with the question before US, whether
we are going to like it; but, Is 1t
trUe2 is the question to be considered
Ii should never be studied with the
idea of liking, or disliking it, as
though our likes or dislikes, our ac-
ceptance or rejection would in any way
affect the great fact Of being.
What matters It whether we believe
that One-half times One-half is one

does that make it true2
Does our acceptance or rejection al
ter the fact that can be scientifically
proved and practically demonstrated
Likewise, in divine science, what
matters it whether we believe that
man. in his true spiritual being, Dy
his relation and sOnship to God-the
Father-has for his Inheritance, per
feet, unchanging health, sinlessness,
and everlasting life. Does our accept
ance or rejection alter the IacJ, InaL
can be and is found logically true, and
by practice is being demonstrated?
Fact is Proved.
This fact is being proved and de-
mOnstra ted every day and every hour,
and mankind is being healed, not only,
of his physical ills and personal SINS
but Is being corrected OF such things
as sickness and sin.
Not only mankind, but the whole ma
terial universe is being benefited
through the teachings and demonstra-
tons Of Christian Science, and this
brings his kingdom on earth and his
viii, as it is in heaven.
THE wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the
young lion and the failing together
and a little child shall lead them
They shall not hurt nor destroy in
all my holy mountain; for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge Of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea
Christian Science is the science OF
life; 1t includes and cOmprehends the
vast infinity Of being and rejects ali
that IS unlike the one perfect being
that is GOd-the absolute and only
good.
Not Invention Of Mrs. Eddy.
It Is not something that Mrs Eddy
has created or invented. 1t is what she
has discovered and given to the world
and for It we owe here more than we
shall ever be able to repay.
Right here let me say, we are not
irving to repay her by personal WOr-
ship, or foolish alteration; we are try
ing in a more practical way, by seek
ing to understand the science she mas
discovered and impaired to the world,
to live il daily and hourly, and never
to soil it by our own opinions ana pc
liefs.
Christian Scientists never talk their
opinion IL does not become sclenJlst
to be telling what he believes regard
ing science, for Christian Science is not
made up Of beliefs. opinions, and dog
mas. It is science, that is all and thaJ
is enough
It is the eternal fact Of being. and
can no more change as the years 90
by than the great Interchangeable, the
eternal God can change.
Christian Science Not MeBmerism.
Christian Science is not mesmerlsm-
Mesmerism is the belief OF minds
many: that each Individual has mind
of his own, and that the stronger mind
can influence and take unlawful con
troll Of the weaker mind; which judg-
ing from appearances would be the
natural inference. If the senses could
be trusted, and appearances were re
liable, this would be the only cOnclu-
sion that could be arrived at
But we thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord" that in the light Of
Christian Science, the revelatOr, that
mortal sense is found to be non
reality, that the sense testimony is
unreliable. That the Bible, and Sci
enCe and Health, cOrrObOraing the
Scriptures, also the grand and unsur-
passed demonstrations Of Jesus and
the apostles, and the cOrrObOra1ve tes-
timOnies OF healing through Christian
Science.
All teach and prove the power of
truth over error; the power of Cod
gOod-tO destroy evil.
All teach and demonstrate that the
one mind has power over the carnal
mind-that the mortal mind or sense
testimony is false, and the Christ mind
is true
Science and Health and the Bible.
when rightly understood, disclose the
fact that God is the only mind; and
the sOcalled mortal mind is but the
carnaI mind, that must be corrected
by the divine mind
So that Christian Science, so far
from being mesmerism, is just the
opposite
1t Exposes and Destroys Mesmerism.
Really it exposes and destroys mes
merism.
it teaches one mind, and that the mind
Of God. in whom no evil is; no sick
ness, sin, or death: which mind must
overcome and annihilate the mortal
mind, or negative mind, as darkness
is swallowed up Of light.
And Christian Scientists, instead of
being mesmerists, are finding their way
out of smerism-Out Of the belief
of minds many, into the one mind, the
mind that is God, where all socalled
material minds are swallowed up and
lost I'm the one divine mind, wherein
dWelleth righteousness
sickness and Disease Not Real.
Christian Science teaches there IS. in
reality, no such thing as sickness or
disease. That sickness and disease are
illusions. not that IL is hypocOndria OF
ina gination in the common acCeptatiOn
of those terms, but that out In the
great scientific fact Of being no such
thing IS or can be found; that sick
ness or disease cannot properly be said
to be a part Of being; that being in its
scientific purity, is as free from sick
ness and disease now as it was possible
for it to be before that sOcalled finite
world began, or as II ever viii be,
when all seeming evil is swept away
and his kingdom is come on earth.
Through the teaching and under
standing that the ills Of the flesh are
not the realities Of being, the world is
not only being healed of its present
load Of misery and wretchedness but
steadily and quietly the wonk of re-
formation and regeneration is taking
place, not only in those who have es-
pOused this glorious cause, but in the
minds Of all men everywhere who hear
Of its wonderful teaching.
Demands Right Motives and Right
Actions.
The teachings of Christian Science
are Of the purest and the best 1t de-
mands right motives and aims as well
as right actions, and that right doing
can only come by honest and pure de-
sires.
From the mortal standpoint, evil
thinking is the harbinger Of evil doing.
Evil thinking not only provokes wick
edness, cruelty. and crime, but il also
breeds sickness, disease and death
