passed demonstrations of Jesus and
the aspostles, and the corroborative
testimonies of healing through Chris
tian Science.
All teach and prove the power of
Truth over error; the power of God
-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 so-called mortal mind is but the
oarnal mind, that must be corrected
by the divine Mind.
So that Christian Science, so far
from being mesmerism, is just the
opposite.
IL Exposes and Destroys Mcsmcrism,
Really it exposes and destroys mes
merism.
For instead of teaching minds many,
it teaches one Mind, and that the
Mind of God, in whom no evil is; no
sickness, 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 smerists, are finding their
way out of mesmerism-out of the be-
lief of minds many, into the one Mind,
the Mind that is God, where all So
called material minds are swallowed
up and lost in 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 it is hypo-
condria or Imagination in the COM
mon acceptation of those terms, but
that out in the great scientific fact
of being no such thing is or can be
found: that sickness or disease can
not properly be said to be a part OF
being; that being in its scientific
purity, is as free from sickness and
disease now as it was possible for il
to be before the so-called finite world
! began, or as it ever will be, when al
seeming evil is swept away and His
kingdom is come on earth.
Through the teaching and under
sanding that the ills of the flesh are
r,t the realities of being, the worlt
is 00t only being healed of it's present
load II misery and wretchedness bu
steadily and quietly the work 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 Righ
Actions.
The teachings of Christian Science
are of the purest and the best 1t de
mands right motives and aims as wei
as right actions, and that right do.
ing can only come by honest and pur,
desires.
From the mortal standpoint, evi
thinking is the harbinger of evil do
ing. Evil thinking not only provokei
wickedness, cruelty and crime, but 1
also breeds sickness, disease, anC
death.
Christian Science Mind-healing no
only heals the physical body so called
but it heals the so-called physica
mind as well, for physical mind anC
physical body are one. Therefore t
the extent that the physical or falls
mind is corrected by the divine Mind
the so-called physical body is changed
as thoughts of sickness are exchanged
for thoughts of health, the physica
body responds, for the body is bu
. the expression of the controllin,
thought.
Christian Science Mind-healing
therefore is elevating, edifying, an,
refining, and all those who come t.
1t for help are not only benefited
physically, but mentally, morally, ant
spiritually.
1t teaches perfect health and right
eousness, as the real, and sickness ant
evil as the unreal. Consequently it
teachings establish health instead o
sickness; right instead of wrong.
To Scientific understanding it opens
wide the door on immortal glory, anC
reveals spiritual man in the full pos
session of his God given inheritanc,
health, happiness, and eternal life
And thus consigns sickness, evil ant
death to everlasting oblivion.
1t is not therefore the mere super.
ficial idea of not speaking evil or no
talking sickness, but that sickness ant
evil are not a part of being; they
therefore are not only improbable
topics of conversation, but they are
not true, and If spoken of at all they
must be exposed as errors and not the
facts of being
Christian Scientists, therefore, tall
very little about sickness and evil
Their conversation naturally turns tc
that which interests them most. They
are searching for and finding health
and not sickness. They are seeking
for and finding the right, rather ther
wrong, and having found it, they find
1t more lovely than words can tell.
Consequently, when they are by
themselves at least, they love to talk
! 1t. because 1t is nearest their heart
and the one thing they love. They
love to tell the story because they
know tbs true. 1t satisfies their long
ing as nothing else can do"
Christian Science teaches there is
no reality in sin: that God made all
that was made, and all He made was
good; that God did not make sin. In
the Bible we read that God is of
"purer eyes than to behold evil, and
canst not look on iniquity."
