organization Is apparent. but Wnen
examination discloses no diseased or
gan or nerve, those fears are regarded
as intangible and superstitious. The
fear from superstition is called a de-
lusion, and is said to be unreal. The
patient is said to be deceived by an un-
reality. In either case we must know
how to prove to the patient the unre-
ality of his fear, just as Jesus did
when he said, Peace be STILL" and
the storm abated.
Physicians have observed that the
depressing and poisonous effects of
fear, anger, hatred, jealousy and SO
forth are relieved by the wholesome
effects of faith, hope, cheerfulness and
loving kindness which promote health.
How then shall they be administered
TO the patient? The method taught by
the schools is by suggestion, human
will, and human reason, which are as
material as the disease. They may
be employed just as well by a wicked
man, by an infidel or pagan,-one
who knows nothing about the truth of
God. The Christian Scientist, on the
other hand, employs only the spiri-
| tual Mind which transcends brain or
matter. That Mind is never trans
mitted through suggestion; because it
is everywhere present, and its govern
ment prevails wherever it is most
needed by the patient. We simply
have to understand the ever-presence
and activity of that truth for the pa
| tient, and the truth makes free. The
scripture says that Fear hath tor
ment," but perfect love casteth out
| ear" There is no remedy known to
the human consciousness for fear of
my sort, save alone divine love. 1t is
that understanding OF the divine Mind,
/ whose nature is Love, that gives to the
Christian Scientist the spiritual power
10 wipe out the fear of consumption
and to remove it's physical effects
1t is on that basis that Christian Sci
ence heals all manner of disease.
| Human Will.
| A ell-known naturalist once de-
scribed an interesting experience that
illustrates the operation of human
|
western plains, intent ON observing on
the distant horizon two rapidly NOV
| ing objects. In their rapid move
ments these objects drew nearer and
nearer, until it could be observed that
| they were two elk,-the larger one in
hot pursuit of the smaller The small
er one was fleeing for his life and re-
| lying on the strength of animal will
| for safety. But even the animal had
the instinct to know that his animal
will was getting wearied and exhaust
ed, indeed that it had an end, and with
| it's end would come his own destruc-
| ton, whereupon even that animal
began to look beyond outside of him
self, for some higher, greater power
on which to rely. Recognizing as by
instinct a greater power in humanity,
he rushed to the feet of those two men
and stopped in their protection. The
larger one, observing the situation,
checked his pace, circled about twice
and then loped away.
Thus it is with suffering humanity
Relying on the strength of human will
| for healing, it finally discovers that
the human will gets wearied, run
down and exhausted; that it has an
end, and with it's end, hope is swal-
lowed up in despair. In that extreme
situation, when the physician makes
that solemn pronouncement, There
is no more hope, because there is no
more strength of will to sustain life
or existence" then poor, suffering hu-
manity begins to look beyond, outside
itself for something higher, greater
power on which to rely. Then
MANS extremity is Gods opportu-
nifty. Turning to the one source of in
telligence for guidance, humanity
feels the touch of Truth, or reality,
and is made we'll again. He finds him
self sustained by the gentle presence
and peace of divine Love- In that
sweet sense of heaven here and now,
he feels a strength and power that is
never wearied, never exhausted; but
is eternal in heaven-the heaven that
| Jesus said is within you, right within
i ones own consciousness.
