POWER OF JAPS LIES IN KEEPING TRUST WITH U. S. Foremost Writer of Japan Gives Views on Arms Situation. FAITH AMONG NATIONS Special to Indiaua Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. I By XASmOKIO ITO, Os the Tokio JiJI-Shimpo. (•Japan's foremost Naval Writer.) WASHINGTON', Nov. 14.—This article is my personal view without any official relation. X write this as a journalist most earnestly interested In naval defense questions. First of all, I dare say that America's proposal is all right in principle with some reservations only in detail on which I will touch later. I am contident that there cannot be any reasonable ground of objection to it nor should there be, if we really hope peace and humanitarian movement to iessen armament burden, which, after ail, accelerate a war. I can but believe that Japan who is undoubtedly animated with a lofty aspiration to bring about an eternal and closer friendly understanding with the United States, 4rill accept the United States proposal. In doing so Japan not only could express practically her most sincere wish to bring this conference to a bright success but also can attain her chief object that is a closer relation with the United States. Looking upon it from a strategic viewpoint. not tactically, the safest measure for Japan's national security is not Iver 8-8 fleet, but her impregnable friendly tie with the United States, which naturally put the 8-8 fleets out of necessity. • Not a bit flattering about this. I ob- j servo purely from a viewpoint of our national defense. Naval power is all in all relative. There can’t be any basis or standard of a naval strength of any country •without a conception of potential enemies. For instance, you need not a warshap at all to defend the Monroe Doctrine if there is no other naval power to at- I tack it. To defend seashore or commerce is all justified only when there is a possibility of being attacked. The navy can be done away with quite safely When other naval powers abolish theirs.,! This is truth that nobody may deny. Ts so, there is no reason why Japan should object to Mr. Hughes’ proposal, wtiirh shall abolish American dread- j naughts in the sme drastic way. In so far as the relative power of the Japan- j ese navy is not greatly affected, there can not be any destructive counter-proposal. The agreement, on Mr. Hughes' line, will ■ cause trouble, in not a small degree in Japan among ship builders, laborers and naval administration, especially regard lng personnels. This sacrifice must be borne for the much greater aim and J again be shared willingly with the United States and Britain, but it would be better if we could achieve this aim with- j out affecting internal conditions sud- | deniy. While Japan will accept American pro- j posal In principle I suggest., quite per- j sonally, some amendment shall be pro- j posed by Japan with regards tactical standpoint. All very well to abolish dreadnoughts in the near future to get rid of an offensive organ, but so long as dreadnaughts remain for some ten years or twenty—Japan wants dreadnaughts enough to safeguard herself. Here comes the question of dreadnaughts proportion. Japan wants for her national security the dreadnuught strength of 06 per cent of America's—l am told Navy officers insist 76 per cent—from a pure defensive instinct. In this view Japan’s ten against America's eight een dreadnaughts comes short of my tactical conception. Is this requirement criticised to be a conception of war—preparedness? Nothing is so far from it. I Insist to meet our Nation's requirement ©f safety, the one addition cff the Mutsus which is already completed on Japan's side and reduotio nnf Delaware and North Dakota on the United States aide, together with the British curtailment of King eGorge V, Centurion end “Ajax” will be the better ratio to agree. In doing so. the United States and Lrltain tactically are quite free from any possible attack from Japan, and Japan can *et her mind at ease. This will make the fairest minded constructive proposal, if United States and Britain are broadminded enough to recognize the Japanese aspiration for her national •afety. . Aldo I am confident there must be acme legitimate measure to forbid to replace dreadnaughts, otherwise Japan as a youngest ship builder would suffer when building reopens. I am sure this ■ball be discussed in the committee at length. Lastly let me express my hearty wish that the United States Government will see to it that the advanced naval bases, being clearly offensive Institutes shall cease to exist. One word to conclude this; the best and the safest way of national defense lies not in the size of the navy, but a good faith between nations.— Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK AT LIBRARY Volumes of Fifty Years Ago on Display. The Indianapolis Public Library has prepared for Children’s Book week. Nov, 14-19, a number of exhibits bearing on children's reading, which will be of interest to both parent and child. In the children's room the Thomas Eailey Aldrich bookshelf, a case which any boy can make for himself, is to be displayed. This is the same shelf described in Aldrich's “Story of a Bad Boy,” and directions given, to any child interested in building his own shelf. A display of children’s books of fifty years ago will attract much attention I among adult readers who enjoyed these j books in their youth. Quaint old ptcj ture books.

Very old and rare editions of the first books and primers printed for children will be shown in the delivery rooms of the library. CHOICE OF GOOD IS MASTER KEY TO HAPPINESS (Continued From Page One.) truth in ordinary conversation. That difficulty gradually disappeared as I be- : gan to learn in Christian Science that a right sense of honesty, based upon divine Principle, is a keen detective of dishonest motives; for true honesty is a discerning intelligence. We sometimes speak of that natural discernment as in--1 tuition; for intuition is the expressed in- : telligence of spiritual qualities. That is why so many spiritually minded women so often go directly and unerringly to the very heart of a problem which seems to baffle the more reasoned process of others; and that very directness is often called “a woman's reason.” Thus we learn that spiritual qualities, based upon Principle, give to one a discerning intelligence by which a business man, for example, may know unerringly whether another man is hoDest or dishonest. DEFINITION OF PRINCIPLE. Now the word Principle seems to be greatly misunderstood. In fact the Century Dictionary declares “There are no ; two words in the English language used ! ( so confusedly one for the other us the ; words rule and principle.. .You can make la rule; you cannot make a principle; yoM lean lay down a rule; you cannot properly speaking, lay down a principle.. .You can only declare it. It is a principle i that ’the Sabbath was made for man,’ ” I That is to say, the fourth Commandment of the Mosaic law is an emanation from Principle just as is honesty. That fact was proved to Moses during his forty years in the wilderness. According to the scriptural record, the Children of Israel were fed on the manna which fell from the sky. Each day they could gather a supply sufficient for their daily need and nothing more; but on the sixth day they could gather a supply of bread sufficient for two days, leaving to them the Sabbath day of rest. After that experience had been repeated each week for to: ty years, Moses was absolutely compelled to recognize the fact that the Sabbath day is indeed an emanation from divine Principle. The divine Principle who provided a Sabbath rest from toil is not cold and austere. He is known in Christian Science as the loving Father of us all, possessed of that intelligence which could know the every need of those Children of Israel, and having the ability and purpose to supply that need. It is that larger view of the divine Principle,—the loving Father of us all, —which Christian Science teaches. Mary Baker Eddy, the . Discoverer and Founder of Christian | Science, has written in her book, “Rudimental Divine Science," the answer to the ; question. “What is the Principle of 'Christian Science.” in these words: “It is God. the Supreme Being, infinite and immortal Mind, the Sou! of man and the universe. It is our Father which is in heaven. It is substance. Spirit, Life. Truth, and Lore, —these are the deifle Principle.” When we learn that God is indeed the divine Principle of all honesty, it is impossible for that nature to express its opposite, dishonesty. When we learn that the divine Principle is absolute Love, we also learn that it is impossible for such a narure to manifest its opposite malice or hate. We loam, therefore, that whatever expresses anger, malice, hatred, revenge and so forth, is plainly described in the Bible as Satan, —the very opposite of the true God. DIVIDED KINGDOM CANNOT STAND. Christ Jesus indicated the impossibility of Satan casting out Satan, and he gave as a reason that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. He once spoke of a certain woman who had been bowed together eighteen years “and I could in no wise lift up herself,” as “a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, 10. those eighteen years.” He healed her immediately by the power of God, and it was on the Sabbath day. That experience and many others which Jesus presented prove that it is Satan which he defined as a liar from the beginning, whereby mortals are afflicted with sin, suffering, and torment; and it is the nature and purpose of the only true God to heal men pf those very af- : Dictions. The God of Christendom is, therefore, the divine Principle of our I health, as truly as He is the Principle , of our honesty. - The Christpower which heals and . saves bears the same relation to the diIvine Principle that the rays of the sun bear to the sun itself. Christ Jesus declared himself to be the light of ) world—the same light that at peared in 1 the beginning and is referred to in the first chapter of Genesis in these words; “And God said. Let there be light; and j there was light.” But God, the divine ! Principle, was the creator of that Christi light. Later on that Christ-light was referred to as the coming of “Immanuel,” ; which is interpreted “God with us." for ! the Christ has said, “Before Abraham was, I am,” indicating the eternity and j divinity of the Christ.

man and illuminating human consciousness with the healing and saving power of God. TRUTH HIDDEN DURING DARK AGES. There came a time in the history of the world when the Christ, Truth, apparently disappeared for a while, and that period has been known as the Dark Ages. During that time, nearly all that the people experienced were the visitations of evil, and they suffered so much that they attributed their suffering to God! Then they began to perform rites and ceremonies to appease the wrath of an angry god. Thus they became devotees of that which is wholly unlike Gbd. That kind of worship was continued until a young priest of the church began to read the Bible. He then translated the Bible and made it possible for people of every rank and station to read the Bible in their own tongue. That, was the great reformer, Martin Luther. The study of the Bible which Luther stimulated brought an awakened sense toward the true God, and numerous instances of healing began to be manifested. One very relharkable case of healing was that performed by Luther himself fer his disciple, Melanchthon. Luther evidently had been on a journey, and during his absence Melanchthon was taken ill, —so seriously in fact that he had lost consciousness, his eyes were set, and the Court physician had pronounced him beyond human help. It was then that Luther returned, and when he discovered his dearest friend in that condition, he was visibly frightened. Then, rousing himself, he exclaimed; “O God, how has the devil injured this thy instrument!” Observe the effect of Luther’s Bible study. The correctness of his study of the Bible enabled him to know he never could attribute sickness to God. Rather did he appeal to the Giver of all good to save his friend. To use his own words, “I wearied His ears with all his promises of hearing prayers, which I could repeat out of Holy Writ; so that He could not but hear me. if ever I were tc trust in His promises.” Then grasping Melanchthon by the hand, Luther exclaimed, “Be of good courage, Philipp; thou shalt not. die. . . . He has pleasure in life, not in death. . Therefore, give no place to the spirit of sorrow, and be not thine own murderer." It is interesting to know that such a true sense of God, when applied to hts friend, caused Melanehthon's breath to revive; but he acted very much like a drowning man who begs to be let alone that he mav die in peace. “By no means, Philipp,” cried Luther; “thou must serve our Lord God yet longer." When food was finally brought, Luther burst out with his natural impetuosity. “Thou must eat, or I will excommunicate thee.” It is an interesting fad that Melanchthon responded to the true sense of God, was completely healed, aud lived twenty years longer. . GOD’S GRACE HEALS BODY AND SAVES SOUL. Calvin, Knox, Wesley and other Christian worthies manifested at times wonderful healing power as their study of the Bible opened to their receptive thought the true nature of God. Such qualities of God ns spiritual receptivity, humility, and teachableness communicate the very nature of God to individual human consciousness. Children are natnrally recoptive to spiritual things. an<l it has become a mark of Christian duty to instruct them in the saving grace of God.. It was that same Christian culture which was presented to Mrs. Eddy from her youth by her mother, and also by the Congregational Church, of which she was long a member. Mrs. Eddy was taught to know from her youth that it is the nature and purpose of God to heal the sick as truly as it is to save the sinner. When she was a little girl, and was once taken with a fever, her mother reminded her that God would heal her of that fever if onlv she would turn to Him in prayer. So'the little girl, Mary Baker, diil pray to God fervently aud sincerely, and she was quickly healqd. Manv experiences of healing, attesting Mrs. Eddy's faith in the power of God to heal, attended her walk through iife, anti all those experiences were preparing her, step by step, for the great event which came into her life in the year 1566. On her wav to a temperance meeting, Mrs. Eddv had slipped on the ice, been seriously injured, and found herself suddenly face to face with death. When she finally realized that nothing material could save her, she turned to her Bible for consolation and began to r’ad strlptural passages that relate to the answering of prayer. She finally cams to the record of the healing of the palsied man; and as *he read, she must have glimpsed the same Truth which healed that man tn his day; for action and strength returned to her limbs, the pain ceased, and she rose from her bed and stood on her feet; well. Her faith In the power of God had wrought this immediate transformation, and from that moment Mrs. Eddy resolved that she must looL throngh faith to the very understanding of God's healing power. Mrs Eddv doubtless knew only too well that all those Christian worthies since the early Fathers who had faith enough in God to heal the sick, invariably lost that faith. Even Martin Luther lost his faith, after the wonderful healing of Melanchthon, and went right back to the material methods of the times. Bnt that which one really understands has become a part of hi* own identity, and he can always express that which he really understands. Mrs. Eddy resolved, therefore, to establish her faith in understanding; and when she finally gained that spiritual understanding she became the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. life sketch of MRS. EDDY. It has been my privilege to know Mrs. Eddy personally for about twenty-five years. The healing of my mother marked

the beginning of our interest in Christian Science. For thirteen years my mother had suffered from a condition said by the physicians to be inflammatory rheumatism. It gradually developed, finally distorted her joints and left her a helpless cripple. After that condition had continued for thirteen years the physicians declared that my mother could not live very much longer. Then we were advised to try Christian Science, and after two weeks' . treatment by a Christian Science practitioner, my mother was healed. Her joint* were restored to their normal condition, and she enjoyed perfect health thereafter. Here was a case of healing that could not be explained away. It was just as self-evident to my mother's friends and neighbors as to herself. The promised Comforter was actually revealed, and from that time my father and mother began seriously to study Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy became their teacher, pastor, and friend, and for many years they were closely associated with her in their work. I recall one occasion when Mrs. Eddy spent nearly a week in my father’s home, and I remember her as a gentle, affectionate woman, as much interested in my pets and problems as any member of' the family. Her loving welcome dispelled all fear. Indeed, she was just as normal and natural, and just as human as any friend could-be; but she was always mindful of her great mission to understand more of the spiritual meaning of the Bible, that she mig't. impart to humanity the truths thus . ealed. While, Mrs. Eddy was in our iotne my sister sat down at the organ early one morning, and began to play and sing that old gospel hymn taken from the Psalms, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” My fother joined in the song and they must have sung it with great spirit; for when it was finished, Mrs. Eddy's door opened and she appeared, her face radiant. Then she told us she had continued all night in prayer over some problem, and not until she caught the spirit of that great hymn did she gain the answer to her prayer. It is indeed “the Spirit that qvlckeneth,” that “Spirit of truth” which “will guide you into all truth.” BASIC RI LE OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Possibly the first step in Mrs. Eddy's great discovery came with her ability to detect right within her own thought the difference between the thoughts which come from God and those which proceed from the flesh. St. Paul has expressed this difference briefly and clearly as follies: “To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Those two sources of thinking are just as opposite as God and Satan. In fact all the Satan 'here is may be described as the carnal mind which is sin and death. Such a separation of thought is really the first step in true prayer. Mrs. Eddy has stated in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scripture, that “Desire is prayer.” But it must be a right desire, and who can tell whether his desires are righteous until he learns how to distinguish between those thoughts which come from God and those which proceed from the flesh. Therefore, Mrs. Eddy, in establishing her system, worked from the single viewpoint that “to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Os all the systems of religion or philosophy known to men, none but the teachings of Christ .Tesus and their interpretation in Christian Science have ever consistently held to the single viewpoint that “to be spiritually minded is life und peace." Moreover, they are the only systems known that have ever been able to heal both sickness and sin by a purely spiritual process. Mrs. Eddy has summarized that teaching ip a single sentence in her book, Science and Health; and that sentence is as follows. “Reasoning from cause to effect in tMe Science of Mind, we begin with Mind, which mast be understood through the idea which expresses i( and cannot be learned from its opposite, matter.” This statement is really the basic law of Christian Science. The entire r.vskun of its teachings is expressed in that' sentence. As we behold the sun only through the ray of light which comes out from the suit, so the divine Mind can be understood only through Ills own spiritual idea, just as the idea of honesty reveals the nature of an honest God. CHRIST’S SERMON ON THE MOt NT. Mrs. Eddy has declared In her book, Science and Health, that “the Sermon on the Mount la the essence of this Science." Let us now turn to the Sermon on the Mount to observe very briefly wherein the basic rule of Christian Science conforms to the Beatitudes. After Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, the scripture record Indicates that he was driven into the wilderness and tempted of the devil. The real value of those trials Is expressed In the Book of Hebrews as follows; "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” What a reward Jesus gained by his obedience! He Immediately entered upon his ministry. “teaching In their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of

sickness aud all manner of disease among the people.” From these experiences of healing and teaching, Jesus observed two great facts concerning his ministry; he j saw that few people at first came to hear his preaching; but the multitudes simply thronged him for the hejiling. Then he summarized these two facts with matchless simplicity in the first and second Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. The first group of people, those wno came to hear Mis preaching, Jesus describes in the first Beatitude: “Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven;” that is to say, those who are spiritually blinded and therefore spiritually receptive, can recognize spiritual truths wherever spoken aud the blessing they receive opens to them the very kingdom of heaven. The second grot* of people, those who came to him for the healing, Jesus describes in the second Beatitude: “Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comfortedthat is to say, those who are mourning over their sufferings and torments, as thev turn to the Christ, Truth, for healing, are blessed with such comfort from the Christ healing, that the comfort is us abiding as the kingdom of heaven; that is, the healing is permanent. there is no relapse. But Jesus is not unmindful that those two groups of people are still on probation. It ia like teaching a child how to walk; for the first group of peoplo was led by a preacher; and the second grcfip by a healer; now they must learu to walk alone. They must gain for themselves that spiritual power which heals and saves. The rule is plainly stated in the third Beatitude as follows: “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth;” that is to say, the spiritual power which gives to us dominion over all the earth must be achieved through the divine idea of meekness. It is not gained through brilliancy of intellect nor force of human will, nor through an aggressive personality, but rather through the divine ideas, of humility and meekness, which give dominion over sin, disease and death. BEATITUDES BASIS OF ALL TRUTH. Now the Beatitudes are clear and easy to understand. Then it sho’uld be simple for us all to see that the dominion and power of the divine Mind are revealed to us through the idea of meekness, and that the spiritual idea of receptivity opens to us the very nature of the kingdom of heaven. Thus taken as a whole, ihe spiritual receptivity of the first Beatitude, the divine comfort of the second, and the divine meekness ts the third, as well as the spiritual hunger, mercy, purity of heart, peace-makiug and rejoicing under persecution, expressed in the remaining Beatitudes, are all ideas of God. Such ideas give to tis tho only intelligence we can have of the spiritual or divide Mind, and enable us to be called “the children of God." 'Here is the complete verification of Mrs. Eddy b rule of logic. "Reasoning from cause to effect in the Science of Mind, we begin with Sllnd, which must be understood through the idea which expresses it and cannot be learned from its opposite, matter.” Asa matter of practical application, let ns ask ourselves, "To which group do we belong.” Axe we spiritually minded enough to recognize spiritual truth wherever spoken, and thus bo classed lu the first group? or have wo been compelled through suffering to seek the Christ healing, and thus be placed in the second group? Mrs. Eddy says, "Truth is won through Science or suffering." And if we have passed through one or the other of these two groups, are we meek and grateful enough to learu patiently how to reflect that divine power which enables us to overcome sin, disease and death ? LESSONS IN RECEPTIVITY. It is sometimes charged that Chrlslfinn Scientists make altogether too much of the healing ministry of this Science, but the critics should rememter the lesson of the Sermon on the Mount, thut only two groups of thinkers are rcaly for the kingdom, and that by fhr the larger group is reuched only through healing. The lessons on receptivity taught by the Beatitudes are reiterated in the Ramble of the Great Supper. When the invitations to the feast were given out, you may remember, according to tho record, that all those invited made excuses. One had purchased some land, another oxen, and so on, and they all begged to be excused. They were so Immersed in material considerations that they failed to recognize tho Invitation as a divine call. So the invitations were next Issued to the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind,—to those who were mourning over their sufferings. But still there was room at the feast, indicating that not even human snffcrlng had alienated their faith from matter sufficiently to turn them all to God. The Christian Scientist hus learned the great lesson, therefore, that inasmuch as only two groups of people, those willing to listen and those will-

ing to be healed, are at present ready for the ministrations of Christian Science, be should confine his efforts to the mem-, hers of those two groups. MRS. EDDY AN INTERPRETER OF SCRIPTURE. Mrs. Eddy has written in her book, Science and Health, the explanation of Ihe truths in the Bible so clearly and simply that, as one reads understandmxly, he can express the fruit of that understanding in healing himself and others. Let us then consider the answer to the question, “Just how does Christian Science heal?” We may find our answer in the first chapter of Genesis, which speaks of the seed that is in itself. That is to say, the healing power is in the Truth itself. "It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measure of meal, till the whole was How, then, shall we approach the Truth ‘ whose seed is in itself" and lay hold of its healing power? Spiritual Truth cannot be gained intellectually, There is no such thing as Intellectual goodness nor intellectual honesty. Really to understand the spiritual qualities of goodness and honesty they must be lived and from the heart, not the head. That Truth “who** seed is in itself" must be approached, therefore, only through the spiritual understanding, and what we really understand we can express in our lives. As we read Science and Health and begin to assimilate its meaning, even to a degree, we are bound to express the nature of its truths in purity, health, and loving kindness. The last chapter in Science and Health contains one hundred pages of testimonials by those who have been healed of organic and functional diseases simply by reading this book, and conforming their lives to Its teachings. The fact that people have been healed of cancers, tumors, consumption, the drug habit, and so on, simply by reading a book and gaining its spiritual import, should be a most convincing proof that it is not the human will nor the carnal mind which does the healing; but to be spiritually minded means in and of itself life and health and peace. SUFFERING BELONGS TO THE CARNAL MIND. A suffering sense is plainly the product of the carnal mind; for to be carnally minded is sin, disease and death. When, therefore, St. Paul was looking from the viewpoint of the carnal mind, and everything was colored by its gloom, he exclaimed, “The good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” Some centuries earlier, when Job was once looking out from the same viewpoint, he used almost the same words: “When I looked for good, then evil came unto me; and when I waited for light, there came darkness.” That mental darkness which thinks of God as afar off, is none other than the product of the carnal mind. As Job emerged from that mental gloom into the light cf spiritual vision, he exclaimed, “Yet la ruy flesh shall I see God,” and agalu “For I know that my Redeemer liveth!” When finally St. Paul gained his victory over the carnal mind, Tie declared, “Th* law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of slq and death,” and free to do the will of infinite Good. Thus Paul recognized th* supremacy of good over evil. Then he could truthfully say, “The good that I would that I do: and the evil which I would not, that I do not." That phase of the carnal mind which would cause one to do evil, when hit real purpose is to do good, is defined by our dictionaries as “animal magnetism.”

BH v APORATEP burewith the keeps cream Il’CSll left

The occultism of animal magnetism was employed by the magicians and sorcerers to oppose the works of Moses and Jesus, the prophets and apostles, for the children of darkness naturally oppose the children of light. The modem expressions of animal magnetism are known as mesmerism, hypnotism, spiritualism, theosophy and such like. These systems all employ some form of vibratory suggestion, or transmission Os thought, which Is the product of the carnal mind, denominated by St. Paul as sin and death. The reason why the carnal mind employs suggestion is because it is a Unity, that is a finite belief of mind, limited to the space of a human brain. Hence the necessity of its being transmitted or projected through suggestion. The spiritual or divine Mind, on the other hand, never operates through suggestion. The divine Mind, being infinite, is already everywhere, and operates through divine law. That why Jesus could heal the sick and the sinning even when they were absent from him, as in the cases of the Centurion’s servant and the Syrophenician’s daughter. He knew that the divine Mind being everywhere, must be right where the suffering invalid most needed help. He understood just as thoughly that the nature of that Presence Is all health, purity,, life and salvation, and that these qualities belong by divine right to every child of God. What Jesus did, therefore, was simply to understand that which is eternally true concerning God and man’s inseparable relation to Him. It is the Truth that makes us free. Let us now cite a concrete example oi how Jesus healed a case of animal magnetism. He called the influence of animal magnetism “Satan.” When Jesus observed, Jugt before the crucifixion, that his disciple, Peter, was coming under the domination of animal magnetism which was influencing him to evil when his nature and purpose were to do good, Jesus gave him a sharp Warning. “Simon. Simon,” said Jesus, “Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that the faith fall not.” In addition to warning Peter, the Master did just one thing. He did not ignore the condition, nor did he pray that the experience should pass from Peter; rather did he pray that the faith which he himself had fostered in his disciple should not fail. Jesus knew that only the faith which is founded in understanding, and is born of God, can withstand the wiles of Satan. TO BE SPIRITUALLY IS ETERNAL LIFE. We are grateful to learn that Jesus did succeed in establishing Peter’s faith so that it was never again shaken. Peter obeyed the commands of his Master so fully that he could heal the sick and even raise the dead, because his faith had

reached to spiritual understanding. Every department of learning must be entered through faith. Edison. Marconi and the Wright brothers needed great faith even to seek for the laws they later discovered. Bnt the laws governing aeroplanes and wireless telegraphy had to be understood before they could be made practical. So the law of God must be understood and not merely believed, in to heal the sick and same the sinner. Where is this understanding to be found? Job has said, “There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” Just as we behold the sun through its ray, so must we learn of God through the faith and understanding which He bestows. We must learn to think His thought* after Him in order to reflect His nature. The rule of logic in Christian Scienes teaches us that we must always reason from God to man, from cause to effect. When the Christian Scientist willingly and lovingly obeys the truth he gleans from reading Science and Health, his nature is gradually transformed. His willingness to discipline himself makes him more teachable, loving and lawabiding, and his spiritual intuitions grow keener. The obedient student naturally releases his hold? on things outgrown, such as faults of disposition and sinful indulgence, and he learns to protect himself not only from temptation of evil, but from temptations of disease. The fruitage of Christian Science results from obedience to divine Caw. In fact, if God’s law were to be withdrawn for an instant, the universe would collnpse and man would be annihilated. Obedience to divine Law is therefore essential to man's existence. The Christian Scientist learns to obey law, not because he is compelled to do so, but because he loves to do right. Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” When one loves to do right, he will naturally obey the teachings of Christ Jesus and their interpretation in Christian Science. He will obey lovingly the commandments left for our guidance: for as Mrs. Eddy has said in our Church Manual, “Without a proper system ei government and form of action, nations, individuals, and religion are unprotected.” When one is truly obedient to divine* Law, he is at peace. He has gained that spiritual mindedness which means life and peace. This state of mind is not only a foretaste of heavenly harmony, it is heaven at hand ; for Jesus declared- “ The kingdom of Cod is within right within that consciousness which recognizes divine Truth. It is that liberating, life-giving Truth, described by .Tesus as the promised Comforter, which Christian Science brings to all mankind.
