yiction that death is inevitable and

could prevent the demonstration of
Gods power TO destroy even the last
enemy.
Universal Remedy
The Masters demonstrations of
Truth were so varied and complete
that it seems strange humanity has
not seen in these healing works the
proof that spiritual understanding is
the universal remedy for all the ills
OF human experience. The failure to
realize this can be accounted for only
as one considers that these works are
regarded as miracles; i. e. it is be-
lieVed that they were in some way
accomplished contrary to the natural
operation of the laws to which men
and women of today are subject. This
erroneous conclusion has prevented
the demonstration of power which
is able to deliver from every form of
evil.
lmpossibilities do not occur. What
has been done in the past can be ac
complished today. If particular re-
suit has followed the combination or
succession of causes, that result will
always follow when the same and no
other influences are at work.
Because mortals have believed that
the healing works of the Master were
unnatural experiences, they have not
tried to understand how those works
were accomplished; Notwithstanding
the fact that the great demonstration
of Gods power TO heal all human ills,
declared that the believer in all ages
would be able to do the works that
he did.
Miracles Divinely Natural
Believers in the Christian religion
have accepted the miracles of the
Bible as demonstrations of divine pow
er. Christian Science presented new
view of those miracles when it de-
clared that the wonderful works &C.
complished by holy men of God were
not contrayentions of law. They
were not brought about through sus.
pension of the laws of nature, nor by
arousing dormant forces and powers
which have since returned to their
former state. Those healing works
were marvellous because human exper.
fence was unfamiliar with them
Nevertheless they were the divinely
| natural result of the operation of law
which is ever present and ever active
| Because law is not recognized is nc
| evidence of its nonexistence, and be.
cause the operation of law is not
comprehended is no proof that the
| law is imperative.
All progress is the result of obedi
ence to law. The wonderful inven
tions of the last century were as pos
sible 5000 years ago as they are now
There is no law in operation, or il
| existence today that has not been il
| operation since time began. AnC
there never has been law which il
not in operation at this moment. L
| this be true, and if the works of TIT
Master and his followers were the re
suit of obedience to law, then al
those works are possible today, anC
even greater demonstrations can bC
expected, for no intelligent person
believes that the possibilities of infn
| lite law have been realized.
Advantages of Christian Healing
Many helpless invalids have wished
it were possible to heal the sick today
| in the same manner as the sick were
healed by the primitive Christians
and most persons are persuaded that
if such good works could be accom-
plished, the hope of overcoming the
ills of the flesh would rest upon q
more sure foundation. Christian
Science declares that it is possible tC
heal all manner of disease through
| spiritual means, as was demonstrated
by the members of the early church
since those healing works were accom-
plished through obedience to divine
law and that law is in full force to-
day manifesting the will of God
This Christianly scientific method
of healing has many advantages. II
is the one universal remedy for al
discordant conditions: it is the most
effective healing method the world
has ever known, and it avoids the
possibility of disastrous results of Cd.
erations and material methods OF
healing. 1t is always available. There
is never a time or a place that the
remedy is not at hand, for Gods law
and love are ever present and omnip-
otent. Is it not believed that GOD
is ever-present to help all men in the
overcoming of sin ? Why then should
1t seem unreasonable to declare that
God is ever-presenU to help in the
overcoming of other discordant condi-
tions
When Paul was permitted to plead
his own cause in the presence of King
Agrippa and the principal men of the
city, he asked this searching question:
"Why should it be thoughts thing in
credible with you, that God should
raise the dead?'' And so Christian
Science is asking of thinking men
and women of today, believers
in God, believers in the verify
of the sacred writings, believers in
the power and efficacy of prayer, why
