III HIS tpiSlIt iD tue lNollduS. Sl- Paul writes: The good that | would I do not; but the evil which | would not that do Now if I do that l would not. it is no more that do it. but sin that dwelleth in me" Note the distinction if you pleas, which St. Paul makes between the man and the sin. In conformity with this statement of the great Apostle Christian Science teaches that the evil is not the man ani the man iS never the evil that evil is always impersOnal and acts only in the degreo that it is believed to be real by the deceived human sense. Thus it seems to dwell in us. When this separation can be made, when it can be seen that God, divine Love. ia not the author of sin, disease and death, and there fore that they are no part of man. our healing. whether of sin or dis ease. inevitably begins.
 It should be clearly seen however. that Christian Science healing le not a mere mental method or men tai process involving simply the entertainment and repetition of cer, tain thoughts. Being scientific 1t demands accurate, intelligent, meta physical discernment and analysis and correct application of it's di- vine Principle, which must be done mentally. Above all it requires clear consciousness of the allness of God Spirit and His ideas, and the nothingness of His opposite, evil. matter and their beliefs. which con stitute the carnal mind.
 This illumincd consciousness, this healing consciousness which may be acquired in a degree by anyone to day, divine Love alone makes possi- be, for divine Love. reflected through right knowing and right living, is the real healer in Christian Science. the only one named by Mrs. Eddy, and the only one recognized by Chris tan Scientists
 The fact that Christian Scientists have not yet done all the wonderful works Jesus and his disciples did. nor have done all that they know i8 possible through Christian Science. f., hut for discouragement or criticism. They rejoice that Jesus works prove Chris tian Science to be true, and they are grateful that Mrs. Eddy dis. covered the Science of Christian healing and gave it to the world
 Love for Mrs. Eddy
 The love and gratitude which Chris tian Scientists feel toward Mrs. Eddy is not to be wondered at when one takes into account the great good which has come into their lives as the result of her teachings. People are grateful to one who has helped 1 them out of a serious difficulty, supplied some great need or res cued them from some disaster How much more grateful should they naturally be to one who has made so-called incurable disease, hopeless sorrow, the bondage of degrading sin, and who also has healed them of agnosticism and atheism by re vealing to them the naturalness. simplicity and truth of the Bible teachings and the possibility of their iulfillment.
 The whole world Is indebted to here for her scientific and spiritual interpretation of the Bible, especial ly the words and works of the Master, and for her demonstration of the truth of his teaching In the face of the sO-Called higher criticism and the doubt respecting the correctness of much Scripture teaching and the possibility of obey HIS ! III i9l Jt9l9 'olIHldlIi9t MI N- Eddy's proof that the Bible is true stands out as the greatest, most significant achievement of this age, for hereby the truth of Christianity and the rightness of it's basis is scientifically established This has never been done before
 Mrs Eddy early learned that the Bible is the word of God, the splr- itual teacher of the ages She turn ed to it for light and leading when human ways and means failed to give health and hope. and she was healed In it's inspired pages she found Christian Science, the spir- itual fulfillment of Jesus teaching and practice. and discovered the Science of Christianity. This heal ing, which was the beginning of Mrs. Eddy's great discovery, oc- cured just fifty years ago last February, and when we consider the marvellous results which have been achieved during this relative ly short interval We may well feel encouraged about the future.
 Mrs. Eddy did not leave her work here until it was so established as to remain intact and inViOlate With
