tolioWS therefore tnat even surgery |
may prove indirectly the mental ma !
ture of disease.
Various experiments are now be- |
ing employed by our leading medical |
schools to prove the mental nature
of disease, but all these experiments !
have nothing to do with Christian !
Science They merely indicate what |
| physicians themselves are coming to
recognize concerning the mental ma
ture of disease. From this they have
reasoned logically that to doctor
physical effects, without removing
their mental cause is not true heal,
ling. Christian Science in removing
the mental cause by the power of the
divine Mind removes both cause and
effect. Others have sought to accom-
dish this same end by various men
tai methods, including human will.
| This leads us to recognize with Paul
| Two types of mind, For to be carnal-
Y minded in death, but to be spiritu
ally minded in life and peace" Then
how shall We distinguish between the
| carnal and the spiritual? BY their
fruits We shall know them Some
Of the fruits of the carnal mind are
| envy, jealousy, greed. ingratitude, re-
venge and so forth. which make for
| sin and death; brt the fruits of the
spirit are honesty. goodness. mercy,
Justice, loving kindness and so forth
which make for life and peace. Then
,sk yourselves, which mind is govern
ing you? Is the earnal mind with
| Is train of fear, sin and disease? or
| it the spiritual mind; the same
spiritual mind which Jesus needed to
| open to his disciples; the same spir
itual mind which demonstrates the di-
| vine law in health peace aYl loving
lindness? Just ask yourselves which
mind is it that is governing you, the
arral or the spiritual?
Human Mind Not Regenerative.
The observation that disease is
mental has aroused the frequent re-
mark We'll, Ii pain is all in the
| thinking, just think you are we'll and
YOU will be So" Now the same ig-
| norant belief that causes disease can
| never cure it. for, If thinking you are
well is all that IS necessary. and it
| Gould be so arranged at twelve o'clock
| tonight to have everybody think they
| lre we'll, then all the pain and suffer
ng in the world might be wiped out
| n single night. But the most mas
| terful logic of material philosophy
| "an never convince a suffering man
| that his pain is not real for the same
mind that produced disease can never
destroy it. Only the spiritual Mind
IS taught by Christ Jesus can uncover
sin and diseas and destroy them,
and that Mind which was in Christ
Jesus has stood forth in bold relief
throughout the Christian era as the
panacea for the worlds Ills There
fore '1et this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus"
Christian Scientists do not go to
The sick bed with the heartless asser-
ton, Nothing ails you Jesus had
compassion for those who were
| 1ound. He never healed a man by
ignoring his difficulties, but by recog-
nizing in that bondage a problem
which needed to be solved in obedi
anoe to divine law, and not from ig-
norant belief. for the spiritual under
standing of this law exposes the
lothingness of evil and dssolves it

Jesus Eschewed Human Will.
1t is well to know that the supposed
| cause Of disease obtains in the mortal
mind and that the understanding of
| the divine Mind will cure it: but hui
man nature always finds somebody
who wants to climb up by some other
way Such people hold that the
spiritual Mind is fit only for weak
women and children. but for the man
with a belief in personal magnetism
The exercise Of human will seems
more manly. This unchristian belief
| in human viii has been seized upon
as a ready method for competing
with Christian Science in casting out
disease by a mental process. Various
names have been used to designate
these efforts such as therapeutic sug.
gestion, psycotherapeutics or Chris

be the operation OF the human will or
'arnal mind and may be operated by

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 in
'hee be darkness, how great is that
darkness. This blind belief In ami
nal will would commit murder and
10 all manner of evil to satisfy It's
own desires. Its chief characteristics
are lust and selfishness. As an edu-
Gated system its more hidden use is
exploited in hypnotism and mesmer
