pears. Christian Science, therefore,
teaches that the cause Of all disease
is mental, and not physical, and that
both sin and disease may be cured by
one and the same metaphysical pro-
cess, namely, by the substitution OF
spiritual truth in place Of error and
false belief in the human conscious
ness. a
aye Shall Know the Truth and
the Truth Shall Make
You Free"
It is recorded in the 9Th Chapter Of
the Gospel of John that upon one oc-
casion when Jesus was being harassed
by the lawyers and theologians, who
were plying him with questions and
seeking to entrap him by his answers,
he turned to q group Of his followers,
who were standing near, and said to
them, aye shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you frcs." In all
of the Bible there is no statement Of
greater importance to mankind than
this utterance of the Master. He pre-
scribes the remedy for every human III.
Knowledge of thing must come thru
the mental and not thru the physical,
hence, according to the words Of Je-
sus, mankind will be delivered from
sin, disease and death not by doctor
ing the physical, but by filling the
mental with truth. If this statement
of Jesus was true, it follows by ire
sistible logic that the enslaving c0ndi-
tons from which humanity suffers
must be due to the belief Of something
which is not true. In other words, If
the time is ever to come, as Jesus has
declared that it will come, when the
knowledge of the truth shall emanci-
pate humanity from its bondage to
sickness, sin, unhappiness, poverty,
old age and death, such results can on
" be brought about when the know
ledge of the truth shall have displaced
and destroyed tout Of human con-
sciousness), the belief Of that which
is not true. There is no escape from
this conclusion.
Christian Science shows that it is the
effect produced by Truth operating
in the human mentality, destroying
superstition, false and vicious beliefs
that must and will some day emanci-
pate mankind from bondage to sin,
disease and death.
