The Christian Scientist proceeds
not on the basis OF appearGuce, for
Jesus said. Judge not ACCORDING 70
the appearance, but judge righteous
1adFment. He proceeds on the basis
Of spiritual Truth. the actualtty Of
spiritual being. to correct the erron-
cons concepts in the diseordant, sim
ming mind of the patient through the
right knowing OF Truth, and harmony
is thus established on a spiritual and
scientific basis. 1t is not the Thought
or VIII of the practitioner that does
the healing in Christian Science. but
Truth operating through a human
channel. To illustrate:-
suppose you get a bill that is wrong
through an error IN computation. You
do not endeavor to hypnotic the bill
TO change it through will power. or
mental suggestion, neither do you
endeavor to hypnotize yourself
through auto-suggestiOu to believe
the bill is different from what it IS.
You know that there is something
wrong, and you proceed to correct 1t
on the basis Of mathematical truth
or you get some one e, help you who
can rectify the mistake
The power that eorrects such a. mis-
take is. not the thought Or viii OF the
mathematician. The power is inherent
solely in the truth Itself, the mathe-
matfcaI principle involved. The math-
ematician SIMPLY does sehtE knowing
through his cultivated mathematical
understanding. and the truth which IS
rejected by that knowing IS the power
thar corrects. If the matb ematician
had the power, he could just as well
make two times two make i've, seven.
or anything he pleases. just as mental
suggestion tries to do with the affairs
Of human, life, anything it pIeases.
'In Christian Science the healing
power is not the thought or will of the
Christian scientiss- It is inherent
solely in Truth itself, the divine Prin-
ciple. The Christian Scientist simply
does the knowing through his cult
yated spiritual understanding, and
the truth that is reflected by this
knowing is the power which corrects
and heals: in accordance with Jesus.
statement, sYe shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free.
Thf s is the cardinal feature of
Christian Science healing which dis
'tinEuishes it from all other methods
OF mental therapeutics, namely. THAI
It is the divine Mind and not the hu-
man mind which heals. Those who
know only of the human mind some
times believe that Christian Science
healing results from the action Of this
mind. as in mental suggestion, hyp-
notisn. or-wflI power, and so they
confuse it with those methods. But
when we know the divine Mind, then
we can see that Christian Science
healing is Truth healing. wherein di-
vine Truth and Love correct human
error. and wherein human viii and
mental suggestion have no place any
more than they have in mathematics.
Healing a Change Of Consciousness.
In Christian science healing it is
the Christ mind alone that affects the
patients consciousness, it alone illus
mines and transforms apprehension
corrects the erroneous concepts, es-
tablfshes harmony in consciousness,
and then externalizes this harmony
in health of body. This effect frequent
" takes place as a result of the read
ing of Mrs. Eddy,s explanation of
Scripture teaching in Science and
Health There have been hundreds
of cases OF organic and functional
diseases which have been healed
through the reading of this book. and.
