Most of us have believed that God
sends disease, disaster. and death to

healing or to be healed spiritually.
| Discordant conditions exist only in
| that human consciousness which is
! largely mortal, which is a 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
J God is not the author OF sin, disease,
and death. and that we do not have to
experience them. The apprehension
of this enc point often results in heal

Mental Cure Of Disease.
Fear is admitted to be a prolific
! cause of disease. The Bible says,
Perfect love easteth out fear" Fear
is due to ignorance Perfect Love is
the infinite divine intelligence. When
intelligence is brought to bear on ig-
! ncranee.r ignorance is destroyed. and
thus does perfect love- cast out fear.
and OF necessity its effects. It is
freaGtly seen how important 1t is to
4 let Truth control our thought. When
I'VE indulge in thoughts of limitation,
fear, sickness, mortality, then con-
seriousness partakes of the nature OF
these thoughts, and the body like
wise. When, we engage in Thoughts of
linfnity. spirituality, health, life. our
consciousness must partake of the ma
jtuFe OF these thoughts, and the body
likewise.
i Since disease has mental origin,
lit is manifest that it must have a
Mental cure A man suffering from
physical disease produced by hatred,

/ healed by drugs or surgery. He needs

within or without neutralized by its
! true antidote, divine Love! Then the
evil cause is destroyed and its effects
disappear Christian Science ex-
plains this clearly and nationally. so

can be demonstrated by any one in
the degree of his understanding of 1t.
This healing relies on a spiritual
method which is both simple and logi-
leal
In answer to the inevitable question,
How does Christian Science heal? we
need. to remember that the truth and
error about given thing cannot exist
! in given consciousness at the same
i 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 ether error of
ibelief 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 disccrd and disease exist only
as a false state of consciousness, a
mistaken sense, a mesmeric dream

Right Mental Action.
As the body is an GENERALIZATION of
consciousness, if We change the con-
/; seriousness, the condition Of its exter-
nalizstion will also he changed. How
lis this to be done? In answer we
would say that since Christicn 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 to consider
what thinking is, in order thatwe NAV
think Alright, may engage in right
mental action. A wrong belief cannot
