CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,| b kbl ; {Continued from Page Six) .’ ‘practical test, let the one who turns to | Christian Science under the stress.of 'a particular problem ask . Rimself, What do 1 think of it? Man is ‘a thinking being, and what he thinks de- rmines not only his mental and mor- ‘condition, but also his physical eon-~ dition as well. Is he turning to Chris- tian Science for physical healing, for spiritual consolation, - for release from any one of the slavéries to which hu- manity can become subject? him look tohis thinking. know. the trtth and the truth will make him free. The truth will tell him what is true, real, and essential about. his .condition,- and- what is untrue, unreal, and S\lpetflfll Christian Be(enee, ‘as the special voice of truth to this ‘age. reveals to humanity the law of God. which insures harmony when it 'is obeved. Man being a thinking being there must be mental acquiescence on his part before he can be afflicted with evil. It s part of the practical work . of Christian Science to teach manxtna how to guard against the admission of ‘evil, or if it has once been admitted, how to reject it with truth, and than be free from it Law of Inheritance. s The mistaken enneept of God as. the ereator of évil maturally leads to the supposition that He is also the author of evil-producing laws. Among such: laws none is more dreaded. than the alt gether unnatural one styling it- the Jaw of heredity. It is a wel- ‘ccme sign of the times that at present public opinion lays stress upon tnis supposed law than it did a few vears ago. -~ Ancestry i8 not so much used as a scapegoat as it -was, yet still the silent, the seemingly mysterious, and from the point of view of scientific Chrigtianity wholly unfounded law of heredity still harasses humanity into mental, moral, and physical ailments ‘of one kind or another and paves the way for so-called incurable conditions. ‘We read the eighteenth chapter of ’Bzekiel that God rebuked the use of the common saying, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’” The teaching of Christian Science on this subject is set forth in its text-book 'in ‘the words: “In' Science man is the off- spring of Spirit. The beautiful, good, and pure constitute his ancestry” (p. 68)...The belief in hereditary law wonld establish the doctrine that all things take place by inevitable neces- 'sity, that man has no control over his own fate, even through resort to a her power, since such law . wonld be fixed by that higher power. and it would not be reasonable to expect’God to-reserve His own decisions. < But the -application of the test of ity provided by Christian Science cl ly - shows that no law of evil can be di- vine. Man’s only inheritance is the inher- itance of good. . If the so-called law of [ inheritance, productive of sin and sick- ness, was real, it wonld have to-re- semble “God and His idea;” it would ‘have to partake of the divine nature. But sin and sickness are unlike “God and His idea;” therefore no laiw pro- ductive of sin ang sickness could by any stretch of reasoning proceed from God and thus become necessary, in- evitable, or inescapable. The so-called law of evil inheritance can be broken lflth impunity, because it is not a law all, but only a pretense of a law. As a belief it is altogether unlawful, illegitimate, abnormal, untrue, non- essential, and unreal. Ennobles Legitimate Occupations. Christian Science also enables hu- manity to ennoble its legitimate occu- pations, {o take them cut of mere mat-. ter and put them into mind. and then to bring. the law and procedure of the divine mind to bear upon them, in order to bless and prosper alt their right undertakings. Through the practice of Christian Science it is pos- sible to be about the Father's business while pursuing daily g&llons. to reach their divine qualities. mitigates any sense of drudgery nected with.our ordinary tasks, catse of the good ~ualities inseparabil: connoeted with their right performancs.
