~ Friends: Those of MS 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 II Is but natural
and lust that IL should be the desire
of those so benefited that all mankind
now the truth about this wonderful
science.
ut has been proved beyond the sha-
dow of a doubt, that, when earnestly
apulied. Christian Science is a prac-
tical. everyday religion which may be
benefcially applied to every problem
of human existence, whether II be in
relation to health, domestic affairs,
business, or public matters.

The healing so 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 IFS methods are purely mental
and spiritual, the direct opposite OF
those employed by the ordinary
schocls 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
II, which this healing is accomplished,
IA 90 far from being understood that
there Is still a great reluctance on
the part OF many TO avail themselves
OF Il. and some still question its posi-
bflity. This, however, can be just as
truthfuliy said OF the headings which
are chfonIcled in the Scriptures. espe-
cfally n the New Testament, where
the spiritual means of healing Is plain
" referred to and advocated, and
Where many instances of healing are
specifically named.
In Exodus we read. IT 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, sThese signs shall fol-.
low them that believe; IN my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues: they shall
take up serpents: and IL they drink
anv deadly thing. It shall not hurt
them thew shall lay hands on the.
sick. and they shall recover. These.
citations show that mankind should
look TO q spiritual source for their
healing instead Of to drugs. Had God
created drugs and given them healing
power. Christ Jesus, who came TO
show us the way CT salvation. or de-
livefance from sin, disease, and. death,
would certainly have used them him.
self ana recommended them to 9TH
ers. HIS own success In healing
proves that he fully understood heal
ing art which has no recourse to ma
terial means.
