 neighbor, had known the treatment l was undergoing. and requested the privilege of examining me. The priv l ilege was granted, and at the termin- alton of his examination he said a miracle had been worked for me, for I was as perfect d physical speci- men as he had ever examined. That was in March, 1885, and from that day to this Christian Science, as re- vealed to the world through Mrs
 Eddy, has met every diseased con dition that has presented itself to me. has destroyed it and left me free
 During all these intervening years have seen continued evidence that Gods word is efficacious in the de- struction of all the ills to which flesh is heir. I have seen cancer, tuberculosis. lOcomotor ataxia. deaf ness, blindness, paralysis, drunken ness, insanity and immortality de stroyed. l have seen men and women made well morally and phy- sically. just by the inflow of divine ted in Christian Science, and my con tinued study of the subject makes me entirely sure that Christian Sci ence. both practically and transcend ently. is the most precious of all the good Of which human consciousness may conceive.
 Christian Science and the Bible.
 IL is said that Christian Scientists do not use the Bible; that all they use is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" written by Mrs Eddy. No statement could be more untrue. because the disclosure of the spirit of the Word which mak- eth alive-and that is what Christian Science is-comes only as the result of continuous study of the Bible with the aid of the Christian Sci ence textbook. which is what it's title indicates. Key tO the Scrip lures"
 Nearly all denominations have their Bible helps" prepared for the ny .ra presumed to have knowledge of the spiritual teaching contained in the Scriptures. Science and Health" is the Bible help" of the Christian Sci enlist: il is the book with which the Bible is studied. and it has rent the veil of mystery surrounding the let ter of the word from top 10 bottom, revealing the spiritual import Of the Scriptures. disclosing to us the holy of holIes." wherein God is re- vealed to us as no longer an un- known God, no longer a.

 Christ Acknowledged in
 Christian Science.
 It is frequently alleged that Chris tian Science denies God and the Christ; in refutation of this state ment, desire to say that God is re- ferred to over twelve hundred times | dred times in the Christian Science | text book. an average of over three | and Jesus the Christ over eight hun times to every page thereof, and | every reference to either cd or | Christ brings out a more talted | thought than the world has hereto fore known. If one will procure | copy of Science and Health with l Key to the Scriptures" written by | Mrs. Eddy. and read her definition | of God CD. 5S7) and of Christ | Cp. 5S3). he will never question the | accorded them in the | teachings of Christian Science.
 God and Man.
 Because Christian Scientists de- 1 clare that the real man is one with | God this statement has been used as | d foundation for the claim that | Christian Science is hut a restate- 1 ment of Oriental philosophies. where | in it is taught that man reaches the | highest state of existence when he | forgets that he has ever lived and is | absorbed into Diety. The teachings | of Christian Science are absolutely | opposed to such an idea. They lead | us to think of man as one with God | in the sense that the idea is one | with the mind that conceives it-no i part of the mind, but inseparable | from 1t: and 80 it Is with man, Gods | idea, His image and likeness. He | is inseparable from God, the Mind. | the creator which conceived him, but | in no sense a component part of God. | In no sense is his individuality ever | lost, for it is as eternal as the Mind | that created him.
 The Unreality of Sin, Disease
 and Death.
 Probably nothing has been more | by people than the statement made by Christian Scien- lists that sin, disease, and death are not realm fact, are nothing but false beliefs. When this statement is understood, it stands out in bold relief as honoring God by recogniz- ing in deed as well as word His om- impotence. omniscience, and omni- good, wherein there is neither elemental evil nor a con sentive passivity which seems to rec ognize evil and permit it's existence. Christian Science gives us but one standard of measurement, and that 1
