This then is one of the initial and
essential steps In the science Of Chris
tian healing-the recognition Of the
unreality of ali that which is unlike
God, that 1t has but a seeming and not
an actual existence. Unless this stand
is equivocally taken, and maintained,
Christian healing cannot be scientih-
cally or successfully demonstrated.
The order of scientific Christian
healing therefore is expressed first, in
the knowledge of perfect God and per-
feet man. followed by the recognition
of the erroneous nature of disease,
sin and all that is unlike God, then in
the application of absolute truth TO
the elimination of error, so that right.

Convincing Evidence.


There is an old saying that, The
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
When John the Baptist sent two of
his disciples to determine whether
Christ Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus,
according to Luke's statemnt. having
cured many of their infirmities and
plaques, and Of evil spirits, and given
sight unto many that were blind, an
swered them, saying; Go your way,
and tell John what things We have seen
and heard; how that the blind see, the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the
/ deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to
the poor the gospel is preached. And
blessed is he, whatsoever shall not be
offended in me-
THE fact that Christian science
heals can readily be determined by any
sincere investigator, and the support
| ing evidence reveals it's coincidence
with spiritual healing, thus proving
this healing to be true and possible to-
t day and establishing the fact that
/ Christian Science is Messianic.
The Philosophy of Healing.
I'VE are nov in position TO examine
into the method by which Christian
healing is scientifically demonstrated.
According to the scripturaI &C
counts. the healing wrought by the
Master and his disciples, was accom-
plished through mental or spiritual
means alone, thus through some action
Of thought. Christian science healing
lis brought about in the same way. In
both. the healing principle and Law
are mental, and we are thus led te
examine into the nature of mind and
action.
Christian science teaches that mind
is that which thinks, that which ex.
Ipresses itself in ideas, intelligence

all manifestation, the principle and In.

Moreover. IL should not be forgot

Lord Salisbury advised English peo-
pie To study large maps. The advice
was reproof in negative form. What
the average Englishman lacks in i'm
agination; his greatest characteristic
is mis- inertia. Therein lies the essen
tia difference between the American
and the Englishman.
The American Is alive to the finger
tips, ready to make a stroke on the
instant; America is the country where
the immediate is welded 10 the i'm
aginstive. Given the addition Of per-
sistent lndustriousness, the comblna-
ton is one of which the whole of
trading Europe need have fear.
For some years America has been
Eng.ands granary; cheap ocean
fre!ghts enabled England's house
wives TO buy American -four at a
price for which tbs English farmer
could not grow the wheat, The Eu-
ropean farmer. notably in the ease
OF Belgium, Holland and England,
might get more bushels to the acre
than the American farmer, but the
expression of American industry was
then made manifest not in intensive
production per acre but in general
volume, irrespective of acreage. La
hOr saving devices and efficient work
did the rest, the millions of sacks OF
flour swampcd, for example. the Eng
lish farmer, with his small threshing
machine and his windmill.
Flying to the town, the farmland
became an Indifferent dock laborer.
To this day, therefore. the freedom of
the land Means nothing to an Eng
lishman. Only the banking system
of England and Germany keeps these
countries export trade alive in the
further corners OF the world. The
future Of America rests unon its ELL
cheney. How will that efficiency af-

Such countries as are not taking

Europe will not be demobilized until

will last for six months. Meanwhile
