thoughts which constitute a Chris
tian Science prayer or treatment.
While Christian Science healing Is
mental healing. 1t would not be
worth while II it were what is ordi-
narily associated with that term. 1t
is the true mentality which Jesus
taught and practised. 1t is the
Christ healing. To suppose that
Christian Science is anything else Is
absurd to anyone who has had proofs
of this Science, for he knows that
nothing but Omnipotence would be
equal to the task of healing the thou
sands of cases which have been heal
ed in Christian Science.
The Discoverer and founder of
Christian Science brought to light
that which was promised when Jesus
said, He will send you the Comfort
er. even the spirit OF truth, to abide
with you forever" 1t is this know
ledge of the impersonal Saviour or
Christ Truth which constitutes both
the Science and the Christianity of
| Christian Science. If MS. Eddy had
stopped at the discovery of Chris
tian Science, hundreds of thousands
of people could not say, as they now
do say, that they are grateful for
Christian Science. The wonderful
thing that she did for mankind was
to discern the method of Christian
Science by means of which any per-
son can begin the transforming pro-
cess which st. Paul speaks of, and
by means of which one demonstrates
in some degree the true relationship
of God and man, by recognizing Its
present reality and availing himself
of its law.
Revealed to Mrs. Eddy, Discoverer
and Founder of Far Reaching Re-
uRious and Scientific Movement.
We are apt to think of revelation
, as something imposed upon man by
God. but a more consistent under
standing of the word shows that Its
o meaning Is best apprehended when
. one understands its naturalness
That Mary Baker Eddy was inspired
:, when she discovered and set forth
- the truth of Christian Science canno
@ be doubted, and yet that inspiration
o that revelation, required first recep
&c tivity.
=, 1t was this readiness, this ceasles
70 responsiveness to divine Mind whicl
IN characterized her whole career an
o. made her the leader of the most fai
reaching religious and scientifl
70 movement that the world has know
20 lit was this same Responsiveness
ba which has made of Christianity
,h science resulting in such untold bel
&c efits to mankind that thousands
is people spontaneously reverence al
