Who will stop the practice of sin so long as he believes in the pleasures of sin? When mortals once admit that 40:1 evil confers no pleasure, they turn from it. Remove error from thought, and it will not appear in effect. The ad- 40:3 vanced thinker and devout Christian, perceiv- ing the scope and tendency of Christian healing and its Science, will support them. Another will say: 40:6 "Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season I will call for thee." Divine Science adjusts the balance as Jesus adjusted 40:9 it. Science removes the penalty only by first removing the sin which incurs the penalty. This is my sense of divine pardon, which I understand to mean God's method 40:12 of destroying sin. If the saying is true, "While there's life there's hope," its opposite is also true, While there's sin there's doom. Another's suffering cannot lessen our 40:15 own liability. Did the martyrdom of Savonarola make the crimes of his implacable enemies less criminal? Suffering inevitable Was it just for Jesus to suffer? No; but it was 40:18 inevitable, for not otherwise could he show us the way and the power of Truth. If a career so great and good as that of Jesus could not avert a 40:21 felon's fate, lesser apostles of Truth may endure human brutality without murmuring, rejoicing to enter into fellowship with him through the triumphal arch of 40:24 Truth and Love. Service and worship Our heavenly Father, divine Love, demands that all men should follow the example of our Master and his 40:27 apostles and not merely worship his personal- ity. It is sad that the phrase /divine service/ has come so generally to mean public worship instead of 40:30 daily deeds. Within the veil The nature of Christianity is peaceful and blessed, but in order to enter into the kingdom, the anchor of 41:1 hope must be cast beyond the veil of matter into the Shekinah into which Jesus has passed before us; and 41:3 this advance beyond matter must come through the joys and triumphs of the right- eous as well as through their sorrows and afflictions. 41:6 Like our Master, we must depart from material sense into the spiritual sense of being. The thorns and flowers The God-inspired walk calmly on though it be with 41:9 bleeding footprints, and in the hereafter they will reap what they now sow. The pampered hypo- crite may have a flowery pathway here, but 41:12 he cannot forever break the Golden Rule and escape the penalty due. Healing early lost
