GRAFTON of the human will through
hypnotism or what is popularity called
modern psychology. Nothing could be
4 farther from the truth.
The teacher of mathematics does not
subject his pupil to state of hypnosis
/ in order to teach the science of num-
bers, but reveals to him the principle
Of mathematics. the truth about mum
bers. If each step in the solution of
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
/ schcoled in the habit of responding
/ to suggestion from without. The pu-
pill, to be alert and progressive, must
be taught to think correctly, he must
be free from the personal domination
and control of the teacher. In like
manner, the Christian Science practi-
/ toner knows that the human will must
be divorced from every Christian Sci
ence treatment; indeed the human will
cannot give Christian Science treat
ment. The practitioners part in the
healing work is to reveal to the pa
tient the science, or truth of being,
and this truth at work in the con-
seriousness Of the sufferer heals and
saves. Evil, fundamental quality of
the human mind, believing as it does
in both good and evil, cannot heal. 1t
is wholly through the action and OPP
Grafton Of spiritual law that the sick
are healed. Christian Science treat
ment creates desire to know and to
do the will Of God. 1t is regenerating
in its influence. Mesmeric suggestion
and hypnotism weaken the subject s
ability to do what is right. His sub
4 lection to another mentality is in
itself an evil. The reading of the
4 Christian Science textbook, Science
/ and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" has cured thousands of sick
ness and sin; one hundred pages of
the book contain testimonials of heal
| ing through the reading alone. No
mesmeric suggestion was used by the
book to accomplish such results, no
human domination or control was ex-
ercised, but the revelation of truth
! contained in those pages opened the
/ understanding, and healing followed
as natural consequence.
Mankind's Greatest Enemy.
Fear is the arch-enemy Of humanity,
and many are those who are living
under its constant pressure and know
not how to escape from its bondage.
Throughout all time man has bowed
down 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 of his own body, and
afraid of God. Little wonder that he
is sick and in trouble. Christian Sci
ence reveals that Gods universe in
GLIDING man was created without fear,
therefore fear is without hope and
without God, and anything without
4 God has no real existence, God being
| the only Creator. The healing in
Christian Science is not confined to
| physical healing alone, but may be
4 applied throughout the whole range OF
human experience. 1t is indeed so in
tensely practical that it can be used
in the routine Of everyday 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 dis
/ obedience to his, law.
One Of the greatest torments that
4 beset 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 men en-
abling him to be fed and clothed and
is the true substance which is change
less and imperishable. Jesus, the man
Of God, knew no lack nor limitation.
He turned water into wine when there
seemed to be a lack at the marriage
feast, he multiplied the loaves and the
fishes when the multitudes believed
there was no bread, he found gold in
the fsh's mouth when the disciples
/ Throughout his whole career he con-
stantly supplied the needs Of humanity,
proving that God is God Of abund-
ance.
Prayer.
Prayer is supposed to have place
in the daily life Of every consistent
Christian. and is generally believed to
4 be the means by which man communi-
Gates with God; Jesus attached so
much Importance to the right concept
of prayer that he gave that greatest of
all prayers, beginning, sour Father,
which art in Heaven" Nowhere did
Jesus, teaching as he did that he was
not God, instruct his followers to pray
to him; neither did he instruct them
to appeal to any other personality, but
! without intercession, to approach God
with loving confidence. How many
good Christians have absolute conf
dence that prayer is always answered ?
The crying need of the world is to
know how. to pray Alright, to pray the
righteous prayer which availeth much.
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" contains chapter on
prayer which is accepted by Christian
Scientists and acknowledged by many
other advanced thinkers to be the
greatest treatise on prayer ever writ
ten. In this chapter Mrs. Eddy says,
"desire is prayer" then she clearly
sets forth what the right desire and
