Rejoice Always

ADELAIDE FISHER.

PAUL'S experience taught him that we may count it all joy when we fall into temptation. During the last few months, the temptation to give some prominence to beliefs of intelligence in matter may have touched us.

The clergyman, the physician, the author or others of culture "seem to have felt it a duty to warn against, ridicule, or otherwise misrepresent Christian Science, but like our Master, we may reassure ourselves of the nothingness of carnal mind, even when most assertive, and lovingly pray, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."

The world is helped every time that error is effaced by realization of the one infinite Love. Those who for years have been trained in theological dogmas, may have unconsciously accepted man-made theories, until it is just as applicable to them as to those to whom Jesus spoke, "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Not lapse of time, but spiritual illumination acquaints us with God, Spirit.
