JESUS EsCHEwED HUMAN WILL.
1t is well TO know that the supposed
cause of disease obtains ia the mortal
mind and that the understanding Of the
divine Mind will cure it; but human
nature always finds somebody who
wants 10 climb up by some other way.
Such people hold that the spiritual
Mind is lit only for weak women and
children, but for the iaan with a belief
in personal magnetism the exercise of
hu-aan will seems more manly This
uDchristian belief in human will has
been seized upon as ready method for
competing with Christian Science in
casting out disease by mental process.
Various names have been nsed 10

peutic suggestion, psyeo-therapeutics
or Christian psychology. They are adj

by wicked man, an iniidel or a pagan
and therefore must be the polar oppo-
sites Of the Mind of Christ, for. "the
carnal mind is enmity against God
Human will is an animal propensity
which tries to dominate everything and
seeks TO exploit itself as some great
thing, but if ''the light that is 10 thee be

This blind belief in animal viii would
commit murder and do all manner of
evil 10 satisfy its own desires Its chief
characteristics are Inst and seltishness
AS an educated system, its more hidden
use is exploited in hypDo,ism and mes
merism, which are specifically defined
as animal magnetism. Think you that
this fabIemonger of mythicS is the pam
acea for the worlds ills?
Christ Jesus completely eschewed any
use of the carnal will, well knowing
that it possesses none of the Joy and
strength of divine Love which regener-
ates both mind and body. Indeed he
understood the powerlessness of human
will, for he said, II can of mine own
self do nothing: = because | seek
not mine own will, but the will of the
Father which hath sent me. Ii | bear
witness of myself. my witness is not
true"
Paul declared that the Uurighteous
mammon changed the truth of God
into lie, and worShipped and served
the creature more than the Creator "
Therefore the basis of all evil, animal
ity and disease is lie; without mind
intelligence or power. Therefore any
use of this animal viii or therapeutic
suggestion is lie about God or Truth.
This carnal mind being a lie, no one
can ever explain lie as something;
for no can understand his errors y
asked the psalmist 2 Truth on the
other hand can always be understood,
and the understanding of Truth casts
out error as dew before the sun We
are learning in Christian Science to
recover our divine Inheritance of do

in Consequence we are learning to
experience more of the JOY of that
blessed freedom from error by The
understanding of Truth.
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
We may read from the book of He
brews how that the figure of the law
never made the chosen people perfect
rather did it continually remind them
Of their sins, whereby they made sac
riiice year after year for the same sin.
But Christ Jesus, manifesting The
eternal spirit of the law, purged their
conscience once for all, and once
purged. they had no more conscious
ness of those sins either in mind or in
body The apostle Paul has portrayed
this as the true healing Instead OF
continually doctoring effects Christ
Jesus dealt with the mental causes,
and when he purged the conscience OF
SIN it also freed the body Of disease
indicating positive relation between
sickness and sin, For whether is cas-
Ter to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee;
or to say. Arise, aud walk" Thus il
is that Christian Science heals both
physically and morally.
There are many who really believe
that God visits sicknes and death up.
on humanity 1t would startle many
TO learn of the large number of excel
lent people who are driven annually
into infidelity by the cold and cruel
assertion that God takes our loved
ones away from us; and Christian
Science wins these good people back
to the Fathers kingdom BY proving
