was composed of atoms brought to- gcther and held together under vary ing conditions. and that the atom was material Hence, they said that since the starting point of matter was the material, atom, matter must of necessity be substance.
 Mrs. Eddy took no pains 10 de fend her statements upon the sub jeCt. She had seen the truth about it and, knowing that it was the truth she was quite content to let the statement Of her discovery go into consciousness, well knowing that in the end the truth would prevail. II is most interesting, therefore, 10 observe what has taken place since then. Within recent years a physi- cal scientist discol cred that the atom is not the starting point of matter. and that the atom Is itself composed of eleCtrons. When asked to state the nature and character of the electron, he said that it was energy, which is not material sub stance Since then the physicists have come out frankly and fairly and now say that any inquiry con corning the nature and character of the electron should be referred to the physician, and that the whole subject belongs to the domain of metaphysics and not physics.
 The far-reaching effect of this is at once apparent, for it frankly ad- mits that the starting-point of mat ter is not material, but mental
 Cause and Cure of Disease.
 The imporance of this cannot be oyerestimated All sin, disease, and death come from the belief Of life, intelligence, sensation, and substance in matter. If it be true, and it now seems to be settled, that there is no life in matter that it has no senSa- ton or intelligence, and is not sub stance, then il follows that all ma terial theories concerning disease, and the method of solving all hu- man problems. will have to be changed from a material to spirit ual basis. If matter is itself merely a thing of thought objcctitied, it fol lows that disease in whatever form, is also merely the objectifiCation of uIStdStu bflitiS upon Jll' lluiAt''ii body, and that such beliefs originate in the carnal mind, and not in the body, but are manifested on the body only after they are formulated
 in the material or Carnal mind. If this be true, and it is true beyond all possible question, it then follows that the correct way to treat dl- scase is not through matter nor by giving material remedies and drugs to the body, but by destroying the images of disease out of the human mind.
 Every one must sne at a glance that disease is not itself an entity. It has no mind. intelligence yolition, nor presence Disrasc is neither self-created nor was it created by God It originates in the first in stance in the carnal human mind in the form of diseased thought, and is then objectified cn the body by the material beliefs of that same carnal mind. The true way to cure it. therefore, is to give to the human mind something that will neutralize and destroy the disease producing qualities and beliefs. The thing that does this is the Christ-truth, which Christian Science brings to the hu- man mind, and in this way Christian Science has healed very many poo- ple from all kinds of diseases

No Substance in Matter.


 Jesus knew that tn re was no sub stance in matter, and he knew 1t so perfectly that He walked through solid doors and walls. He knew what was true about matter, namely, that
 it is only the manifested belief of the material, carnal mind, and since he did not have that material mind, matter did not appear to him as sub stance. His consciousness was Splr-
 tualizcd He knew that the only substance is Spirit, but because Of
 he material element in their con sciousness the people were unable to see or comprehend Spirit as sub stance. They could only think Of matter as substance, and, therefore, to them, matter appeared as sub stance.
 Knowing that there was no sub stance in matter, he knew that man was not material. Mrs. Eddy pointed out many years ago in Science and Health Opp. 476, AID that Jesus saw
 the real man where mortals saw the mortal man, and that his true view healed the sick The more one pom ders over this statement the more 1t becomes apparent that it is neces' sarily true. When there came to Jesus the man who had been born blind, and who had grown from ln- fancy to mature years without the perfect organs of sight, Jesus healed him instantly He looked through the material veil and saw the real man, who, in every case, IS perfect. Jesus knew that God had never created one of His children without sight. God never made an imper- feet man. Man being perfect has perfect spiritual senses, and by see ing the perfect man Jesus pulled away the mask, and allowed the per feet condition to appear. When the paralytic was brought to him, Jesus, by seeing the real man, pulled away the mask created by the material beliefs of the carnal mind, thus al lowing the real condition of harmony and perfect beng to appear and the man was instantly healed. Since the real man is perfect in every case, when the imperfect material beliefs are destroyed by the operation o1 the truth human beings cannot fail to manifest improved conditions.
 Jesus also knew that since man was not material and does not live in matter, he could not die in mat ter. He knew this so clearly that he was able to call Lazarus forth after | his body had been in the tomb four | days. Jesus knew that the real man, being spiritual, can never die, for | God is his Life When he stood before the tomb of Lazarus He knew that the only thing that had taken place there was that certain human | beings, who were governed by the carnal mind, had accepted a changed 1 belief concerning Lazarus. They be- | lieved that he had lived in matter and was material, and hence that | he had died in matter Jesus looked 1 through the mask and saw the real man who was alive all of the time, and by seeing the real man. Jesus destroyed the false concept. and thus made it possible for the real condi- ton of Life to appear. Having seen the real man, who was alive every ' instant, all that Jesus needed to do
