Healing Not Through Suggestion.
The healing power which Christ
Jesus utilized in, his wonderful heal
ing work was not understood by the
/ people who. witnessed these works.
Some who recognized the fact that this
/ healing was brought about through
mental means alone, refused to be-
4 lieye that the healing power was di-
vine. and said that it was evil. acting
through the human mind; namely,
/. through hypnotism. They cried out,
This fellow doth not cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils" So also today many admit
that Christian Science heals mentally,
but thew insist that this healing is ac-
ccmplished through hypnotism. They
do not understand the nature and
power of divine Mind
Since Christian Science healing I'M
wolves a knowledge Of spiritual truth.
Ia recognition of material error, and
the application of this truth thereto
this healing is not effected through
mental suggestion, or the influence of
one mind over another. II is not men,
tai domination, nor the exercise of the
/ human will. and 1t Is essential to a
fright apprehension OF Christian Sci
ience that this should be clearly I'M
iderstood.
For example: When a mathema-
ltieian correets a mathematical error
1t is not his will which makes this cor
Erection, but the mathematical truth
(which he knows and applies. The
power is inherent in the mathemati-
cal truth and not in the will Of the
mathematician. When an i'll or sin is
ihealed in Christian Science, 1t is not
the will CT the Christian Scientist
which does the healing, but the spirit
ual truth which he knows and applies
to the human error. The power Is in
the truth itself. not in the human will.
lJesus said, "Ye shall know the truth
and the truth shall make you free"
This definitely distinguishes Christian
Science from hypnotism, magnetism,
or mental suggestion of any form.
The hvpnotizer endeavcrs to secure
jcontrcl Of his patients mind. to domi-
nate it and to superimpOse upon 1t
his own thought and purpose, be 1t
good or evil Hence the danger of
this method.
Knowing the nature of God and the
real man to be spiritual and perfect,
the Christian Scientist recognizes the
fact that the diseased or sinful condi.
items are but false mesmeric states OF
consciousness, and he applies his un-
Gerstsnding Of divine Truth as the
remedy. He knows the unreality Of
