THE questions ever recurring to human consciousness, What is God? What is man? What is man's destiny? indicate that men vaguely perceive true individuality to be something other than that which is expressed through the physical senses. Down through the ages this has occasioned, in individual instances, a sincere and earnest quest for a satisfying answer to these fundamental questions, an answer that could be substantiated through proof.

A WORLD crying out for happiness! So universal is the desire for happiness that, look where we may, everyone seems to be pursuing it. Recognizing the inalienable right of every individual to seek and obtain happiness, and seeing the grief, deprivation, and misery so often apparent in the world, one must conclude that many do not know what real happiness is, and therefore do not look for it in the right direction.

THERE is much talk about the need of physical exercise, in order to keep fit, or to improve one's health, or to increase one's strength. Athletics form an important part of the curriculum of schools and colleges these days, and wholesome exercise is natural and desirable.

MARY BAKER EDDY , the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, makes the unqualified statement ( Science and Health, p. 283 ) that "Mind is the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check its perpetual and harmonious action.

" GLORY to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. " This song, which the angels sang many centuries ago to the shepherds, is echoing in the hearts of all sincere Christian Scientists.

IT must be abundantly clear to any sincere student of Mrs. Eddy's writings that the changes which constantly occur in human life and in the material universe take place only in the orbit of erroneous belief, and not within the realm of reality, in the kingdom of God.

THE Judaic religion consisted, in large measure, of rites and dogma, material offerings and sacrifices. Through the acceptance of material sense evidence as real and the confusion resulting therefrom, the Hebrews accepted some false concepts of God which deprived them of the fruits of true religion.

WHEN God revealed Himself to Moses as "I AM THAT I AM," there was established the fact of His omnipotence. We learn in Christian Science that man coexists with God, that man is the reflection of God, infinite divine Mind.

ON many occasions students of Christian Science seeking deliverance from a situation that seemed inadequate or incomplete, have found comfort and guidance in the statement of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, given on page 307 of her work "Miscellaneous Writings": "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for to-morrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment.
