formed by the renewing of your
 mind
 These significant statements from [ the Scriptures leave no room for doubt as tU the ,aus, oi sin, disease, and death. or their cure The CaruaI mind Is nothing more nor less than
 the unr"goucrated human mind. lt .~ the human mind in its
 natural state, when filled with hatred, seliishness. deceit. dishonesty, and other evil qualities, and with super sttiOn and false beliefs These evil
 and erroneous mental qualities result in sin, disease, and death, and in
 all human discord.
 The command is to get rid of CT
 roneous mental qualities. and to have
 in Us the mind which was also in
 Christ Jesus" for in this Mind there
 was not d single sinful quality nor
 any superstition or false religious belief. Thus the human mind is re- newed by the destruction of errone- ous and sinful mental qualities, and the substitution in their place of qualities that inhere in the Mind of the Master.
 As lulN It'IlfN Ills i1i ott70 0V'7 'tit sickness, suffering, and disCoTdant conditions begin to disappear, and when it is finished. and every nor tai thought has been brought into subjeCtion to Christ, then nan will be transformed from sim ing, sui fcring mortal into a state of peace and harmony The carnal mind with r. its sin and superstition produces the conditions that lead to death, while
 10 be spiritually minded, that is to have the Mind that was in Christ Jesus, lis life and peace Christian Science teaches that this is the pre- else process by which human beings are saved from sickness and sin. IL will thus be seen that Christian Science healing in every case is spiritual, and results from the opera
 ton of Truth or divine Principle in human consciousness, and not from the action of one human mind upon another, nor from human will, nor from hypnotism, nor from mental suS- gestiOn.
 To summarize the matter in sin
 gle sentence, il can be said that Christian Science healing is accom- plished through the activity of Tght thinking and right living, and in no other way can one demonstrate the Principle that heals.
 Mrs. Eddy's Discovery. Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be the DiscOyerer and Founder Ot Chris tian Science, and many people ask what it is that she has discovered. In reply it can be sald that she has discovered the law Ot Spirit which is spiritual truth.
 Mrs Eddy also studied the mir acles in the Old and New Testaments, and came to the inevitable Conclu- sion that all of those events were correlated by means of an underlying spiritual law that had been known and understood by the men who wrought them, and she said that if she could discover the law it would be found to operate in the same man her now as in Bible times; that it would be a healing law, and would 1 now heal people of sickness and sin and every evil human condition the | same as then.
 1 This idea grew and expanded in ! her consciousness until it became the 1 impelling motive of her en,ire life. | In the year 1866 she discovered the l law of Spirit, and named it Chris i tian Science After waiting nine
 years, during which time she sub 1 jected the Principle that she had discovered to the brOadest practical
 tests in healing sickness and other | forms of human disCOrd, she pub i lished a statement OJ Christian Sci l ence in d book which she entitled Science and Health with Key to the ! Scriptures" This book is now ev-
 erywhere recognized as the only text book of Christian Science A great religious movement has formed around | it's teachings whi h in one genera tion has 5irdled the earth with it's churches. The spread Of Christian l Science has been phenomenal, and | its growth has resulted from healing. ! Every adheIent of Christian Science 1 has actually been healed of some 1 sickness, disease or sinful appetite, l and most of them have been healed of many such conditions. These 1 facts are easily verified, and are worthy of very serious consideration. l Mrs Eddy discovered the law of 1 Spirit as truly as Sir Isaac Newton
 discovered the law of gravitatiOn, and
 this fact should be thoroughly under stood Just as Newton discovered 1 hat the movements of material bodies
 are regulated and governed by this
 material law, so Mrs. Eddy discov cred the Principle that governs the entire universe, including every de tail in the lives of men. That sl- preme, creative, gov erning, omni-
 present Mind or Principle is Cod, the only cause the only creator, the
 only Ruler of man and the universe. l Source of Good and Evil. Outside of Christian Science very 1 few people have ever reasoned out
 the question to their own SatiSlac-
 tion as to where good and evil come from, and still fewer have even a
 satisfactory theory as to how good
 may be secured or evil avoided in actual human experience.
 All through the centuries there has
 been q widespread belief that good and evil come as the result Of luck or
 chance, but this belief i5 necessarily incorrect. Among all polytheists, or
 those who believe in many gods, gods send good and that others send
 evil, and they seek to propitiate the latter by sacrifices and rites, be EEeving that in this way alone they can escape from evil.
