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 1t possible for anyone to
believe as has been said, that Christ
Jesus healed through hypnotism
when hypnotism Is the dominating
activity Of the carnal mind, and the
Bible declares 1.-The carnal mind 10
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
its 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
he proceeds to correct the errors Of
belief with the Truth of being and
thus establishes harmony ON spir
