meet him with God Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the meek: for they shal inherit the earth. Blessd are the mereiful: for they shall obtain mercy Blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the child of God" When these quail ties of purity, meekness, mercy, and love take possession of the human mind they connect the human with the divine, and when the connection is thus established there flows into the human consciousness the divine love that heals and regenerates.
 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IS NOT HIP.
 NOTISM
 From this it is plain that Christian tism. It is in fact the very opposite. Hypnotism is the domination of one human mind by the will power of another on the basis of the stronger controlling the weaker while in Chris tian Science it is the operation of truth in the human mind that neu- tralizes and destroys the error, and produces the healing.
 There is not a case of physical healing in Christian Science where the person healed is not benefited morally and given a spiritual uplift. whereas the effect of hypnotism is harmful A professor of psychology in one of our leading universities of causing every crime except mur- der, and that he was not sure but that it would cause murder. A short time ago one of the leading physi- clans of Philadelphia published an article in one of the medical journals in which he warned the medical pro- fession and the public against hyp- notism, saying that it. is an evil and dangerous thing.
 While most people now admit that hypnotsm is bad thing there are some who claim that mental sugges- tiGn is a good thing. know of some clergymen who claim that Jesus heal ed by mental suggestion. The fact is that mental suggestion and hypno- tism are On the same plane of opera tion and differ only in degree. The same college professor says that it is Impossible to tell where hypno- tism shades off into mental suggest ion. Hence mental suggestion is merely Eypnetism that stops before hypnosis is produced. i
 All who claim that Jesus healed by mental suggestion are virtually accus- ing him of having been hypnotist, and Christian Scientists deny that he healed through any such method Any one has the right to believe in hypnotism and mental suggestion if he wishes to do so, but it should be made plain that those things have no connection with Christian Science GOD NOT THE CREATOR OF EVIL
 Another subject about which the teaching of Christian Science is much misunderstood is the unreality of evil. As a matter of fact the Chris tian Science position on this subject is very plain. The Bible says that God made everything that was made, and that every thing He made was good. God therefore did not create be accounted for in some other way than as being part of Gods creat- ion.
 Since God did not create evil, Chris tian Science says it is not real be- cause it is not eternal. Everything that God made is eternal and indes- tructible, and if He had made evil it would possess those qualities. It is fact that evil. whether in the form of sickness or sin. can be destroyed Jesus made war upon it and des- troyed it, and the entire human race is at this very moment engaged in a warfare against it.
 Christian Science is aiding in this warfare against evil, and has shed much light upon the subject by show ing that evil exists nowhere eXcey: in human belief, and that it can be destroyed by Truth operating in hu- man consciousness
 Christian Science points out that evil has no inherent power, and that it cannot manifest itself either as sin or as disease without the cooperation of human belief, by showing that evil resides in human life and has no di- vine causation, Christian Science has 0cl lcucc OAlN hUN f5F51C.
