self-sustaining. Recognizing
the nature Of this so-called mind,
st. Paul named it "carnal." and
Mrs. Eddy designated II "mor-
tal," since sin. disease, and
death are its inevitable pro-
ducts.
Thus we see that all dis
cordant conditions exist solely
as phenomena and experiences Of
this carnal. mortal mind. as
states of human consciousness;
hence their healing. their cor
rection or destruction, involves
a transformation of this con-
sciousness. As existence i'm
plies consciousness, and as the
body is externaiized conscious
ness, the conditions of ex-
istence and of the body depend
upon ones mental state. A dis
cordant consciousness results in
discordant existence. IL is
therefore necessary TO change
the human consciousness il we
wish TO have changed conditions.
How is this to be done?
First, it is necessary TO de-
termine whether the mortal or
carnal mind with its experiences
is true, for we know that the
initial step in the correction Of
any mistake is the perception Of
the mistake. We recognize an
error when we know the truth
which il falsifies. When we ap-
ply the corrective truth 10 an
error. it disappears. and right,
harmonious conditions prevail.
If the phenomena of mortal mind
were true. they could never be
altered. If untrue. they cannot
be corrected until we know their
falsity. IL is impossible to cor
rect an error until IL is recogniz-
ed as such. For example, il we
receive a wrongly computed bill
and believe IL right. we are de-
ceived and suffer for it. Yet we
do not perceive that il is wrong
until we know what is right.
Directly we know the truth about
the facts involved. this knowl-
edge corrects or displaces the err
ror, the wrong concept.
THE NATURE OF TRUTH
Let us then examine into the
essential nature and character
of truth. of that which really is.
and learn whether matter and
mortal mind are true and real,
for we have seen that matter and
existence are mental,
and we must now determine the
truth regarding this mentality.
Truth by its very nature is in
finite. everywhere. Being that
which is. there can be no place
where Truth is not; therefore
Truth is omnipresent. Truth is
intelligent. always knowing
enough to be itself and never
else; being infinite, it
is lnnnltely lntellgent, tnat is,
omniscient. Truth is almighty.
having power to be itself and to
resist being anything else, pow
er to correct that which seems to
falsify il. Truth being infinite,
the power of Truth is infinite,
omnipotent. Truth is indestruc-
tible. since it is impossible for
any element, quality. or particle
IF omnipresence or real being
20 be annihilated.
We thus see that Truth is act
lality; absolute. fundamental. IN
dependent; without beginning or
ending. without dimensions or
limitations. 1t is immortal. for

the belief in the reality of ma
terial existence and its assert
ed laws, is at variance with the
Scripture teaching. Third: The
inertia of the human mind re-
sists belief in anything which
differs from what IL has been ac-
customed to; il is innately op-
posed to all things spiritual or
divine, and il is to this mental
attitude that st. Paul referred
when he said. THE carnal mind
is enmity against God" We
thus see that IL is material sense
which hinders the attainment
of an understanding of the
spiritual healing of the Bible,
this is the fertile soil from
which springs the doubt, agnos-
ticism. and infidelity of our
times. p r...
MENTAL CAUSATI0N
One of the most puzzling ques-
tions TO the lay thinker respect
ing spiritual healing is this:
How can a mere mental effort
bring about a physical change;
how can il restore health and
harmony? This difficulty is
largely due TO the failure 10 un-
derstand the nature Of Mind and
the relationship between the
inner world of thought and the
outer world of phenomena. Let
us consider this question briefly.
first from human or material
standpoint. then from the Chris
tian Science standpoint.
All are familiar with the effect
of fear, grief. and anger upon
bodily conditions. Tears flow;
the circulation of the blood is
altered. as shown by pallor; the
secretions are affected. as shown
by cold perspiration. etc. These
effects prove that physical
changes follow mental distur-
Dances. An eminent physician
has made a series of experiments
showing the effect of the emo
tions upon the secretions. and
has found that under the in
tluence of love and hate. serenity
and anger. pleasure and pain. the
secretions present marked chem
ical differences: all of which
gives evidence that mental con-
ditions are the real causes of
disease. Many physicians will
even admit that malignant dis
eases have been caused by grief,
worry. and sin; indeed. it is
now becoming more and more
evident that the cause of all dis
ease is mental. Even what are
termed hereditary diseases and
are now believed by
many to be of mental origin. as
there is no other way to account
for them.
Again. we are all familiar
with the fact that diseases and |
distressing symptoms are al
eviated when fear and worry |
cease and the harmonious effects |
of peace. happiness, and salts
faction prevail. Take a rubber
ball, grasp it tightly in the
hand. thereby destroying its
normal outline; then remove the
pressure of the fingers. and
when the strain is gone, the
)all resumes its natural shape.
N a similar way. mental distur-
)ances clamp the body. put it
lnder strain. distort it; but
when these disturbances are re-
the body becomes nor
nal. natural.
This effect of thought on the
'ody is readily admitted even by
materialists. Cheer
ulness, the habit of looking on
he bright side of things, is
acknowledged to be an
i'd in preserving and restoring
Iealth. Yet he who believes in
causation will say; I'll
St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1914-10-16

cannot admit that malignant and
organic diseases may be caused
or cured by thought. Possibly
my headache will disappear
when l stop worrying or being
angry, but how can | get rid Of
a tumor or Of Bright's disease by
simply thinking about itY"
This expresses the attitude Of
mortal thought. and in answer
TO its questions il is well to bear
in mind that the marvellous
healing recorded in the Bible,
much Of which is entirely above
and beyond any possible achieve
ment of medical or surgical
practice. was actually accom-
plished through mental or spirit
ual activity alone. and that
Christian Science has in the
same way healed every known
disease. Admitting these facts.
we are the better prepared to dis
cuss the manner in which this
healing is accomplished.
NATURE OF EXISTENCE
In the first place, IL is neces-
sary for us TO consider what ex-
istence is, and the relation be-
tween mind and body. All will
admit that 10 exist means 10 be
conscious. Then individual ex-
istence is individual conscious
ness. and since consciousness is
mental. existence is mental.
From this it follows that the
character of existence depends
upon the character of conscious
ness. II is also evident that
hereditary tendency and edu-
Gated bias largely determine the
character of consciousness. and
since our mental makeup and
perceptive faculties vary great
ly, il is manifest that no two
people can have the same con-
sciousness or even see the same
object alike. For example. an
aeroplane viewed by a civilized
person and by savage, awakens
altogether different concepts. A
flower is a very different thing
TO a botanist from what it is to
an engineer. The impression
received of the shape and size
of an object depends upon the
shape and size of the lens of the
eye. and individual lenses are
manifestly as different as in
dlvidual physiognomies.
Again, since human conscious
ness is acquired largely through
the five physical senses. it par
takes of the nature of material
sense. This sense-testimony is
always relative and never alb
solute. II is dimensional. finite.
inexact. Echoes do |
not locate sound correctly. Dis
tant objects are not small be-
cause they appear so. Astron-
)mlcal phenomena are not what |
hey seem to be. The sun does
not move across the sky and the |
earth is not stationary. Color

Of taste. smell. and touch.

energy. a theoretical manifesto
tion of force in which every
vestige Of the characteristics of
matter or the object has disap.
peared. What the nature and
history of separated. a freed
electron may be. is something
for the physicist to puzzle over.
Idealistic philosophy and psy-
chology teach that material OBJ
jects are but objectifed mental
impressions or concepts. and not
substantive entities exterior TO
consciousness. For example:
When we look at what we call a
material thing. we experience
an impression made upon con-
sciousness by light. which is all
we ever see. Light. according
TO physics. Is vibration. or a
form of energy which impresses
itself upon consciousness. and
this impression we have been
educated TO objectify. We have
inherited and cultivated the
habit of believing il to be mat
ter. or an object which we see,
whereas il is merely the exper-
ience Of a mental impression we
have unconsciousg objectifed
and this is true also of the phe-
nomena of hearing. taste. touch,
and smell.
We never really see. hear,
feel. taste. or smell matter or
objects, but merely experience
sense-phenomena which we call
matter. What we think we see
is not an object exterior TO con-
sciousness. but only an impress
sion in consciousness due to
what is assumed TO be some
form of vibration. Further
more. according TO psychology
and philosophy, there is no evil
dence of any existence external
TO consciousness; hence existence
is measured by consciousness.
We thus see that matter must
he defined as mirage. as an ap-
pearance of substance rather
than substance itself, and it is
therefore wholly mental, a state
of mortal consciousness.
These are not the teachings of
Christian Science. but the con-
clusions reached through re-
search and discovery in the do
main of physical science, psy-
chology. and philosophy. and
they show that even from a ply,
sical standpoint what we term
matter is not what it is general
ly believed to be. but is wholly
a mental phenomenon, and has
not been and cannot be account
ed for in any other way. Christ
Jesus proved what is called
matter to be wholly mental when
he walked on the water, stilled
the tempest, and overcame other
so-called material conditions.
MATERIAL MENTALITY
Having seen the mental ma.
ture of matter. let us now con-
slider the nature of the mind
which perceives material things,
and of which matter is the OBJ
jectified concept or externaliza-
tion. the mind which largely
constitutes human conscious
ness. This mind is a conscious
ness of which the factors are
variable, destruct-
bile. and our concept of the ma
Lure of these factors is gained |
through the testimony of the |
i've physical senses. 1t is a
consciousness of evil, sin, dis
lster, and death. 1t claims to be
Intelligence. but is inherently
lon-intelligent: it knows moth

,ated. 1t claims to be substance, |

of healing is plainly referred to
and advocated, and where
many instances of healing are
specifically named.
In Exodus we read, 81 am
the Lord that healeth thee"
in Psalms, God is referred to as
He who healeth all thy dis
cases." and again, "He sent
his word, and healed them" In
Marks gospel we read, "These
signs shall follow them that be-
lieve; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents: and IL they
drink any deadly thing. IL shall
not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they
shall recover" These citations
show that mankind should look
TO spiritual scource for their
healing instead Of TO drugs.
Had God created drugs and
given them healing power,
Christ Jesus, who came TO show
us the way of salvation. or de-
liverance from sin. disease. and
death, would certainly have used
them himself and recommended
them TO others. His own sue
cess in healing proves that he
fully understood a healing art
which has no recourse TO ma
terial means.
INSTANCES OF HEALING
Among the notable instances
of the healing of physical dis
ease by Christ Jesus as recorded
in the New Testament are
these: The healing of paralysis
(Lukev. 1926. of fleprosy luke
xvii. ll-l9). of deformity luke
xiii. ll-l7). of blindness Matt.
tx. 27-3D, of fever (Luke iv.
3S, 39). of dropsy Uuke xiv.
2-4). of hemorrhage Matt. tx.
20.22). of violent insanity MARK
v. l-20), and of epilepsy MARK
tx. l4.29). The gospels also
record Jesus work in the rails
ing of the dead. as Jairus'
daughter Luke viii. 4l-56). the
widows son luke vii. 1l-l5),
and Lazarus. after he had been
dead four days John XII. LAD.
Many cases are also recorded
as having been healed by the
disciples and by some of Jesus
followers who were not his per-
sonal students. In Acts ". l2)
we read. And by the hands Of
the apostles were many signs
and wonders wrought" Peter
healed a man lame from birth
(Acts iii. 2-S). healed Kneas
Of paralysis (Acts tx. 32.35).
raised Dorcas (Acts tx. 36-4l).
Paul healed a cripple (Acts xiv.
S-10). healed Publius' father of
fever and hemorrhage (Acts
xviii. 81, raised Eutychus to
life after his accident (Acts Xxx.
D-l2), healed himself of the
sting of a poisonous serpent
(Acts xviii. 3-6) Philip. who
like Paul was not Jesus per-
sonal student. healed insanity, |
paralysis, and lameness (Acts |
viii. 6, y. The seventy are re-
ported as having returned to
Jesus to tell of their healing
work, saying, Even the devils |
are subject unto us through thy |
name"
These cases show unmistak-
ably that Christian healing was
effected by spiritual and not
means; they teach that
we should look not to matter but
% divine Mind for the true heal
ng power. the power which was
utilized by Christ Jesus and his
disciples. In the case of con-
genital blindness healed by
Iesus. of which John tells us.
here was evidently no healing
'irtue in the clay and spittle,
lor in the water of the pool of
Sloan, for if there had been,
hese universally available means
would be in use today for the
