way socially, ia trying TO undo the
snarled labor problem, governmental

piled schools for the study Of the
word" Then why not seek the
truth about our bodily ailments and
their cure or alienation? Magnetic
and mental healing are scientific and
Biblical. Science is systematiaed
truth, as manifested under the opera
ton of law" The greatest obstacle
we find in the way of healing is the
mistaken notion that it is mystical,
occult, magical, OF capric.ous. Nothing
is further from the truth. The laws
that govern magnetic healing are as
exact as those of mathematics. Every
hour spent in the affirmation of the
ideal perfection of machine or the
healing of a body or a mind, tends di-
rectly to actualize those conditions.

tific.

relics), the result is none the less
logical
There is no fact better fortified
with evidence than that mental states
and qualities tend to embody them
selves.
LAS a man thinketh so is

sands of instances. illustrations and
analogies to prove the sequence to be
a scientific fact.

| The whole tenor of the Bible indi-
Gates that healing is expected as the
natural result of the quickened spir-
itual life. Preaching the gospel and
healing the sick are both included in
! the great commission. They are the
inner and outer sides of great whole.
The outer is the visible sign and attes-
tation of the genuineness of the spir-
itual and internal.
