 the assurance that God is Love: that
 He has nothing to do with evil: and this teaching took away my disease and my suffering. and took with it
 my fear. my dread Of Cod Chris | tian Science came to me, and gave
 me God. and when l tell you this as my experience, l am telling you the experience of countless thousands all over the globe. Is il any wonder that we love the one who has been so selfless and so faithful in her en-
 deavor that through il God has come to Us. that salvation has been brought within our apprehension? We gre willingly, joyfully obedient to her every teaching, because it is through her continued labors for over forey years that the mystery of the way of salvation has been removed and the glory of God again been made appar- ent to mankind
 Material Remedies.
 Respecting the claims of materia medica. We can but ask: If God put drugs on the earth to preserve and save the life of mankind. why did Jesus. who came doing the will of the Father. fail tO use them in the healing which he accomplished? Jesus never used anything for the healing Of man kind from disease other than the word of God. Here some one may ask. Did not Jesus use material remedies when he put clay and spittle on the blind mans eyes? Now. this case when understood, is one of the most won derful lessons in the whole Bible Do Nyp hali II hon he put the clay on the mans eyes. il would restore his sight? If we do. then we believe this was an instance in which Jesus failed to foreknow what would happen, for according to the story, the clay failed to accom- plish anything. Drl the blind man see while the clay was on his eyes? No, Not until. in obedience to the command of Jesus. he went to the pool of Siloam and washed off the clay did the blind man see
 Jesus thus taught us that as we cast aside all material remedies. no matter how simple. and go in the way of his appointing. blindly though il may be at first. our obedience will open the eyes that see not. and we shall behold the glory of God and of His Son the living Christ. This is one of the few places in the Bible where not only the word but it's mean ins is given: Go wash in the pool of Siloam." which means sent. was the command of Jesus. The man obeyed: and when he had washed. he saw Manifestly il was not the clay. nor was il the water: it was his bedience to the word of God, as it came to him through Christ Jesus. which made him whole. Instantly our thought goes back to the story of Naaman. the leper who came to Elisha to be healed. The prophet sent word to him that he was to go and wash in the river Jordan seven times The story intimates that he was angry at this advice. declaring that the waters of his own country were better than the waters of Jordan He evidently wanted to be healed in his own way; but he was prevailed upon to he obedient to the word of God. as il came to him through the prophet. and he went and bathed in the river Jor- dan. and came forth every whit whole. 1
