The Power

in a recent article in the Christian
Science Journal, published under
caption, “Strong Consolation,” S. A. Tir—
butt writes:

prophets attained to such a knowledge
of the absolute truth of existence that
it enabled them to overcome in large
measure their material surroundings
and to know that the power
with them was greater than the powers
which appeared to be against them.

“God is infinite and eternal, and there-
fore has had His witnesses in all places
and at all times. in the recorded
thoughts of the best thinkers of
ages we find rays of the light divine
and inklings of the knowledge of God;
and we also find power manifested over
material conditions in proportion to the
amount of truth apprehended. To illus-
trate: the philosopher Epictetus con—
sidered that the ideal man was that
man who lived in constant fellowship
with Zeus (the Almighty), and that
such fellowship resulted in an equa-
nimity and peace of mind which ina—
terial conditions could not destroy. in
a hymn to the Almighty, the philoso—
pher Cleanthes wrote, ‘For we are His
offspring,’ and this is the poet and the
quotation referred to in St. Paul‘s
speech on Mars’ hill. In the writings
of the ancient philosophers generally,
we find inklings of divine knowledge
here and there; but none of them had
that profound and absolute understand-
ing which gave the prophets their
power in the days of old, and which
made the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth
the salvation of the world. In the
writings of some of the most profound
thinkers of our own day we search in
vain for absolute certainty in their
teaching regarding God. Like the phi-
losophers of ancient times, they give
us hints of the truth, a ray of light
here and there; but the time occupied
in studying their works in order to
find these rays of light and glimmer-
ings of truth in regard to God, is al-
together out of proportion to the
amount of practical, spiritual truth ob-
tained.

Nature of God.

“It is not intended to depreciate the
works of the thinkers of any age, for
we have all been benefited by them in
so far as they taught us of the good
and the true; but where there is
uncertainty in regard to the nature
of the Supreme Being, there must be
lack of that spiritual power which
overcomes the disabilities under which
humanity labors. The unscientific
worshiping of God (without any real
and tangible knowledge of the ab-
solute facts of existence) has been the
cause of all the trouble of the ages, so
that men have been “tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of
doctrine,’ few having settled and certain
ideas as to Why we are here, where we

have come from, or whither we are go-,

mg.

“The perfect knowledge of God and the
perfect life which is its sequence,
prophesied, however, and discerning
minds looked for its appearing. The
great thinker Jesus of Nazareth came,
and demonstrated by practical appli-
cation that his teaching was true;
he revealed to us the power of in-
finite Mind ‘God is a Spirit,’ he said,
‘and they that worship him must Wor~
ship him in spirit and in truth.’ He
taught that man is at one with God now,
-—‘I am in my Father, and ye in me, and
I in you.’ He taught that there is only
one Life, and that Life is God, here and
now, and therefore the understanding of
God is life eternal. This teaching was
clear and unequivocal, and it gaVe such
steadfastness of thought and spiritual
strength to those who accepted it, that
the apostle in referring to it said that
through it We have
He then speaks of the hope which is ‘an
anchor of the soul, both sure and stead—
fast, and which entereth into that within
the veil.‘ The reference to the veil of the

temple was a familiar one to the Hen

brews of old. Within the veil was the
holy of holies; our hope is within the
veil. in the heart of the eternal; our

i and therefore

knmvlt-rlge that God is
that, We dwell in i‘iilli,
we are at-one with Him.

“After the first tWo or three centuries
,of the Christian era, only a very feeble
,hold was kept on the fundamental truths
of Christianty, that Iiod is infinite Mind.
iand that man and all things real are the
spiritual manifestations of this Mind. In
’Ctlllsei'lllol'lt'tf, individual communion with
:God became almost unknown. and men
vliegaii again to trust their spiritual af—
fairs to those who appeared. or claimed,
to have. greater kiltl\\'i1:(igtr. Time after
time teachers arose with the very best
intentions in tho world; but the funda-
mental truth had inj-“ll lost sight of, and
insecurity and uncertainty was the re—
,sult. ‘v'lthout certain knowledge, with—
out any sure hope, nion worshiped God,
until at last in our day there came one
whose vision was clear. the. revered dis—
coverer of Christian Science, who had
knowledge of God. and who found for
us the truth, declaring again in unmis—
takable tonos and with practical demon~
stration that God is Love, that God is
here, and that We live in Him.

Things That Are Real.

“The teaching of Christian Science that'

all things real (having permanent ex-
istence) are the manifestations of Mind,
,and that God is the Mind, is influencing
ithe thought of our times to a remarkable
iextent. How far this influence has di-
lrected present—day thinking none can
say; but there are no boundaries to the
ipower of Truth—no doors can shut it
out. no obstacles can bar its action. It
finds its way through all the ramifica-
[tions of modern social life; it enters our
Ilegislatures and influences the delibera-
tions of the nations of the world. In
other words, the truth proclaimed by
lJesus, and by his i‘ollmvers for several
Igenerations after him, and again appre-
ihended by Mrs. Eddy, the truth that ‘all
vis infinite Mind and its infinite mani—
festation' (Science and Health, p. 468). is
jnow beginning to be recognized by those
[who have been seeking for truth from
ia material basis, and by those who have
iendeavored to help mankind by applying
xali the truth they knew on a. material
i basis.
i “It must be readily conceded that the
.earnest physical scientist is a seeker
{after truth, for error in his work would
llead him astray; it means delay in his
researches, and no advancement could
.-be made until he retraced his steps, rec—
tified his mistake, and got on the right
road again. Those Who Work for the
betterment of humanity eventually find
that only in the line of truth is last-
ing success to be attained. in learning
the scientific facts of existence, how—
ever, the Christian Scientist has a. great
advantage, inasmuch as he has been
taught, and has proved for himself, that
‘all is infinite Mind and its infinite manio
festation,’ and he is therefore working
with the truth and in the light; whereas
the physical scientist is working toward
the truth and toward the light from the
darkness of the ages of the past. The
physical scientist is trying to discover a
basis on which definite and irrefutable
knowledge of creation may be founded;
the Christian Scientist has found and
knOWs the basis, the Principle 0f ex-
istence, and that knowledge is to him
‘an anchor of the soul, both sure and
steadfast.’

God Is Infinite Spirit.

“Christian Science teaches that God
is infinite Spirit, or Mind. Mind is re—
jvealed in thoughts or ideas. All things
having permanent existence are ideas
in Mind, and will always remain in Mind.
‘Every plant of the field before it was in
the earth, and every herb of the field
before it grew,’ was thus embraced in
the divine intelligence. God is eternal
Life, and nothing dies but our miscon-
ceived, perverted view of existence. a.
travesty of God’s beautiful and ever—
;lasting creation. ‘Now we see through a.
glass, darkiy;‘ but when that which is
perfect is understood, when our vision
becomes cleared and we see through our
material surroundings, we shall know
that all things are spiritual and eternal,
and that not any least creature of God’s
creation can ever die.

“Christian Science teaches that in our
spiritual selfhood we are the ideas of
Mind. As a. statement of the present
moral order, we must earnestly seek to
acquire every virtue; nevertheless, in the
absolute truth of being, man is impelled
by the divine activity to express all
good. The Master said, “I can or mine
'OWn self do nothing;’ 'the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth the works:
1* * “ that the Father may be glorified
'in the Son.’ God is the only good, and
His goodness is made visible through us
and through all other real things. It is
,possible by an effort of the human will
‘to appear peaceful and patient, but We
cannot by our own exertions be peaceful
or patient; nor by the same means can
we possess faith, love, Joy and spiritual
power—these are qualities of the divine
Mind, and are seen in us not because
We try to express them, but because God
manifests them in His ideas.

Expressions of Mind.

”Similarly, the flowers, lakes. hm!
and trees do not by their own err-
deavors express the purity and beauty,
the strength and glory of the divine
Mind, but divine Mind may be re~
vealed to us through right concepts
of them. Man is the highest idea of
infinite Mind. and was made in His
image and likeness. If we, then, real-
ize to some extent that the infinite
Mind is here. and that our true self-
hood naturally manifests that Mind.
it follows that we have a certainty of
life, a consciousness of strength, ‘an
anchor of. the soul ’* " " which en-
tereth into that within the veil.’ W's
cannot by anyexertions on our part
reject mortality, with its sickness and
sin, and become at-one with God and
live henceforth as the expression of
divine Mind. God alone has made us
and all creation the manifestation of
Mind. In the knowledge of this Prin-
ciple of spiritual law there lies peace
and confidence and pOWer, from which
we cannot be parted by the Glamorous
waves and winds of material sense.

“Christian Science teaches that God
is the only Life; therefore, on Him
depends our existence. Having God,
we have all there is. ‘for of Him,
and through Him, and to Him, are all
things.’ God. then, is the source. of
our supply of truth. love, joy, peace,
and lie is our supply of? all the good
that 1,1,5 ever known. Living in
(Jud, no iivo abundance. To know
that God is here, that we are ideas in
and of divine Mind, and therefore mani-
festing this Mind, is fellowship divine.
To have fellowship with God is to
know God, and to know God is to have
everlasting life here and now. Know-
ing that life eternal is here, we know
that we live in the ‘house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens';
we see the new heaven and the new
earth wherein dwelleth righteousness;
we see the new Jerusalem, the holy
city; and the great voice from heaven
speaks gain for us: ‘Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and
he will dwell with them, and they shall
be his people, and God himself shall
be with them, and he their God.’

“The great value of Christian Sci-
ence teaching cannot be estimated
merely in its present effect upon mod-
ern human conditions. In the com-
plexities and perplexities, under tho
.pressure and strain of mortal con-
sciousness. the thought of the one in-
‘finiie Mind restores the soul (spiritual

In Memoriam

Many glorious tributes might be
written and many words of praise
uttered by the associates of Miss
Mary Bryan who has so recently
passed away, but there would be
none more meaningful than the one
she has written for herself—«the
beautiful perfection of her work.

Hers was a life devoted to the
service of others, both in private
and community affairs. Her exten-
sive knowledge in many fields, the
art of graceful expression and a-
devotion to her work, were used by
her in depicting the gaieties and so-
cial affairs of the people of this and
surrounding counties for the past
37 years.

But “the clear call” has come, and
the last beautiful page has been
written in “Letters of Gold," by the
one Great Author.

Editor Post: In your issue of the
twenty-first instant “A Daily Reader"
asks for the source of the quotation,
“Cleanliness is indeed next to godli—

He will find same in Bacon’s "Ad—

“SHIR T-SLEEVEijLOMA CY”
REAL AT BRITISH EMBASS

Editor Post: 113 Lord Northclifife had
chanced to be with me one (lay last
August he would never have presented
his baseless indictment of Sir Cecil
Spring—Rice. It was hot on that day as
‘ it can only be hot in mid—August. Busi—
ness took me to the British embassy,
Where I had an appointment with 0116 0f
the attaches.

From my boyhood T have heard the
expression "shirt—sleeve diplomacy,"
principally as applied to our own rep—
resentatives, but on that day I saw
“shirt-sleeve diplomacy" for the first
time and it was on British territory and
not American. The attache With Whom
T had an appointment was not only in
his shirt sleeves, .but he were no waist-
coat. During our talk it developed that
the matter about which we were con-
ferring had to be presented to the Am—
bassador and T found him on that day
also a living exponent of “shirt-sleeve

is only one way in which to determine
how the future of the United States is

looking back and seeing which way the
lines ran which led up to the present

we care to remember when we meas-

I wish that Whenever an impulse of
impatience comes upon us; whenever an,
impuso to settle a thing some short
way tempts us, we might close the
door and take down some old stories
of what American idealists and states-
men did in the past, and not let any
counsel in that does not sound in the
authentic voice of American tradition,

"Then we shall be certain what the
lines of the future are, because we shall

nent. I assure you, Mr. Editor, that it is
the exception to find courteous and
prompt. clerks in such branches of the
postorfice service. Washington, D. (3., is
no exception to the rule. At the post-
ot’ficc here near the Union Station. I have
been invariably compelled to wait until
the clerks either finished gossiping with
each other, 01' until whatever occupation
or pastime the clerk chanced to be en-
gaged in had been concluded. There is
just one man at the local general deliv-
ery who escapes this criticism in my
case. Discourtesy is the rule and not
the exception to be found in all post-
ofiices in this country outside oi! small
towns. It applies to stamp windows, reg-
istry departments, &c., as well as to gen-
eral delivery windOVVs. .

You can appreciate. Mr. Editor, that
mere assertion that these statements are
correct do not make them so, but per-
mit me to suggest that The Post make
it a point to inquire of men and women
whose business requires them to come
in constant contact with general deliv-
ery windows, and you will find my criti-
cism substantiated. POST «READER.

Editor Post: Please publish a few lines
in your paper relative to the minor em-
ployes in the government service in

cussion now going on with reference to
the Borland rider requiring 8 hours’ serv-
ice daily from the clerks. .

their employes. li‘ all work 8 hours,
how can business be done in the shops?
Railroads must readjust their schedules,

the situation might be noted, i. e., the
evident encroachment oi' the legislative

of any recommendation from the Presi—

ment, this drastic thing was sprung. it
not an encroachment, it was, at least, a
discourtesv to the executive branch of
the government. Why is it that so many
