Many professors of the Kwangtung University in Canton are resigning, owing to non-payment of salary for the laat four months. The students are be ginning to be dissatisfied with the instit tion also, it is said, because of the Red Kuomintang control of its affairs.
It is evident to any one who has studied the Scriptures closely that, when Jesus declared God to be Spirit he was not declaring God to be some indefinite ab- straction, but he was revealing and de- scribing the most certain, the most avail able, and the most stable entity that could possibly be imagined. Mrs Eddy has once and for alf taken this word "Spirit cut of the realm of mysticism and super stition and placed it in the realm of renson and science by explaining that Spirit is really divine Mind, or is the

It is his uncensing attempt to commune with the divine lind, God; and so to utilize the true Science which reveals true existence, the true theology which inevitably de- livers from sia, and the true healing power which always beals disease. The Christian Scientist's prayer is his persist- ent daily and hourly affirmation of divine Mind's infinite presence and power, and of evil's nothingness. It is his increasing knowledge of God and of absolute spiritual being, and before this the so- called carnal mind and its falsities of sense, material existence, sin. disease, and denth grow fainter and finally dis- appear.
