computation II IS not ms VIII when makes the correction, but the mathe- nautical truth which he knows ana applies to the el TOT through mathe- n.atical under standing. The correct ing power is. inherent in the truth itself, not in the will Of the mathe- matician. Will-pOwer has nothing to do with the result, and would stand i in the way if it were used. So when d sin or an i'll is healed through Christian Science it is net the will of the Christian Scientist that does the healing. out the divine Truth which he knows and applies to the human error through his uaderstand- Ing of Christian Science. The correct ing and healing power IS inherent in thte truth itself, not in the vii cf the Christian Scientists Will, power has nothing to do with the healing; Il would stand in the way if il were used.
 Jesus said: ''Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you i free" for by knowing the truth we reflect Truth and bring it into ac- 1 tion in thought This definitely dis tinguishes Christian Science healing from hypnotism, magnetism occult 1 ism, or mental suggestion in any form. The mental manipulator en- deaVors to secure control of the pa 1 tients mentality, to dominate il and superimpOse upon it or infect into it i his own thought, will, purpose or de- ! sire; be it good or evil, right or wrong. This shows the great danger 1 of that method. Whereas the Chris tian Scientist. knowing the nature of | God and the real man to be spiritual and perfect, recognizes the diseased ! and sinful conditions 2s false, mes merle states of consciousness; and he applies his understanding of divine Truth and Love as the healing rene dy; which is always safe and can never injure, for divine Truth and l Love can only bless. Surely this in 1 finite Love is adequate, IS intelligent enough, loving enough and powerful 1 enough to supply all our needs; We i have but to know it in order to re- | fleet it.
 i Three Modes of Healing
 Christian Science healing reaches 1, the individual in three fundanental ways First, through reading Of Christian Science or hearing it spok en. This. healing is accomplished ! when the truth of the written O. i spoken word enters a receptive con- sciOusness and brings about a change l in the quality of the thought by col recting some erroneous concept, re l moving fear. destroying some sin establishing an uplifted sense and thus a more harmonious conscious ! ness. This improved consciousness I>
 then externalized in improved bodily conditions, and health and harmony gre expressed.
 know of cases or organic, struc- | nj nd nal disease as well as of sin, which were healed in this manner. many of these during the reading of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health ?! With Key to the Scriptures" written ny Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Any one can learn of such healing; it is occurring constantly throughout the world wherever Christian Science literature is read or the truth O.
 Christian Science is voiced.
 Second, healing is effected through
 the effort of a person to apply the
 Principle and rule of Christian Sci ! ence to his own problem. This is ac-
 complished by the study of the Bible l.and the Christian Science teXtbOOk,
 which is the key to the Bible, and by
 the application of the spiritual teach ings in a scientific way. whether tho
 problem. be q case of sin, disease ol other discord. This healing likewise
 results from the destruction of the erroneous concepts through the in
 creased presence of divine Truth and Love in consciousness, which is then eXteFnaiiZed i'll better health and 2. morals.
 Much healing is being accomplished
 in this manner and anyone can help
 himself by applying the teachings of
 Christian Science accurately and pa-
 tientiy- l emphasize the words ac- curately and patiently because some
 nave been disappointed that they have
 not obtained the desired results i'm
 mediately but if they had bhen as in accurate and impatient in the stud;
 and application of mathematical sci
 ence, for example, as in their at
 tempted use of Christian Science, they
 would have obtained cOrrespondingly
 unsatisfactory mathematical results.
 Christian Science is an exact Science,
 based upon absolute Principle which
 requires perfect application to secure
 perfect results.
 Third healing is effected through
 the effort made by one person to ap-
 ply the truth of Christian Science to
 the problems of another. The possi-
 Jility of one person healing another
 through mental endeavor has often
 been misunderstood and doubted,
 especially in Christian Science heal
 ing where there is no transfer of
 mortal thought. A problem in heal
 ing presented to practitioner for so-
 Iution, and accepted, becomes, for the
 time being, the practitioners problem
 and it is affected by his thought of
 Truth. When one thinks of Truth,
 knows Truth, and reiIects Truth con-
 sciousneSS becomes more spiritual, [ more illuminated with divine light,
 lnd everything included in it and to
 which it is directed is benefited
 thereby.
 Tn Christian Science treatment
 there is no effort at mental manipu-
 lation, for the carnal mortal mind. is not a factor in the healing work. The
 healing mind is the divine Mind and
 tAis being infinite and Ornnipresent,
 the knowing of the truth regarding
 the real man, together with the de-
 nial of the errors of mortal mind,
 brings the truth to bear upon the
 case. no matter whether the person is
 nearby or far away. Jesus healed the Centurion's servant and the noble
 mans son without being present with
 them. thus demonstrating this truth.
 In like manner Christian Scientists
 are healing many patients who are at a distance from them, in obedience
 to their Masters commands. Chris
 tian Science healing results from an
 awakened consciousness produced by
 the Christ-mind, and neither time,
