"MORE THAN CONQUERORS."

WILLIS F. GROSS.

Christian Science teaches that the truth of being remains forever the same. When reality is reached, the varied experiences of human existence will have passed away and consciousness will recognize only the forever unfolding of infinite good, wherein is no inharmony or imperfection, but every effect is the result of perfect cause and each created thing is in its right place and is, in harmony with all else, serving the purpose of good. To gain the true consciousness of being wherein all is good and evil is unknown, should be regarded as the most important thing in life. The Master said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;" and he added that all things necessary to the harmony of present human experience would be provided. Mortals have not always recognized the importance and truth of these words of him who spake as no other man ever spake, hence they have many times failed to derive the greatest good from the experiences of daily life and have failed to improve the opportunities afforded them to gain a clearer sense of man's eternal being.

Those of us who have some practical knowledge of Christian Science have learned from experience that it is possible to escape much of the discord and suffering that was hitherto regarded as inevitable, and what is not avoided can be endured in a manner that results in the attainment of a larger sense of good. Mortals feel that they suffer many things in vain. Christian Science teaches that this should not be so. Every experience is an opportunity to learn some good, and the mortal will be better if the experience is met in the right way.

We read in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy (p. 304): "It is ignorance and false belief, based on a material sense of things, which hide spiritual beauty and goodness." As ignorance and false belief are eliminated from human thought the beauty and harmony of real being are recognized. False belief is not overcome if it is believed to be true; its falsity must be recognized, for not otherwise can it be dealt with in an effectual manner. Christian Science teaches that false belief is the primal cause of all discord and suffering and that Truth is the remedy. The truth of this teaching has been demonstrated for nearly half a century and the number of those who find help in Christian Science is increasing daily.
