GOD governs His universe harmoniously, and maintains it in its perfection by means of unvarying law, thus meeting its every need every moment. It is our business so to clarify and purify our thought that we may be receptive to, recognize, and consciously express the harmony of God's government and provision in every activity of every day.

" IF ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. " A glorious promise, which has brought solace, inspiration, and joy to many a weary, heavy-laden heart! Its import is much enhanced in the light of the knowledge which the truth, as revealed by Christian Science, has made available.

THE worship of Deity has always been accompanied with the desire to please God, however crude and imperfect the concepts of Him. Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated the full and perfect understanding of God as Life and as divine Love.

IN the early days of Christianity simplicity characterized the lives of its followers. These had but one goal ahead of them, namely, that of establishing and making practical the teachings of their great Master.

THE Concordances to the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, reveal an interesting number of instances in which she couples the thought of meekness and the thought of might. For example, in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" ( p.

MANY years ago there lived a saintly man, even the beloved disciple, John, whose principal theme was love. And because he greatly loved, opaqueness was not permitted to becloud his consciousness.

"CHURCH," as "the structure of Truth and Love" ( Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 583 ), has existed throughout eternity as a complete idea in divine Mind.

THE healing ministry of Christian Science is literally doing wonders for men and women all over the world in helping them to begin to see things as they really are. Mary Baker Eddy made the revolutionary discovery that, inasmuch as God is Spirit, His universe must be like Him in quality, that is, spiritual; hence it must be a universe made up of spiritual ideas.

WHEN Moses was faced with the task of leading the children of Israel out of Egypt into the promised land, the task of leading discouraged, unhappy, sinful mortal thought into obedience to God through spiritual understanding,—out of material sense into spiritual sense,—much prayer, consecration of thought, selflessness, reaching out for divine guidance, and humble listening to Truth must have taken place in his consciousness, in order to discover through divine inspiration the best ways and means of accomplishing this great work. How to impart to them a certain sense of God's mercy and loving-kindness; how to correct and discipline and yet encourage and enhearten them; how to sow seeds of trust and faith in their thoughts; how to bring to light their true self; in short, how to teach them the truth which would meet their needs—such must have given Moses much prayerful thought.
