' -Si Bart k Bible Comment: Lord's Prayer Outlines Ideal' World for Us TTTHEN we make that petition . which is the Lord's Prayer, what do we moan by it, and what should it mean to us? One thing is certain. When we make that prayer in sincerity and truth the Kingdom has al ready arrived in our hearts and lives. The Rule of Christ, His law of love, and the following of His example, give evidence of our place in the Kingdom, which is above all kingdoms, and whose King is supreme. If that rule is firmly estab lished in ourselves it becomes a yearning, a passion, and a prayer that it might be established in all hearts, and in all the affairs of men. It is this yearning and prayer that is so well expressed in the interpreting petition, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." There was a time not long ago when allegiance to the Kingdom of God conflicted with the al legiance to most of the kingdoms of earth. In too many countries that conflict still continues, or has been reasserted, under cruel dictatorships in which godless philosophies and attitudes are manifest in suppression and per secution. But today, in such democra cies as Canada, the United States and Great Britain the evidence of almost revolutionary progress is seen in the fact that such con flicts of allegiance have almost completely disappeared. If it were not for all the evil' that democracy has not yet con quered, we might well say:, "Would that all nations and peo-; pies were as we are." However, evil carries within itself the seeds of destruction, and . so in faith and hope we must pray that some day we may realize the Kingdom of God in full, in our every acl and deed.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject of the lesson-sermon to be read at Christian Science services Sunday. Man's God-given dominion ov er materialism,' including the so called laws of chance and mis fortune", is brought out in the readings from the Bible, among which is the account of Paul's restoration of Eutychus, the young man who "fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. (Acts 20). Correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy include the following (424:5) : "Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind, and we must leave the mortal basis of belief and unite with the one Mind, in order to change the notion of chance to the proper sense of Gods unerring direction and . thus bring out harmony."
