Christian Science lays very great emphasis upon individual redemption as being essential to human uplift. First, last, and always its appeal to the student is insistent that the making of a righteous race can be effected only by the making of righteous men.

Much has been said in praise of our literature, and much has been advised as to the method of its distribution. Like all other forms of work, it has sprung from a vital need and has a definite idea back of it.

To such proportions has the demonstration of Christian Science advanced that every day is replete with healing experiences. When one reads in the periodicals and hears in the Wednesday evening meetings the testimonies of healing, and sees and learns of the liberty and unspeakable joy that come to sick, sinful, discordant, and despondent mortals through the study and application of this teaching, he has conclusive proof of the power of divine Mind as expressed in righteous thinking, and of the fact that God heals.

In his talk with his disciples in the quiet of the "upper chamber," in the hour preceding his victory in Gethsemane, Jesus told them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

The application of the teachings of Christian Science to pedagogics is a most interesting subject. It is in all respects the most important feature of such education to-day.

Law , the only true law, is the expression of the government of Principle. The Principle of the universe is God, of whom Jesus said that He is Spirit.

Those people who object to prohibition, qua prohibition, might stay, in their haste, to remember the morning when Sinai was hidden in a great smoke, as it were the smoke of a furnace, and the voice of Principle spake to the people, through the mouth of Moses, the words of the law, the "Thou shalt nots" of the Commandments.
