ELLEN CHORLTON

Many times during his study of Christian Science the sincere student may say to himself, What I want is more love. Not altogether in a condemnatory sense does he thus take himself to task: it is his very earnestness which enables him to see that without a love-filled consciousness he can do no fruitful work in the Christian Science field. When writing to the Romans Paul said, "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." This law of Love is what Jesus referred to when he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil"—the law of his Father and our Father, the perfect law of God, who made man and the universe and declared them to be "very good."

Divine Love alone created perfect man and the harmonious universe as chronicled in the first chapter of Genesis. Love too great to know aught of sickness, sin, greed, lust, envy, hate, poverty, sorrow—all the disheartening concomitants of evil which dog the pathway of human experience; Love from which there can be but one effect—good!

The divine law of Love, recognized and fulfilled the world over by loyal Christian Scientists, is bringing peace, good will, and freedom from the bondage of material beliefs and their saddening consequences, replacing sorrow with joy, poverty with abundance, hate with love, envy with appreciation, lust with chastity, greed with temperance, sin with purity, sickness with health.
