wer, and glory.
Christian Science does this. If Science lacked the proof of its origin in
God, it would be self-destructive, for it rests alone on the demonstration
of God's supremacy and omnipotence. Right thinking and right acting,
physical and moral harmony, come with Science, and the secret of its
presence lies in the universal need of better health and morals.

Human theories, when weighed in the balance, are found unequal to the
demonstration of divine Life and Love; and their highest endeavors are, to
divine Science, what a child's love of pictures is to art. A child, in his
ignorance, may imagine the face of Dante to be the rapt face of Jesus. Thus
falsely may the human conceive of the Divine. If the schoolmaster is not
Christ, the school gets things wrong, and knows it not; but the teacher is
morally responsible.

Good health and a more spiritual religion are the common wants; and these
wants have wrought this moral result,--that the so-called mortal mind asks
for what Mind alone can supply. This demand militates against the so-called
demands of matter, and regulates the present high premium on Mind-healing.
If the uniform moral and spiritual, as well as physical, effects of
Christian Science were lacking, the premium would go down. That it
continues to rise, and the demand to increase, shows its real value to the
race. Even doctors will agree that infidelity, ignorance, and quackery have
never met the growing wants of humanity. Christian Science is no "Boston
craze;" it is the sober second thought of advancing humanity.

IS THERE A PERSONAL DEITY?

God is infinite. He is neither a limited mind nor a limited body. God is
Love; and Love is Principle, not person. What the person of the infinite
is, we know not; but we are gratefully and lovingly conscious of the
fatherliness of this Supreme Being. God is individual, and man is His
individualized idea. While material man and the physical senses receive no
spiritual idea, and feel no sensation of divine Love, spiritual man and his
spiritual senses are drinking in the nature and essence of the individual
infinite. A sinful sense is incompetent to understand the realities of
being,--that Life is God, and that man is in His image and likeness. A
sinner can take no cognizance of the noumenon or the phenomena of Spirit;
but leaving sin, sense rises to the fulness of the stature of man in
Christ.

Person is formed after the manner of mortal man, so far as he
