IS WISDOM'S WAY OF PRESENTING HERSELF. VOL. 10. JANUARY, 1898. No. 4. All who have read the masterly address by Henry Drummond, "The Greatest Thing in the World," have loved it, and have re-read it because they were thankful in their hearts for the good felt from its first reading. The following is what the first part of the address suggested to me to say, from the principle of Being, upon its second reading: It was delivered at the First Divine Science Church of San Francisco, Sunday, December 5th, 1897. ALL The Greatest Good in the World. "Behold what Manner of Love the Father hath bestowed upon us." LL is good; is a statement Scientists love to make, and when made with understanding, the speaker knows that the statement embodies Su. preme Being, all creative action and creation-the whole; the "I am, beside whom there is none other"--the Good One. In a knowledge of the truth of this all inclusive statement, the eternal good is manifest before us, and its acknowledgment is once only, for it is of the eternal and for all time. To shape our lives-guide ourselves mentally in word and way-by the meaning of this comprehensive statement, is the noblest object, the divinest motive, the purest purpose. We have been accustomed to be told of various things that constitute the good of the world; some would have us think that money has the greatest practical power for good, and is the main thing to be obtained to give prestige and influence, and to be looked to as a source for the good things hoped for in "this life." But money being an effect, something produced by a cause, made by a maker, and used by a user, it is only a medium of exchange in the hands of its source; hence to claim it to be the inclusive power for good is, in belief, to invert its use. The attempt to place the value of a cause upon it, is virtually an attempt to surrender the power of self-dominion; to subject the user to its use. Others have said education is the greatest power for good in the world. "Get an education and you will have power," is the claim generally made. But appearances are so frequently in opposition to this statement that it causes one to pause and question. There are just as many among the highly educated people of the world who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and who are seeking, hoping and praying for an unrealized goodfor some blessing to fall upon them-as there are among those not so highly educated; just as many among the first mentioned who need to know the Truth and its blessed freedom, as there are among the second. Since education means to draw forth and bring out what is potential within, that which is called out in judgment from observation can never be the ultimate and unfailing good of the world. While it is true that true education is the bringing forth of innate possibility, a knowledge that we are Divine possibility, all that eternal good implies, and that our only nature is love, is the ultimate good of knowledge, the absolute good that to know makes free. What is the Supreme Good manifest in the world? Is it not Being, the nature of which is Love? Is it not Being, the thinking and mental action of which is Love, and whose words and deeds are those of Love? Is it not what we are and what we think and do in Spirit and in Truth? Christianity at its source is found based in Supreme Being, and there we find that thinking, to be of value, must commence where all things commence; that statements that have meaning represent the true nature of Being, and through the practice of the Truth of what we are, ever acting from Divine Cause, we find the way by which all things are brought into existence, and by which to actualize the greatest good of our eternal self-hood, even Love. And with Paul we can say, "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Love, I am nothing." This broad declaration was made from deep realization of Life and Law, and not from mere sense judgment. Paul contrasts all these statements with Love-not that he would do away with them, but that he might exalt Love as the all-inclusive, that which is faithful and true in all the walks of life—as the law which may be fulfilled in one word, as the commandment of Jesus to his disciples, "That ye love one another as I have loved you;" and "These things I commend you, that ye love one another." Supreme Being can have no law save that of its own nature-infinite Spirit can have no law save its inherent possibility. So far from Paul making a claim too high for practical use, he deliberately contrasts the gift of prophesy, un larstan ling of all mystery, all knowledge and all faith, with Love. Tais evidently was done that he might show Love to be the law of God, the only one there is to make practical. "Now abideth Faith, Hope, Love, and the decision is, the greatest of these is Love." "And though I bestow all my goods to feel the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing." The reason why it profiteth "me" nothing is, because the nature of all these qualities of Being are fully demonstrated only in Love. All who are awake with consciousness of Divine Being know and declare that the law of the universe-which is its unfailing and unchanging principle of good-is Love. So, Paul, in speaking to the Corinthians, was not alone in the declaration of the greatest of these being Love. We are told in Proverbs that “ Hatred stirreth up strifes, and Love covereth all sins.” And it is recorded that the Lord appeared of old unto Jeremiah and gave this message: "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn thee." And in the Gospel according to St. John, Jesus said: "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another;" and again, "If ye love me keep my commandments." Divine Science proves to each and all that justice is the outworking of the law; that what is due to each one is rendered to every effort according to what the effort is in its nature to the Spirit of Truth. So, we are told, "God is Love, and he who loveth knoweth God." It is Science that declares that, would we do unto our God and Father-source and Cause-as we would have Him demonstrate His law in us, it is essential that we do just what we would have Him do, and if we want to realize that the law of God includes our existence in its demonstrations, we must include His law in the demonstrations of our existence. Thus do we find the way of life. That the advice given to the Romans by Paul was according to Divine Science; that the law of Being renders to all their just dues: "Owe no man anything but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." "For this thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false witness; thou shalt not covet;" and if there be any other commandment it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore Love is the fulfilling of the Law." Knowing as we do, that now is the accepted time, that the Eternal Now is the only time of realization, we know as it was declared by Paul, "It is high time to awake out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” So, friends, since Love is One and is God, it is the love of Christ that constraineth us. For the judgment of Truth is, that they who live, live not unto themselves, but are alive with Christ in God. For they who live, live unto God.
