the human mind is renewed by the de-
struct1on of erroneous and sinful men
tai qualities, and the substitution i'll
their place of qualities that inhere in
the Mind of the Master.
AS this renewing process goes on
sickness, suffering and discordant con.
d1tlons begin to disappear, and when
it is finished, and every mortal thought
has been brought into subsection to
Christ, then man will be transformed
from SHINING, suffering mortal into a
state OF peace and harmony. The car
nal mind with it's sin and superstition
produces the conditions that lead to
death, while to be spiritually minded,
tnat is to have the Mind that was in
Christ Jesus, sis life and peace
Christian Science teaches that this is
the precise process by which human
beings are saved from sickness and
sin.
1t will thus be seen that Christian
Science healing in every case is spir
itual, and results from the operation
of Truth or divine Principle in human
consciousness, and not from the ac-
tion of one human mind upon another,
nor from human will, nor from hyp-
notism, nor from mental suggestion.
To summarize the matter in a sin
gle sentence, it can be said that Chris
ton Science healing is accomplished
through the activity of right thinking
and right living, and in no other way

that heals.
Jesus healed the sick without drugs,
and, what is more important to us, he
taught otner people how to do SO, thus
proving that his method of healing
physical disease by spiritual means
could be taught to others, and under
stood and practiced by them.
AS the disciples walked UP and
down the country with Jesus, listen
ing to mis- explanations of spiritual
truth, and watching him apply this
truth to human needs as he healed the
leper, the lame, the deaf, the blind.
wnom he met by the wayside, they be-
gan to understand for the first time
that divine Love is adequate to meet
/ every human need, and that Jesus has
| come to teach the way whereby every
one might learn how to prove it.
Moses and the prophets also healed
the sick and raised the dead and did
many other wonderful works in dem
onstration of the power of Spirit to
meet human needs, and the Old Testa-
ment is filed with such instances.
It will thus be seen that the know!
edge of spiritual truth, and the method
of it's application to deliver people
from sickness, sin ard every kind of
evil human condition has reappeared
| upon the earth at many times, and it
is claimed for Christian Science that
it is the temperance in o1r own
generation of the understanding of the
same spiritual law that was known
and understood in part by Moses anu
the prophets, and which was perfectly
understood and demonstrated by
, Jesus, and by him taught 20 his dis

less than return to primitive Chris.
