Healing Methods,
The difference between the method
of healing through mental suggestion,
or hypnotism, and that of the divine
Mind, the Christ healing, must be
clearly seen.
When the effort is made to heal by
suggestion, the operator endeavors by
means of hypnotism to make the
patient believe that he Is not sick.
He attempts to change the belief but
the cause of disease remains and in
time manifests itself even in worse
forms. The patient is no better off,
he has not risen in the scale of
being, he has no more manhood, or
moral courage, and does not know
any more about God and His Christ
than before.
How Is it possible for anyone to
believe as has been said, that Christ

when hypnotism Is the dominating
activity of the carnal mind, and the
Bible declares 1.-THE carnal mind is
enmity against God?" How could
Jesus as the Son of God use a power
that is opposed to God? He said
"Of mine own self can do nothing.
The Father in me he doeth the
work"
1t may be needless to say that the
teachings of Christian Science are in
no wise the same as those of the EN-
manuel Church Movement. The pro-
jectors of that movement themselves
have emphatically declared this.
Christian Science Healing.
The true Christian Scientist re-
fleets the divine Mind, stands on the
basis of God, man 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 unreality
of matter and evil and knows that
man is not sick but that the patient
is simply suffering from false mes
meric belief. From that standpoint
he proceeds to correct the errors of
belief with the Truth of being and
thus establishes harmony ON a spir-
itual. scientific basis.
The patient Is not improved mere
ly physically, but morally and spirit
ually as well, because the divine
Mind, God, has reached his con-
seriousness. His belief in matter, sin
and disease Is lessened and the I'M
derstanding and love of God, of His
Christ, and of the Bible is greatly in
creased. He has begun to let that
mind be in him which was also In
Christ Jesus, the Sound mind which
st. Paul declared God has given us.
Correction Fundamental, Not
Superficial.
Through Truth, the Christian Sci
enlist overcomes error, whether in
the form of sin or disease. He rec
ognizes what is wrong and proceeds
to correct 1t. This correction results
in harmony of mind and body.
would persuade the sufferer that he
Is all right, that he does not suf-

knowing how to correct the error In
thought which produces the outward
trouble.
Such mistaken method can never
bring about radical improvement In
wrong conditions of business or body
for its only effect is temporarily to
mesmerize those concerned into ac-
cepting one belief for another The
attempt to destroy false belief In any
other way than by means of Truth
does not heal and is dangerous.
In true Christian Science healing
divine Truth corrects error, good
