SCIENCE TREATMENT

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TREATMENT
A Christian Science treatment, or
the scientific application of divine
Principle, consists fundamentally of
a clear knowing of the nature of God
and the real man, and the consequent
recognition of the unreality of matter
and evil. 1t involves an analysis of
that which is to be healed a spiritual
discernment of the mental causes of
the trouble. and correct application
of the antidoting divine Truth which
Will correct and remove these causes.
Although this is a mental process, it
is not mere repetition of words but
J rather the reflection ofSdivine Love
through spiritual consciousness 1t
brings about not merely a physical
change but improves the patient
morally, mentally and spiritually. H.
brings "A man nearer to God ana
changes his standpoint from ma.
terial to a spiritual basis. 1t uplifts
his thought. gives him power over
evil and improves his whole being in
the degree that he can grasp it's truth
Christian Scientists know that with
God all things are possible" and that
Christian Science can accomplish all
, the wonders of infinite Mind. Hence
they are striving day by day to have
in them more of the Mind that was in
this healing power more and more ef-
fectually. They are deeply grateful
To-Day for the good that has already
come to them and the good they have
been able to do to others, especially
that they have learned to know the
unreality of evil and have thus begun
to defend themselves against its in

compassionate God who will guide
them and sustain them, "a very pres

Each of us can begin today to i'm
prove our thought and life. We are
thinking something all of the time
and we can begin to think more of
what is good and true, bearing in mind
the supremacy of good and thus in
cie1sing its presence in our conscious
ness. We can begin to think more
about life than death, more about
harmony than discord, more about
success than failure more about joy
than sorrow, more about love than
hate, and with earnest desire and
honest endeavor our faith in God will
grow until we begin to experience
some of the peace of God. which
passeth all understanding"
LOVE fOk MKS. EDDY
The love and gratitude which
Christian 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 arc
grateful to one who has helped them

tul would they naturally be to one
who has made il possible for them TO

less sorrow, the bondage of degrading
sin. Of anger, lust, hatred, jealousy,
revenge, poverty, ignorance, SUPER
stiton and fear, and more than this,
who has healed them of agnosticis,n
and atheism by revealing to them the
naturalness, simplicity and truth OF
the Bible teachings and the possibility
OF their fulfilment.
The whole world is indebted to her
for her Scientific and spiritual inter-
pretation of the Bible, especially TIE
words and works OF the Master, and
for her demonstration of the truth OF
his teachings. In the face of the So
called higher criticism and the doubt
respecting the correctness of much
Scripture teaching and the possibility
of obeying Christ Jesus commands,
Mrs 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 its basis is
scientifically established.
MIS-. Eddy early learned that the
Bible is the word of God the spiritual
teacher of the ages. She turned to Il
for light and leading when human
ways and means failed to give health
and hope. In its inspired pages she
found Christian Science, the spiritual
fulfilment of Jesus teachings and
practice and she thus redscovered
the Science of Christianity. The proof
OF the sincerity of her aspiration and
of the truth of her teaching is found
in her own life and works and i'm the
lives Of those who honestly study and
daily strive to practice Christian
Science. She did not leave her work
here until 1T was so established as to
remain intact and inviolate.
with wisdom and foresight she in
sured the safety of the Christian
Science organization and the preser-
walton of the purity of her teachings
by establishing The Mother Church as
the anchor of the Christian Science
movement and by providing a Manual
Tor the government of the church, and
Board of Directors to administer its
affairs
To Christian Scientists Mrs. Eddy is
living example of the triumph OF
faith In God, faith deep and vital
because rooted in spiritual experience.
She knew God Alright. She looked to
divine intelligence and proved that
God Is Mind. She was governed by
spiritual law and proved that God
Is Principle. She looked to God for
health and proved Him to be Life.
She loved all mankind and proved that
God is Love. She gave all for the
pearl of great price," the knowledge
of God, and offered il to all the world.
Christian Science is the renaissance
of Christianity, the birth and re-
establishment on n scientific, demon-
trable basis, of the Christianity which
Christ Jesus taught and practiced It
is the fulfiilmont of His mission
of bringing to the world salvation
from sin, sickness and death. Its
modest achievements of today prove
the truth of its Principle and rule and
enable any sincere seeker to begin to
live It, 1t is n clarion call to every
aspiring heart, to awaken to the pres
rnt privilege of freedom and spiritual
authority over human ills. and to
demonstrate that the day of human
redemption is at hand.
