' CSplCI us true uH puASlC6l SClS0llSlSe They declared that matter was real
 substance, They asserted that every object, whether it be a star. a flower, .
 rock, or the human body, was com posed of atoms brought together and
 held together under varying eondi.
 tions. and that the atom was material.
 Hence, they said that since the start
 ing point of matter was the material
 atom, matter must of necessity be sub
 stance.
 Mrs. Eddy took no pains to defend her statements upon the subject. She had seen the truth about it and, know ing that it was the truth, she was quite content to let the statement of her discovery go into consciousness, well knowing that in the end the truth
 would prevail. It is most interesting. ! therefore, to observe what has taken place since then. Within recent years physical scientist discovered thas the atom is not the startingpoint of matter, and that the atom is itself composed of electrons. When asked to state the nature and character ol the electron, he said that it was en- ergy, which is not material substance. Since then the physicists have come out frankly and fairly and now say that any inquiry concerning the nature and character of the electron should be referred to the metaphysician, and that the whole subject belongs to the domain of metaphysics and not physics
 The far-reaching effect of this is at once apparent, for it frankly admits that the starting point of matter is not material but mental
 Cause and Cure of Disease
 The importance of this cannot be oVerestimated. All sin, disease, and death come from the belief of life, intelligence. sensation, and substance in matter. If it be true, and it now seems to be settled, that there is no life in matter, that it has no sensation | or intelligence, and is not substance, then 1t follows that all material the orles concerning disease, and the method Of solving all human problems, VIII have to be changed from a ma terial to spiritual basis, If matter is itself merely a thing of thought objec, tIied, It follows that disease in what ever form is also merely the objecti- fication of diseased beliefs upon the human body, and that such beliefs originate in the carnal mind, and not Tn the body. but are manifested on the
 body only after they are formulated in the material or carnal mind. If this be true, and it is true beyond all DOS. sible question, it then follows that the correct way to treat disease is not through matter. nor by giving material remedies and drugs to the body. but by destroying the images of disease ou. Of the human mind.
 Every one must see at a glance that disease Is not itself an entity. It has no mind, intelligence, violation. nor presence. Disease is neither self created nor was it created by God. It originates in the first instance in the carnal human mind in the form of dis. eased thought, and is then objectified on the body by the material beliefs or that same carnal mind The true way to cure it, therefore, is to give to the human mind something that will neutralize and destroy the disease pro ouclng qualities and beliefs. The thing that does this is the Christ-truth. which Christian Science brings to the human mind, and in this way Chris. tian Science has healed very many people from all kinds of diseases
 Nc Substance in Matter
 Jesus knew that there was no sub- stance in matter, and he knew it so perfectly that he walked through solid doors and walls. He knew what was true about matter, namely. that it is only the manifested belief of the ma, terlal. carnal mind, and since he did not have that material mind, matter ofd not appear to him as substances. Ills consciousness was spiritualized. lie Knew that the only substance is spirit, but because of the material element in their consciousness the people were unable to see or compre, nend Spirit as substance. They could only think of matter as substance. and therefore to them matter appeared as substance.
 Knowing that there was no sub stance in matter he knew that man was not material. Mrs. Eddy pointed out many years ago in Science and Health tsee pp. 476, AID that Jesus saw the | real man where mortalS saw the nor. tai man. and that his true view healed | the sick. The more one ponders over this statement the more it becomes an parent that it is necessarily true. When | there came to Jesus the man who had | been born blind and who had grown | rom infancy to mature years without l the perfect organs of sight. Jesus healed him instantly. He looked | through the material veil and saw the | real man, who. in every case, is per. feet Jesus knew that God had never created one of his children without sight. God never made an imperfect man. Man being perfect has perfect spiritual sense, and by seeing the per. feet man. Jesus pulled away the mask and allowed the perfect condition to appear, When the paralytic was brought to him, Jesus, by seeing the real man, pulled away the mask ere ated by the material beliefs of the earnal mind. thus allowing the real condition of harmony and perfect be. lng to appear and the man was in, stantly healed. Since the real man Is perfect in every case. when the i'm.
