Is the human mlnu IN us ndtuIdi Stdts
when filed with hatred, selfshnes:
deceit dishonesty, and other ev
Qualities, and with superstition an
false beliefs. These evil and errone
Gus mental qualities result in sin, dis
else and death, and in all humal
discord.
The command is to get rid II erro
neous mental qualities, and to have il
us the mind which was also in Chris
Jesus" for in this mind there wa
not single sinful quality. nor am
superstition or false religious belief
Thus the human mind is renewed by
the destruction OF erroneous and sin
full mental qualities, and The substitu
ton in their place Of qualities that
inhere in the Mind of the Master.
AS this renewing process goes on,
sickness, suffering, and discordani
conditions begin to disappear, and
wnen it is finished, and every mortal
thought has been brought into sub
lection to Christ, then man will be
transformed from a SHINING, suffer-
ing mortal into state of peace and
harmony. The carnal mind with its
sin and superstition produces the
conditions that lead to death, while to
be spiritually minded, that is to have
the Mind that was in Christ Jesus,
'is life and peace" Christian Sciences
teaches that this is the precise pro-
cess by which human beings are
saved from sickness and sin.
1t will thus be seen that Christian
Science healing in every case is spirit
ual, and results from the operation of
Truth or divine Principle in human
and not from the ac-
ion of one human mind upon anoth-
er, nor from hypnotism, nor from
mental suggestion.
To summarize the matter in a single
sentence, it can be said that Christian
Science healing is accomplished
through the activity of right thinking
Ind right living, and in no other way
an one demonstrate the Principle that
leals.
Jesus healed the sick without drugs,
ind, what is more important to us, he
aught other people how to do so, thus
proving that his method of healing
physical diseases by spiritual means
.ould be taught to others, and under
TODD and practiced by them.
AS the disciples walked up and
Town the country with Jesus listening
o his explanations of spiritual truth,
Ind watching him apply this truth to
human needs as he healed the leper,
he lame, the deaf, the blind, whom
lie met by the wayside, they began to !
understand for the first time that d.
inc love is adequate to meet every /
uman need, and that Jesus come to /
each the way whereby every one !
night learn to prove it.
Moses and the prophets also healed !
he sick and raised the dead and did !
many other wonderful works in dem
of the power of the Spirit
D meet human needs, and the Old
testament is filed with such instan-
es.
II will thus be seen that the knowl-
dye of spiritual truth, and the meth
d of its application to deliver people
rom sickness, sin, and every kind of
vii human condition has reappeared
pom the earth at many times, and it
J claimed for Christian Science that
is the temperance in our own gen.
ration OF the understanding OF the
anne Spiritual law that was known
nd understood in part by Moses and
lie prophets, and which was perfect
: understood and demonstrated by
esus, and by him taught to the dis
Piles. There is no mystery about il,
I'd the results produced by Christian
cience are the results which have
ways followed and must necessarily
llow, from the apprehension and de-
onstration of spiritual truth. Chris s
IN Science is nothing more nor less d
an return to primitive Christiani-
, and every one who turns to it
irly and honestly will find it that
hich will satisfy his spiritual aspira-
ms and meet his human needs.
