A noted
Scotch divine has recently said that "nothing is more apparent than the disappearance of authority from the modern church," and these words immediately relate themselves in thought to any lack of interest in spiritual things, which may be manifested by professing Christians as well as others.
The
recent newspaper notices of Commander Peary's achievements in polar research not only recall the many attempts to reach the North Pole which have been made in the past, but also bring to memory the heroic efforts which led to the discovery of this continent.
It
is the very genius of Christianity that its redemptive truths are to be possessed by every believer; that he is to become a king and priest unto God, be "endued with power," whereby he may prove Truth's efficiency in the solution of his life problems.
Christian Science
teaches that the reign of Truth in the individual and in all the universe is also the reign of beauty, for "beauty, as well as truth, is eternal;" that the divine ideas are ever presented in "spiritual and immortal forms of beauty," and that we shall be both beautiful and grand "when governed by immortal Mind".
