THERE are times in human experience when one's motives are misunderstood, one's actions misjudged, or perhaps right efforts misrepresented. It is at such times that men turn to God in prayer and find succor.

"BLESSED are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. " These words spoken by the master Christian, Jesus of Nazareth, ringing through the centuries, are today assuring a fear-ridden world that it is possible to wake from the dream of materiality with its distress and strife to the happiness which is inseparable from spiritual-mindedness.

IN a world oppressed with want, sickness, strife, and discord, it is wise to ask ourselves what we are individually expecting from life, from our business, our social contacts, and our relations with our fellow men. Are we expecting good or evil? If we were to judge from the evidence of the material senses, we might be tempted to believe that evil, in the form of disease, lack, inharmony being the common lot of men, is, therefore, inevitable.

THE indisputable fact that Christian Science heals all manner of evil and disease is being acknowledged by an ever-increasing multitude of people. It is equally true that this Science is efficacious in protecting its adherents from danger, discord, fear, sorrow, and kindred phases of inharmony, and in preventing the experience of sickness.

WE are told that Moses, when he kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, during a time of testing and preparation, "led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God.

As he gets clearer views of what God —the source of all creation—is, his understanding of God's manifestation or creation unfolds naturally.

A STUDY of the glorious opening chapter of the Christian Science textbook brings the realization that our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, indeed helps every earnest and sincere student to pray the prayer that is heard and answered— the prayer that heals. Out of a heart full of love for God and man, she points the way to the attainment of that which will bring the solution of all the problems confronting humanity today, of that which will liberate mankind from all their limitations, satisfy all human cravings and longings, and usher in the wondrous fact that God is good and all-powerful now, and eternally sees "every thing that he had made," beholding it as "very good.

"NOW are we the sons of God. " Profound statement! Spiritual man, and there is no other, is the son, the idea or expression, of God, divine Mind.

THERE lies an island, stern, barren, and rocky in the Aegean Sea, a forlorn and lonely environment, indeed, one where there would seem little to live for. For one deprived of home, friends, comforts— the things tending to make human life interesting and pleasant—all human hope of happiness or opportunity for achievement apparently would be cut off, were he banished to such a place.
