And every morning seems to say There's something happy on the way And God sends love to you. — Van Dyke What joyous expectancy of good is ours when we can awaken each morning with the glorious assurance of "something happy on the way"! Now what has one to do to be joyously expectant of good, and thereby assured of righteousness, health, peace, longevity, and success? The task is not an arduous one.

THE present revolutionary period in human affairs probably has had no historic precedent. Many changes of major importance have taken place in the world even within living memory.

THE teaching of Christian Science reveals to its student the truth to be found in the Scriptures concerning God and His man and His universe, the truth about Christianity and its healing power. What, then, he is to do with his understanding of the truth as he receives it, how he is to hold himself increasingly receptive to its gracious appearing and its healing results, become the chief concern of every earnest Christian Scientist.

IN 1866, there was but one Christian Scientist in all the world, a gentle New England woman, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science. Ten years later Mrs.

IN his vision, as recorded in Revelation, John saw that by the innocent and pure Christ-idea—"by the blood of the Lamb"—is suppositional evil, the false accuser of God's creation, overcome.

Jesus, in his healing ministry, constantly showed forth the love that understands and the understanding that loves, not humanly but divinely.

EVERY system of thought is based on some proposition, some foundation or premise which may or may not be true or tenable. The truth or falsity of every system is determined by the soundness of its foundation.

It was after his father's death that a second and more definite call came to Abram with a magnificent promise attached to it. And this was the Divine intimation: "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee; and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing; and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Today one often hears the cry, I am the victim of circumstances over which I have no control. Many of those uninstructed in Christian Science fall an easy prey to this subtle form of suggestion, and this mental attitude tends to produce what humanity is endeavoring to avoid, namely, hopelessness, despair, and defeat.
