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.
IScme who recognized the fact that this
healing was brought about through
mental means alone, refused to be-
ilieVe that the healing power was d.
vine. and said that 1t was evil. acting
through the human mind; namely,
through hypnotism. They cried out,
This fellow doth not cast out devils,
lbut- by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils" So also today many admit
that Christian Science heals mentally,
but they insist that this healing is &C.
complisheG through hypnotism. They
do not understand the nature and
power of divine Mind.
