terms and conditions upon which he
may live, but upon the contrary, II is
right and privilege Of everyone to
be governed by the Law of spirit in
stead OF the so-called laws OF matter,
and that by telling the truth TO NOR
tai mind, and thereby destroying
false beliefs. to preserve his body In
health.
To Illustrate how the body re-
spends TO the mentality that governs
II, study the faces Of two men. One
Is furrowed with deep lines. II ex-
presses bitterness, and shows that the
man hates everyone, and believes that
everyone hates him. The other is
radiant with good will, and shows by
its every expression that the man
loves everyone. and thinks that every
one loves him. What is 1t that maxi
es the difference between the faces
OF the two men7 Is it not their
thought7 And II thought can pro-
duce such radical changes in the
shape, expression and contour of
mems faces, Is Il not plain that

es in the shape and action OF every or
gan and part Of the body7 For there

the reach OF human thought, and
since no part Of the body possesses

can act except in obedience to themen
tally that governs Il.
Also observe what happens when a
person becomes angry. Immediate

body are disarranged. The liver at

Any physician VIII say that many
deaths have occurred from fits or ang-
or. and yet anger is only n mental
quality. or state.
Now. let one ask himself that,
since such results as these, which are
witnessed daily, car arise from n sud
den wrong mental impulse, does Il
equire much thought TO see that like

fear and the like. are 80 many con-
spirators against the peace and har-
mony OF mankind, and that until
these qualities are cast out, and are
displaced by the qualities OF that
mind which was also in Christ jos
u.s." men and women will continue to
suffer. sin, be unhappy and die. t,
As another illustration OF how the
human mind governs the human
body. let a mother tell her little girl
that she viii take cold II she gets
her feet wet. and II will be 30 and
why? II Is because the child believes
what her mother says, and when she
believes II she embraces her body
within her belief. and her body re-
spends TO the belief. Let the same
mother, however. tell the same little
girl that water has no moro power
10 make her take cold when II gets
on her feet than when II gets on her
face, or when she drinks Il. and the
hid may then get her feet wet every
day without the slightest bad results
Again. one man believes that n he
Steps In n draft. he will take cold,
and II VIII be SO. Sitting right by
his side is another man who believes
that unless he sleeps In n draft, he
VIII be sick. and Il will be so, and
there arc two exactely opposite re-
suits following from the same draft,
not because there Is any power In the
draft. but because OF human belief Il,
thus showing that the body responds
o whatever the human mind believes
concerning II.
Thus Christian Science is proving
In many different directions that the
body Is not self-actins. that Il has nc
intelligence to act and no sensation
to feel and that In every case. n
obeys and responds to the mentality
that governs II.
Indeed, this fact is 80 plain, tina,
when, II Is once pointed out, every
one Will readily observe instances "a

II then becomes easy to under.

the words OF Jesus. when He said
"Yo shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you Free" fol
when the human mind Is filled with
truth instead of error, the body will
respond with harmony instead OF
with discord. II also becomes self.
