A WELL-KNOWN psychologist, when discussing the possibility of anything in the nature of a spiritual experience having at any time reached human consciousness, has given it as a test, that an experience to be spiritual must bring some new knowledge, something quite different and apart from the expectation and imaginings of the human mind. The history of revelation as recorded in the Bible, where spiritual truth is Seen gradually dawning on the consciousness of men, stands the test of the modern psychologist.

THE first revelation of Truth contained in the teachings of Christian Science may burst upon human consciousness with a glowing promise. As we strive, however, for a more enlightened understanding of the rules given us in our textbooks, the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, that we may successfully solve our human problems, we may find that we have a cross to bear.

" Love is our refuge; only with mine eye Can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall: His habitation high is here, and nigh, His arm encircles me, and mine, and all. " MARY BAKER EDDY ( Poems, p.

FOR nearly two thousand years the world has had before it the example of the master Christian. To a considerable extent it has accepted the letter of Christianity, until a large proportion of the inhabitants of the earth have come to call themselves Christian.

IN "No and Yes" by Mary Baker Eddy ( p. 33 ) we find these words: "Self-sacrifice is the highway to heaven;" and surely every earnest traveler along the road of life, whether it seem smooth or rough, echoes these words.

AFTER one has experienced the healing ministration of Christian Science, gratitude prompts the early desire to aid in the spreading of this gospel of salvation so that all mankind may share the blessings it bestows. The individual, having attended the church services and perhaps having observed the orderly functioning of the various church activities, has his attention attracted to these outward, visible manifestations as the starting point of church activity; whereas the fact is that these activities operate to the glory of the Most High, and minister to the needs of humanity only as it is apprehended that they have their source and their sustaining power in an understanding of God, good, and the mission of His Christ.

A STORY is told of a small boy who, becoming restless during church service, was admonished by his mother that an acquaintance was watching him, and was asked what he supposed this person would think of a boy who did not sit still in church. Giving the question a moment's consideration, the little fellow whispered his reply: "If he is thinking anything but good of me, he is not any better than I am.

THERE is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.
