Certain
tendencies of the times are turning men's thoughts away from the contemplation of Deity, of the things not seen, the eternal things, and fixing them upon some form of materiality.
Christian Science
teaches one to analyze one's thinking, taking divine Mind as the sure gauge as to the worth or the worthlessness of the thoughts which he is entertaining.
In
the eighth chapter of Romans, Paul sets forth the ground of the Christian's hope in a burst of assurance and of supreme triumph, both inspiring and convincing.
