emit to Principle only in the degree that
we are obedient to infinite divine Love,
and endeayor to act in accordance with
the Mind that was in Christ
The fact that Christian Science heals
can readily be determined by any sincere
Investigator, and the supporting evidence
reveals it's coincidence with spiritual
healing, thus proving this healing to be
true and possible today, and establish
ing the fact that Christian Science is
Messianic.
MATERIAL EXISTENCE
NOT REAL EXISTENCE.
Christian Science healing, being con-
trary to the teachings of physical science,
the thinker finds that 1t cannot be In
terpreted on a physical basis, that 1t can
be understood only as he gains meta
physical or spiritual viewpoint. TO him
Mrs. Eddy makes 1t entirely clear that
material existence IS not real existence ;
that matter Is not what 1t seems to be,
and that he cannot safely trust the evil
dence of the physical senses. Her writ
ings lead thought into the realm OF the
immaterial and divine, they. show US
that we must look beyond physics into
metaphysics for causation and truth. The
world is now beginning to respond to
this demand. Inquiry into the mental
nature of things is becoming more gen
eral, and the call IS for an Intelligent
Interpretation of experience, or physician
phenomena, and of the nature Of the hui
man consciousness Many of the points
for which Mrs. Eddy contended are to-
day finding confederation as a result of
the advance In physical science and IN
psychology.
Christian Science heals through the OPP
Grafton of divine law the law whose
Principle is infinite Spirit, Life and Love,
and any one who Will apply this law of
God exactly and honestly can heal him
self and others through Christian Science.
Mrs. Eddy's one objective through
many years was to know God, to find the
Infinite source of good, to understand
the true nature of being, that healing
might come to burden-be bearing humanity.
Her single mindedness. untempted by the
world, undismayed by the weakness OF
the flesh undaunted by the enmity OF
evil, held her true to her ideal and
brought her to the longed-for goal, the
demonstrable working understanding of
the Christ-method, with unmistakable
signs following.
Her human consciousness allied to God
by simple goodness, perceived divine
reality, the nature Of spiritual being, and
| this vision OF perfect God and perfect
man made Mrs. Eddy the discoverer of
the hitherto unknown Science underlying
all existence.

SCIENTIFIC RULE.

Aalr a century of practice and proof, the
Iact has been established that Mrs Eddy
Is also the founder Of Christian Science.
The marvel OF these modern times is not
the phenomenal rapidity and variety Of
material development, but the spiritual
appearing TO the transparent thought OF
che pure minded woman, Of the Christ
ilFuth' revealing the universe OF infinite
Mlnu and Its everpresent reflection.
This revelation coming not through
human reason and contradIctinE human
experience and knowledge, is yet so ire

A mixed thought, or one in which the
real and unreal the spiritual and the
material, the divine and the human. are
not accurately differentiated, does not
reflect spiritual truth clearly, for Truth
Is Spirit. and Spirit Is reflected only by
knowing Truth
DISEASES MAY BE DUE
TO MATERIAL CAUSES.
Indeed. Christian Science teaches that
the recognition Of the evil thought or
mental cause which Is back Of a disease
