Cause and Effect
We may read from the book Of He

of the If sing. whereby they made sac
riiice year after year tor the same sin
But Christ Jesus. manifesting the eter-

science once for all. ana once purged,
they had no more consciousness of
those sins either in mind or H. body
The apostle Paul has portrayed this as
the true healing. Instead Of continue

dealt with the mental causes ana when
he pursed the conscience OF sin il also
freed the body Of disease. indicating a
positive relation between sickness and
sin. For whether is easier 10 say. Thy

that God takes orr loved ones away
from u.s. and Christian Science wins
these good people back to the Fathers

never afflicted man with suffering

regarded both sin and sickness as be-
