Resisting Truth.
When we come to recognize a thing

ment OF that truth by acceding 10 Il
y adopting it, not by lighting it. But
the general situation is much like that

suffering humanity in learning the
great fact that disease in its cause is
mental. Christian Science is at least
consistent with what it teaches be-
cause 1t proceeds directly to the re-
moval of the mental cause, and the
physical effects are DESTROYED along
with the cause. IT is therefore he
most scientific method for the cure OF
disease that is known, and IT has the
advantage OF being precisely the meth

it would not heal.
Conclusion.
Therefore, in leaving this subject I
would commend to your further con-
slderatlon that Christian Science text

the Scriptures, whose only purpose IL

human intellect, but through the ex-
ercIse OF spiritual faculties. rising To
the recognition Of God as absolute

spiritual dominion that God gave to

Christian Science presents this spirit
ual understanding in such a way that
IL may be applied from the very ont
set with more simple problems. These
fruits of Christian Science, spread over
a. period OF nearly half a century, have
done more to change the thought OF
the world to higher ideals than any re-
ligious statement or teaching Of mod
ern times. They have challenged at

morals OF men. Such divine charac-
as health and life, which are
reflected through man, can no more

ourselves by the conscious recognition
of that fact. ..<
