proves true to the text the purest
teaching of the Scriptures relative to
God and the significance of His being
and creation. Il points out the error
Of the practice of confounding the
term God (Elohim), or Spirit, with
that of Lord God Jehovah Elohim),
or even Lord. II holds with the very
best authority that these terms. with
their varying shades Of meaning, are
not synonymous.
The practice of Christian Science
has demonstrated that the false ma
terial laws which by common belief
and consent operate through fear,
| ignorance, and superstition to incapa-
citate mortals and cause invalidism,
are rendered null and void by the high
er law of Mind. The individual
knowledge of this and its application,
naturally effects the eradication of the
discordant conditions which may be
held in thought or externalized on the
body.
There is nothing mysterious OF mir
aculous about the modus operandi Of
Christian Science healing, since an in
finite and irrevocable law provides for
reconstruction, readjustment, restora,
ton, recovery or redemption, in &C
cordance with the supreme wisdom
and power Of the Principal which es-
tablished the law.
The changes wrought in conscious
ness, and which result in the healingI
Of the sick according to the practice
! of Christian Science, are in no sense
due TO the use of hypnotism or sug-
gestive therapeutics. The domination
of a submissive mentality or consci-
BUSINESS by an imperative one, is re
| cOgnized as a dangerous practice, the
| bulk OF the results therefrom being
evil rather than good Moreover the
| practice is unchristian, because con
trary to the teaching Of Jesus, who
denounced and repudiated such me-
thods. The exercise Of the human will
as evidenced in one human or mortal
mind dominating another, was char
acterized by the Master as the equival-
ent of casting out devils by the prince
OF devils
importance Of Right Thinking.
The simplicity of the mode Of heal
| ing wrought through spiritual means
is fully appreciated when one realizes
that wrong thought is responsible for
the appearance of disease. Jesus re.
garded evil thinking as the source Of
all disorders He indicates in words
which appear in two of the gospels
| Matthew and Mark-that the dehle-
ment or Contamination OF the body
was due to "evil thoughts" or the
habit Of wrong thinking He thus
taught that an exceedingly close init
macy exists between consciousness
and It's lower substratum,- the body
or embodiment. We might designate
their relationship under normal condi
tions as that OF master and servant
! Following the teaching Of Christian
Science and by educating conscious
ness in the way OF righteousness and
peace many thousands have found, to
their great establishment and JOY, that
it is possible to obtain an improved
mentality or consciousness, and this
in turn exerts a corrective influence
over the body. This experience has
repeatedly operated advantageously to
ones recovery from discords, which
seemed TO appear wherever and when
ever the normal relationship of con
seriousness and body-that of servant
and master-was not well defined OF
understood
The varied experiences of humanity
abundantly prove that turbulent OF
extreme mental conditions have
caused pain and disease in accordance
with existing mortal laws. The So
called mortal or material man seems
TO be the one who is especially sub
! ject TO these experiences. To rescue
all who believe in this standard Of
man. and who suffer the bitter con
sequences of such belief, was the
chief mission of Christ Jesus 1900
years ago, and this is the exact mis-
sion Of Christian Science today.
Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
/ That there is a divine law operating
/ in the affairs of men to accomplish
healing and salvation through spiritu
al understanding today, is the reyela
! ton of Christian Science to the world
( II, as the Master and his disciples
I proved a law existed and operated
10 effect healing and redemption f.
their time, it surely exists and is ope
rative now Mrs. Eddy has again and
again in her writings illustrated the
simple manner of accomplishing the
healing of the body through mental
processes. An instance in point L.
found on page 428 OF Science ana
Health, which reads as follows I'VE
must realize the ability of mental
might to offset human misconceptions
ana 70 replace them with the life
which is spiritual not material" And
again on page 1893 we have the en-
phatic declarations: Take possession
OF your body, and govern its feeling
and action, Rise in the strength OF
Spirit to resist all that is unlike good.
God has made man capable OF this,
and nothing can yitiate the ability
and power divinely bestowed on man.
Be firm in your understanding that
the divine Mind governs, and that in
Science man reflects Gods govern.
