and physical science. Mrs. Eddy dis covered that all is Mind God that All Is infinite Mind and it's infinite manifestation, for God is All-in all'' she said in Science and Health, page 46S. Her researches led her to dis tinGuish between the divine Mind, it's qualities and ideas. and the phenomena of matter and evil. which she termed mortal mind, or-to use St. Pauls term -carnal mind. She saw that the two were apostles. One only can be true Evil, matter, carnal mind, human mind, are mortal beliefs, misconceptions wholly foreign to the nature of God, and they disappear in the ratio that i we understand God. Mrs. Eddy saw also | that thes eXactness, order, continuity, [ and law of Gods universe was the ! only real Science, which she named i Divine Science or Christian Science. 1 Vixen she grasped the mighty fact so | fruitful with blessings to the whole | human race,-that God is the only | Mind and Cause.-her mission was to pierce with spiritual vision the dark 1 clouds of matter, mortality and fear, to disperse these clouds with the re flected light of spiritual understanding and to reinstate in human conscious ness the Science of the one omnipotent Mind.
 How can it be known that there is but one Mind? Since God is the di- vine creator, the source of all intel ligence and wisdom He knows all things and nothing can be thought or conceived outside the range of His ali inclusive intelligence. The conclusion
 is logical, therefore that there is and
 can be only one Mind, God. Mankind,
 for centuries, have believed in the ex-
 istence of many minds, but the Bible
 and Christian Science make clear the
 0mniscient oneness of the divine Mind,
 and the impossibility of many minds.
 Man has no mind of his own separate
 from his Maker. He reflects the Mind
 of his creator. When this great fact
 is grasped by the individual he be-
 gins to express the holiness. healthful- ness, purity, and wisdom of the divine Mind and to be healed of the sorrow
 and pain which come from believing
 in many ruling minds or from believ- ing that power can exist separate from God.
 Her Search For the Principle of Mind
 Healing
 1 Mrs. Eddy was well fitted for her ! great work of making clear to the
 world the allmight of the one Nina | Of Puritan ancestry she was reared in l the atmosphere of a Christian home i From childhood she had been deeply 1 religious. As her thought went forth 1 in longing desire to know God she in 1 evitahly came in contact, and later | into collision, with human systems | which purported 10 interpret God or
 sought to usurp His power as the healer of our diseases. Her first strug- gles were evidently with scholastic
 thelogy a theology which she had | sounded to it's depths and had found | inadequate to supply the great human | need, for the reason that it attempted
 to explain God from a corporeal stand | point and was, therefore, bereft of
 healing power. In harmony with the Scriptural injunction, Prove all
 things; hold fast that which is good
 she had investigated the systems of
 medicine, the seeming action of drugs the allopathic and homeopathic meth =
 ods of treatment, as well as spiritual
 ism, hypnOtism, and various other
 mental theories. She found that al : lacked the divine junction of Spirit and , failed to bring healing or mental en- , lightenment. Finally she turned unre- } servedly to the word of God, the Bible ' through study and prayer the light oi } spiritual understanding dawned upor 7 her enlightened vision like rays ot , morning sunshine upon an awakened : world. Speaking of this remarkable experience. Mrs. Eddy wrote in Scienc, . and Health, page 109: For three year. after my discovery, l sought the solu ? tion of this problem of Mind -healing s searched the Scriptures and read littl, 9 else, kept aloof from society and de voted time and energies to discoverinj - q positive rule.

 7 Her Labor to Make Christian Scienc s Understood
 h But Mrs. Eddy was not content { f abide alone upon the mountain top c s spiritual eXaltaton. Her love for he 2 fellowmen was tender, deep. universa o She saw that it was her duty to de T scend from that mountain top into tn t valley of human thought, and to labo 0 and work till this divine Science ( Q God and man was reduced to the levt If of human understanding, so that ever = man could see and apply the resep e erating power of the Science of Chris Y tianity. For this exalted ideal sd 'f labored and loved for almost half 1: century. She not only presented Chris n tlan Science to the world in a forl Y that could be understood and demor h strated but, in addition, she so pro - tected the cause of Christian Scient y against the aggressions of evil tn; II never again would the healing pow, II of the Christ be lost to the world F,
