How many who have read these words of the Master have taken in the full import of the unselfishness portrayed in them, and how many of us who profess to love and revere his name, and who try, as well as we know how, to follow in his footsteps, have even the faintest-conception of this mighty "joy" with which this man of men, in order to share with his loved human brethren, endured the keenest anguish, the ill-treatment, the ingratitude of those for whom he suffered, without a murmur or complaint? What is this wonderful "joy" which made the blessed Master oblivious to all but it? and how is this "joy" to be fulfilled in ourselves? and what are the "things" which he spoke in the world? We must remember that before Jesus came to this world's consciousness in the human form, the age was a terrible one. Sin ran riot, and the natural consequence of sin—sickness—was rife in the land.

One of the most subtle errors of to-day is the thought of who shall be greatest,—the selfish desire for leadership and a large following; forgetting the promise, "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" ( Matthew, 18 : 20 ). The first lessons that Christian Science teach us are obedience and humility.

To-day , as on the day of Pentecost, "the wonderful works of God" are revealed, through Christian Science, to the devout seeker for Truth; but now, as then, each one, listening to the Word, hears of the "works of God" in his own language, and only as his understanding is illuminated does he speak with the "new tongue. " One marvels that his friends do not accept the Truth as taught in Christian Science, especially when they see what it has done for him.

The opening services of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in London, Ontario, on Sunday, August 6, marked an important step in the progress of Christian Science in that city. The church was formerly known as St.

Heaven is harmony. Harmony exists where there is a demand for every right supply and supply for every just demand.

The nineteenth century, now rapidly drawing to its close, has brought forth marvelous discoveries and inventions. Their practical application has astonished mankind.

I have long felt that I would like to express my gratitude for the great blessing that has come to me through Christian Science. After seeking for many years, without avail, to gain health through the means of materia medica, Christian Science restored me to health.

The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying, What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? As I live, saith the Lord God ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the precious text-book given us by one anointed of God to proclaim His Truth to the world, defines "Morning" as "Light; symbol of Truth; revelation and progress" (Page 582). First, the faint dawn that comes to us in the darkness of human belief; then progress, as the understanding of Truth unfolds to our consciousness until the bright morning light is revealed; then the perfect day of divine Love, wherein "No night drops down upon the troubled breast" (Mrs.

From my early childhood days questions of this nature were always coming to me: Is there a God? Where is the being men call God? Where is Jesus, the Son of God? Why does not man receive the help he asks of God in this world of sin, sorrow, and woe?
