Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

"IF I BE LIFTED UP"

" Infinite Mind is the creator. " writes Mrs.

"WORKERS TOGETHER WITH HIM"

The incident found in the nineteenth chapter of Matthew, of the young man who asked of Jesus, "What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" and when given the answer "went away sorrowful. " is a graphic example of the fruitless search for salvation without sacrifice of false gods.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

What wonderful step it would be in a decidedly upward direction if the entire human family would to-day realize the singleness of their responsibility as individuals! As a matter of fact the entire distance of such a step is but the realization of the truth about man's individual relation to the one source of all intelligence and being.

Since ignorance always fears, and indolence is love of ease, his refusal to tolerate anything that opposed his mode of belief is proof that he feared the enlightenment which would necessarily destroy the thing that to him meant life, pleasure in matter.

THE WORLD'S PROBLEM

Modern Science and modern theology have both involved themselves in a very serious dilemma; and as the whole structure of modern civilization is based mainly on what is laid down by its chief thinkers, modern civilization is involved in that very same dilemma. The statements of physical science and of philosophy based upon those statements lead to one inevitable conclusion that the material senses cognize all phenomena out of focus and in reverse.
