Christian Science Healing
The world today is deeply inter-
| ested in the subject of healing. Suf-
fering humanity is looking in every
direction for surcease from pain.
Usually as a last resort it turns to
Christian Science, and through the
open door of compassionate Love 1t
finds its way into that haven of rest
and peace which is above mortal ken.
| The beneficent influence of Chris
| tian Science is far-reaching. 1t
blesses him who gives and him who
| takes" It is no respeeter of persons
or ailments 1t appeals to all classes
Of people, bidding them awaken from
| the day dream of life in matter.
| Those who listen to its message OF "on
earth peace, good will toward men, "
experience moral and physical heal
ing.
1t is very plain to the student OF
Christian Science that the direct ef.
fects of wrong thinking upon the body,
such as the indulgence OF malice,
anger, hatred and revenge, cannot be
healed either by drug or knife. The
root of the trouble is not visible IN
any physical manifestation, but lies
| hidden in the dark recesses of mortal
consciousness. In this consciousness
| must we grapple with every mortal
belief, theory, opinion and suggestion,
and silence its self-assumed right to
existence, before real healing can be
accomplished. Only through mental
surgery, in other words, do We make
practical use of the ounce of proven
| ton. Dragging the poor innocent
body to correct the effects Of sinful
| thought is little else than trying to
erase shadow on the wall without
| interfering with that which Is respon.
sible for the shadow.
| Christian Science deals directly with
| the moral fault in the treatment OF dis
ease. II one is receptive to the true
idea of God, ready and willing to be
shown how to change his habits OF
thought, this idea will quickly sup
plant a multitude of erroneous theo-
ries and opinions and often bring I'M
mediate relief from suffering. When
| anxious human thought is thus re-
moved from the body one catches
practical glimpse Of what is meant
/ by being absent from the body ana
| present with the Lord"
| The greatest reform movement on
earth today is Christian Science neal
| ing. because it means the coming OF
Christ to human consciousness. One
who honestly approaches Christian
Science, even as a remedy for some
so-called physical ailment, will meet
with the greatest surprise OF his life
Selfishly thinking that he would be
satisfied with bodily healing he is
| amazed to find himself face to face
with infinite blessings Immediately
available. With the exuberanee oil
newly kfndled Joy he Is won't to ex.
claim: 1T is too good to be true
But he very soon realizes that he Is
