 r. his epistie to the Romans, St.
 Paul writes; "Tne good that I would do not; but the evil which l would net that do. Now if 1 do that
 would not it is no more I that do it; but sin that dUeileth in me" Note
 the distinction, if You please which
 St Paul males between the man and
 the sin. h conformity with this statement of the great Apostle, Chris
 tan Sci nee teaches that the evil is
 not the man and the man is never
 the evil, that evil is always apart from man and exists only in the de-
 gree that il is believed to be real by
 the deceived human sense. Thus it seems t0 dwell in us. When this Sep 2raticn can he made, when il can he seen that God, divine Love, is not the author of sin, disease and death, and therefore that they are It. part Of man. our healing whether of sin or disease, inevitably begins. It should bc 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. Reing scientific it demands accurate intelligent, metaphysical dis ceInment and analysis and a correct application of it's divine Principle, which must be done mentally. But above all it requires a clear conscious , ness of the allness of God, Spirit, and His ideas and the nOthingness of His opposite, evil, matter and their be- liefs, which constitute the carnai mind.
 This illumined consciousness, this healing consciousness. which may be acquired in d degree by anyone today, l divine Love alone makes possible, for divine Love reflected through right knowing and right living, 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 for dis couragement or criticism. They re-
 joice that Jesus works prove Chris tian Science to be true. and they are grateful that Mrs. Eddy discovered the Science of Christian healing and gave it to the world for all to demon Strate in the degree that they under stand it.
 Love for Mrs. Eddy
 The love and gratitude which Chris
 tian 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, supplied 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 incur able disease, hopeless sorrow, the
 bondage of degrading sin and who also healed them of agnosticism anG atheism by revealing to them the, na- turalness, simplicity and truth of the
 Bible teachings and the possibility of their fulfillment.. . The whole world is indotted 10 her for her scientific and spiritual inter pretation of the Bible, especially the words and works of the Master, and for her demonstration of the truth
 of his teaching In the face of the so-caAed higher criticism. the doubt respecting the correctness of much
 Scripture teaching and the denial of the possibility of obeying Christ Jesus
 commands. Mrs. Eddy's proof than the Bible is true stands out as the greatest, most significant achieve
 ment of this age, for thereby the truth of Christianity and the rightness of it's basis is scientifically established. This has never been done before.
 Mrs. Eddy early learned that the Bible is the word of God, the spir- ituaT teacher of the ages. She turned to it for light and leading when hu-. man ways and means failed to give health and hope. and she was healed
 In it's inspired pages she found Chris
