taught her by Phheas p Quimby.
which mixture constitutes her 30
called Christian Science. They know
that faith and cleansing from sin are
inseparably connected with every heal
ing mentioned in the Bible. but Chris
tian Science leaders seldom. II ever,
mention the cleansing Of sin to pa
tient, and these healers treat patients
irrespective OF their faith In the sys-
TEN. Also they know that the Chris
tian Science healer rs a novice ac-
complishes his purposes by mental
suggestion. but that such a healer. II
strong mentally. soon develops into

when crossed. can place NJ his mercy
BY the spell OF hypnotism many who

are In delicate health. or who have
submitted themselves to repeated

1t is well understood that to teach
or heal without pay is very ''unscien-
tific" in the Scientist church. and is
condemned by the leaders; but intel.
