When
Christ Jesus taught his disciples to pray, Lead us not into temptation, he did not infer that God has any consciousness of evil, but he pointed out one of the steps which must be taken in solving the problem of the belief of life and intelligence in matter.
Metaphysically
considered, simplicity is a divinely mental quality; and with God, good, recognized as the one infinite Mind, simplicity is seen to belong to this Mind; hence is goodness manifested.
From
day's early dawning till night's dusky fingersLet down o'er a weary world curtains of gloom,A weaver, designing his life's varied pattern,Was toiling and weaving at time's heavy loom;His shuttle was filled with the gay, brilliant colorsOf youth's luring passions, ambitions, and love;And into a rainbow-hued fabric he wove them,With never a shade from the gray clouds above.

It is now generally known that Christian Science healing of sin and disease, as well as all discordant conditions of mind, body, or estate, is brought about by prayer.
Walter H. Bedard, Committee on Publication for the State of Georgia,
Christian Science has been found practical, not only in healing the sick and the sinner, but in solving business tangles, regulating the minutest details of human activities, and restoring harmony where discord once reigned.

The Bible teaches that God is Spirit, omnipotent, omnipresent infinite, the one good, the only creator, Mind, Life, Truth, Love, and that man is made in the image and likeness of God.
The establishment of the Foreign Literature Fund for distributing Christian Science literature in the war-stricken countries of Central Europe was announced in the Christian Science Sentinel of May 19, 1923.

his second letter to the Christians in Corinth, Paul made clear the necessity for those who had accepted the teachings of Christ Jesus to go apart from the materially-minded, from those still bound in sinful pleasure, in order the better to exemplify the fruits of the Master's mission.
To the so-called carnal mind, which views everything from the standpoint of matter, the imbibing of the spirit is something which does not lend itself easily to explanation.
Because the study and application of Christian Science have brought into my experience so much blessing and have changed my outlook on life, I desire to add my testimony to the many which are going out through our periodicals, like a stream, bringing refreshment to the weary and giving strength and encouragement to seekers after Truth.
It is now over thirteen years since I first heard of Christian Science, and I feel that the time has come to express my gratitude through the pages of our periodicals.
