ing Truth. knowing God Alright.


and not human thought. In Christian
Science healing the human sense
serves only as a vehicle for Truth.
1t is the Truth alone that effects
results.
Two-FoId Process in Healing.
Another cardinal point In Chris
tian Science healing is that 1t works
from the standpoint of the unreality
of matter and evil and thus proves
the allness and supremacy of God.
1t includes the knowing and affirma-
ton of Truth; the recognition and
denial of error.
Some people do not understand
why it is necessary to deny matter.
The reason is simply this, that the
belief in the reality of matter seems
so strongly established in human
consciousness through heredity, en-
vironment and education that the
mere acknowledgment or declaration
of the allness of God does not always
beget the conviction of the unreailty
of matter: and the specific denial of
matter aids in destroying or lessen
ing this claim in the human con-
seriousness.
When matter is denied on the basis
of Spirits allness, such denial does
not mean humiliation of the individ-
ual man, but it makes the veil of
the flesh thinner, so that Spirit may
illumine all things with that divine
light, which reveals harmony in place
of discord, health in place of sick
ness, holiness in place of sin, success
in place of failure, love In place of
hate.
There could be no sin, sickness,
disaster nor death were 1t not for the
belief in the reality of matter, Meth
er could there be any hypnotism nor
of any kind. The per-
ception of the unreality of matter
means the realization of the nothing
ness of the foundation of these dis
cordant phases of mortal belief and
their consequent destruction.
All true being is beautiful and i'm
mortal and it is thus perceived by
spiritual sense. Mrs. Eddy writes:
when we learn the way in
Christian Science and recognize
mans spiritual being, we shall
behold and understand Gods crea
tion,-all the glories of earth and
heaven and man." (Science and
Health, D. 264.)
Mrs. Eddy Loved and Honored.
1t is not to be wondered at, indeed
it is inevitable, that Christian Scien-
lists should love Mrs. Eddy for hav-
ing brought to the world this Science
of Salvation, the true knowledge of
God and man, the spiritual under
standing of the Holy Scriptures
which enables them to know them
selves and to demonstrate that say
ing faith" which alone leads to heav-
en-.
We love her not only for the re-
yelation of the demonstrable Christ
Truth, which is contained in her Won
derful book Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" and her other
writings, but for her conservation
and devotion in continuing to lead
the great religious movement she has
inaugurated. She has remained stead
tasty at her post of duty and con-
tinued to instruct, guide, advise, ad-
monish her followers and to lead on
her great Cause in its stately pro-
gress.
Those of us who have known her
personally and who have had the
great privilege of being under her
supervision realize in some degree
what an extraordinary woman she is.
Her spirituality. her love to God
and her desire to be obedient only
to Him. and TO follow the example
of the Master-these characteristics
make her the great Leader that she
Is.
Mrs. Eddy did not simply state her
discovery to the world; she first
demonstrated 1t and then offered it
as a dem0nstrable Science for all
mankind to profit by. This Science
overcomes evil. by giving a true
knowledge OF God and His Christ, it
enables all humanity to work out
their own salvation and reach that
pure consciousness. which Jesus call
ed the Kingdom of heaven"
