It should seem obvious upon even a moment's reflection that God will govern the future as He has governed the past, that the loving Principle of all the universe will be and remain loving and protective as He has always been. Yet, upon an analysis of human thought, mortals will be surprised to discover how fixed is the assumption that some evil of great consequence will surely befall.

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.
