and morality, and purer idea Of
right and righteousness, than the civ
ilized world in its highest sense has
ever conceived Of.
And not far removed from this great
need, Is enother one, that has been
recognized from time immemorial and
that is the thing that everybody
wishes everybody else would do, but
never does il himself everybody
wishes, Folks would mind their own
business" but no one has ever quite
been able to accomplish that require
ment himself; indeed, it il about as
impossible for mortal man, in and Of
himself 10 mind his own business, as
for water Of itself 10 rise higher than
its source.
Christian Science helps people 10
mind their own business; and reminds
them very forcibly u their faults when
they get 10 minding other peoples busi-
ness.
The world needs Christian Science
today, not only TO heal its sick, but 10
heal its healers. The physician Is az
much in need Of the healing power Of
truth and life as the sick can possibly
be-.
The civilized, and so-called Christian
World Of today, has gone mad on the
physiological, pathological, surgical and
medical education, Of which they all
need very much 10 BE- healed. Every
theory or course Of reasoning that be-
gins with matter, a material body or
material thing, begins wrong; non-intel-
ligent matter cannot be made the basis
Of any intelligent course Of reasoning !;
non-intelligence cannot be made the
basis Of intelligence; matter cannot be
made the basis Of mind consequently.
no solution or conclusion arrived at from
the basis of body or matter can be cor
rect.
And for this reason, the sick are help
lessly sick, and the physician helpless 20
heal IL In case Of the "blind leading
the blind, and both fall into the ditch"
And Christian Science comes today, 10
rescue the world from that dreadful
ditch Of physiology, pathology, surgery
and materia-medica, sickness and medi-
cal healing into which il has fallen,
wherein II IL wallowing aud from which
IL cannot extricate itself

Of discord; Of pain or Of pleasure. The
inertia, aud consequent nOn.intelligence
OF matter, has been taught even in
physics through many years; and yet
the whole world is looking down into
matter for health, happiness and life,
and the whole world IL thereby being
deceived, and hence, led deeper and
deeper into the vortex OF the very macl-
strom they are trying to extricate them
selves from, and will not be- able, be-
cause they stand on sinking sand.
Under the medical regime Of four
thousand years, not only sickness and
mortality is increasing, but diseases
themselves are multiplying, and IL is
question today, which was first the
physician, the medicine or the disease
When doctor comes into country
town, where no doctor has been, and
the people were in the habit Of being
we'll then the inhabitants begin 10 get
sick doctor has come 10 town, and the
thing To do, is to be- sick enough To call
in the physician.
To this end let mo quote from DR..
James Johnson, surgeon-eXtraordinary
10 the King lie says, "l declare my
conscientious opinion, founded on long
observation aud reflection, that II there
were not a single physician, surgeon,
apothecary, manmidwile, chemist, drug

there would be- less sickness and less
mortality.

tion and We nj once see that there is no
possible and hnal way, but, for that to
como to the world that will eliminate
both the cause and the effect; both the
sickness and the treatment; both the
remedy and the disease; aud nothing
can possibly accomplish this thing, but
that that will lift us from ourselves; and
Christian Science comes 10 the world
today 10 an this very need.
Christian Science, Tho Science OF
Being, comes 20 the world today, 10
prove and demonstrate beyond all cayil,
beyond all controversy, that sickness
and disease is an illusion. and does not
belong 10 the great fact oi being; and
therefore no medicine Is needed, but the
knowledge Of the truth that shows the
