desire for physical healing. The heal
ing method of Christian Science, the
healing method used by Jesus, is
unique, but there is no mystery, moth
ing supernatural about it. II is the
simple teaching Of Jesus, the spon-
taneous and natural result of better
thinking The physical healing in
Christian Science is not for the pur-
pose of making a man more comfort
able in materially, of enabling him to
eat more food without discomfort, or
to indulge more freely in appetltles
and passions without evil effects, but
the whole purpose of healing is to re-
veal the truth about life. 1t heals
the sick to establish the fact OF the
reality of God or good, and 1t meals
the sinner TO prove the unreallty or
sin or evil. Christian Science does
not teach that sickness and evil do
not seem real to the human conscious
ness: but it does teach that the human
consciousness is false consciousness
expressing itself according to its false
beliefs in all the phenomena Of evil
ana sickness. and that healing through
a correction or overcoming is accom-
plished through the understanding OF
God and his Law.
Throughout human history man has
deihed himself, he has created God IN
the image and likeness of a mortal IN
stead of finding that he himself Is the
image and likeness of God. Because
God has been believed to be a mighty
man manifesting jealousy, anger. re-
venge, visiting his wrath upon his
people; the belief that might is right
has grown to the utmost. AS the re
suit, human history is record OF
the cruelty of the human Will, 1t is
because Of the edification of the NOR
tai or material mind and its beliefs,
that the statement is sometimes ig-
norantly made that the healing OF
Christian Science is wrought through
suggestion--one mind controlling an
other human mind. In order to cor
rect this accusation made against
Jesus healing works, he said, II l
by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom

Matt. l2:27) showing that evil can
not correct evil. The human mind,
unillumined, and uninstructed in
spiritual law, cannot possibly under
stand spiritual healing, or the means
by which it is accomplished; so it in
slsts that ii must be after its own
method, the operation of the human
will through hypnotism or what is
popularity called modern psychology.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth,
The teacher of mathematics does
not subject his pupil to state of hyp-
nOsiS in order TO teach the science of
numbers, but reveals to him the prin-
clple OF mathematics, the truth ABOUT
numbers. If each step in the solution
of a problem were mentally imposed
upon the more yielding thought of the
child, he would not be trained to
think for himself; on the contrary, he
would be schooled in the habit OF re-
spending to suggestion from without.
The pupil, to be alert and progress
sive, must be taught TO think correct
~, he must be free from the personal
domination and control of the teach
er, IN like manner, the Christian Sci
ence practitioner knows that the hu-
man will must be divorced from every
Christian Science treatment: indeed
the human will cannot give a Chris
tian Science treatment. The practl-
toner's part in the healing work is to
reveal to the patient the science, or
truth Of being, and this truth at work
in the consciousness of the sufferer
heals and saves. EVIL, Il fundamental
quality of the human mind, believing
us it does in both good and evil can
not heal. I is wholly through the ac-
ton and operation of spiritual law
that the sick are healed. Christian
Science treatment creates a desire to
know and TO do the will of God. Mes
merle suggestion and hypnotism
weaken the subjects ability 10 do
what is right. His subsection to an
other mentality is in itself an evil.
The reading of the Christian Science
textbook Science and Health With
Key to the Scriptures" has cured
thousands of sickness and sin; one
hundred pages of the book contain
testimonials of healing through the
reading alone. No mesmeric sugges-
ton was used by the book to accom-
plish such results, no human domina-
ton or control was exercised, but the
revelation of truth contained in those
pages opened the understanding, and
heating followed as Il natural conse-
qucnce.
MANKIND'S GREATEST ENEMY.
Fear is the arch-enemy of human
ity, and many are those who are liv-
ing under it's constant pressure and
know not how to escape from it's
bondage Throughout all time man
has bowed to fear as to a false god,
and is confronted by its suggestions in
all the activities of human existence.
Fear attends his advent into the
world, and throughout his life he is
educated to be afraid; afraid of the
food he eats, the air he breathes, and
of the wind that blows: he is afraid of
his brother man, afraid CT his own
body, and afraid of God. Little Won
der that he is sick and in trouble.
Christian Science reveals that Gods
universe including man was created
without fear, therefore fear is with
out hope and without God, and any
thing without God has no real exist
ence, God being the only Creator The
healing in Christian Science is not
confined to physical healing alone,
but may be applied throughout the
whole range of human experience. 1t
is indeed so intensely practical that
it can be used in the routine of every
day life. Since God Is the only Cause
or Creator, all real law emanates
from him. and there is no peace or
safety in living in dsobedience to his
Law.
One of the greatest torments that
heset mankind is the fear of lack. The
law of Infinite Mind includes no pro-
vision for poverty and lack. Christian
Science teaches that the amplitude of
God is the sufficient supply of man
enabling him to be fed and clothed
and is the real substance which isl
changeless and imperishahle. Jesus,
the man of God knew nd lack norl
He turned water into wine
