EXCERPTS FROM A Lecture on CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Entitled CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: Its Assurance of Guidance to Men By George Channing, C. S. B. of San Francisco, California Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston, Massachusetts.

As introduced by the First Reader, Mrs. Nellie H. Barnes, First Reader of First Church of Christ Scientist, Coral Gables, Florida, said: Good Evening Friends: We are here this evening as guests of First Church of Christ Scientist, Coral Gables, Florida. The members of this church, as well as of all Christian Science churches, have proven to some degree in their individual lives the healing power of Truth and Love. They are happy to welcome you this evening to hear how you, too may find the joy, peace, health and abundant good which is divinely yours as the child of God. Our speaker, a member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, has chosen as his subject Christian Science: Its Assurance of Guidance to Men. It is my happy privilege to present Mr. George Channing of San Francisco, California. God Guides to Success Does God guide you and me in to achievement and what is called success in daily activity? Yes; every right purpose must come to fruition. In our business, our associations, our enterprises, our work, all we have to do is to ask ourselves, "Is my purpose right?" Then, having taken our honest answer, conform our conduct to its leading. "How," do I hear you ask, "can one know if one's purpose is right?" By the simple, yet consecrated question, "Is the effect of what I am doing, or aiming to do, making more obvious to human thought the presence of God, divine Mind?" "Am I bringing out in me, through my enterprises, the qualities of God, thus proving without a doubt the reality and nowness of the cause or source of those qualities?" In this purpose, my friends, we cannot fail. Conform your business to it. Study the infinite implications of it, the wisdom that is synonymous with true, and the light you get and honestly use will bring more light for honest use, and more genuine achievement to be grateful for. Yes, the form of our activity may seem to change under that spiritual purpose pursued; but progress there will always be, satisfying and truly successful. "Progress is the law of God," says the Discoverer of Christian Science (Science and Health, p. 233); and we may rightly deduce that progress is essentially success. For progress is essentially an onward march toward the goal of eternal spiritual self-realization; and so long as the march is onward it is triumphant with achievement. Do you fear failure? Fear, rather, to let your thought wander spiritually from the spiritual path of progress. Success, as we have been speaking of it, is always present spiritually, and therefore arrives humanly. Failure never came, and cannot come, to any consciousness except the sensory consciousness of failure. Stick to your post, my friend—the state of consciousness which is your best effort to bear witness to the presence of God through expressing His qualities. Into this state of thought comes the guidance which shows its life-presence even in human experience, when we turn to the right hand and when we turn to the left. Guidance in truth is, as we have said, a quality of God; but such endurance, being in God, is not in time nor matter and can be shorn of the illusory appearance that it is. Such endurance is the perpetual, permanent, and joyous realization of the spiritual facts of being, in the presence of which we are able to operate and assert dominion over all the labor and distress we humanly encounter, until labor and distress vanish into their native nothingness. Evil Comes by Consent Do distress and labor in you or me except with our own consent. Do you believe that? All distress, all misfortune, being unreal, that is, unknown to true Mind, is, therefore, hypnotic; and that is why it has no spread upon or appear without the consent of its victim. And, who, pray, is its victim? Its own unreal self. For the hypnotized mentality is one, and what it seems to see and experience. Destroy the illusion of a hypnotized mentality and you destroy what it seems to see and experience. Therefore, if we do not consent to the supposed-to-be existence of a hypnotized mentality as ours, we shall not seem to see and experience what a hypnotized mentality claims to see and experience. Do I hear you say: "Hold on, Mr. Lecturer, there's something wrong here. I have been sick, but I never consented to be. I have been lonely, heartbroken, poor, the victim of other's adversity and limitation, punished for unintentional wrongdoing; but to none of these have I consented. No one in his right mind would consent to such." You are correct, my friend. Mortal so-called mind consents to such, and mortal mind is not right mind. It partakes in no sense of reality. It is a self-deceived illusion. Traffic not with it. If you let it sit in the seat of your mind, calling itself your mind and cheering itself that it is your mind, you will be consenting to the appearance that its pains and aches are yours. Consent to inharmony is obtained by fraud, misrepresentation, and deceit. Suggestions of evil come knocking at the door of consciousness, appearing to them-selves to be real. If we admit them we consent to discord in our experience. They rarely come, of course, in the guise of something we do not want. They come in the disguise either of inevitability or attractiveness. Death does not come saying: "I am without power, but I hope you will give me apparent power over you by agreeing that I am inevitable." Rather, does it seem to say, in effect: "I am life in matter, and you see me all about you everywhere. You are a witness to life's existence in matter and as matter, and since you see that matter dies, you must in end agree that you die, and you should be glad to assume that your pains and troubles will die with you." My fellow traveler, don't be trapped by that! For, if we aren't spiritual, the death which makes a mortal has no real, indestructible substance of life within itself. It is a process that operates only with its own agreement. If it were a reality, it would never end, since reality is indestructible. But mortal so-called mind is not reality. It is mortal and perishable. It has only the appearance of reality. If you know that life is not in matter, then you will see that life cannot die, for life is God, and life cannot die, because God is eternal. Life is perpetual and permanent. Death is an illusion, an unreality, a nothingness. It has no true source in God. Its source is only a hypnotized state of consciousness. "I am an illusion of impaired health, weakness, pain, and decay, and I beg you to be deceived into believing that I am real." Mortal senses, it seem to argue, in effect: "The evidence of my presence in the consciousness of mortals becomes so apparently real at times that mortal consciousness cannot, unless it chooses to be hypocritical, refuse to be convinced of my reality." Be alert, my friend. Hold your mind. Consent constantly is not your consciousness. Do you seek to punish others? That purpose is not divine; if you have thereby consented to it. Man, the true spiritual man, having his being in the divine mind, is divine, is created incapable of wrongdoing, and therefore incapable of being punished. If you believe otherwise, you have acknowledged your oneness with the deceptive mentality which agrees to punish and be punished. God does not punish. Therefore we must not pun-ish. For true punishment is self-inflicted; it never needs to be punished. His law is that that which believes in the real existence of imperfection shall punish itself until, consumed by its own suppositions and pains, or displaced in us by the Christ in us, it disappears in the nothingness which is its native state. Oh, yes, we do have to act wisely in daily contacts with men as mortals are understood, when God guides us to do so, which save our brother from invading upon himself the destructive effects of all sin's self-punishing nature. But our motive is never to punish. It is to free our brother, to show him how to escape, to recognize man's inability to do wrong—an inability which he is bound to realize and demonstrate by forsaking wrongdoing or the appearance of wrongdoing. We can never do this by punishment, so spiritually, that we separate man, ourself and our brother, from seeming identification with mortal-mindedness and, therefore, from its self-inflicted punishments. And this motive is not mere sentiment. For there is no escape from the rule pronounced by the Master, "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again" (Matthew 7:2). Vice, false appetite, lust, do not come saying: "I will rob you with a false sense of pleasure, but I shall at last give you the penalty expressed of craving to be utterly destroyed." Rather does it say: "Life is short, and I bring you good times to fill it; and don't let anyone tell you that they will not keep you entertained." Oh, the pity and fraud of it all! We glibly say we do not consent to evil, and yet we are constantly acknowledging that Life, Soul, Mind, Love, Principle, Truth, Spirit, are material, and are expressed in matter, constantly accepting that death is inevitable, and that mortal-mindedness, through its various forms of temptation, is able to trap us into consent to its lies. Let us Unmask Deception Let us unmask this deception, this imposition, this mortal-mindedness, by stripping its disguise, its nothingness, of reality in our thought, and let us thus truly withdraw our consent from its claims of inevitability. Let us rise in the strength of Truth to assert, accept, and acknowledge our true status. Let us know in ourselves that our thinking, our knowing, our awareness of being, derives from the only divine Mind, the one and only Mind, whose power is good, whose domination is infinite, and whose hallowed name is God. Forth from the privacy of such prayer, which should be constant and uninterrupted, will come the fruits of the gladness of true living, flow health, spiritual prosperity, powerful right guidance. Let us sincerely desire this consummation and honestly seek to attain it to the exclusion of all else. Guidance comes a constantly improving ability to seek it. And, co-ordinate with this improving ability, comes an increasing awareness that the windows of heaven which human consciousness is not great enough to receive in its entirety, but must, in receiving it, give way to the divine consciousness which is the blessing itself. The way is clear. It is not of human devising. It is of divine ordaining. It is the way of wisdom, of simple acceptance of Truth, of exclusion of all that is not in line with Truth—the way of all Science, which will in due time be seen to be the divine foundation, and which, in Mrs. Eddy's discovery, has already proved itself a way of unity with divine reality, which, of its own power, brings to fullness of understanding the Scriptural promise, "Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left"—when, if we may paraphrase specifically, when we turn from sickness to health, from failure to success, from dying to living, from distress to peace, from hate to love, from fear to understanding, from limitation to God. Why doesn't the world try true Christianity? Why don't you and I try it, my friend? The world to date of us is to a very profound sense, what we make it. It is, and must necessarily be, the objectification of our own state of consciousness. If our consciousness is a reflection of the divine, our world will be a place of triumph over evil, attained by our recognition of omnipresent spiritual force, which operates with unerring enemy by destroying the illusion that we have an enemy. Already some seekers for truth, honest workers in the realm of so-called physical and material science, are beginning to perceive that truth and good are to be realized only as God is first understood. Witness the words of the great Steinmetz, late far-famed head of the research laboratories of the General Electric Company, who declared, a few years ago: "Some day the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of God and prayer, and in the spiritual forces which as yet have hardly been guessed at. When that day comes, the world will see more advancement in one generation than it has in the past four." And his successor, Dr. W. R. Whitney, confirmed this conception in the following words: "The will of God, the law which we discover, but cannot understand or explain—that alone is final." Final, indeed, may I add, and also fully explained, as all will yet come to know, in Christian Science. The Key to Achievement Guidance is the key to achievement, and guidance, as we have said, is from God. Is it employment that seems lacking in you? Turn then to the divine Mind of man for its spiritual ideas abundantly supplied for our employment and activities? Your business is inherent in you, for the spiritual ideas you embody are created by the divine Maker, for His use, for His employment of man for expressing His presence. Be these ideas, my friend. Your fruitfulness, your loyalty, your honesty, your integrity, your wisdom, actively used, constitute the only employment you will ever have or that anyone can have. Employ these ideas right where you are, and they will become satisfyingly and gratifyingly manifest in daily separation, in revealing what is called your job. Is it friendship and love that seem lacking? Gather the spiritual ideas of God which lead you into the ways of loving and thus give you love in your life. Is it devotion, self-control, that seems absent? Then recognize and be grateful for the divine Mind's control of its creation, which is freedom to do right. If we are faithful over a few things, we shall become ruler over many. If we prove our sincerity by mastering the little enslaving habits we know we can master, shall we regard as too small to bother with, we shall then find power over the larger things unfolding in us. Is it patience and forgiveness that seem beyond your reach? Identify yourself as God's likeness, and let that likeness poise into joy and poise. Does the path seem covered with darkness? Be conscious of your reflection of divine presence, and your course will be flooded with marvelous light. Wherever we may seem to be, whatever may be the assertions of mortal sense, you and I, if our motives are properly examined for our unity with our divine source, will never lack the guidance of God, and never fail to find the course that proves the nothingness of mortal sense and the supreme power, and reality, and intelligence of spiritual sense. For to such as love God the promise is real. It has been and is being demonstrated by legions of honest hearts. It will be progressively proved by you, and me "Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

Teacher Housing Problem Solved

AUDUBON, Ia. (UP)—This town of 2,409 persons solved its teacher housing problem by construction of two modern duplexes—and it didn't take a bond issue to do it. Superintendent of Schools Allen N. Stroh said an idea, some ingenuity and a lot of hard work turned the trick. The duplexes cost about $15,000 and house four teachers and their families. They will have paid for themselves in 15 years at the fairyland rental of $30 per month per family. This was the situation last summer: Audubon had 10 men on its school faculty of 32. Nine were married and had families. Of the nine, Stroh had rented a home and two others courageously had bought homes. Six Families Left That left six families, including that of Don Stark, the high school industrial arts instructor and father of a new baby, faced with the typical situation in small communities—landlords considering them a short-term proposition, no in-laws to move in with and no hotels to live in while watching the want-ads. Stroh learned of surplus buildings for sale at Clarinda, Ia., by the War Assets Administration. The buildings were barracks, formerly occupied by Japanese and German prisoners of war. He sounded out the school board on buying them. The board decided not only to buy them but to tear them down, haul the lumber to Audubon and build the homes from scratch. Stark, an air force veteran, was made head of the project. Stark and Stroh bought the buildings for $327. They transported boys from the industrial arts classes by bus to Clarinda to dismantle them.
