The Bible and the writings of Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, make plain that earnest, faithful labor is necessary in order to attain to spiritual discernment.

Students of Christian Science are beginning to see that much of the trouble and difficulty incidental to mortal existence is due to the false belief in time. The reason for this becomes obvious in the light of divine metaphysics: Mrs.

THE prototype of the Wednesday evening testimony meeting was that memorable gathering in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, when the followers of Christ began speaking "with other tongues"—the language of Spirit—and bearing witness to the power of God, as demonstrated in the life and works of Christ Jesus, which, with the proofs of his resurrection, had given such abundant verification to his Messiahship. "With one accord in one place" these early Christians, we are told, spake "as the Spirit gave them utterance;" and the multitudes which assembled to hear them also gave silent witness to the truth, and marveled that they heard it, every man "in his own language.

Mrs. EDDY'S description of Christian Science, on page 224  of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," is full of meaning.

MERELY to state that Christian Science is founded upon so distinctive a basis that it is necessarily differentiated from all other philosophies and religions does not carry conviction. Similarly, to assert sweepingly that the divine Principle underlying it constitutes the one and only true God makes no great appeal, unless there is unfolded a concept of God which is dearer than any that has before been entertained; for, ignorant though he may be of the fact, a mortal's right activities are conditioned upon his individual understanding of God; and no true reform can be consummated save through a transformation of thought originating in a clearer knowledge of what God really is.

THERE are few things in human experience about which more varying opinions are entertained than about prayer. Upon most of us, at some time or other, the need for prayer has been impressed; either in childhood by those having charge of us, or in later years, when coming into contact with others who had the welfare of humanity at heart.

THERE are times in human experience when one seems tried almost beyond the limits of endurance. When these occur, the alert student of Christian Science spends no time in giving way to resentment, or fretfully questioning the justice of the experience, but turns for relief to the sure balm for all his ills to be found in the Bible, the leaves of which tree are "for the healing of the nations," and in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which God has given us in this age through Mary Baker Eddy.
