 fig effected through spiritual means, the power of divine mind.
 ''It Is further evident that the mind or intelligence which Is the source or All right ideas, Is the intelligence and to as a remedy for all wrong ideas or conditions of human experience. The natural healing power must be the mind or intelligence which Is the underlylns principle of being. It Is obvious that truth alone corrects error. hence the discord or disease which results from false sense, can be put away, or healed only through truth. Many who believe in God as the Creator are so illogical as to believe that although He knew enough to make all things, He does not know enough to correct our false sense of what He has made.
 The Philosophy of Christian Science
 Healing
 We are now in position to examine into the method by which Christian heal ing Is scientifically demonstrated.
 According to the scriptural accounts. the healing wrought by the Master and His disciples, was accomplished through mental or spiritual means alone thus through some action of thought. Chris ton Science healing is brought about in the same way. In both, the healing prin- ciple and law are mental, and we are thus led to examine into the nature Of mind and mind sction.
 Christian Science teaches that mind Is that which thinks. that which expresses itself in ideas, intelligence, consciousness. Thus 1t is the basis of all manifestation, the principle and intelligence Of the uni- verse It discloses that mind Is fnfinite and that mind and It's ideas constitute all being. Mind is that which manifests and that which is manifested. Thus 1t Is truth or actuality, and there can be no place where truth is not. Infinity means without limitation or boundary, without beginning or end, without quantitative dimensions. It means omnipresence. the everywhere present. It means omnis- cience, the all-knowing consciousness. It means omnipotence, the almighty power. This infinite mind is spirit, the substance and essence of real being; it Is soul, the identity and Individuality of all right ideas. it is life. the creating and sus- taining principle of all activity; 1t is truth. the actuality of being; the love. 1t Is substance of all goodness and har- mony. This infinite. absolute. perfect, in- destruct!ble, omnipresent, omnipotent be- ing Is the incorporeal father mother god. the divine us of the scriptures whose true nature Is revealed through Christian Science.
 This divine actuality is the scientific basis on which all Christian healing is demonstrated. the divine principle whose unlimited power is utilized in the over coming of sin and sickness.
 Christian Science shows that the so- called mind which includes the belief in evil matter and disease. is not real mind but false concept of mind, the Adam dream, which St. Paul terms the carnal mind which Is enmity against God;' in other words. Gods unlkeness or opposite This carnal mind Christian Science fur- ther defines as mortal mind. since 1t in- cludes all that is sick. shining, discordant and mortal. It Is the inversion or coun- terfeit of the immortal divine mind and itE betraying characteristic Is An!ty as oporsed to infinity. All that Is real Ia infinite. therefore all that Is finite is unreal The unreal beliefs of the carnal mind have neither place. location. nor power, any more than has tho schoolboy's
