no evil thing a success. e.
The fear of criticism and of failure
are only two of the many phases OF
fear from which Christian Science is
healing mankind. W.. .4.a
In like manner Christian Science
enables one to overcome other kinds
of wrong thinking. such as envy, hat
red, revenge, greed, and ayarice, thru
understanding that these evil thoughts
do not emanate from Truth, the int
mite, divine Mind; hence they are with
out real cause or existence.

AS has been previously indicated,
all sickness does not, even from the
Christian Science viewpoint, result
from willful sin or from conscious
fear. Disease is frequently the effect
of generally accepted beliefs of the
human mind which have mistakenly
come to be regarded as laws. Among
these will be found the so-called laws
that appear to control the effect Of
food. climate, contagion, and heredity
,Christian Science shows that these
asserted laws which claim to hold
mortals in bondage and cause them
to sfcken and die are not real laws
IT teaches that these mortal laws
may be rendered void and imperative.

From the Christian Science point of
view the supposed causes of disease
and the diseases themselves exist, >Or
seem to exist, merely in the realm Of
human blief. They are, so to speak,
relatively true, but absolutely false,
In absolute Truth, in the realm of
divine reality, there is no sickness and
no cause for sickness. But through
overcoming those beliefs which in
human experience seem to ultimate in
sickness and death, Christian Science
is gradually leading it's students away
from belief in and fear Of death. 'sFOr," !"
as Paul wrote In his epistle to the
Romans, TO be carnaliy. minded is
death; hut to be spiritually minded, is
life and peace. What is meant by
being carnally minded. but to- be

which are carnal- matter and evil2
And that. Paul says, is death. But
to be Spiritually minded'-to under
stand the reality OF that. which is
spiritual and good Is, life This abid-
ing sense Of Life is spiritual and comes
to us through right thinking. Jesus
said. ''this is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true God
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast
sent" To know or to be. conscious Of
God through rejecting those ideas that
are good and true. is to live, and there
is no other real life. Mrs. Eddy under
stood this when she wrote (Aliscellan-
eous Writings, p 1851:
Thou to whose power our hope we give,
Free us from human strife.
Fed by, Thy love divine we live,
For Love alone is Life.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PRACTICE
NOT MESMERrSM
Some who are not entirely familiar
with; the teachings of Christian Science
believe that its practice consists in the
effort of one person to benefit another
person by exerting the influence which
one human mentality Is supposed to
have over another, The fact Is that
Christian Science regards the so-called
human or mortal mind as the cause
of all discord, including disease, ami
regards the immortal or divine Mind,
as the only efkectua1 healer Of mortal
discoefl. There is no recorded utter
ance sof Jesus to indicate that he be-
lfeved his power to heal the sick and
reform the sinner depended upon. the
exercise OF human will. He prayed and
taught his followers to pray, mot my
will. but thine, be done" and Jesus
said /: II can Of mine own, self do moth
ing. The Father that dwelleth in me.
he doeth the works. So Christian
) Science emphasizes again and again
the fact that there is no permanent
tleliyerence from human Ills save
thrOugh the Transforming power Of d.
vine Love- The action Of divine Mind
does not depend upon the exercise Of
the human will, but subjugates and
controls it. The truth which Jesus
said shall make free, often does and
always should touch and TRANSFORM the
consciousness of the sufferer % gently
