all thine heart: and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In All tiny
ways acknowledge him. and he shall
direct thy paths.
l pOndered over these declarations
flong and earnestly. and finally con-
cluded to do as they directed. tnat Is.
acknowledge God in all my ways.
Thus, whenever I rode or walkcr. 4
declared God as the power which
permitted it. 1 affirmed His wisdom
in every transaction, and accredited
every supply to Him. with gratitude.
i did not go to sleep withou. ac-
knOwledging Him to be the giver OF
all rest and peace; and SO. whatever
I did, wherever 1 went. I had God IN
my thought continually.
To my surprise. in a comparatively
short time I found this kind of think
ing quite natural, desirable and eX-
tremely satisfying. I found :nysen
rejecting sin. l was learning 20 th:nk
in a spiritual way, and yet sucn
thinking was practical. I had evil
dence of this from a better state OF
health, and good desires which came
to me. I felt an unceasing inciin.'-
ton to help others, to forgive my enc
mics, and to be more kind. just, true
and honest. I had great wlsn 10
pray and to heal the sick-aH things
which I had never known neIore.
am thankful to say that 1 have made
progress from the very hour when 1
determined to have God with me In
all my thoughts. Many OF my ac-
uuaintances have had, and are hav-
ing, similar experiences, for truth
not only has the quality OF being be-
lieved, but the faculty OF seII-prooI
as WELL
Health the Result of Good Thinking.
If you were the only person in tie
world and you had been thinking
good and evil as the world generally
does, and then you should conclude
to discontinue this way and decioe
to think exactly as the Command
ments and the Sermon on the Mount
direct, and you should carry this out
to the very letter, that is, think and
do only that which Is good. pure ard
upright, then where would evil be!
Evil has no principle, law or govern
ment to uphold it. 1t is only what
you permit it to be, in your thought.
Hate jealousy, anger and revenge are
devils and they are our worst enc
mics to health and happiness.
Good thoughts. such as the childnke
trust in God, kindness, love, gentleneSs,
purity. honesty. uprightness. reflect
health, harmony and beauty upon the
body, while their opposites-trust In ma
terial help, hate. Jealousy. dishonesty I'M
morality. etc. express discord and sick
ness In the body.
Medical Authorities Recognizing Men
tai Causation of Disease.
The Chicago Record Herald Of March
%. 1914. contains very Interesting ar
ticle relative to the experiments and
observations of DIR. George Grille, the
eminent surgeon of the Lakeside hospital
IN Cleveland, Ohio, as to the effect OF
fear. anger and malice upon the human
system Of the individual who INDUCES In
them. After elaborate experiments with
rabbits and dogs. and extensive observa-
patients, he announces that under dis
turbed mental conditions the normal
bodily secretions become poisonous. and
are thrown into the blood in excessive
quantities by the excited organs sub
jected to abnormal emotional strain.
Another and similar statement comes
through the Associated Press from spec
ialist in the medical department of the
Johns Hopkins university. saying that ap-
pehdicitis and certain serious diseases OF
the stomach. had in his Judgment, pure
~ mental origin. He advised. before any
other treatment was attempted, that in
quiry be made into the condition OF the
patients mind-the possible strain on the
nervous system arising from business
domestic worries. apprehension or fear.
The cause once fairly located. 1t was easy,
in his opinion. to deal with the effect.
Mental disturbances being abated, all the
ugly physical symptoms would disappear.
All this Mrs. Eddy brought to light al
most half century ago. and it will event.
enumerated by these distinguished ply
sicians are the result of evil mental con-
ditions. but that all diseases have their
origin in abnormal thinking.
During the IA years of my study and
investigation Of Christian Science 1 have
seen nearly every kind of chronic and
acute disease healed by the power Of d.
vine Mind, after medical practitioners had
given up all hope. Among them were
cases of insanity, acute pneumonia, al
bumnaria. cancer, tumor. acute appendi-
c1tis. gall stones. chronic constipation,
neuritis and many others. A number of
these healings were among my own rela-
tives. What I know Of Christian Science
and what have seen 1t accomplish have
given me the positive and absolute con-
viction that every disease known to hui
mainly can be healed by the understand
Ing and practise of Gods law, as set
forth in Christian Science.
Much is said in these days about hard
ening OF the arteries, and high blood
pressure. They too are the result of dis
turbed mental conditions.
Commercial Panics the Result of Fear.
What is true of the human BODY is also
true OF the body polite. A panic pro-
duces a rigid state in the arteries of
trade, in the manufacturing and CONNER
ctal centers, SO that nothing seems to
move without extreme pressure. The die
tionarfes define panic as extreme or sud
den causeless. unreasonable fright" To
