GOOD and evil have faced each other in human consciousness since the beginning of history. But it was not until the discovery of Christian Science by Mrs.

THE enduring love of Jesus is an example for mankind, whose affections are often unstable. On the night of the Last Supper, when the disciples were gathered together, the Master gave parting instructions to the little band of followers who were to continue his mission by taking Christianity to the world.

Animal magnetism is the action of a so-called mind other than God and the influence of that action on human belief and human conditions. Other names for it are hypnotism and mesmerism.

" With one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science. " So writes Mrs.

When Jesus reappeared in the resurrection, he proved that man's individuality is indestructible, that the distinctness of the self is eternal and not subject to changing flesh. The Master had tried to make this fact clear by his precepts and by raising to life those who had died.

At a time when Christians are involved in discussing the need for greater unity, it is not unusual for Christian Scientists to consider carefully the place that Christian Science occupies in the Christian community. They realize that while this Science necessarily excludes itself from controversies over doctrines, creeds, ceremonies, and rituals, which tend to separate one denomination from another, Science in no way departs from Christianity as Christ Jesus taught and established it.

Hypnotism has become a force to be reckoned with, as the author of this remarkable allegory realized even then.

TRUTH includes a perfect universe embraced in the understanding of one infinite Mind. In Truth there are no obstacles.

PERHAPS no question has been asked more often during the centuries than this one: "Where did evil come from?" The fact that the question continues to be asked indicates belief in the reality of evil. Christian Science is making a great contribution to humanity by scientifically exposing evil's deceptive nature and showing how to bring its false claims to naught.
