Most Of US have believed that God
sends disease, disaster, and death to
| His children; but il this were true,
we would have no moral right to use
any healing means whatsoever. for BY
so doing we would be interfering with
the divine plan and purpose. If God
makes us sickly and dying. it is our
business to be sick and die. Domi-
mated nv such a belief, it is of course
! impossible to understand Christian
healing or to be healed spiritually.
Discerdant conditions exist only in
that human consciousness which is
largely mortal, which is belief of
both good and evil. They are not the
products Of Truth or Principle. hence
they are not divine creations Realiz-
ing this in some degree, their assumed
power is at once lessened, and we can
| begin to free ourselves from them by
turning to divine sources in the realm
Of reality. Then we begin to see that
God is not the author OF sin. disease,
and death, and that we do not have to
Experience them. The apprehension
of this che point often results in heal

Mental Cure of Disease.
Fear is admitted to be prolific
cause Of disease The Bible says,
l"Perfect love casteth out fear" Fear
is due to ignorance Perfect Love is

lreaftly seen how important 1t is to
tlet Truth control our thought. When

fear, sickness, mortality, then con
seriousness partakes of the nature OF
1 these thoughts, and the body like

Mental cure. A man suffering from
physical disease produced by hatred
for example, cannot be permanently
j healed by drugs or surgery. He needs
to have the hatred, whether from
within or without neutralized by its
true antidote, divine hove Then the
evil cause is destroyed and fits effects
disappear. Christian Science ex-
plains this clearly and nationally. so
that Christian Science. Mind-healing
can be demonstrated by anv one in
the degree Of his understanding of it.
This healing relies on a spiritual
method which is both simple and logi-

I In answer to the inevitable question,
How does Christian Science heal? we
ineed to remember that the truth and
terror about a given thing cannot exist
i in a given consciousness at the same
time, since they are opposites. We
cannot believe that two times two
make both FIVE and four. The healing
of the error of sickness must be akin
to the healing of any other error of
belief. Mathematical truth applied to
error in computation always removes
that error and establishes right re-
suits. The truth about God and man
! annuls false human belief, and this
! removes the effects of such belief.
/ Human discord and disease exist only
as false state of consciousness, a
mistaken sense, mesmeric dream

Right Mental Action.
! As the body is an GENERALIZATION of
: consciousness, If we change the con-
,, seriousness, the condition Of it's eyter-
Inhalation will also he changed. How
lis this to be done? In answer we
would say that since Christian Science
healing is wholly mental, it must be
accomplished through the activity of
the truth in human thought, and in
this connection it is well tn consider
what thinking is in order thatwe NAV
