DR. Fluno said. in part:
s'Christlan Science Is the science
of being IL is the law of life, truth
and love understood and demonstrao-
cd. Christian Science cannot fail. any
more than the science OF numbers
can fail. The eternal laws OF me-
truth and love having their iounda,

And because Christian Science Is
the eternal fact OF being, II does not,
| therefore. teach eternal banishment
| from God, or good but on the con-

| TO truth at last. God Is omnipotent,
and being yesterday. today and for'
ever the same, His omnipotence
therefore. forever has been and for
ever Will remain Hence. no other
power can be, no other power has
| ever been. no other power can ever
be able to stay His mighty hand. or
thwart Him in His purposes
Therefore, God and heaven are
and their opposite is not. and divine
science is the angel that comes TO

which is the devil and Satan and VIII
chain him and cast him into the bot,

Christian Science Not Mesmerism;
christian Science is not mesmef-
ism. mesmerisrn Is the belief or minds
many, that each individual has mind
Of his own. that the stronger mind
can influence and take unlawful con

! ing from appearance, would be the
natural inference. and If the senses
could be trusted. and appearances
we're reliable this would be the only
| conclusion that could be arrived at.
But we thank God. through Jesus
Christ. our Lord. that in the light OF
! Christian Science. the Rcyelator. that
mortal sense is found to be a non
reality. That the Bible and Science
and Health, corroboratlne the scrip
| tures. also the grand and unsurpassed
| demonstrations of Jesus and Apostles,
| and the corroborative testimonies of
healing through Christinn Science, all
teach and demonstrate that the One
| Mind has power over the carnal mind :,
| that the sense testimony is false, and
the Christ mind is true.
UScIcnce and Health and the Bible
when rightly understood. disclose the
| fact that God Is the only mind and
the so-called mortal mind is but the
| carnal mind that must be corrected
by the divine mind go that Chris
tIan Science, so far from being mes
merism; for. instead of teaching minds
| many. II teaches one mind, and that
the mind of, God. in whom no evil
| Is, no sickness, sin or death, which
mind must overcome and annihi'ate
the moral mind or negative mind. as
darkness IS swallowed up by light
And Christian Scientists. Instead OF
being mesmerists, arc finding their
/ way out of mesmerism, out of the
belief Of minds many, into the one
mind the mind that is Cod where all
so-called mortal minds are swallowed
up and lost In the one divine mind
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Christian Science is the scientific
knowledge of the law OF life reduced
to system and found practical, not
only in the. physical healing Of sick
ness and sin and all evil but In the
destruction Of them off the face o
the earth. that His kingdom come, and
His will be done on earth as it Is il
heaven And Christian Scientists al,
those who, 10 the extent that they
understand this great truth, are prac
ticing 1t upon themselves and others
who ask of them the same God''
blessing And hundreds are beint
healed every day. OF sickness as wei
as OF sin, and Of sin as well rs o
sickness. and these, in their turn, arr

how to apply it In their own case, ant
upon these, who in their turn shall

No Reality in Sin.
Christian Science teaches there 4
no reality in sin; that God made al
that was made, and all He made wa
good that Cod did not make sin, Il
