tian era. which was the most efectual
in the history Of human experience.
The humble Nazarene was inquest
tionably the most successful healer
the world has ever known BY eX-
ample and precept He sought to im-
part that spiritual knowing which de-
livers from evil, the evil of sickness
as we'll as the evil OF sin.
Works of The Master.
Moral and physical healing we're
one in the teaching and practice of
the Master Healing was the founda-
iton upon which He built The null
titudes did not see any connection be-
tween his teaching and his works, and
IL may be that the great majority to-
day do not understand that. there was
vital connection between what he
said and what he did
1.-THE truly wonderful success Of our
cause is due to its healing works. The
cure Of disease and the alienation of
suffering is by no means the whole of
Christian Science.
The Masters ability to overcome
sin and sickness shows that he had a
truer sense OF these evils than did
others. If He had entertained the
same belief as TO the reality and
power of sin as did the multitudes, OF
/ if he had regarded sickness and sui.

I his teaching and practice would have
I in no wise excelled that of his time
His faith i'm God was not a blind faith
/ It was spiritual understanding, and
/ he was able to prove the truth of his
words by the might of his deeds Hif
| teachings cannot be improved upon
neither can his method Of healing.
Discovery of Christian Science.
christian Science was discovered
/ by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. II Is
not claimed that this Science is a new
/ teaching, neither is il assumed that II
has anything TO add to that which has
been revealed. The deep spiritual
meaning of the Masters teachings is
presented i'm such a manner that mort
ais can understand sufficiently to be-
gin the demonstration thereof. Chris
tian Science is not an invention
neither Is il the evolution of human
! opinions OF beliefs. No teaching Of
system of modern times was the
starting-point of MIS-. Eddys work
She departed entirely from the heater
paths of recent centuries and this il
why her teaching were so original anC
her method of practice so at variance
with that to which the public Ia:
been accustomed.
Mrs. Eddy's own healing was the
beginning of this great movement. AZ
the Discoverer and Founder of Chris
tian Science she is known to the worlC
and as the Discoverer and Founder o
lChristian Science she will take hei
place among the thinkers of modern
times. Future generations will re
| gard her as the friend of humanit,
and will marvel that she could hav.
been so misunderstood and that sh,
suffered so much opposition when she
was simply endeavoring TO teach an,
practise the Christian religion.
THE most noteworthy among thu
writings Of Mrs. Eddy is the Christian
Science textbook. Science and Healtl
with Key to the Scriptures This bool
was the outgrowth of the authors re
ligious experience. II is adapted e

the most advanced student is jus
beginning TO comprehend the heigh
and depth and length and breadth O
its teachings. II contains such a clear
concise. and simple statement of de
monstrable Truth that numberles
cases of physical and moral healing
have resulted from the reading OF tn
book.
Divine Principle.
God alone has power to forgive o
to destroy sin. and God is the onl
real healer of disease. Christian Sci
ence teaches how the sick are heal
ed. The following from Science an
Health is a definite statement as q
what IL is that accomplishes the neai
ing work The physical healing o
p Christian Science results now, as 4
Jesus time. from the operation of di
vine Principle before which sin an
disease lose their reality In huma'
consciousness and disappear as natu
