HAZEL A. BLACKWELL

One of the common necessities of mankind is home. Being ever ready to pervert the true idea of home, material sense claims that home may range from a hovel to a palace; that strife may infest it; that there may be lack of means to support it; that it may be made or broken by a whim or a chance circumstance.

Throughout the ages, however, many men have dimly realized that the uncertain human home is temporal. Spiritually-minded people in varying measure have believed in the existence of a higher and more permanent abode. The Psalmist sang, "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth." But it remained for Christian Science to reveal and make possible the present utilization of the truth about home.

Christian Science reveals one real home—in Mind. Its foundations rest on God's omnipotence; its walls are His love and eternal protection. This home is in spiritual consciousness; and all God's children abide in it in peace, harmony, and abundance. In its true signification home is man's abiding consciousness of unity with his Father, and evil has no power to obscure or destroy it; for it was created and is sustained by Truth. This home is the inalienable possession of God's children, of which no claim of a supposititious life in matter can rob them.
