OPPOSITION TO SPIRITUAL FACTS

Figuratively speaking, the Christ
False human nature opposes it at ev-
cry tep. This nature is naturally I'M
y oppressive and intolerant- There is
nothing more distasteful to the evil
one than spiritual facts; since facts are
ideas which Away reveal the truth

The only opponent of spiritual truth
is the mortal or fieshly mind. the So

Christian Science is here to bring
about this change of heart, and the
active and widespread. Thousands who
at one time were bitterly opposed to
Christian Science, have, in their eX-
tremity, gone to it for help. have re-

among its most arddent advocates. Is
this not tangible proof of the impoten-

the human order of things; and the

disease never has healed and never will
heal anyone; but that a positive or
