THE Psalmist wrote: "Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

COMPARABLE in this respect only with the Bible, whose spiritual treasures it unlocks, the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, abounds in messages of enlightenment and encouragement, comfort and confidence, to the perplexed and distressed everywhere. On the first page, as if by way of guaranty of all that follows, are found four simple words of deep significance to mankind.

" Like a mighty army, Moves the Church of God. " The Bible and the works of Mary Baker Eddy show the methods by which true victories can be obtained—individual and collective victories over every obstacle to spiritual harmony.

MUCH is written in these present times on what is called the high standard of living. The conclusion seems to be that a high standard of living means the possession and enjoyment of a multiplicity of material objects, or that the greater the number of one's material possessions the higher one's standard of living.

JESUS said, "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones. " The teachings of Christianity came like a gleam of light and love into the lives of some of the slaves of ancient Rome.

ROUSE , ye soldiers of the cross! " Here is an order for the Christian Scientist. God has called us, individually, to be obedient to His law.

FOR some years a student of Christian Science has found much joy in the realization that each By-Law in the Manual of The Mother Church can be profitably read and studied by every member of The Mother Church or of a branch church. One is apt to regard a By-Law as applying merely to the governing or business arrangement of the work of whatever board or committee is taking care of a particular activity.

A DEFINITE command in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," one which might be said to form a climax to the instruction given in that remarkable textbook, is found on page 496 , where Mrs. Eddy writes, "Hold perpetually this thought,—that it is the spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost and Christ, which enables you to demonstrate, with scientific certainty, the rule of healing, based upon its divine Principle, Love, underlying, overlying, and encompassing all true being.

ONE of the evidences of the greatness of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, was her courage. Alone with God she faced the entrenched beliefs of the world in the fields of healing, religion, philosophy, and physical science.

THE cause—God—which has produced the spiritual universe must have infinite resources for the eternal existence of its perfect work, laws for its continual government, power everlastingly to perpetuate it. This cause must be inseparable from its product, infinitely intelligent concerning it, and flawless in the maintenance of it.
