Friends: Those OF us who have
experienced the benefits derived from
a clear realization of the principles Of
applied Christianity, as taught and
demonstrated in Christian Science, are
grateful beyond measure, for the good
that this wonderful teaching has
brought to the world. IL is but natural
and Just that il should be the desire
of those 80 benefited that all mankind
now the truth about this wonderful
science ...... -.
1T has been proved beyond the sha-
dow of a doubt, that, when earnestly
applied, Christian Science is prac-
tical, everyday religion which may be
beuefjcially applied to every problem
of human existence, whether II be IN
relation TO health, domestic AFFAIRS,
business, or public matters.

sent to us the truth about Christian
Science. and / take great pleasure in

The healing go universally accom-
plished through Christian Science is
probably the one feature OF its work
which attracts the most attention ana
which has been most misunderstood,
since its methods are purely mental
and spiritual, the direct opposite OF
those employed by the ordinary
schools Of therapeutics. That healing
has resulted when Christian. Science
treatment has been applied after all
other means have failed, is now quite
generally conceded; but the manner
IN which this healing Is accomplished,
IS so far from being understood that
thare. Ii still a great reluctance on
the part Of many to avail themselves
OF II, and some still question its posi-
bility. This, however. can be Just as
truthfully said Of the headings which
are chronicled in the Scriptures, espe-
cially In the New Testament, where
the spiritual means Of healing is plain
,ly referred to and adyocateda and
where many instances Of healing are
specifically named.
In Exodus we read. II am the Lord
that healeth, thee" in Psalms. God Is
referred to as He who healeth all
thy Diseases" and again. He sent
hts word. and healed them. In Marks
gospel we read, These signs shall fol-
low them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
sneak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents: and il they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them: thev shan lay hands on the
sick. and they shall recover These
citations show that mankind should
look to g spiritual source for their
healing instead Of to drugs. Had God
created drugs and given them healing
