THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: SWJSS discussing the a i of Christian Science in i the world is ao largely interested.

Now the Scriptures imply that what the Israelites lacked wai the Christian teaching that "God la love," for "tie that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Jove." Moreover Paul declared that "love is the fulfilling of the law." Thus we learn that divine Love IB the benign presence that beats the sick, reforms the sinner anil fulfills the law Scientific Discovery. I have briefly presented this idea of divine IJLW, fulfilled in love, by war of anticipating the frequent remark that Christian Science is neither Christian nor scientific. What does It mean to have a Tou well know that a science Implies classified knowledge.

It is presentation of law In its i order, and system, and this Is precisely what Christian Science does. It presents divine law in its unity, order, and system, with such precision and accuracy that Christian ifbaling prevails by way of proof. It Is therefore eminently scientific; moreover, It is Christian because this lawi la not physical, but spiritual, divine, compassionate, and helpful. Every one would like to have the power to do the good that Jesus did; every one would be glad to understand the divine law well enough to beal and reform men as dtd the primitive Christiana, and when one does understand this law in Its spiritual sense, he is a Christian Scientist as truly as one who understands the mathematical law is a mathematical scientist. The ability to do the works of Jesus was lost through the idolatry and material- Ism of the dark ages, and no further progress couid be made until the rediscovery of their principle.

Jesus had promised to send another comforter, who shall guide all and this comforter could not appear without the manifestation of these of healing When Mrs Eddy rediscovered the principle of primitive Christian healing, she made the further discovery of its science, and called it Christian Science, It is indeed the "Spirit of truth," or comforter, which opens the way to all truth bv revealing the practical science of Christian haal- ingr. so that all may follow in the way of Christ Jesus. Spiritual Activity. When a man is suffering a burden of dlseate, he to know respecting the practical application of this law to his neefls--how it is that he may Have the assurance that God is Indeed "a very present help to trouble." Now never prays to have hfa problem In mathematics work itself out, for this woaW do away with the necessity Qt understanding. He the problem and also the and ha must act in obedience to the rale.

There must be a mental on his part; and when that activity the mathematical rule the correct solution is inevitable. In Christian Science we have divine law, and when we ara confronted by the problems of sin and disease, our next Important step is to act, or demonstrate this law. That which to It a healing effect is the energy of eternal spirit. The prophet Zecharlab voiced this Christian idea when he said, "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, salth the Lord" For "the hour cometh," said Jesus, "and now Is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth." When our spiritual (sense, which we ship God, la guided by the divine tow- that is, scientifically--Cnrlatian healing Is inevitable. It Is truly significant that Jeans opened his mission with Isaiah's prophetic -words.

"The spirit of the Lord Is upon me." From that moment he began to solve those problems through the destruction of sin and disease. He headed the cleansed the lapers, raised the dead, cast out devils Moreover he declared according to the revised version) "Qod is Spirit." It is to be noted that although Christian Science presents no new God, it does present several Scriptural names for rtelty. This doea not mean so many different gods, these are put human terms, used to define the one God according to His several offices. That Is, Truth is the law; Love fulfills law; Spirit demonstrates tbe science of the law, and so forth. To Illustrate: Let us suppose we have a six-sided room, with each side a mirror, and a.

lamp placed in the center of the room Each i will present a perfect reflection of the lamp, which will bs similar each to the others And yet, their office differs, for the reason that it Is the office of one to image or the north side, for another to Image or define the east side, and so on, all being- required to image or define the complete object. In like manner these synonymous terms for Deity necessary to present the complete nature and being of God, whereby we have the Scriptural definition that C3od Is all Mind, Spirit. Soul. Life, Truth, Love. Though differing In their office, we re cog lie tbat they are really Identical in their essence, for divine is indeed the Mind and Spirit which Is God.

It ts evident, therefore, that Christian Science teaches no new Qod, but It does present a new name which Includes these synonvmous terms for Diety, and that new Is Principle. It Is quite impossible to conceive of a divine law i a principle to govern that law, and therefore Christian Science teaches that God is i i Principle.

Those who will take part are Kenneth Col Hugs. George Nordlinger. George Bell, "Kr. Collins, the 1 Howard Harold. Dutton, Editor Post: The unification of mankind, which has been one of the great principles of many religions, is strongly emphasized In the Bahai revelation.

But this unification refers only to spiritual unity. Unification of outward form is not Intended and not desired. Unification of spirit is the ultimate goal. The diversity of the outward forms should be maintained. Hence, It Js not sought by these teachings that mankind should become one race, or even one nation; but that all men should live in a spirit of harmony and mutual tolerance Abdul Bah a has expressed himself upon the beauty and harmony in the diversity of a kind, bringing out this point strongly He says "The Creator of all is one god From Him all creation spiang into existence He is the one goal toward which everything in nature yearns, as In the words of Christ when He said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end' "Man is the sum of creation, and the perfect man is the expression of the complete of the Creator-the word of God "Consider the world of created beings, how varied and diverse they are In species, yet wLth one sole origin This diversity of type is apparent throughout the whole of nature Behold beautiful garden, full of flowers, shrubs, and trees Kach flower has a different charm, a peculiar beauty, its own delicious perfume and individual hue.

The trees, too, how varied are they In size, in form of growth. In foliage, and what i fruits they bear Yet all these flowers, shrubs, and trees come from the hand of one Creator, they spring from the earth, the same sun shines upon them, and the same clouds give them rain "So It Is with humanity It is made up of many races, and Its people are of different color, wjiite, black, yellow, bj'own, and red, but they all come from the same God, and all are servants to Him "This diversitv among the children of men has unhappily not the same effect as it has In the vegetable creation. There the spirit is more harmonious. But among men the diversity leads to animosity. it Is this that causes war and hatred among the different nations of the world.

Alas' that this should still be so Their i ferences, which are only those of tflood, cause them to destroy one another. If they would but look at the beauty in diversity, the beauty of harmony, and learn a lesson the vegetable creation! "If you beheld a garden in -which all the plants were the same aa to form, color, and perfume it would not seem beautiful to -you at all, rather, monotonous and dull. The garden -which ts pleasing to the eye and which makes the heart glad IB the garden in which are growing aide by side flowers, of every hue, form, and perfume, and the Joyous contrast of color Is what makes for charm and beauty So it is i trees An oj-dhard full of fruit trees of various kinds Is a delight.
