Putting on record insights into the practice of Christian Science.

"THE MEDIATOR, OR WAY-SHOWER, BETWEEN GOD AND MEN"

OUTSIDE of Christian Science there is no satisfactory explanation of the mediatorship of Christ Jesus. The doctrine that Christ Jesus was God; that God took upon Himself a human form, becoming incarnate, as God, in the humble Nazarene, will not stand the test of reason, since it signifies that the infinite could become finite.

CONSISTENCY

AN English writer thus discusses the virtue of doing one's duty as compared with mere talking about doing it. "If you want an example of those highest things which cannot be spoken but can be acted," he says, "you have it in duty.

This distinguishes his practice from that of every other; for no healing system extant among men, except Christian Science, is based on the understanding that God, Spirit, is the one and only cause of all that has real being.

TRUE RELATIONSHIP

THERE is nothing with which mankind is more closely concerned than with the question of true relationship. To understand its meaning and thus be able to work out, in daily living, harmonious association with others is what most men consider one of their greatest problems.
