CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ~ongress and Exposition of the AmerThere must be an appreciation of the Ican Road Builders assoc1at1on of fact that creation, as God's idea, is which the late E. L. Powers was secrecontinually appearing, before Christian tary and director for many years. Science can be thoroughly understood as the immutable, divine laws of God. \Vhen so apprehended perfection and harmony will be observed as insep- : arably interwoven in every part there- ! of. The scriptural account of creation as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis re,·eals a spiritual unfoldment, and closes with the signal and significant statement: "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was ,·ery good." (Genesis 1 :31.) Herein the basic truth is stated clearly and distinctly: That God made all, and made it very good. Since He made everything "very good," so it follows that "good" is the essence · of every creative act because God is good. Hence, that which is not good was not created. And. as creation is finished, it follows that that which is not good never can he created. This vision of God's creation will appear to the earnest thinker and it will dispel the fear and mvstification due to a material sense of things. In the fullness of time St. ] olm's statement will become fully apparent: "All things were made by him: and without him was not anything 1 · made that was made." (John 1 :13.) The glorious spiritual facts of crea1ion are provabl~ to the sincere and earnest follower of Christian Science. 1'he l\J ocl us Can diYine law be unders t ood and applied'! The answer il'; positi\·e an<l direct, "Yes." Its application is prove n by ln(Ji\·idual <l e m11ns tration. A fe w ohsenat in ns may serve as hl:lpful way_ -marks to indic:-~te the m odus in the right direction. God's c.ompletPncs!'i must be assumerl ancl acknowledg·cd as the standard of perfC'c-ti(Jn at all times. Ti e must b P unde rstood as divine Mind, or Spidt and must he regarded as the Rource of all that really exif;tS. This r ecog-nition nf God ·will liberate ::tnd will e nlarge the indi- · Yidual's capacity to und e rstand and express Mind. Th e inrli\"idual is thinl;;in g: rightly to the extent that he holtls hi ~ thoughts in line with the divine onlt>l'. This right mental action is affinnatin· nroof that the spiritual man is unfoldin~ as the image of good in his consC'iousness . I !'iuspect that from the earliest dawn of time all mortals have been concerned and confused regarding th e adYent of sin and disease in the experi0nces of man'kinrl . By applying the scriptural account in G~e nesis to this state of mind, the confu s ion ::;houlcl be disnelled. For w e c>('rtain~ will all agree that sin and disease nre not states or ~tag-es of good; n nd not being: "good," were ·never creatNl. But how are they to be accounted for? The wisdom of Solomon has giYen us a ra-. tional key to the solution. H~ said: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is h e. ·· (Proverbs 23 :7.) There is an nccepted rule, that like produces like. Now Solomon's statem0nt will justify the conclusion that in th e absence of restraining influences, sinful thoug:hts will result in overt sinful aC't~ . His saying also established the fact that the material body of the man is not the offender, the culprit. The bQdY is only the convenient avenue or channel for expressing the behests of the sinful nncl depraved mortal mind. Mort::tl mincl is always the offender that deserves punishment. A sig-nificant fad, worthv of out· note at this time is , that our courts of justice mete out punishment to offender~ only after the proof hnR shown nffinnntively that a defPndnnt has first form ·rl a well dPfine(l intention to flo 'wrong- anrl has thereafter acted unon tiUtt int ent ion.
