ken great step forward. The next
step ID to learn what is true and
real and thus correct our impressions
and obtain a truer Consciousness OF
existence.
ts What Is Mind:
The ordinary human concept OF
mind is that which thinks. feels or
wills, the intellect. or the activity
Of the gray matter called brain.
Christian Science reveals the fact
| that Mind is divine Principle, the
infinite Life, Truth. Love, omnipo-
tent, omniscient. onnipresent, the
all-inclusive. eternal, underchansing
all-yise being. the only cause and
creator.
This is a very different Mind
from that which is supposed to re-
suit from, the action Of the gray
| matter
Christian Science makes it clear
that material existence is not the
manifestations OF this divine Mind,
but the phenomenon of the counter
felt, called mortal mind.
1T is this false concept of exist.
encA that does all the wrong think
ing; that believes in sin, diseate anc
death: that claims there is life aud
Intelligence in matter.
Since God is Mind, this Mind is
good. and its effects must alwayl
be good, never evil As real think
ing is the activity OF the divine
Mind. the only real thoughts O.:
ideas are good. Therefore every-
thing that is evil, pertains to evil
or results in evil is not Mind por
included in Mind. hence is not real.
Human thought. will power, hypno-
tisra. mental suggestion or magnet
Ism are all capable Of evil, and hence
are not Mind or the activity Of
Mind. are not Of God. and SO are not
good but essentially and entirely
| evil.
| Healing Methods.

TESTS itself even in worse forms.
The patient is no better Off, he has
net risen in the scale of being, he
has no mere manhood, or moral
courage, and does not know any

before,
The true CHRISTIAN Scientist re-
fleets the divine Mind stands on the
basis Of God. mar and the universe
as. Spirit and spiritual, as Love and
it's manifestation. as Mind and its
ideas--perfect and harmonious.
Hence he understands the unreal
ity Of matter and evil and knows
taht man is not sick but that the
patient is simply suffering from
false .mesmeric belief. From that
standpoint he proceeds 10 correct the
errors of belief with the Truth OF
being and thus establishes harmony
on a spiritual, scientific basis.
This is cardinal point in Chris
titan Science healing, that it is God.
divine Mind, that does the healing
and not human thought. In Chris
tian Science healing the human sense
serves only as vehicle for Truth.
1t is the Truth alone that effects re-
suits.
| Another cardinal point in Chris
tian Science healing is that it works
from the standpoint Of the unreality
OF matter and evil and thus proves
Jthe allness and supremacy Of God.
1t includes the knowing and affirm
alton Of Truth; the recognition and
denial of error.

revelation of the demonstrable
Christ Truth. which Is contained in
her wonderful book Science and
Health, with Key to the Scriptures
and her other writings. but for her
