that book has brought the heallng
Comforter to multitudes of those in
sickness and distress, and made them
every whit whole
Mrs Eddy had thus become the dis
coverer of Christian Science, and the
founding of its institutional work was
to follow In her joy to share such q
great blessing she appealed to the
spiritual thought of learned men, only
to suffer the rebuff of dignifed silence
Her first ray of hope came when that
silence was turned into ridicule and
abuse; for il meant that she had
gained at least a hearing Deserted
by friends and relatives, and opposed
by subtle and powerful influences
whichever way she turned this wo-
man patiently kept her course in the
founding of the various institutions
of Christian Science, until the move
ment has spread itself over this world
and all within her own lifetime. BY
her clear statement of scientific Chris
tianity, Mrs. Eddy has enormously in
creased the number of followers of
Christ's teachings. The sick are heal
ed of bodily ailments by. reading its
literature; the sinner may know how
to liberate himself from his sin; and
greatest of all, the pure-minded is
given the power to save himself from
the general belief IN sin so that the
good he desires to do. that he can do.
Mrs. Eddy has therefore proved, in ac-
cordance with the vision in the apoc-
alypse, that a pure-minded woman,
armed with Science, can unlock the
secrets of the law Of the spirit of life
in Christ Jesus" and reveal the prom
Used Comforter.
Try as hard as one may. it is inn
possible to separate Moses from the
or Jesus from the
beatitudes. When Jesus had that ex-
allied vision of law and prophesy on
the Mount of TRANSPORTATION the hu-
man representative of law and proph-
esy became apparent to those near
enough to get the lesson. 1t is equally
certain that the human representative
of scientific Christianity can never be
from the spiritual treasures
which she has opened to our use.
DISEASE MENTAL
Jesus healed physical disease on the
basis that the Truth makes free. Four
thousand years of medicine has en-
deavored to force the conclusion that
disease is purely physical, and that it
requires a physical remedy. The result
is that diseases have actually multi
piled. Jesus proved that sickness, dis
ease and fear are the errors and not
the truths of being, and they can be
healed by mental process. Their
basis being wholly material. and mat
ter being mortal error, the truth of
God dispels those errors just as light
iispels darkness,-just as the under
standing that two and two are four
iispels any denial of that fact. And
