trolling ones mental state of truth,

govern its feeling and action.
Real Significance Of Jesus Words
It then becomes easy to understand
the immense significance of the words
of Jesus, when he said, "Ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make
you free" for when the human mind
is filled with truth instead of error,
the body will repond with harmony
instead of with discord. 1t also be-
comes self-evident that humanity must
and will be emancipated from bondage
to sin, sickness and death, not by doc
toring the matter body with drugs nor
through reliance upon dead cere-
monies or blind unreasoning faith, but
through the regeneration of the human
mind
Is that not precisely what St Paul
meant when he said, BE ye trans
formed by the renewing of your
mind? Can there be any other way
for suffering men and women to be
liberated from evil conditions and
transformed into a state of peace and
harmony except through the conscious
evangelization and regeneration of the
human mind?
Regardless of what one may think
or believe concerning the doctrine OF
atonement, it is plain that there can
be no such thing as vicarious regen'
GRAFTON. Each individual must &c
through that process for himself, and
either here or hereafter, he will enter
into the kingdom of peace only when
he shall have gotten rid of the super
stitious, erroneous and vicious quail
ties of the human mind, and shall
come to know the truth concerning
God and man. Christian Scinece
points out the way. 1t is the Science
of right thinking and right living in
contradistinction to erroneous think
ing and wrong living.
Mrs. Eddy
Some day all mankind viii recognize
the Unreasonable service that Mrs
Eddy has rendered to humanity by hel
discovery of Christian Science and the
establishment of the Christian
Science movement. Through hel
teaching she has elevated religious
understanding from a theoretical tc
a practical basis. She has taught the
world that it is the mission of religion
to heal people of sickness, sorrow, un
happiness and fear. as well as to de
stroy sin, and has so clearly defined
the process by means of which thes'
results may be accomplished as tt
make it possible for every one Il
prove it for himself and thereby hea
himself and others. Christian Scienc'
is applied Christianity just as trul.
as engineering is applied mathematics
There is no mystery about it, an
when one does his work correctly, &C
cording to its rule, healing and regen
Grafton must follow.
