Only Effect Of Christian Science We have observed that before prayer can become effectual it must be altogether unselfish, honest, and I sincere. "Blesed are the pure in heart for they shall see God," were the words of him who came declaring the way of salvation from all evil. # Self- ish desire, whether inspired#by ignor- ance or evil intent, can avail nothing. Human thought must become recon- ciled to the divine will before it can apprehend the -unseen verities of har- monious being and realize that what blesses one becomes a blessing to an The only effect of Christian Science is to purify thought and "nder it submissive to the will of God. If tne effect seems otherwise it is either be- cause Christian Science is not under- stood or the student knowingly turns from its teachings. If one is living in the consciousness that God is Love, the desire of the heart can no possibly injure another.

The wise man is willing to suffer if this is necessary to his de- liverance. Sin is forgiven when the ?e8ire £2 Sln is destroyed and not be- fore. The destruction of sin is a present salvation from sin. Baptism The question of baptism is closely associated with the forgiveness of sin< in the teachings of the various re- ligious denominations and because it is a religious ceremony it has oc- casioned not a little controversy. The conclusion that baptism is essential to salvation is based on these words of Jesus, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." It seems to be the generally accepted conclusion that Jesus here referred to water baptism, inasmuch as he was baptized by John, and the contro- versy has been occasioned by a dif- ference of opinion upon "what mode of water baptism meets the divine re- quirements. John the Baptist said concerning his baptism, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is migthier than I,... he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." It is impossible to interpret these words of John literally, or materially, and so it is conceded that they must have a spiritual signification. Is it unreason- able to conclude that it was this bap? tism, the baptism of the Holy Ghost and of fire, to which Jesus referred in the words just quoted? Spiritual baptism is the one thing needful. If water baptism is accepted as a relig- ious sacrament it must be admitted that it is but the outward symbol of that spiritual baptism which is, es- sential to salvation. Paul declared there is "one Lord, one faith, one baptism," and a careful study of the apostle's writings shows that he re- fers to spiritual baptism. Christian Science departs so far as possible from all material observances, and so the baptism rccognized-inâ€"the Church of Christ, Scientist, is spiritual baptism. When we have this understanding of the word "baptism," the observance of a material rite is no longer necessary. Atonement The doctrine of atonement, as well as the -question of baptism and the forgiveness of sin, has ever been a perplexing theological problem. It is generally considered that the atone- ment means a reconciliation between man and God who had become estranged by reason of man's dis- obedience. The Scriptures declare that Jesus is the mediator between God and men. Human philosophy has in- terpreted this to mean that Jesus' life of labor and sacrifice effected a re- conciliation between God and man and tnereby it became possible for all who accept him to be their Saviour to escape"the consequences of sin. It is believed by some persons that because of Jesus' sacrifice God is will- ing to pardon repentant mortals and receive them again into His presence. This seems to imply that because of man's offense God had become less than infinite, eternal, and unchaneing Love and it required the sufferings of the cross before He was willing for whole work of reformation is to estab- lish man's unity with God and his ab- solute freedom from all evil. Man made in the divine image and like- ness, has never been separated from man is an idolater even though he may not have set up in his house an image of wood or stone. He believes in a power apart from God; he be ness, has never been separated from lieves in the reality of that which his heavenly Father. It is mortal mam, cannot have proceeded from God, and which is separated from the harmony â€" u- **-- â€"â€" **»-- -â€" â€"â€"**- of real being and pays the penalty for the reflection of God-the reflection of Love. Life, and Truth - will be demonstrated. Forgiveness Of Sin One of the beneficial effects of pray- er is the overcoming of sinful desires. It is held by all believers in the Christian religion that the forgiveness of sin is essential to salvation and that praver is the only means by which this desired end can be attained. We are sometirrtes asked. What does' Chm- trart Science teach concerning tne tor- eiveness of sin? The overcoming^ ^irr-rs-tTie greatest work to /be ac- Sin IS tne grcaicai w»» - -», .. comolished for humanity and in tnis work Christian Science is most suc- cessful. It succeeds where other teachings have failed. It is believed by many that the tor- jriveness of sin means the remission of the penalty due to wrong doing, but this is not in accord jvith tne cachings of Holy Writ. The law of God is clearlv set forth in these words of Paul. "Whatsoever a man^-sowetn that shall he also reap." Th« law can not be set aside or rendered ot nonf effect. The inevitable result of sin is suffering and there is no way ot escape. What, then, constitutes tne forei.eness of sin according to tne t^chinps of Christian Science? Even the destruction of the desire to sin, there can be no otner forgiveness. The desire to sin is an erroneous pe- Hef of the carnal mind, even the be- l»ef *hat it is possible to gain some- thin- or to find pleasure in wrong jjmng. Mortals must be saved from this delusion or thev will never escaoe the Vuffering which sin Prodqcc.s'^° loh? is the sinful desire remains »l must bring suffering, for mortals are punished by their sins. The effectual forgiveness of sin, the forgiveness which the truly repentant sinner, de- sires, is the destruction of sinful thoughts. If the sinner wishes merely to escape the suffering he has brought | wfc<fom.w quences of sin According to Christian Science God U divine Principle and changes not. Nothing that mortal man can say or do can change God. Principle is per- fect and nothing can add to perfec- tion. It follows, then, that if man is separated from God by reason of his own wrong doing, the only possible remedy is for him to forsake his evil ways and unrighteous thoughts. To enable mortals to do this was the pur- pose of Jesus' mission. Instead of seeking to appease the wrath of God. he labored to teach mortals the utter upon himself he is not trulv repent- _awL falsity of evil which bad blinded them to the fact that God is Love. The second chanter of the Christian Science text-book is devoted prin- cipally to the consideration or the atonement. On pages 18 and 19 we read; "Atonement is the exemplifica- tion of man's unity with god.Jwfje- hv man reflects divine Truth, Lite, and Love. Jesus of Nazareth taught and demonstrated man's oneness with the Fatner, and for this we owe him endless homage. His mission was both individual and collective. He did life's work aricrht not only in justice to himself, but in mercy to mortals â€"to show them how to do theirs, but not to do it for them nor to relieve them of a single resnonsibilty . . â-  "The atonement of Christ reconciles man to God. not God to man: for the rlivine Princiole of Christ is God and how can God pronitiate Himself? "Every pang of repentance and suf- fering, everv effort for reform, every <rnod thought and d«"»d, will help ^us sin. Mortals must forsake the false sense of existence if they would es- cape from evil and gain the harmony and perfection of spiritual being. Healing We have considered briefly the sub- jects of prayer, the forgiveness of sin, baptism, and the atonement. The inevitable result of these, as under- stood in Christian Science, is healing, physical and moral. We have ob- served that prayer is the means by which man avails himself of that good which God has alrealy bestowed. True prayer results in the destruction of sinful desires and this constitutes the forgiveness of sin. When the desire to sin is destroyed, thought is puri- fiedâ€"purged of mortal and material beliefs,â€"and this is the true bap- tism. Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Purity of thought enables man to realize his oneness with God and this is the significance of the atonement. The atonement means physical and moral healing. In the destruction of sin and the healing of sickness, man's inseparable unity with God is exem- plified . Thus the errors of mortal ex- istence are atoned for and humanity escapes the suffering which sin pro- duces; not because the penalty due to wrong doing has been remitted, but because the love of sin no longer re- mains to bring suffering. _ Christian Science can heal the sick only by removing that which causes sickness. It can save from suffering only by destroying the false sense which produces suffering. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," is., the law of eternal mercy and justice. The destruction of the soul, or sense, which sins is not the destruction of man: rather is it the resurrection of man to the true sense-of life and being. Man loses nothing through this de- struction, on the contrary he gains the consciousness of existence which is forever harmonious and # eternal. When the science of being is under- stood it will be seen that disease and sin are no part Of man's real being. They are the dark clouds of material- ism which shut out the light of Truth and Love. The dawning of the light reveals the day of salvation here and now, wherein man is saved from all that is unlike God. Jesus said, "Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up;" in other words, every thought which proceeds not from God, good shall be destroyed through spiritual understanding. Did the thought of sin. disease, or suffer- ing originate with God? Surely no one believes that it did. Here we have scriptural authority for saying that it is God's will that disease, and all bodily infirmities, be utterly destroy- ed. According to the teachings of Jesus it is possible to overcome all evil with the understanding of God s om- nipotence. Wrong Thinking If one doubts the power of Truth to heal the sick, he will not expect his prayers to avail in the time of phy- sical distress. However much faith he may have in God in other directions, his lack of faith in this respect is the error which deprives him of the good he might otherwise experience. Isaiah said "The Lord's hand is not short- ened that it can not save, nor his car heavy that it can not hear; but your iniouities have separated between you and your God." Errors of thought, ignorantly entertained, prevent the recognition of God's ever-presence. Tesus demonstrated the powcr.of Truth and Love to destroy all the works of evil, and thus he proved so he has more than one creator. Whatever prevents the recognition of God to be the only power, cause, and creator is sin and constitutes wrong thinking. Jesus drew the line very sharply between Truth and error, good and evil, right and wrong. When his words are comprehended aright, i. e., when their -spiritual import is discerned, it is understood that he taught how to overcome all evil and how to gain all good. He showed very clearly that mere profession counts for nought. It is what a man does that reveals what he really believes. It is impos- sible to separate right thinking from right doing. _ The Wise Builder Jesus concluded his Sermon on the Mount by illustrating the great dif- ference between those who hear and obey and those who hear but fail to obey. The former he likened to a man who built his house on a rock, and it stood even though the fury of the elements was turned against it. Those who hear and yet fail to put into practice what they hear, he com- , pared to the foolish man who builds j on the sand. Because it has no foundation his house falls when the rain descends and the winds blow. All that is built on the belief of a power, cause, or creator apart^from God, is built on the sand and it will fall. It S may stand for a time but its ultimate destruction is inevitable. A house built on the sand may be as attrac- tive as one built on a rock and for a while it may answer the purpose fully as well, but there comes a time when the great difference between the two is manifest. In the same manner the difference between Truth and error is ultimately revealed. The conclusion reached by Mrs. Eddy and expressed in these words, "Therf U "ft life, truths intelligence, Eddy is supported by the words and works of Jesus. His words have been read for centuries and his works havt been accepted as demonstrations of divine power, but the universal appli- cation of his teachings has been im- possible because the vital importance of his works was not realized. Chris- tian Science has given the correct interpretation of the Master's teach* ings and all who understand his doc* trine are able to demonstrate the power of Truth to heal the sick, com* fort the sorrowing, reform the sin* ner, and set at liberty them that arc bound by the illusion of a power apart from God. Christian Science helps men to understand what the great Teacher meant when he said, "It it the spirit that quickeneth; . . . the words that I speak unto you, they arc spirit, and they are life."

If it be God's will for men to be sav- ed from sin, and this is the firrn con- viction of every believer inMie <-«"«* tian religion, it must be His will for men to, be delivered from the effects of sin. The term sin means more than is included in the generally accepted meaning of the word. Paul declared that "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" This is another way of saying that faith, or spiritual understanding, includes all that is real. It follows that all wrong thinking and all wrong doing, whether ignorant or intention- al, is included in the term sin in its broader signification. Tejcing, then, this broader view bLsinL_and it must have been in-this-sense-that Isaiah said, "Your iniquities have separated between you and your God. we see that sin. -or wrong thinking, is the cause of all discord and suffering. When this conclusion is reached it is nor substance in Inatter," (Science^ and Health, p. 468), shows how mor- tals do build on the sand though they- know it not. Previous to Mrs. Eddy s discovery of Christian Science even Christian people had not thought it unchristian or unscientific to believe there is life, intelligence, substance, and truth in matter; on the contrary they thought they had scriptural authority for accepting material «en9e testimony in this connection. Take away this fundamental error of mortal belief and what would occasion the indulgence of sinful thoughts, or what would be the foundation of disease and suffering? The words of Mrs. Eddy just quot- ed agree with that remarkable utter- ance of the Master so little under- stood. "The flesh profiteth nothing."
