ease, inevitably begins.

disease, inevitably begins.
1t should DE clearly seen, however
that Christian Science healing is not
mere mental method or mental
process involving simply the enter
tainment and repetition OF certain
thoughts Being scientific 1t de-
mands accurate, intelligent, meta
physical discernment and analysis
and correct application of its divine
Principle, which must be done men-
tally. But above all it requires d
clear consciousness of the allness OF
God, Spirit, and His ideas, and the
nothingness of His opposite, eVfl,
matter and their beliefs, which con-
stitute the carnal mind.
This illumined consciousness, TINS
healing consciousness, which may
be acquired in a degree by anyone to-
day, divine Love alone makes pos
sible, for divine Love, reflected
through right knowing and right liy-
ing, is the real healer in Christian
Science, the only one named by Mrs.
Eddy, and the only one recognized by
Christian 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 is pos
sible through Christian Science, may
be cause for regret but never Tor dis
ouragement or criticism. They re-
ioice that Jesus works prove Christian
Science to be true, and they are CRATE
full that Mrs. Eddy discovered the
Ccience of Christian realing and gave
it to the world for all to demonstrate
in the degree that they understand 1t.
Love for Mrs. 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
are grateful to one who has helped
them out of a serious difficulty, sup
piled some great need or rescued them
from some disaster. How much more
grateful should they naturally be TO
one who has made it possible for them
to be healed of so-called incuraDle
disease, hopeless sorrow, the bond
age of degrading sin, and who also
healed them of agnOsticism and
atheism by revealing to them the
naturalness, simplicity and truth OF
the Bible teachings and the POSSIBLE
ity of their fulfillment.
The whole world is indebted to her
for her scientific and spiritual inter-
probation of the Bible, especially the
words and works of the Master, and
for her demonstration of the truth or
his teaching. In the face of the So
called higher criticism and the doubt
respecting the correctness OF mucn
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 thereby the truth of Christianity
and the rightness of it's basis is
scientifically established. This mas
never been done before.
Mrs. Eddy early learned that the
Bible is the word Of God, the spiritual
teacher of the ages. She turned to 1t
for light and leading when human
ways and means failed to give health
and hope, and she was healed. In its
inspired pages she found Christian
Science, the spiritual fulfillment OF
Jesus teaching and practice, and dis
covered the Science of Christianity.
This healing, which was the begin
ming of Mrs. Eddy's great discovery,
occurred just fifty years ago last
February and when we consider the
marvellous results which have been
achieved during this relatively 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
wisdom and foresight she insured the
safety of the Christian Science or
ganization and the preservation OF
the purity of her teachings by estab-
fishing The Mother Church as the
anchor of the Christian Science
movement and by providing a Man
ual for the government Of the Church
and a Board of Directors to admin
lister it's affairs in accordance with
this Manual, and is obedience to her
instructions.
To Christian Scientists Mrs. Eddy
is a living example Of the triumph OF
faith in God, faith deep and vital
because rooted in spiritual expert
ence. 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
her all for the "pearl of great price
the knowledge of God, and offered 1t
to all the world / knew Mrs. Eddy
personally, was associated with her
on many occasions, and Know
whereof 1 speak. But words fail to
do her justice.
FuIfllment of Mission
Christian Science is the renals-
sance of Christianity, the rebirth ana
establishment on scientific, dem
onstrable basis, of the Christianity
which Christ Jesus taught and prac-
ticed. 1t is the fulfllment Of his mis-
sion lof bringing to the world saliva
ton from sin, sickness and death. It's
modest achievements of today prove
the truth of its Principle and rule
