SAYS MANY ARE HEALED
BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Dr.. George Shaw Cook Discusses
Methods and Teachings Of
the Church.

That through the ministry of Christian
Science many thousands of persons have
been healed of disease, raised from the
depth of degradation and have been en-
abled to overcome the handicaps of pow
erty and incompetency was the declara-
ton of Dr. George Shaw Cook of Chicago,
Ill, a member of the board of lecture
ship of the First Church of Christ. Sci
enlist. in Boston. Mass. in an address at
Polls Theater yesterday.
The teaching of Christian Science con-
corning the cause and care of disease
Dr. Cook said. has to a great extent re-
vised the worlds thought on this subject.
Many observing physicians are willing to
admit much in the direction of the mental
cause of diSeaS more, indeed. than lay
men who have less opportunity for OBJ
servation. Christian Science goes beyond
the most progressive physicians and de-
clares that all disease is of mental origin.

Human Mind Cause of Discord.

such a premise as the one stated is.
however, mistaken, and therefore the
conclusion drawn from it must be and
is incorrect The fact is that Christian
Science regards the so-called human or
mortal mind as the cause of all dis
cord. including disease. and regards the
immortal or divine mind as the only
efYectual healer Of mortal discord.
To-day. when there are in different
parts of the world more than. 1900
Christian Science organizations found
ed upon the rock of Christ-healing,
Mrs. Eddy Is generally acknowledged
as the discoverer of Christian Science
and the revered leader of the Christian
Science movement. And Christian
Science is gradually coming to be
recognized as the establishment or
restoration of primitive Christianity.
As this understanding becomes more
general, sand consequently the resist

How to Effect Permanent Cure.

Christian Science says that in order to
effect permanent cure erroneous
thought conditions must be corrected OF
removed by means of right thinking. 1,
shows that fear is needless and explains
why it is needless. In this way it removes
fear. 1t shows that the so-caled law OF
heredity and other cruel laws which
claim to hold mortals in bondage and
cause them to scken and die are not of
God.
Through overcoming these beliefs which
ultimate in the experience called death
Christian Science is gradually leading its
students away from belief in death.
Christian Scientists believe that
they have demonstrated by results al
ready attained that Mrs. Eddy has
surely discovered and correctly set
forth the principle and law by which
Jesus healed all manner of disease
among the people of His time. Jesus
said of His work, can of mine own
self do nothing. The Father that
dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.
The Father referred to by Jesus as
being the principle of His works was,
according to Christian Science. the di-
vine mind. Jesus further said to His
followers, He that believeth on Me. the
works that 1 do shall he do also
Christian Scientists believe that as fol-
lowers of Christ Jesus they have a
right to do these works.
