have occurred from fits of anger, and
yet anger is only a mental quality or
state.
Now, let one ask himself that, since
such results as these. which are wit
messed daily. can arise from a sudden
wrong mental impulse, does 1t require
much thought to see that like evil re-
suits VIII also occur from the habitual
entertainment of a wrong mental
quality? Is it not plain that hatred,
and all of its Subdivisions and by
products. such as malice, spite, resent
ment and revenge. must necessarily
produce evil and discordant conditions
upon the human body? And, like
wise, that every evil quality of the
mortal mind. such as dishonesty jeal-
ousy, greed, avarice, self-will, fear and
the like, are so many conspirators
against the peace and harmony of
mankind. and that until these qualities
are cast out. and are displaced by the
qualities of that mind (which was also

continue to suffer sin, be unhappy and
die.

thus showing that the body responds
to whatever the human mind believes
concerning it.
Thus Christian Science is proving in
many different directions that the body
is not self-acting, that 1t has no in
telligence to act and no sensation tC
feel, and that in every case it obeys
and responds to the mentality that
governs 1t.

Significance of Jesus Words
1t then becomes easy to understand
the immense significance of the word:
of Jesus when he said. ''Ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make
you free" for when the human mine
is filled with truth instead of error, the
body will respond with harmony in
stead of with discord. 1t also become!

Regardless of what one may thinl
or believe concerning the doctrine Of
atonement, it is plain that there car

God and man. Christian Science points
out the way, 1t is the Science of right
thinking and right living in contra.

wrong living.
Concerning Mrs. Eddy
Some day all mankind will recognize
the immeasurable service that Mrs
Eddy has rendered to humanity by heI
discovery of Christian Science and the
establishment of the Christian Science
movement. Through her teaching she
has elevated religious understanding
from theoretical to a practical basis
She has taught the world that it i.
the mission of religion to heal people
or sickness, sorrow, unhappiness anC
fear as we'll as to destroy sin, and ha.
so clearly defined the process by mean,
OF which these results may be accom-
plished as to make it possible fol
every one to prove it for himself anC
thereby to heal himself and others
Christian Science is applied Chris
tianity just as truly as engineering i.
applied mathematics. There is nC
mystery about it. and when one doe.
his work correctly. according to it!
rule, healing and regeneration mus
follow.
In the Bible (sohn xx:17) we reat
that Jesus said to Mary, "Go to my
brethren, and say unto them. ascend
unto my Father. and your Father; ant
to my God and your God" Also in
John. iii:2, Beloved, now are we the
sons of God, and it doth not yet appear
what we shall be: but we know that
when he shall appear, we shall be like
illiiI, loE we SIlall see MIN as he is.
st. Paul also wrote (Romans, S:16,17)
THE Spirit itself beareth witness will
our spirit, that we are the children oil
God: and If children then heirs: heir:
of God. and joint heirs with Christ"
Christian Science demonstrates the
truth of these inspired statements. II
makes available as a present right anC
possibility mans inheritance as the Sol
and heir of God by showing that the
real man created by God is spiritua,
and not material; that his life, con,
tinuity intelligence and harmony are
in spirit and not in matter; that all OF
his qualities and attributes are derived
from Spirit, and that every function OF
the real man is governed by the divine
Mind. Man, therefore, expresses the
divine nature. and hence he Is the
image of God and as such Is perfect
and immortal. The material man Is
not the likeness of God. for matter
cannot be the image of Spirit. He is
the false concept of man. and the sin
disease and death involved in this
false concept will disappear as false
mortal beliefs are dissolved by truth
The material belief must give place to
to the spiritual fact in every case.
Out of the amplitude of her own
spiritual understanding Mrs. Eddy has
translated into human language the
truth about God and man, and their
relationship; has revealed q perfect
divine Principle that governs man
kind. and has proved that the truth
taught by Jesus is scientific, and NAV
