UNITY OF GOOD IN WORLD MIND WILL END WAR 'Continued From Page One.) NC —— ly In search of that certain law of healing which she believed a correct understanding of God would bring. In this search the theories of allopathy, or regular medicine, were explored In vain, then homeopathy, a step away from mere drugs toward a more mental form of healing, and afterwards hydropathy. lira. Eddy recognized after years of Investigation and experiment that this certain law of healing was not to be found In any of the accepted systems, and she then turned away from the material and human to the spiritual and divine. She dug deeper and deeper beneath the crust of materiality, through and beyond the strata of material Ignorance, false education and prejudice and in a direction, from which those about her said no good results could come. They, like the natives of Aniwa. believed that no relief was to be found apart from the generally accepted, though wholly inadequate, methods. Not for days and weeks but for years this God-loving woman pursued her quest tirelessly and alone. As she has written of Christ Jesus so it may be repeated of her, for she “plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found the spiritual cause” (Science and Health, page 2J<ri, making available the stream 1 of Spiritual knowledge for all mankind. OVERCAME SERIOUS INJURY. It was in 1566 that Mrs. Eddy overcame a serious injury through reliance on spiritual, as wholly apart from matterial. law and became convinced of th • present availability of this law for suf faring humanity. For three years thereafter she studied the Scriptures most diligently "and from them derived a fuller understanding of this spiritual law of life and Its applicability to every need of men. The results of these and the preceding years of consecrated study and research were given to the world in 1875 through the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which has become, next to the Bible on which it Is founded, the most widely read book in the Christian world. As Doctor Paton made the material waters available to the unbelieving natives of Aniwa. waters which had ever been within their reach though iu the opposite direction from which they had been looking, so Mrs. Eddy has made available that water of life lying beneath the material surface of things, the water which alone satisfies the thirst of men for the truth of being. Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, wrote of Mrs. Eddy with profound admiration. "Lore," she says, “permeates all the teachings of thl3 great woman—so great, I believe, that at this perspective we can scarcely realize how great—-and looking Into her life history we see nothing but self-sacrifice and selflessness. Mrs. Eddv should hare the respect, admiration and love of the whole nation, for she Is Its greatest woman. - ’ CAFSE ANTI EFFECT SET FORTH. What. let us ask, was this water of life, this spiritual truth or law which has proved so potent to overthrow and set at naught heretofore generally accepted material law, heal the sick, and bring to multitudes lasting happiness and cheer? Ifli her writings Mrs. Eddy has made It plain that Christian Science is founded upon a correct understanding of the one universal cause and of the effects proceeding from and expressing that cause. This cause men have most frequently called God, while the universe and man have been thought of as effect. r Rwe see that if a correct concept of © fundamentls can l*j gained the or scientifle Idea of life will be obed. This Is the treasure which ChrisScienee gives. great moral current la running through the minds of nien and nations, and whence is it running? E’-ery thoughtful observer must see that it is toward a oneness of mind, a common sense of right, a common sense of life and how to livw among all the peoples of the earth. Men are finding Hale by little their natural unity, their oneness of being, and they are finding It In the one common universal sense, of life and law which knows no geographical harriers. no raclAl nor national distinctions In Us flual development. A great statesman has recently said that the work of uniting the nations in the bonds of brotherhood Is an effort to enthrone the conscience of the world. What Is this conscience of the world that we are so desirous of enthroning as our lawgiver? Is It not the collective or common consciousness of right, of Justice, law, and love? It Is this universal conscience, tha common consciousness or right and good, discerned as yet but dimly, yet discerned and obeyed In an ! ever, increasing measure, which In its ! full unfe'.dtaent Is “Gpd with us," the j Mind of absolute good. It Is the house of the Lord and. in the thought of the prophet, all the nations of the earth nro mentally flowing Into it. Job discerned this Incorporeal and unlimited sense of God and spoke of God as being in one Mind. Christ Jesus spoke of this parent intelligence as Father and Spirit, •lafiu regarding the kindness, merer, anil protection of the Father Mind spoke of tlim as Love. “God Is Love; and tie that dwelleth In (thinks In Ideas of) love dwelleth In God, and God In him” (1 John 4-16.) How near, how reasonable, and as Christian Science Is proving, how practical la such a sense of God, for we see all rlght-islndedness la nothing .jore nor less than God manifest, the fullness of true being Including your being and mine. But we only know Mind as we know the Ideas which express it and the highest of these Is man. The world Is com- j lug to honor and to recognize the mental man, that state of consciousness which ; most clearly expresses the Ideas of the true Mind or God. Mrs. Eddy has given an illuminating definition of a man In Science and Health <p. 4T5). where she i says “He Is the compounded idea of God, ! Including all right Ideas ” Perhaps to define man ns Idea-way to>oi ! to you rather vague. Men have thought I of man In terms of matter for so long that the inclination Is to think of him 1 as a combination of material elements cojoined in a way yet unknown, with mind. But if you will let go for the moment of the material sertse of man and try to regard him only from the j standpoint of an expression of true In-! telilgence you will see that the term Idea most fittingly expresses his status and relationship to the parent Mind. Consider If you will why it Is that the world has recently so honored a small group of forward looking statesmen.-—the peace delegates at Paris. It is not because of anything physical, their weight, their features, or the color of their hair. The material Is wholly subordinated. What men honor In them is the rnentni man, the Individual state of consciousness which expresses right Ideas. In the proportion that they have voiced what la right they have struck a responsive chord In the minds of nun everywhere, for their brothers are perceiving, though yet darkly, the truer sense of manhood and honoring it. This is In Its fuli unfoi.lment the spiritual man, the expression of God, best exemplified by Christ Jesus. Man, then, seen as the creature of Mind, is recognized to be simply art Individual state of right-mindedness always thlnkJng in accord with God. th true Mind. Tie- is “the compound idea of God. including all right Ideas" (Science and Health, p. 475). MORTAL MAN REFCDIATED. Perhaps some of you were taught as children that man was first made from the dust of the ground, others may believe In the theory of material evolution, man evolved from molecule and monkey up to his present estate. If you have accepted either of these theories have you •topped to consider where wisdom, intelligence. kindness, charity and love cotne from? Though you may be satisfied with the theorv of evolution as an explanation of this mass of matter termed a body, that explanation gives no satisfaction as to the origin of the things which even today the world honors the most, namely the mental and spiritual qualities of man. The Issue raised in the first two chapters of Genesis the first stating the fact of the spiritual and perfect creation, the second presenting the nature of the false material sense of creation, la whether we will accept as our origin dust or Piety. We must choose between matter and animality or God and spirituality. It Is devil versus God, matter versus Mind. On which side are we? Disraeli, the great English statesman, once put the ►last*- thus, “What,” he asked, -is the now put before society? The [question is this—ls man an Ape or [Angel? My Lord," be replied “1 am on 'the side of thef Angeles. “The side of the Angels” I take to mean the spiritual side or sense of being, at ‘least that is what Christian Science means by It. for angtla It doss not coccelve of as human creatures with feathery wings but as tbe good thoughts sent of God, which the

psalmist said were given charge over man to keep him In all his ways. Isaiah sought to turn the thought of big people away from this erroneous mori tal concept of man with the admonition, | “Cease ye from man, whose breath is i In his nostrils: for wheretn is he to be accounted of?” (Isaiah 2:22). In other words, stop thinking of the mortal, material sense of man as the true man, for there is absolutely no way % to account for him as a creature of God. In Romans j 3:8 Paul makes the perfectly explicit statement, "They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God," and elsewhere be speaks of the Imperative necessity to “put off . . . the old man, which is corrupt . . . and . . . put on the new man, which, after God is created In righteousness” (Ephesians 4:22-24). Tha JBlbie depicts the ma terial creation and material selfhood only to show its falsity and the way to' its overthrow through the understanding of true spiritual being. The fact is as the Bible makes very plain that the one true and enduring man, God’s man, is as stated _ig the first chapter of Genesis made in the likeness of God, that is ho has the character and nature of God, and why should this not be so? Does not a cause produce an ejlect like itself? Jesus made it plain that this is the faet when h? said. “I and niv I-’nther are one” (John 10:30), one, that is, in quality and nature. Often he reierred to the Father which dwelt in bhm in other words the Mind of good or God which was his consciousness, and to Phillip lie said, “I am in the Father and the Father in me" (John 14:10). Man is predestined to be the living witness or evidence of God, His expression and consciousness, even as the sunbeam is ever the witness and evidence of the presof - sun ‘ God's one agency of i expression is the spiritual universe and I spiritual man. ! Christian Science not only presents the uue concept of man but shows that it is attainable in somo considerable measure right nere and right now. It shows that n each and every one of us, and there Is no eioeption, no, not one, there is a natural ability and cojupetcncy to nn?iitaLy work our way out of the wilderness of material beliefs, out of the net of material selfhood Into our natural unity and agreement with eTer present good, Mind, the consciousness which is God, our real life and being. The process is wholly- mental, as Paul indicated when he said, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). APPLICATION OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Dell, then, how does one begin to apply the teachings of Christian Science? first of all he begins mentally to resist evil. He follows the .Scriptural advice to resist the devil, which his study of Christian Science has taught him Is but the counterfeit evil mind which tries to operate through evil thoughts projected Into his consciousness, or through the physical senses. He learns to become a sentry at the door of thought and to reject every thought or suggestion which Is r.ot good, is not an expression of God, the one real Life, for he has taken his mental stand for what God has made him to be and he Is determined to assert and prove his mental and living unitv with the Mind and Life which is God, knowing that it is natural and right for him to do so and that God has endowed him with the ability to do it. We must learn to fight mentally tor peace of body and mind as persistently as our soldiers have fought physically for peace among human governments. The real and final battle ground of human progress is the consciousness of individual man. Tbe mental attitude which It Is necessary for one to adopt in the practice of Christian Science is Indicated in some measure by the mental attitude which an actor must assume In order to be successful In his part, ne must be will- l Ing to put off without reservation his | every day sense of selfhood and think; and act only as the character be Is to represent. If he tries to bo half his ordinary self and half the character he is depicting he will only be a failure. There must be a complete surrender in thought of the one selfhood and a complete acceptance of the other. He must think, move, act, and no only the character he la representing. So it is when we use Christian Science we must abandon the old concept of selfhood and put our whole heart Into thinking and living as God’s man. In place of selfishness we must be unselfish and kind, for hate we must substitute love, j for self-will we must express humility, j for impurity we must think purity. A I good thought must t3ke the place of j every evil thought. Unlike the actor’s part this change Is not for a moment but for eternity. We are putting off the ! old man of ’natter, earth and mortality, i and are putting on the new man, the real i man of God s making, our true selfhood. The point we need to remember Is that 1 we can't play two parts, as the devil Is ever trying to get us to do. “As many as are led by the spirit of God," says I ‘ Paul, “they are the sons of God” (Ro- ! I mans 8:14). We will havo to choose be- j ! tween the spirit of God and tha spirit [ | of evil. ! Now of course we do not get out of the ] I meshes of false material education In a, ; day. But we must begin If we are to at- j tain. "Emerge gentlv from matter into: ! Spirit" (Science and Health, page 458), Is i Mrs. Eddy's counsel. The difficulty Is j I that some lay so much emphasis on the ! gently that they fall to emerge. REALITY AND UNREALITY. ; Enough has perhaps been said to show | that Christian Science sets up a different! i standard than that accepted by the i world as to what is real and unreal. It : ■ docs not accept everything as real just! because a claim is made that a thing Is ; I real any more than we accept everything !as true which is told us. Only tnat is j regarded as real In Christian Science ! which cun be attributed to God, for since ' |He Is the only real cause there can be ! no real effect from any other cause. ! ! Judged from this standard one can see: !why it Is that ail evil, discord, sin aud : disease are regarded by Christian Science I ; to be unreal. They have no relation with i God or Ills perfect creation. The effort i lof all mankind to be rid of evil shows ! that we Instinctively repudiate it In our : j thought as being unnatural and so In 1 j the last analysis unreal. Christian Science 1 i does not say that sin. sickness and die- ; j cord are not very real to the mnterlal ! j sense, but it does say that Judged in the i : iight of the spiritual sense of being ; which overrules and transcends material sense they ore seen as false claims about i true life and existence. Nor does Christian Science Ignore suds conditions. Rath- * or does It show men how to destroy them, ! for being negative and false they are to ; j be overcome by replacing them in thought i I with the concept of what is divinely true, j i He who believes that evil Is real and that I God sent It has no business at all try lag I to get rid of It. If, then, evil is not real, what is It you may ask? It Is false belief. As i for every fact you may suppose Its < p I posite, the lie about It. so the sum of i 11 ;is the lie about God. universal good, .t i is a bastard lio and ceases to have any j recognition or place when the truth is j realized. Jesus made this plain when I he spoke of evil as a liar In which there ! Is no truth and pointed the way to man's liberation front it In the well known | statement, “Ye shall know th" truth, and the truth shall make you free.” This brief statement summarizes the whole process of Christian Science practice and Is the law that defines the line of march for all human progress. FALSE CONCEPTS ABANDONED. If you will take a'mental birds-eye view of the world for the past century you will see that many false beliefs have been abandoned, beliefs which at one time were ganerally accepted as unchangeable facts. Buch for Instance was the system of human slavery, the liquor traffic, the opium trade In China, the “divine” right of kings. These have been recognized as negative states of thought or false beliefs. It was but a few years ago that the liquor traffic was thought of by many as a necessary evil. But thought hu changed. People have come to see, most of them. In our great country at least, that It isn't necessary. Let ! me say here that there ore no necessary | evils. I wish you might nil remember that. man sees what reel Life is j he sees that evil is not only not necessary but is impossible. Where is the ! liquor traffic now? When it was recognized for what It was It was meutally repudiated and is now disappearing into oblivion. Consider if you will the concept of autocracy as old as tho human species. There is not much question about that having been cast on the mental scrap heap, at least so far as Its aggressive political phases are concerned. So sure are you and I that it Is not a true or legitimate concept of law or right, in other words, that I: does not belong to tbe | right and true order of things.—is not jof God,— that we h :ve completely repudiated if' mentally. We would not fight ; for It. vote for it. nor think in favor of |it ns a thing real or legitimate. We have awakened to its unreality. So every I one of ns must mentally nw-keu to the unreality of every evil concept, all sin and disease, and cast it out of our consciousness. and all for tbe very best of reasons. Not one of these concepts la of God. Do you suppose that God Is any more on the slue op and cancer or Influenza

or a sinful appetite than He 1 on the side of the liquor traffic or the rule of autoracy? Men have discerned In some measure their right and ability to resist and overthrow the false claims of evil to rule them-politically. They are beginning to see and to use their greater right -and ability to resist and overthrow the attempts of evil to rule them bodily and mentally. There are still many of us, however, who would be quite content to find a shady nook In hell and stay there. We have yet to discover that there is no el! ”de nor peace In materiality. Our property rights in hell must be abandoned, and the man who is keeping his religion in his wife’s name will have to change his position. SEPARATING EVIL FROM MAN. Evil in some’ of Its forms, such as evil habits, appetites, sickness, bad business practices, and so on has become so persistent in many an individual experience that It has seemed-+o be welded into our very nature and to be a part of us. How to be rid of It is • a question that many have not been able to answer. • An object held close to the eye, even though It be no larger than a feather, may seem as big as a mountain. The thing to do In order to judge It rightly Is to get it separated from you so that you may see what Us real nature Is. Men have been mentally holding evil In various phases so close to themselves, so close to their sense of selfhood, that they have failed to discern Its real nature, tl has often seeme das big os a mountain, though really it is no mare than a feather. Christian Science a mental wedge beteween man and his concept of evil, and little by little separates it from him until his perspective le changed so shat he can see it for what It Is—a false claim about bis true being—and handle it on that basis. As with every enemy, something must be known of the methods and modes of evil before it can be combated successfully. The last great offensive of our enemies In tha recent war was checked, the Initiative wrested from them never to be lost by us, on the day when we knew exactly their plans of attack and so were prepared to meet them. It Is this valuable information that Christian Science Is giving to mankind with regard to the common enemy—the evil mind. Let us suppose that we have here a phonograph. On It is a record. We start the machine and this is what we hear. “This is the record of a mortal's thoughts on an autumn morning In 1318. (The recotil begins.) The health officer says that the epidemic is coming this way and will strike today. I wonder who told him. The paper says It is getting pretty bad in the State next to us. If It comes here 1 wonder if 1 will get sick Those germs are funny creatures, a million on the end of a needle they say. Not much on sizo bnt big on appetite it. seems.

I seem to havo three. 1 believe I am getting feverish, that's the fourth. I half believe I'm getting It. Yes, I feel sure I'm patting It. I know I have It. Johnnie, run for the doctor." EVIL SUGGESTION FA RAISING ITSELF. Now, my friends remember this is but a phonograph record. Hero is a mechanic’ll Instrument giving out certain sounds. They do not fright u because vve see very plninly that there is nothing in what this material mechanism does that we nerd fear. It Is but matter talking. Move the sound-making Instrument right up to tho ear and the same reasons make ns absolutely fearless of what It says. It simply Isn't us aud wa know it. .Suppose it was possible to make It so small it would go into the ear and yet keep on talking the same or similar words, Still you would not accept It as your thinking, would you? It would still remain separate and apart—a lifeless voice. Tbe question now comes, did those thoughts really belong to and constitute a part of the selfhood of that man who voiced them as his own? Christian Science says, No. It was evil suggestion parading itself as the selfhood of man and he accepted It. that is was deceived by it. It was a phase of the spirit of evil seeking to sub. stitute itself for the spirit or consclousfi": a of good which Is man's normal state of mind. What should he do, do you aak ? Just this, —he should separate the lying evil argument from his sense of selfhood as tbe expression of God. Ho should know that the evil voice talLtug on the inside is no more a part of his real being than the matter volco on tho phono graph outside. They aro made of the self same stuff, the stuff that dreams are made of. When such arguments suggest themselves he mentally asserts the affirmative facts of spiritual manhood In some such way as this, "1 repudiate uml deny these lying suggestions of evil, for man is not susceptible to discord or dlscasa. God the Infinite good, Mind, is the source and fountain of my life. X do not live In or by material sense or material law, for my true being is spiritual. In God's creation good is supreme and tho aUompts of evil to operate these arguments of false material selfhood. contagion, and Infection cannot thwart or change tbe supremacy of the law and the life that Is God. expressed by man. The Bible says that God is men's salvation, and that no plague shall come nigh his dwelling. I recognize and accept these statements as statements of the protective power of spiritual law, applicable to me here and now, and I deny the claim of any material law to supersede or displace God's law. Knowing Uod to be infinite good, tiullmited Love, f have no fear of evil. Divine Love forever enfolds and protects me. His power Is ever working to support and to sustain me. With John I declare that now I am the son of God.” For every evil suggestion there Is an angel, a God-sent thought, to reverse and overthrow It. HEALING ACCEPTED AT FULL MEANING. Tbe real meaning of the word heal Is to make whole, to restore to original Integrity. Christian Science alone among the healing agencies of the present day accepts this word nt Its full meaning. Christian Science not only heals the mental or physical disorder but. sets In motion those processes of thought which result inevitably in the restoration of man to his original Integrity as the In- i dividual expression of God. I am frequently surprised to observe how ignorant many people still nre of the faet that Christian Science really heals the sick. Despite the fact that for forty years this church has successfully healed all manner of disease so as to be specifically recognized >as a healing agency by the laws of more than thirty of our Srites, by the executive and administrative branches of our Federal Government, and by many honest physicians, there are still many who say, “But does Christian Science really heal, aud heal all kinds of disease?” It does just that. Wore it not for the healing work that Christian Science lias been able to do there would not be a Christian Science church or a Christian Scientist in the world today, for practically u'l those who hare come to it came, at least in the early part of its growth, for physical healing. They stayed because they received that which they sought and more. Only forty years ago the first Christian Science church was organized lu Boston. Since then nearly eighteen hundred organizations have been formed throughout tbe world. Christian Science is offering to tho world today a volume of testimony as to the efficacy of it* healing work unexcelled 1n the history of therapeutic systems From business men, educators, lawyers, Judges, phyrirlnns, ministers, and men and women of ail trades and ' classes It la offering evidence of health | ~nd happiness restored to the iudivldual. j 'thfie testimonies may be heard in the ; Wednesday evening meetings of the I cuiircji. terial MEDICINE i OPI’OSRD TO CHRISTIANITY. Christian Scion;- has no quarrtd with ; honest physicians. 1 c respects them and rejoleeg in all the good that the)* may be able to do. It frankly differs with their healing methods and resists every attempt to-have them made compulsory by law. It believes that every healing system should stand or fall on Its own merits and that men will find the system which can best secure their health. An autocracy In medical practice It believes to be as intolerable as compulsory religion. The tyrannical medical treatment forced upon our hoys in the Army stands as r warning of what State medicine would bring Into civil life.

This is the systefn that, in the words of a

noted English physician, has “been vivisecting animals l’or upwards of two thousand years without the slightest benefit to the human race.” For such a system to seek State sanction by which it could with Immunity close our churches, put matter first aiid God last, force on you and on me and on defenseless children Inoculations with the poison pus from diseased animals and sickly men, is this not indeed a mockery on a people who regard Christianity and Its teachings as the bulwark of their civilization and Jesus Christ as the greatest physician the world has ever known? Those who mistakenly seek power to enforce the teachings of a system still true to Its pagarf'root do not need more power but do need more knowledge. Serums and vaccines come from sick animals and men, and are Injected Into healthy persons on the theory that the one so Inoculated is given a mild form of the disease so prevented from having a worse form later on. In other words the vaccination of a man means just this, “Inject him with a little devil before a big revil gets him.” Observe, please, that It is all In the devil family. What is really needed Is something that casts out big and lltf! devils, gets at the root of all disease. The only power that does that is God. Either Jesus knew wlint he was talking about when he attributed disease to a mental cause and healed It on that basis or he did not. Either the New Tesament presents the true way to head disease or it does not. Christian Science is proving to all who havo eyes to see that, the very same law which raised Igizarus, healed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind, is still operative and that it is wholly above and apart from medical diagnosis, narcotics, vaccines an dthe butchery of the lower creature. The greatest war in human history has but just been concluded. The. purpose of this great conflict as it finally came to be most generally acknowledged was, in the words of our President, “to make the world safe for democracy,” to make possible the further advance of men on the road of progress toward that true freedom and liberty which is to be found in tbe brotherhood of man. In these days when evil forces hold and subtle would deprive mankind of the fruits for which they have striven and suffered it behooves us to consider wed

the underlying verities of being, to discern as clearly as we may the goal of ail human progress and so be guided aright on the momentous questions facing us as citizens, not only of America but of the world; for we can only serve the mission of America, iny friends, as we serve the cause of righteousness and justice everywhere. America was not born for Isolation and national self-in-terest, but to light and hold aloft the touch of spiritual light that shows tho way to liberty, Justice, aud brotherhood for all mankind. Let us ever keep before us the fact that there Is bu( one God and so but one creation, that the steps of progress are taken as we come nearer and ever near to the realization in our Individual, national, and International life of this great fact of the common interest, the oneness of being which unites and binds all men In one grat. brotherhood. L-et us remember that the adversary Is cvei seeking to divide, cause suspicion, distrust, and ‘hat between individuals, classes and peoples, and so let us not be deceived with these suggestions that deny the' unity of good and scoff at the brotherhood or man. Paul has told us that the Father of all bath made of one blood all nations, and that though many We are one body in Christ; that is. we have all one body of being In Truth. Christ Jesus, sounding the note for the judgment of true greatness, whether is be for the individual or the nation, said, “He that Is greatest among you shall be your servant’’ (Matt. 23:11). Solomon answered the cynic, the scoffer, and the seif seeker centuries before when he .said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov. 23:18). On page 407 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes: “It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life. Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion .is this fact becomes apparent, war will cease, and tin. frue brotherhood of man will be established."
