but the evil which | would not that !

In conformity with this statement
of the great Apostle, Christian Science
teaches that the evil is act ,he. man
but is always impersonal and only
acts in so Tar as IL is believed to be
true by deceived human sense. and
! this sepa ration between man and false
material belief has a very significant
relation to the healing of sin as well
as disease.
HUMAN SENSE HEALED
The healing work is accomplished
in tho human mind by bringing about
change of consciousness wherein

corrected. This human mind Is that
! quality of consciousness which EN- .
bra ces error and yet which can begin
to know divine Truth. 1t is the plane
On which the real can reach the un-
real 1t is a kind of clearing house
where Truth can be known, where cr.
rcr can be corrected and where har-
mony can be established. 1t is tran

perfect consciousness, still influenced

Christ can come, healing 1t OF It's
erroneous beliefs and renewing 1t with
the mind of Christ. Mortal mind or
the carnal mind is wholly evil and
erroneous but the human mind, al
though containing much error, pos
sesses also some good. 1t is this ele-
ment of good which is quickened and
enlarged through the appearance OF
the Christ in consciousness, and which
will eventually be so transformed that
all error will be destroyed and the per-
feet. spiritual, harmonious conscious
ness of the real man he established.
Christian Science heals sin in the
same manner that il heals sickness, by
recognizing the fact that evil is the
opposite of good or the absence of
good, and thus has neither Principle
nor power: that il is no part of God $
creation since in the infinity of good
there can be no place for evil. 1t
shows that evil is "A lie, "a liar, and
the father of it, as Jesus termed it,
and that il exists in the human con-
sciousness only as a false belief Of
good. when Christian Science reaches
the consciousness of the sinner, II
shows him the deceptive character of
evil, and awakens him from the mes
merle dream, the bondage in which he
has been held lie is thus set free and
! evil no longer appeals to him. He
ceases indulging In II because the de-
sire has been destroyed by the pres
| ence and power of divine Love, he
has begun to work out his salvation
through Christ.
THREE MODES OF HEALING
Christian Science healing reaches
the individual in three ways. First,
through reading of Christian Science
or hearing ii spoken. This healing Is
accomplished when the truth of the
written or spoken word enters a re.
ceptive consciousness and brings about
q change in the quality of the thought,
so that there is an awakened interest,
Il new view point, clearer vision, an
uplifted sense. removal of fear,
ycarning satisfied, the darkness of
evil dispelled, and the brightness and
power of good made manifest; the
majesty, glory and presence of infinite
divine Mind revealed. This improved
consciousness is then eXternalized in
improved bodily conditions and health
and harmony are expressed. II surely
proves the divinity of Christian Sci
ence for the healing is solely the re-
suit Of the declaration of divine Truth.
Second, healing is effected through
the effort made by person to apply
the Principle and rule of Christian
accomplished by the study Of the Bible
and the Christian Science text book
and by the application of the Masters
teaching in a scientific way, whether
II be case of disease. sin or other
discord This healing likewise results
from the destruction of erroneous be-
liefs by the presence of divine Truth
and Love in consciousness.
Third. healing Is effected through
nv IN
ply the truth to the problems of an
other person. The possibility of one
person healing another through men
tai endeavor has often been doubted
and misunderstood. especially in
Christian Scitnce healing where there
is no transfer of mortal thought This
healing is explained by the fact that
a problem presented to n practitioner
for solution becomes the practitioners
problem and is affected by his thought
of Truth. when one knows the truth
and reflects IL, that consciousness be-
comes more spiritual and everything
included in IL and to which II is di-
reCted is benefited thereby. The
patient asking for treatment has at
least a slight degree of faith or eX-
pectancy and If he Is earnest and hon
est he will get the benefit of the truth
which Is known about him and which
is brought to bear upon his problem.
In Christian Science treatment there
is no effort ut mental manipulation,
for the mortal mind is not factor in
the healing
To know the absolute divine truth
about man and the nothingness of
mortal mind, brings truth to bear
upon the case no matter whether the
person Is near by or far away.
Christian Science healing results from
an awakened consciousness produced
by the Christ Mind and neither time,
distance, matter nor evil enter into
II n9r can they interfere with II.
Christian Science heals through the
operation of divine law, the law whose
Principle Is infinite Spirit. Life and
Love, and anyone can heal through
Christian Science who will apply this
law of God exactly and honestly.
Respecting this Mrs. Eddy has said:
To-day the healing power of Truth
is widely demonstrated as an imma-
nent eternal Science, instead of a phe-
nomenal exhibition. Its appearing is
the coming anew of the gospel of 'on
