Christian Science does not propose that reality shall be either ignored or ·changed. On the contrary its entire and only effort is to bring to light the actual nature and character of all things. Christian Science concurs in the Scriptural assurance that "whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever," that "nothing can be put to it, nor any thi!1g taken from it." As defined by 1ts Discovered and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, on page 585 of her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Chris~ian Science is that "with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold." The reality which is reflected all about us is misinterpreted by the physical senses. What is needed is not to disregard, or to alter reality but so to correct the sense of things that the fact rather than the error shall be revealed. Christian Science accomplishes this correction through prayer, through spiritualization of thought, through the cultivation of a state of mind that rejects false physical sense testimony and accepts th e spiritual truth. Jesus frequently said that his st'nse of thing was different from that of materially minded persons. This is especially noticeable in connection with his healing work . Being spirituallv minded. he sa\v the ten lepers as clean, ready to show themsel\'es to the priest. He saw the paralytic hy Bethesda pool as able to "arise and walk." No question appears to have occurred to him as to whether the two blind men could see; they were questioned only as to their belief. To him Lazarus and the da~ghter of J airus were not dead but asleep. His statements on these and other like occasions show that he was ~on~cious of the fact that through hi~ nnm ~ culate spiritu~l understanding the ph>'stcal sense evtdence of evil \\'as be111g reversed and cast out. Such was Vote The Peoples Party Ticket STRAIGHT TUESDAY, APRIL 16 A Croaa in the Circle Will Do It Jesus knew that the kingdom of heaven was "at hand," that it was a ~tate of mind, and that one could be "in~tructed into" it, as he said. The Chri~:;tian Scientist, a follow e l' or the Master, strives for that purity of heart which sees God, good, when~ impure material sense, impure because mate rial, believes it sees that which is unlike good. In the degree that h e s ucceeds in ~Spiritualizing his thought h e finds that this activity is fruitful of h ealth an<l :)ther abundances. When Jesus declared, "She is not dead!" it is recorded that "they laughed him to scorn," as doubtless they did al!;o when he uttered other denials of the !:localled evidence of evil. The beginner in Christian Scie nce may find something· i11 his heart ridiculing his d enial of phy~ical sense testimony. But let him persist in his effort. to affirm the truth and rejeet the error, as a matter of systematk m en tal practice, and he will surely f ee l the invigorating effect of the n::' atlju~t m ent of his thoughtR to ('onformity with the divine nature. Jesus verified the proph C'cy of ls ·tiah that he should not judge according· tu "the sight of his eyes" or ··the h ea l'iug,,f his ears," according to the matel"ial ~ense verdict.
