Perhaps no term in the English language has been more misapplied than the word transcendental. The hour has come for its true meaning and value to be revealed, for its rescue from the false sense that it applies to what is visionary, unreal, and impracticable.

Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable.

The sick and the sinful are asking, "What must I do to be saved?" Christian Science replies in the language of Scripture, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. " Believe and be saved.

Perhaps no feature of the teaching of Christian Science arouses so much interest on the part of the beginner as that which relates to the unreality of matter. Many are only too glad to believe what Christian Science has to say about the loving purpose of our heavenly Father to send nothing but good to His children.

A great deal is written and said nowadays about the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. These two phrases, so often upon the lips of religionists and thinking people, when rightly understood, are full of beauty and power, but misinterpreted, they drift easily into vain repetition and meaningless cant.

AS a man looketh at the world, so is it. Is not this a correlative of the Scripture, "As he thinketh in his heart, so is he"? And if it be true, is it not evidential to the fact that the world (meaning, of course, the physical world and its incidents) is non-real and phenomenal? And if such world be non-real, does it not follow that the atheist is deprived of the very pith of his argument against the existence of God as omniscient and omnipotent good? But, on the other hand, if the physical world and its incidents, as known to our sense-perception and sense-consciousness, be reality, either sole or dual, how can the atheistic argument be met successfully, except it be wholly by the authority of the Bible? Correct reasoning ought always to be able to avoid antagonizing the Bible; and when it does seem to antagonize it, the true course is to seek the error in the premises upon which the reasoning is based.

The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. — Jesus.

Each year the summer vacation season reminds me of some experiences of mine seven years ago. From years of shop life, an outing had come to mean the getting away as far as possible from everything that would suggest the routine of daily work, and being just as free from physical or mental exertion as inclination might prompt.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE , in its application to the affairs of mankind, demands just such exactness in its practice as does any other science, law, or form of government. To become a Christian Scientist means to submit so unreservedly to Divine law, that this law, in its operation, shall tend continually to govern, to adjust, to purify, and to redeem the personal life, in its every minute detail.

MAN is more than physical sense can outline or describe. We may enumerate all the organs or divisions of the human body, and yet include nothing essential to immortality or to real manhood.
