THOUGHT PROCESSES.

THOUGHT PROCESSES.
If God is the all-enabling power,
and God is Mind, +he operation of
this power must primarily be by
way of ideas, thoughts. Who can
straighten out his finger or bend It
without thought debating the ac-
ton? Who can bend it when
thought dictates to hold it straight?
Try it. Will the hand not do kind
things under the impulsion of loving
thoughts; will it not do cruel things
under the impulsion of contrary be-
liefs? Will it not do brave, power
full, steady. skillful, efficient things
under the direction of confident, in
telligent guidance, and trembling,
weak, inefficient things under the
impulsion of fear? All have ex-
perienced this. Is it not a common
saying that one is paralyzed with
fear? Do not people die of fear.
Does any part of the body not
reached by thought do anything or
feel any way? If it does, how do
you know it without thought?
The schools are beginning to rec
ognize, and in some degree to &C
knowledge, that in Christian Science
a light has come into the world,
but they are not able to see that
it is all light, and that in it is no
darkness at all. Theology is be-
ginning to teach an incorporeal God.
but not one who is the Spirit that
Is all Love. too pure to behold in
lquity, evil of any kind, to cause it
or to permit it. The healing arts
are beginning to teach that mind
Is at least in part cause, but without
recognizing that Mind is God, good.
so never the cause of disease and
death, but always the cause of
restoration, of health, and of life.
They call that mind which is but
false education, illusion, suggestion,
the ultimate cause of sin. sickness
death. But the human beliefs that
still obscure cannot forever hide the
true light which shines, and shines
unto perfect day when all shall
be illumined by it, and there shall
be no darkness, ignorance. Elusive
suggestion, disease, fear. and so no
sin, no disease. no death.
GODS THOUGHTS.
And the angel of his [God'sl
presence saved them" we read in
Isaiah. We are also told that after
Jesus had withstood being tempted
by the devil, and all should now be
able to see that the devil was just
what Jesus called him,-"a murder
err" that which is destructive, and
"a liar" that in which there is no
truth,-angels came and ministered
unto him. What does this mean?
Does it mean that corporeal beings
with wings healed the people spoken
Of in the Bible, and ministered unto
Jesus?
In the Christian Science text
book. Science and Health with Kew
TO the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy,
on page 5S1, we read: angels.
Gods thoughts passing TO man; spir-
itual intuitions, pure and perfect:
the inspiration of goodness, purity,
and immortality, counteracting all
evil, sensuality, and mortality"
Cannot all see how such angels
could and did indeed heal the chill
dren of Israel, how they could and
did minister unto Jesus; how they
can heal you and me and everyone,
and minister to US all? Have not
all of you entertained just such
angels, time and time again, una
wares? Have not pure, spiritual
intuitions, inspirations of goodness,
come to you and to all, and have
they not been helpful to you?
Where did they come from; from
your brain, or from anyone's brain?
They came from Mind, the only true
Mind, God, 10 inspire, to enlighten
you, to bear you up, and to set you
up on high. Have we all been in
spired then? Of course we have.
Have we always needed these in
SEPARATIONS? That is the question.
1t is not uncommon to hear that
some one is inspired by malice or
hate Everyone is ready to credit
this but let some one be said to be
inspired by God, who is infinite pow
