is said, Let this mind be in you.
 which was also in Christ Jesus;" and
 in Romans 1922, Be ye transformed 2 by renewing of your mind"
 These significant statements from the Scriptures leave no room for doubt
 as to the cause of sin, disease, and death, or their cure. The carnaI mind is nothing more nor less than the un-
 regenerated human mind It is the human mind in its natural state, when filled with hatred, selfishness, deceit, dishonesty, and other evi1 Qual- | ities, and with superstition and false I beliefs These evil and erroneous mental qualities result in sin, disease. and death. and in all human discord. F The command is to get rid of erroI.- eous mental qualities, and-to have in l us the Mind which was also in Christ | Jesus" for in this Mind there was not single sinful quality, nor any superstition or false religious belief Thus the human mind is renewed by the destructiOn of erroneous and sin ! ful mental qualities. and the substi- ! tuition in their place of qualities that iHhere in the Mind of the Master. As this renewing process goes on, sickness, suffering, and discordant conditions begin to disappear, and when il is finished, and every mortal ! thought has been brought into subjee- I ton to Christ, then man will be trans | formed from shining. suffering mor- | tai into a state Of peace and harmony
 The carnal mind with it's sin and sup serstiticn 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 Science teaches ! that this is the precise process by { which human beings are saved from
 sickness and sin
 It will thus be seen that Christian Science healing in every case is spirit ual, and results from the operation of Truth or divine Principle inr human consciousness, and not from the ae- ton of one human mind upon another, nor from human will, nor from hypno- Ism, nor from mental suggestion. To summarize the matter in single sentence. it can be said that Christian Science healing is accomplished through the activity of right thinkIns and right living, and in no other way can enc demonstrate the Principle that heals.
 Honest Skepticism
 Although the healing of physical and mental disease by spiritual means was widely practiced, both in Old Testament and New Testament times, Jesus, and although Christian Science during the last fifty years has actually healed in this way large numbers of people from all kinds of physical and rmeHtal diseases, there are still a great many people who honestly find it difficult to understand how it is pos sible for the sick to be healed without drugs, and entirely b. spiritual means Even amorg those who profess to be- HeTe in the Bible and in the omnipo- tence of God, there are many who have honest doubts that the power of God is sufficient or available to deliver from sickness, and these doubts often prevent the effort to gain an under standing of the way by which spirit ual healing is accomplished
 To all such it can be said that Jesus healed the sick without drugs, and. what is more important to Hs, he taught other people how to do so, thus proving that his method of heal ing physical disease by spiritual means could be taught to others. and understood and practiced by them
 As the disciples walked up and down the country with Jesus, listening to his explanations of spiritual truth. and watching him apply this truth to human needs as he healed the leper, tae lame, the deaf, the blind. whom he met by the wayside, they began to understand for the first time that di- vine Love Is adequate to meet every human need, and that Jesus has come So teach the way whereby every one might learn how to prove it
 Some of the disciples seemed to grasp this truth and the manner of it's demOnstratiOn very slowly, but to them all there finally came a time when Jesus considered that they had made sufficient progress to prove it for themselves. He then sent them forth with the command that they heal the sick, cleanse the lepers- and raise Ihe dead. and the Bible records that they were able eo do SO
 Later these same disciples taught the Principal of spiritual healing which they had learned from Jesus to l theiE own disciples. and history shows that on down through period of about ten generations the healing of l the sick by spiritual means continued ! 70 be part of the regular ministry of | the Christian church. and that the dead were raised during the first and second centuries Moses and the prophets also healed the sick and raised the dead and did manysother l wonderful works in demonstration of l the power Of Spirit to meet human needs. and the Old Testament is filled 1 with such instances.
 It will thus be seen that the knowI- | edge Of spiritual truth, and the meth l cd or its application to deliver people ] rom sickness. sin. and every kind O. | evil human condition has reappeared | upon the earth at many times. and II | is claimed for Christian Science that | T.
