

THE CHRIST IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

EVERY true Christian has an international outlook by reason of the international nature of Christianity. He is increasingly aware that good is universal, infinite, confined to no country or race; and this good he understands to be God, the one Mind or intelligence, the only Father and Mother, who has impartially endowed all His children with the inalienable rights of freedom and equality.

"THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL BE REVEALED"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE opens the door to the spiritual understanding of man's unity with God, whereby he learns that the kingdom of heaven is present here. He who stays mentally on spiritual heights of Love can never be touched by evil.

"THE OFFICE OF CHRIST, TRUTH"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE has reinstated the true meaning of the Christ-idea, which had been obscured by false theology, and explains and proves by demonstration the office of Christ and its relation to humanity. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, defines Christ in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," in these words ( p.

GATHERING UP THE FRAGMENTS

WHEN Jesus fed the multitudes with five loaves and two fishes, he charged his disciples to "gather up the fragments .

THE CONTINUITY OF LIFE

THROUGHOUT the ages millions of thinking men and women have been denied a logical answer to the question once propounded by Job, "If a man die, shall he live again?" The reason they have been so denied is that the premises upon which they have sought a conclusion have been based upon the conventional, though erroneous, belief that the physical body is an embodiment of life and exists, together with the universe, in a realm distinct from the realm of Mind. Mankind generally, because of this failure to find a satisfactory answer to Job's question, has come to regard the sequel to human living with aversion and fear, and the thought of finality in death, which the material sense testimony would appear to support, has been so abhorrent to the individual that he has beclouded the whole question with mysticism or tried to put it out of his thought.

SHUTTING OUT THE TUMULT OF THE CROWD

THERE must have been many times in the life of Jesus when he found it necessary to shut out the tumult of the crowd in order to listen to the divine revelations of Truth. There were occasions when the crowd milled about him, pressing him on all sides.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST

THE great preacher, John the Baptist, knowing that the people were wondering whether or not he were the expected Messiah, declared, "I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. " The life of Christ Jesus, including his many demonstrations of healing, shows clearly that the Holy Ghost—which in the fourteenth chapter of John is termed "the Spirit of truth"—was ever with him.

"BEAUTY FOR ASHES"

THE clear promise of the Bible is that, regardless of every appearance of deprivation, misery, and despair, an understanding of God and of man as His reflection will replace the sorrow, ruin, and ashes of the mortal dream with the beauty and amplitude of the Life which is good. Perhaps the most vivid illustration of this grand fact is found in the story of Job.

The Golden Rule has always paid dividends.

THE MIND OF CHRIST

" AS many as are led by the Spirit of God, A they are the sons of God," writes Paul in his letter to the Romans. That consciousness of being which knows its completeness in the Father, recognizing itself as the image and likeness of God, is the Christ-consciousness, or son of God.
