Destiny is what God has in store for man. That fate alone awaits each of us, a· fate inexorable but benign. There is no evil destiny. ·"Fear not, little flock: for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." To do what God has for us to do, to receive what God has for us to receive- that is evolu, tion. Such is man's free moral agency. True progres s is the attainment and maintenance of man's · reflected · dominion over all. Man's obedience to divine power and wisdom is his reflection of that power and " ·isdom. ~Ian knows he ha s bY reflection God' s do minion over the ·spiritual '"'ork s o f Hi-. hands and al so over the material counterfeit s of th ose work s. ~~" friend, a ssume that dominio n.

The will to do right is a defiance of human will. Out o f temptation overcome, not yielded to, come s spiritual strength. After the victoriou s argument J csu s had in the wilderne ss '"ith personal sense he "returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about." .The fame of Jesu s was based upon his spiritual p0wer to heal .the sick and the sinning and to comfort the sorrowing. My friend, would you, too, be strong in spiritual might? Would you be more useful to suffering· humanity? Then wrestle with the arguments of error and prevail through reliance upon Christ, spiritual Truth. A Christian is no stronger than at this point of contact. with the world. Also he is no more useful than at that point. There is neither isc;>lation nor segregation in Christian Science. In obedience to Christ's command Christian Scientists literally go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Oh! blest assurance that ·'shod with the preparation of the gospel" we may tread our way along the whole of the road with feet unswollen. Christ's healing and saving virtue will go out to whomsoever touches Truth's ~arment on life's highway. Shall not Christians be always so clothed and available? W ~ cannot let the rest of the world go by. Every Hour .. Every hour there's a fast North Shore Line train to Milwaukee.
