means of unanswerable logic, tha true

Basis of Christian 6cienc* Practice.
That human thought baa not always
been correct In foundation la self-evi
dent when we remember that there are
many contradictory opinions and be
llefa concerning Ood. some of them un.
reasonable, unnatural and even gro
tesque. If tha right Idea la to be
gained, wrong beliefs must be put aside.
Christian Science gives definitions of
Ood which are found to be universally
acceptable and satisfying to human
reason. It declares that Ood, as Cause
and Creator, must be Infinite Intelli
gence, and It makes thin fact clear to
us and available through the uae of
the word Mind aa a synonym for the
word Ood. It declares that Ood la Mind
and that Mind It Ood. It never con
fuses the use of the word Mind In Ibis
relationship, however, with what Is or
dinarily called a mortal's mind, sup
posedly dependent upon matter or
brain for Intelligence, but on the con
trary, uses It always In the divine
sense. The thought of God aa hu
manly personal haa made Hit omni
presence seem Impossible, but when we
understand that He la Mind, Hla omni
presence Is natural, reasonable, anfi
real to ua. In fact, II Is clear that this

istence. Chrlatlan Science therefore,

la Infinitely good. He also provides for
evil, a belief which It mere or leee
promulgated by acbdUStto theology,
and such persona have therefore often
considered themselves to be oulalOe of
the pale of rehglon. Yet one never en
counters such a person without finding
that ho will cheerfully admit hla belief
In good. Although declaring perhaps
that he knows nothing of Ood, because
of the association ofthern old material
epta with that word, he vrtll say
that he knows something of good—
that he kqowi It to exist and that he
strives continually to manifest It. This
shows conclusively that he knows
something of Ood. for God Is good, and
Infinite good la God, and to know any-
tlflc basts for religion, takes away the
old personal thought concerning God
and establishes a better one. Suppose
oith. who thinks that God la personal In
the same sense that human beings are
should possess the skill t« depict hla
thought upon canvas nr paper, and
were to du ao. Ami then suppose that
he were to kneel down and pray to
that picture. The act would seem ab
surd to every one who might behold
It. The comment would he. "Why.
what Is the use of doing thnt? That
picture Isn't God. It can't answer
prayer nor do anything else." After
all. Is the situation changed when one
not possessing the ability to outline a
picture of a person, still continues tn
think of that picture and prays to that
mental Image? A mental Image la no
more God than la a material pk-tura.
and It la no wonder that humanity's
prayers have not generally been an
swered—prayers uttered to a mental
Image.
Christian Science shows that the per
sonality of God la Infinite and can not
be depicted or outlined by any human
being, nor are wo losing anything In
changing our thought upon this point,
but rather gaining everything. One
who feels that he doesn’t know how to
pray because he learns that this mental
Image la not Ood. should remember that
he supposed that It was, and that he
ran lose nothing, either In relation lo
praver or to Ood. by getting rid of a
false belief concerning both. Further

Science also shows that to regard G td
aa changeable or variable haa tended to
asperate ua from Him. and has nulli

Invariable, and constant nature of God
—shows that He la good always, and
never known anything unlike Himself.
It uses a word to broaden, amplify,
and -uplift our thought, and that word

terchangeably with Ood. This neces

used In Christian Science aa a sub

These words and others used In Chris
tian Science are Intended lo help mor

perience. Yet he Is forced to admit
that to acknowledge God aa the sole
Cause and Creator la to conclude that
there te only one power, Ood. Good, and
that to admit any other la to break the
first commandment. Christian Bclenco
reconciles tbe average chrlatlan to
theee etatmeota and others which be
has said he believed and enables him
to actually believe them- It shows that
the first commandment, ever declaring
tha one God, declares tha one way of
science. It dearly shows that,
though human experience is at
riance with the truth of absolute
science, which has been briefiy and. I
confess. Inadequately atated hers, yet
auch experience but reveals tbe need
of science. Moreover. Christian Brieare
gives him the logical and Irrefutable
facts of being, teaches him the science
of Truth, the aclence of Life, and
thua enables him to face human diffi
culties fearlessly and remove them Just
tn proportion to Ills understanding of
that science. The tendency with a be-
glnner, however, ta often to utterly
misconstrue the teaching of Christian
Science upon this point and to misjudge
It In consequence. He I* apt to say,
"How absurd! These Christian Scien
tists any that all la good." And we
agree with him that each a construc
tion placed upon Chrietlan Science
teaching would make oae consider It
absurd. The construction, however, ta
erroneous. Christian Science la no
ayatem of superficial optimism. It de
clares the aclence of Life or Being and
shows lie availability to man through
right understanding and correct prac
tice. It declares God le good and that
In and of Him Is no evil at all, but It

Jesus never said that Christ would

words aa these, “Before Abraham was,
