to do that, and yet evil has gone on
increasing Christian Science offers
no theoretical explanation of evil. II
declares the obvious fact that any
thing which is not "a conceivable part
of Gods creation Is not conceivable
reality, even though it seems to be
real. The explanation that Christian
Science gives is an explanation of
good which from the standpoint OF
absolute Principle can be proved. 1t
offers no further explanation of evil
than its elimination, and declares
that no further explanation is neces-
sary, since the disappearance of evil
in any instance shows that there is
nothing there to explain. Good, how
ever, goes on becoming more and |
more real. 1t explains itself, for 1t |
is the divine Mind.
The action of Truth in human con-
seriousness has not been explained by
old systems Cchistian Science alone
offers an explanation, and when this
explanation is not found satisfactory
il is because the mental nature of
pure Science has not been discerned.
Really all science is purely mental.
We do not go to schools or colleges
to acquire anything more than
thoughts or ideas In view of the
experience of all educational institu-
lions which deal wholly with ideas,
1t ought not to seem strange that
Christian Science should lay claim
to being purely scientific. since it
t deals wholly with the purest ideas
that can ever be entertained by hui
: man being. Their efficacy in healing
: disease is only doubted because of
lack of better education on the part
: of general humanity.
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
If a human being uninstructed by
. Christian Science should hear of a
wonderful machine to which he could
!, resort at any time and have it work
In his behalf to remove his evil ten
denotes and any of his diseases, he
would be lost in admiration at this
extraordinary invention and HI
would eXclaim. What a wonderfu
scientific discovery" 1t goes withou
u, saying that no such machine ha
- been discovered or will be, for tn
simple reason that diseases and sin
are too deep seated to be reached b
8 any mechanical means. There wa
. something, however, discovered /
Il the year 1866 by lone New Ems
ne land woman whose thought was cles
II enough to perceive facts far mol
h scientific than any which had been r
'ls vealed through the evidence of Il
u senses, and who was strong enoue
:" OF purpose to set forth these though
re- in such a way that they could be di
III cerned and practised, which was
ch far greater Importance to the hum
d. race than any other discovery tn
a.! has ever been made Christian s
ian ence as aiven to the world by Ma
ION Baker Eddy is not less scientific
AK cause it is not mechanical or mat
eo' ial and It has the advantage of he
ing the diseases considered incurab
Ter thing which no material or n
all chanical thing could do.
One who really apprehends al
thing of Truth knows that II Is m
tai and that being without beg
ming or end or any kind of measu
ment 1t must be progressive in
experience. The application OF
cannot be formulated, and so
49,, from being mechanical Is 1t. that
perception of today is but the ST
ping stone to the greater understa
anu ing of tomorrow. The thought VII
constitutes the healing process
Christian Science is not less scien
because of its progressive nature
the contrary it is more scientihc
that account since II is more 81
taneous and original. The di
