In the history of the black plague
N London we learn that a large pro-
portion OF those who died at that
llat. me did so solely because Of
tAeir rear of the plague, and not be-
atise ,hey had it.
An old Arabian fable, an1edating
tl, Christian Era by hundreds Of
Years. relates that a man coming out
from the city met two spcctres going
in. He stopped them and asked
them their names. One said "My
name is Cholera" and the other said
My name is Fear" The man asked
why they We're going into the city.
Cholera said, Il am going to kill one
man and Fear said, Il will kill the
rest"
The medical fraternity is very
familiar with the history of the fol-
lowing case:
An English criminal, condemned
10 die, was told by some students that
he was to be bled to death. lie was
blindtolded, his arm scratched with
a lancet, and then a small stream of
warm water was run over his arm,
the students telling him it was his
blood. In a short time the man was
dead. He died from the belief and
fear that he must necessarily die
from the effects of the supposed loss
of such quantities of blood, when, in
reality, he had lost only a few drops.
Until we cease accusing God of be-
ing the author Of all sin and sickness,
until we cease believing that He
sends suffering, and cease pleading
with Him to remove any of those
things He has sent us, and thus lose
His immutability, we shall never es-
cape the bondage of fear nor realize
our God-given dominion and mastery
over ourselves which Jesus taught
us to be our birthright.
Christian Scientists have the right
understanding of God. They know
that sooner or later the
continued scientific demonstration
they are making over sin and disease
will permeate all consciousness, and
mankind be lifted into the realization
of righteous health.
In the increasing longevity so an
parent in the last twenty years, and
which cannot be accounted for by any
human line of reasoning, we see the
natural outgrowth ;: the increasing
faith i'll Scientific Christianity, where
in We learn that Life is Eternal, and
the near approach of that time fore
told Of Isaiah wherein he says "Thera
shall be no more thence an infant of
days, nor an old man that hath not
flled his days: for the child shall
die an hundred years old: but the
sinner being an hundred years old
shall be accursed.''
You will be convinced of the work
Christian Science is doing in this di-
%rection it you attend a Wednesday
night testimonial meeting in a Church
OF Christ, Scientist, and hear from
the lips of the people themselve s
what this Word of God has raised
them from and the added years of
life it has given them.
The Christian Science text book,
Science and Health, with Key to
the Scriptures" has broken the seals
of mystery that have made the Bible
q misunderstood and unread book;
has made the mission of Jesus of
daily practical benefit, and has
taught the ascendency of the law of
life and its dominion over the So
called law of sin and death. Chris
tlan Science teaches that works, not
words, deeds. not promises, are nee
essary to the working out of the prob
lens of salvation, and that this sal
Walton is from all that is mutable and
imperfect, no matter whether YOU
cal. it sin or sickness.
Jesus never did a thing we cannot
do II we are willing to take up the
same cross He did and undergo the
same modification of the flesh. This
fact is clearly indicated in His state
ment, ale that b~elieveth on me, the
works that l do shall he do also, and
greater works than these shall
he do"
Mrs. Eddy stands pre-eminent as
the greatest b%enefactor the world has
ever known since Jesus was on earth
because she has made clear the way
IN which to do not only the works He
did, but the greater works" OF His
promise. The greater works" than
those which Jesus did are those
works which SO reveal the Principle
which worked through Him that it's
individual application is possible.
