Palestine (Tex.) Visitor

When we refuse to dignify the claims of evil by withholding any belief in their verity, and are able to prove evil untrue by overcoming its temptations, we grow in the apprehension of God's immanence, and are then working out our salvation in the way of His appointing.

Jesus suffered in all points like as we. Jesus bore in his body the sufferings induced by the world's hatred of the truth which he presented. All who follow his example will have to drink of his cup of sorrows.

This experience, however, will chasten and purify, when it leads one to Christ, whereby he learns that the suffering sense is temporal. Christian Scientists are coming to learn that matter is not substance; that it has neither intelligence nor sensation. They are learning that God is infinite Mind, the only consciousness; and that, in proportion to one's ability to realize the allness of the divine Mind, he is being ushered into the "secret place of the most High," right here, and now; and thus the pangs of pain have less and less dominion over him, in consequence of increase of spiritual understanding.
