EXCHANGE TOPS RECORD IN BOX PRODUCTION IN 1946 "The year 1946 was little different from the war years in obtaining supplies essential to the handling of citrus crops," stated P. E. Simpson, general manager of Fruit Growers Supply company, in his annual report to the board of directors meeting in Los Angeles. "Extensive work stoppages in many basic industries have so delayed the time when there could be a reasonable balance between supply and demand that the period of readjustment from a wartime to a peacetime economy has been much longer than was anticipated on V-J Day," Simpson said. During the past year, Fruit Growers Supply company produced in the company mills 83 per cent of the boxes and 30 per cent of the covers delivered to members. The percentage of boxes is the highest on record, but the percentage of covers was reduced because of work stoppages in the company plants. On an industry basis, Fruit Growers Supply company produced in excess of 50 per cent of the citrus box shooke used by the entire California-Arizona industry. "The importance of the company's mill production is obvious," Simpson stated. "With other mill operators interested in more remunerative business, the citrus industry would have been without sufficient boxes to move the crop. It was another example of the company being again forced to increase production as was the case in 1910 and 1921 when, as now, it was impossible to buy sufficient boxes from outside Total use of nitrogenous fertilizer by U. S. agriculture in 1946 was 89 per cent greater than the annual average of the period 1935-39. At the same time the amount of such material available for 1947 is estimated to be 850,000 tons short of demand. This shortage is largely due to requisitions of fertilizer by the Army and UNRRA for use in foreign countries and the shutting down of ordnance plans whose by-products are used in fertilizer manufacture. Re-opening of such plants might alleviate the shortage to some extent but the deal is expected to be acute throughout the year. Youth Problems To Be Discussed At Conference Youth and its problems, and the problems of parents and all agencies, public and private, dealing with youth will be discussed at an all-day tri-county conference to be held March 29 at Riverside Mission Inn. The counties participating in the conference are Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, according to Warren O. Mendenhall, president of the Orange County Youth Council. Those in attendance will hear such outstanding speakers as Dr. H. B. McDaniels, assistant professor of education at Stanford university; George Hjille, superintendent of the recreation department of Los Angeles city; and Dr. Ralph Eckert, chief of the California Department of par- "The importance of the company's mill production is obvious," Simpson stated. "With other mill operators interested in more remunerative business, the citrus industry would have been without sufficient boxes to move the crop. It was another example of the company being again forced to increase production as was the case in 1910 and 1921 when, as now, it was impossible to buy sufficient boxes from outside sources." The importance of the Westwood operation in the production of boxes was even more apparent in 1946 than it was the previous year. Of the more than 34 million boxes used by members in 1946, Westwood produced 18 million. Box production at the Westwood plant was stepped up 63 per cent over 1945 due to rehabilitation of the Westwood box factory. Total dollar volume for 1946 was $24,095,000 — approximately nine per cent more than 1945. Final refunds of $1,600,000 have already been paid out to members. Total lumber production of the three company mills at Hilt, Susanville and Westwood was more than 200 million feet. This reuired more than 218 million feet of logs, pointing up the necessity of using every possible satisfactory type of timber for shook manufacture as future supplies of timber are going to be hard to find. Volume of the fertilizer department of the company reached an all-time high on both tonnage and dollar value with a volume increase of 25 per cent over 1944, the highest previous year.

A Lecture on Christian Science Entitled The Truth of Christian Science by Archibald Carey, C.S.B. of Detroit, Michigan Delivered under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Anaheim, California on Sunday, March 16, 1947 at Anaheim Union High School auditorium The lecturer spoke substantially as follows: In Christian Science we begin all our reasoning, all our prayers, all our treatments with God. So quickly as possible the great numbers who were ready for it. Those who had been benefited by her teachings gladly joined with her in this effort, and the result was the development under her guidance of the Christian Science movement. The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, with its branches and its Christian Science Publishing Society, as well as all the activities of The Mother Church provided for in its Manual, were established through the vision, foresight, and inspiration of this remarkable woman. The more one examines and understands what she accomplished, the greater becomes one's admiration for her ability and intelligence. The more you experience the benefits that come as a result of the application of her teachings, the more gratitude and love you naturally feel toward the spiritually-minded woman who labored so earnestly and lovingly that this good might be available to you. Anyone who studies her teachings knows that Mary Baker Eddy would be the first to repudiate any suggestion that her followers should worship her, but those who have received healing and happiness through Christian Science naturally feel deep gratitude and loving appreciation toward the one who has made this possible. So Christian Scientists recognize Mrs. Eddy as the Discoverer of Christian Science, as the Founder of the movement through which this Science is reaching the world, and as the Leader through whose spiritual insight and inspiration the world can be led to heights of freedom, harmony, success, and happiness which have hitherto been unknown. The ancient prophets, who caught fragmentary glimpses of this scientific knowledge of God's laws, were enabled to foresee to some extent what would be the nature of this full appearing of Truth. The fulfillment of their prophecies came when Mary Baker Eddy discovers us necessary to the continued existence and operation of these laws. Therefore we can record it as a fact which is not subject to successful denial or doubt, that there is one supreme Principle or God controlling all the laws of the universe. We can see that this Principle must exist, but do we know with equal certainty anything about its nature? Yes, there are a number of things which we know about this Principle. Because it maintains the existence of all the laws that are based upon it, and therefore all the effects that result from the operation of these laws, this Principle must be good, or beneficial to these laws and their effects. Since this Principle includes under its control all the laws that there are, and there are no others, there can be no actualities which it does not control and to which it is not good. There are other things that must also be true about this Principle. Inasmuch as it completely controls an intelligible universe, including intelligent man, and governs the laws of intelligence by which you and I understand and comprehend this intelligible universe, this Principle could hardly be less than intelligent. Being intelligent it must comprehend the laws and facts which are based upon it. Because all the laws and facts that exist have their basis in Principle, it would therefore comprehend all that there is to be known in divine Science. Therefore it would include all the intelligence or understanding of perfect Mind. Because divine Principle is all-intelligent, it conceives and recognizes the only creation as good and harmonious. It is the nature of love to discern and appreciate And Christian Science teaches that divine Principle is Love. Let us remember that the more we appreciate good, the more we love it. For example, the more we understand and appreciate music, the more we love it. In like manner us that the divine Principle, erring all law and action, is mate substance. Evil Also Unreal That evil is unreal is a fundamental teaching of Christianity. If we accept the premise that the universe is under the government of divine Principle, anyone that seems to be, but is no harmony with this Principle, be a mistake. It could not be And being unreal, a mistake or error, it can be corrected and stroved by the truth. The statement that five plus equals nine is a mistake. It is true. No one ever experienced No one ever received five dollars and two dollars and as a result nine dollars. But the error, five plus equals nine, if undiscovered, uncorrected, can make a great amount of trouble. Do you rememberuring your income tax? An cannot be ignored; for it seems have power to interfere with important matters, and yet all time it is unreal, and must yield its seeming reality or power soon as the truth is discerned. We find that this utilization the power of Truth over err capable of a much broader application than that in mathematics. Because evil is necessarily opposed to the ultimate reality which good, it must be unreal, and learn through Christian Science how to apply the specific that is necessary to correct destroy every claim of evil. Any scientific research department operates on the assumption that if sufficient intelligence be applied to any human situation it can be improved. In Christian Science we go farther. Instruct relying on a blind hope that some way intelligence will work us, we work with the cert that because we understand nature of perfect Mind to be intelligence, and how to destroit it, we can prepare our scientifically to receive from the right ideas that will over- and destroy anything that is possible to the great numbers who were ready for it. Those who had been benefiled by her teachings gladly joined with her in this effort, and the result was the development under her guidance of the Christian Science movement. The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, with its branches and its Christian Science Publishing Society, as well as all the activities of The Mother Church provided for in its Manual, were established through the vision, foresight, and inspiration of this remarkable woman.

So let us start with God. The term "God" means many different things to different people. In order to make sure that we are all thinking about the same thing, perhaps we should first of all agree on just what we mean when we use the term "God." In Christian Science we have a textbook, called "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which accurately defines the terms which we use in speaking or writing of this Science. Another book by the same author, entitled the Church Manual of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, applies the teachings of Christian Science to the organized activities of the Christian Science movement. The teachings of these two books, and the organization which is an outgrowth of these teachings, have had a profound influence on the thinking of mankind, and we are naturally interested in their author. Mary Baker Eddy grew up in the atmosphere of godly intelligence that characterized the best New England tradition. While higher education was not considered seemly for women in those days, her keen intellect and thirst for knowledge enabled her, through independent study and constant contact with those who were well educated, to gain such a familiarity with the best thinking of her day that she must be thought of as a highly educated woman. Her family were devout Christians, and from her early years she was deeply religious. As she grew up and her intellectual outlook broadened she was troubled by the conflict that seemed to exist between the logical, intelligent thinking which her education encouraged, and the religious dogmas which her religious instructors told her she should accept and believe without question. She thought deeply on this, and investigated ancient and modern philosophies and different schools of thought. But her questions still persisted. One of the subjects that especially interested her was the healing of disease by Jesus. She could not accept the explanation that this was due to supernatural interference by an unpredictable God, and that such healings as those performed by Jesus and his disciples were possible only at that moment. The movement through which this Science is reaching the world, and as the Leader through whose spiritual insight and inspiration the world can be led to heights of freedom, harmony, success, and happiness which have hitherto been unknown. The ancient prophets, who caught fragmentary glimpses of this scientific knowledge of God's laws, were enabled to foresee to some extent what would be the nature of this full appearing of Truth. The fulfillment of their prophecies came when Mary Baker Eddy discovered and established Christian Science, and restored the lost element of Christian healing. The Nature of God In considering our subject, "The Truth of Christian Science," let us begin with its most fundamental and far-reaching teaching, that is, the nature of God. The Bible uses several words to describe the nature of Deity. However, in considering our subject at this time, let us deal particularly with Truth as a synonym for God. What does it mean to use the word "Truth" as a synonym for God? It means that we must refuse to accept as belonging to God anything that is not absolutely true. Someone may say with Pilate, "What is Truth?" How do we know what is true? Especially how can we know what is true about God? Does anyone really know anything about God?" We may even hear the question, "How do we really know that there is a God? No one has ever seen Him!" Must we accept the existence of God on faith alone, or can we test the conclusions of Christian Science on the basis of logic and reasoning, just as we would test the conclusions of any other science? In the Christian Science textbook (p. 115) God is referred to as "divine Principle, Life, Truth, Love, Soul, Spirit, Mind." If that is what Christian Science means by the term "God," can one choose to believe or disbelieve, or are dealing with an intescapable reality? In ordinary human affairs there are certain standards of truth which we use, and perhaps these may be helpful to us in approaching the teachings of Christian Science. For example, no one doubts or denies that two times two equals four; that three times three equals nine. It is a law of mathematics that two times two must always equal four, and it is equally a law that three times three must always equal nine. Moreover the law that two times two must equal four has always existed and always will. In the same way there never was a time when three times three did not equal nine, and this law will never change. These eternal and unchanging laws are not in conflict with each other or with any other laws. Because divine Principle is all-intelligent, it conceives and recognizes the only creation as good and harmonious. It is the nature of love to discern and appreciate. And Christian Science teaches that divine Principle is Love. Let us remember that the more we appreciate good, the more we love it. For example, the more we understand and appreciate music, the more we love it. In like manner, we may have a growing appreciation of the Godlike qualities of a friend, until we learn to love that friend. When we learn how this growing appreciation of Godlike qualities of thought merges into affection and love, we can understand what the Apostle Paul meant when he said, "Love is the fulfilling of the law" (Rom. 13:10) Inasmuch as the divine Principle is the source or origin of those Godlike thoughts which are loving, lovable, and beloved, then the very nature of this divine Principle must be divine Love. Because this Principle is the noumenon of all the phenomena of life, we can speak of it as the very essence of divine Life. Because all that is true must be based upon this Principle, and nothing can be true which is not based upon it, this Principle could be considered as synonymous with Truth itself. This Principle unlimited by time or space, the substance of all reality, can be thought of as Spirit. And since it includes in its eternal oneness and allness everything that rebukes the material senses and awakens thought to the spiritual sense of things, thus it includes the identity of each individual and can therefore be spoken of as Soul. There can then be no doubt as to the existence of God as He is described in Christian Science: "Divine Principle, Life, Truth, Love, Soul, Spirit, Mind." In testing the truth of Christian Science, therefore, we find that its teachings in regard to the nature of God she not based on dogma, or a desire to believe, but are scientifically accurate conclusions which follow from an intelligent consideration of the facts. On the very first page of the Preface of the Christian Science textbook we find these words: "The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity." As we search for the truth honestly and without prejudice, we find it revealed in Christian Science. The Unreality of Matter Another teaching of Christian Science is that matter is unreal. This too can be subjected to the test of truth. The first step is of course to find out what the term "matter" means. At the time when the Christian Science textbook was written during the following every claim or evil. Any scientific research department operates on the assumption that if sufficient intelligence be applied to any human situ it can be improved. In Christ Science we go farther. Instead relying on a blind hope there some way intelligence will us, we work with the certi because we understand nature of perfect Mind to be intelligence, and how to determine it; we can prepare our scientifically to receive from it the right ideas that will oversee and destroy anything that is lating deficic law or interfere with the progress of mankind any individual. We do not in evil but we do recognize its reality. Then effectively practically apply the truth needed until the evil, like a take in mathematics, is over and destroyed, and the truth tabulated in its place. Healing in Christian Science Would it not be a wonder thing if we should find that it is as unreal as a mistake addition, and that we can get it as easily as we can a mathematical mistake, by applying truth that is needed to correct This is what Christian Science teaches and proves. From a physiological point view, all disease requires action if you replace diseased action kind of action which coe no element of discord or do you have healed the disease applies not only to the mal which physicians classify as a national, but also to the dis which they classify as organ. We are told that through tion of metabolism bodily tis constantly being torn down replaced with new materials that any organ or part of them is continually being rebuilt action of an organ as well substance is thus consider dependent entirely upon what called the bodily processes these are controlled by diy they are supposed to produce only functional but organic order. If all the bodily prowess were harmoniously gave there could be no disease ganic or functional. What controls these process Not just the automatic actio food because two people can take same things and one be and other be sick. Not old or environment because two people can live in same surrections and one be sick and they well. Not germs or contagion cause two people can be exposed and one will have sufficient intelligence to be unaffected while the other may succeed How can man successfully y undo throw off disease? That exactly what Christian Science teaches us. A basic mistake that has been formed with the progress of tion of healing has been the answer education encouraged, and the religious dogmas which her religious instructors tol' her she should accept and believe without question. She thought deeply on this, and investigated ancient and modern philosophies and different schools of thought. But her questions still persisted. One of the subjects that especially interested her was the healing of disease by Jesus. She could not accept the explanation that this was due to supernatural interference by an unpredictable God, and that such healings as those performed by Jesus and his apostles were possible only at that time and by certain persons. Her investigation of this subject was brought to an abrupt climax when she met with an accident that was expected to prove fatal. She called for her Bible and studied the account of the healing by Jesus of a palsied man. She caught a glimpse of the fact that such a phenomenon must be due to the operation of law, and that the same law of God which was present in Jesus' time must be operative in her time. This revelation of the unchanging truth of the law of God made such an impression upon her thought that a most remarkable thing took place. Her body was instantly healed. She saw immediately that this was a clue to the method of healing used by Jesus. She recognized what a boon to mankind it would be if Jesus' method of healing could be discovered. So she dropped all other activities and devoted her entire attention to a study of the Bible. By applying to Christianity the scientific method which looks for facts and laws instead of emphasizing the supernatural and miraculous, she discovered the laws that Jesus had used and the methods of applying them practically to human needs. After broad practical tests of this scientific method of healing, she felt ready to give to the world God's revelation to her. This she has done in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." As she saw the great human need for the spiritual teachings contained in this book, her loving desire to help menand yearned to make this healing truth available is Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portal of humanity." As we search for the truth, honestly and without prejudice, we find it revealed in Christian Science. The Unreality of Matter Another teaching of Christian Science is that matter is unreal. This too can be subjected to the test of truth. The first step is of course to find out what the term "matter" means. At the time when the Christian Science textbook was written and during the following years when it was being revised by its author to meet the changing developments of human thought, the term "matter," as used in the natural sciences, had a definite meaning. It referred to a supposed ultimate physical substance which was described as consisting of indivisible, indestructible, and unchangeable atoms. The atom, of which all substance was supposed to be made up, was defined as the smallest indivisible particle of matter. Matter, with its indivisible atoms and unchanging elements, was thought of as having an existence that did not depend in any way on energy. This theory of matter, which was accepted as truth in those days, has, of course, been completely wiped out by modern investigation. The atom has been broken down and divided, one element has been changed into another until it is believed that there is no material substance independent of energy. This whole theory of matter which was supposed to be real is dealt with very summarily and completely in the Christian Science textbook where Mrs. Eddy says (p. 277), "Matter is an error of statement." Long before the physicists had recognized the mistaken concept of material substance which was designated as matter, Mary Baker Eddy through her clear vision of what is true and actual, had recognized that matter is self-destroyed, and therefore unreal. It follows that all the limitations and discords that are connected with these false concepts about matter can therefore be broken down and destroyed. Christian Science shows the same things and one be found and the other be sick. Not close or environment, because two people can live in the same surroundings and one be sick and the other well. Not germs or contagion cause two people can be exposed and one will have sufficient resistance to be unaffected while the other may succeed. How can man successfully recover from throw off disease? That exactly what Christian Science teaches us. A basic mistake that has occurred with the progress of the healing has been the assertion that man lives in a body. A well-informed individual generally knows that the physisologists say about eleven months, you can be another individual. But many believes that the individual really is changed when they are replaced. If you want to draw out money that you deposited a year before, you can be very much surprised by bank refused to honor your bank because physiologists say have not the same body. Why does your signature bank look so much like you that you used when you made deposit a year before? You see the same mental pattern for signature. If you find your writing is getting illegible correct your mental patterns your handwriting improves. Find your physical body is festing something less than health and harmony and position that are right and normal correcting some of your nonsense concepts with Christian Science and watch the effect on them. We find that even the physisologist is in the last analysis manifestation of thought. A correct thought, the body is controlled by and included in correction. Is not this a great improvement in the art of healing? In the drugs we find variable with different people or with same individuals at dif that the divine Principle, governing all law and action, is ultimate substance. Evil Also Unreal That evil is unreal is a fundamental teaching of Christian Science. If we accept the premise that the universe is under the government of divine Principle, anything that seems to be, but is not in harmony with this Principle, must be a mistake. It could not be real, and being unreal, a mistake or error, it can be corrected and destroyed by the truth. The statement that five plus two equals nine is a mistake. It is not true. No one ever experienced it. No one ever received five dollars and two dollars and as a result had nine dollars. But the error, five plus two equals nine, if undiscovered and incorrect, can make a great deal trouble. Do you remember figuring your income tax? An error cannot be ignored, for it seems to have power to interfere with important matters, and yet all the time it is unreal, and must yield up seeming reality or power as soon as the truth is discerned. We find that this utilization of the power of Truth over error is capable of a much broader application than that in mathematics because evil is necessarily opposed to the ultimate reality which is good, it must be unreal, and we learn through Christian Science how to apply the specific truth that is necessary to correct and destroy every claim of evil. Any scientific research department operates on the assumption that if sufficient intelligence can be applied to any human situation it can be improved. In Christian Science we go farther. Instead of relying on a blind hope that in some way intelligence will help us, we work with the certainty that because we understand the nature of perfect Mind to be intelligence, and how to demonstrate it, we can prepare ourselves scientifically to receive from Mind the right ideas that will overcome and destroy anything that is vicious. times, as well as the bad aftereffects that so often follow. In Christian Science, on the other hand, we work directly with the mental condition which is responsible for the body. As we strengthen, correct, and heal it by applying the fundamental truths about God and man, we find that a mistaken thought-model of a disease-process, like a mistaken mental concept in arithmetic, can be overcome and destroyed, thus healing the body. Moreover, this method heals all kinds of disease. A young woman who was totally blind in one eye and had lost most of the sight of the other was told by specialists whom she consulted that medical science could do nothing for her sight, and she went to a Christian Science practitioner for help. He saw this was an opportunity for the healing power of God, Principle, to be utilized. If Truth can correct a mistake in mathematics, can it not correct a mistake about man? In a few minutes conversation it became apparent that the patient was blind also to many other things that are important to happiness. She evidently saw no good in anyone, saw no opportunities to make others happy, and overlooked most of the things that make life worth living. She did not see them because she did not look for them. She saw little to be grateful for—and is not ingratitude a form of blindness to good and its source? Treatment in Christian Science continued for some days, and a great change appeared. There began to appear a radiantly happy, alert, grateful young woman whose expression was so kindly and friendly that people spoke to her about it. The physician who had last examined her eyes before she turned to Christian Science, and had told her that her case was hopeless, met her on the street. He was astounded at her ability to see, and asked permission to examine her eyes to satisfy himself that what she told him was true. After a careful examination he told her. He went to a Christian Science practitioner and said: "Only a miracle can save my business. I need thirty thousand dollars right away. I have tried every avenue I can think of, and there doesn't seem to be the slightest possibility of getting it." Together, he and the practitioner turned to God in silent prayer—the understanding consistent communion with God of which Christian Science teaches us. Despair, fear, worry began to lift, in the realization of God's great power and goodness, of His love for each of His children. In this free, undisturbed atmosphere of thought, right ideas, which have their source in God and are always available to man, naturally began to appear. As he turned to God for broader wisdom, the thought came to him to call in his employees and discuss the situation with them. He did so, and found they were as worried about their jobs as he had been about the business, because they could see that the concern could not continue to operate as it had been. Rather than have the business close, they offered to reduce their wages during the emergency and each do more work than before in order to keep things going. In this spirit of grateful courageous co-operation the business improved most remarkably in production, economy of operation, better contacts with customers, and also in volume. A few unusual advertising plans, inexpensive but very effective, next appeared. The thought then came to this man to go to his creditors and talk to them. When they saw change in his business and realized that it was operating at a profit they gladly gave him credit for his current needs and agreed to defer payment of their old balance until the business could meet then out of earnings. Soon better working conditions could be provided for the employees, the debts were paid, and the operation showed good profit. The business was saved, and t destroy every claim of evil. Any scientific research department operates on the assumption that if sufficient intelligence can be applied to any human situation can be improved. In Christian science we go farther. Instead of relying on a blind hope that in some way intelligence will help us, we work with the certainty that because we understand the nature of perfect Mind to be intelligence, and how to demonstrate it, we can prepare ourselves scientifically to receive from Mind the right ideas that will overcome and destroy anything that is violating delicacy law or interfering with the progress of mankind or any individual. We do not ignore evil, but we do recognize its uneasility. Then we effectively and practically apply the truth that is needed until the evil, like a mistake in mathematics, is overcome and destroyed, and the truth is established in its place. Healing in Christian Science Would it not be a wonderful thing if we should find that sickness is as unreal as a mistake in addition, and that we can get rid of it as easily as we can a mathematical mistake, by applying the truth that is needed to correct it? This is what Christian Science teaches and proves. From a physiological point of view, all disease requires action. If you replace diseased action by the kind of action which contains no element of discord or decay, you have healed the disease. This applies not only to the maladies which physicians classify as functional, but also to the diseases which they classify as organic. We are told that through the action of metabolism bodily tissue is constantly being torn down and replaced with new material, so that any organ or part of the body is continually being rebuilt. The action of an organ, as well as its substance, is thus considered as dependent entirely upon what are called the bodily processes. If these are controlled by disease they are supposed to produce not only functional but organic disorder. If all the bodily processes were harmoniously governed, there could be no disease, organic or functional. What controls these processes? Not just the automatic action of God, because two people can eat the same things and one be well and the other be sick. Not climate or environment, because two people can live in the same surroundings and one be sick and the other well. Not germs or contagion, because two people can be equally exposed and one will have sufficient resistance to be unaffected while the other may succumb. How can man successfully resist and throw off disease? This is exactly what Christian Science reaches us. A basic mistake that has interrupted with the progress of the art of healing has been the assumption continued for some days, and a great change appeared. There began to appear a radiantly happy, alert, grateful young woman whose expression was so kindly and friendly that people spoke to her about it. The physician who had last examined her eyes before she turned to Christian Science, and had told her that her case was hopeless, met her on the street. He was astounded at her ability to see, and asked permission to examine her eyes to satisfy himself that what she told him was true. After a careful examination he told her that the sight of the eye which had been totally blind was perfect, and that the sight of the other eye was practically normal. The body does not control itself, nor maintain any condition of disease or defect, but as the thought that is expressed by the body is corrected and healed through the truth about God and man, the body naturally responds. Christian Science teaches that there is a distinction between the Christ, which Mrs. Eddy delibes in the Christian Science textbook (p. 583) as "the divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error," and Jesus, defined as "the highest human corporeal concept of the divine idea, rebuking and destroying error and bringing to light man's immortality" (p. 589). Because the human Jesus exemplified the eternal Christ, he was known as Christ Jesus. Perhaps one of the simplest ways to understand the mature of the Christ is to think of the Christ as the way of living—the perfect way of living. The Christian Science textbook and the Bible speak of the Christ as the Way, and we do much to bring the Christ into our experience as our way of living approaches more and more the divine manifestation of God. The salvation which comes through an acceptance of the Christ then becomes part of our daily life. We are not looking forward to a future-world salvation, but we recognize that we are saved, protected, and strengthened, and healed by the power of divine Love now. This is true salvation in all its completeness and eternal reality. Christian Science fulfills the words of the Bible, "Now come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ" (Rev. 12:10). Naturally now the question arises, "How can I make the best practical use of this power of God?" Prayer Because God is Mind, the great source of all right ideas, the way to receive these right ideas is through communication or communion with this Mind. Communion with God is prayer, and Christian Science gives a great deal of attention to this important subject. If prayer is thought of as an effort to get an instantly wise and loving God in charge, it expands expensive but very effective next appeared. The thought then came to this man to go to his creditors not talk to them. When they saw that he gladly gave him credit for his current needs and agreed to defray payment of their old balance until the business could meet then out of errailings. Soon better working conditions could be provided for the employees, the debts were paid, and the operation showed good profit. The business was saved, and the owner was again operating successfully. What he needed was no thirty thousand dollars, but right ideas. The author of the Christian Science textbook, in his "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 307) has said, "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, give you daily supplies." May I add just a word as means that may be useful in making practically and quickly available to you the benefits of Christian Science? You will find helpful to get a copy of the Christian Science textbook, "Scientist Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, which can be purchased or borrowed at any Christian Science Reading Room. Read the first chapter on "Prayer" and see how much of it you already agree with. You will enjoy the eighth chapter, beginning on page 201, called "Footsteps of Truth," and the chapters that follow. Then read the whole book from the beginning of the Profice to the end of the testimonies. The author of the book advises us to read it "from beginning to end" (p. 550). You may find it easier not to try to get the full meaning of every sentence as you begin to read. Just accept what comes to you naturally, and let a fuller understanding of the meaning come as you go through the book again. It is helpful to study the Bible in the light of Christian Science. To aid you in doing this, a copy of the Christ in Science Quarterly is useful because it contains citations from the Bible to be studied in connection with passages from Science and Health. Another aid to progress is attendance at the Christian Science church services not only on Sunday but also on Wednesday evening when the meetings include testimonies of healing in Christian Science. You will find them most interesting. However, nothing is of more importance to your progress in Christian Science than that you should set aside a certain time each day, preferably at the beginning of the day, for consecrated study of the Bible and Science and Health, together with an adequate time of earnest, grateful prayer and communion with God in light of Christian Science. More and more joy and freedom of Christian Science will permeate every hour of the day. Naturally now the question arises, "How can I make the best practical use of this power of God?" Prayer Because God is Mind, the great source of all right ideas, the way to receive these right ideas is through communication or communion with this Mind. Communion with God is prayer, and Christian Science gives a great deal of attention to this important subject. If prayer is thought of as an effort to get an infinitely wise and loving God to change His good plans because of the urging of some limited mortal, then prayer cannot be successful. For God to be less than loving and wise in response to such a request would be contrary to the nature of God. Such prayer would benefit neither God nor the one who prayed. On the other hand, if prayer is thought of as communion with infinite Love and wisdom by which one gratefully, lovingly and intelligently turns to God to learn how to be more kind, wise and actively Godlike, results are sure to follow. Into this receptive consciousness will flow right ideas from infinite Mind. As these ideas are accepted and utilized, there will naturally appear in the experience of the individual who entertains them greater health, harmony, freedom, abundance, and success. We can develop our capacity to talk or commune with God as we would talk with a kindly, wise friend. As we not only talk to God in prayer, but also listen in prayer for the right ideas which He will give us, we find that His loving wisdom guides us and leads us to recognize and accept the opportunities which He always provides to bring His children the fullest degree of happiness. Our Father-Mother God loves you individually, and it is His purpose that you should be well and happy and successful. A friend of mine had a very practical demonstration of how Christian Science works. He was a successful business man, but in the depression a few years ago he found himself in a desperate situation. However, nothing is of more importance to your progress in Christian Science than that you should set aside a certain time each day, preferably at the beginning of the day, for consecrated study of the Bible and Science and Health, together with an adequate time of earnest, grateful prayer and communion with God in the light of Christian Science. More and more the joy and freedom of Christian Science will permeate every hour of the day, but nothing can take the place of time devoted solely and conscientiously to prayer and the study of Christian Science. Conclusion As you proceed with your investigation of the truth of Christian Science you will find it most satisfying. You have faith and confidence in the multiplication table because you understand it and can demonstrate its rules or laws. Christian Science also puts your understanding of God and your faith in His power on the basis of demonstrable certainty. So let us make a fresh start, recognizing that "now are we the sons of God." Let us look to our loving wife Father-Mother God to help us along the way, gratfully accepting the privilege of actively expressing God, by being more Godlike, loving, intelligent, and alive. We go forward with God to accept the happiness which He designs for His children. In the words of a hymn from the Christian Science Hymnal (No. 145): "Wherever He may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I look. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim; He knows the way He intends, And I will walk with Him."
