In the sixth chapter of Paul's first epistle to Timothy we find this admonition: "Charge them that are rich in this world .

The question is often asked, Why do so many of the Jewish people embrace Christianity through Christian Science? For the greater part they are those who are not satisfied with wordy prayers to be repeated on special occasions in connection with certain ceremonies. Having outgrown the doing of things from a sense of fear, superstition, or tradition, they begin to reason for themselves.

Politics is defined as "the science of government," and in the light of this definition it is peculiarly the field of action for Christian Scientists, for they know that God alone governs, and the science which deals with God's relation to His idea, man, is really the science of government, or the only true politics. If each individual man and woman were completely in accord with divine government, we should have the perfection of politics made manifest, and there would then be no need for the ordinary human agencies, organizations, and activities which are commonly considered under the term.

Christian Science is freeing the race from its belief in and fear of evil by making plain the truth that evil is never actual but always suppositional. The existence of any fact renders impossible the actual existence of anything which denies or opposes that fact.

The word Logos, which in the King James Version and many other versions of the New Testament is rendered "the Word," should never, according to an eminent philologist, have been translated out of the Greek, for he maintains that no other language possesses an exact equivalent for it.

An inquirer who listened to the testimony remarked that, after all, the speaker had gone home on two material legs and in a material street car.

Every conquest of the belief of material selfhood means an advance in the direction of reality. The total elimination of all belief in a self apart from God will mark the consummation of the task which awaits each human being, and Christian Science assists this accomplishment with its light of revelation and exposition of the truth of being.

Individual spiritual man is the idea of divine Mind. On page 475 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs.

All Christian Scientists, and many who are not Christian Scientists, find help and benefit beyond measure in the Wednesday evening meetings. The individual members of the congregation have opportunity during these meetings to testify to the healing power of Christian Science, and the success of the meetings is thereby dependent to a very large extent upon a proper participation on the part of the congregation.
