resulting IN moral and physical
healing. BY way Of illustration:
Suppose that a Christian Scientist
reads In the morning papers that
some dreaded disease is about TO
make It's appearance in his COM
munity; that it has already claim
ed It's thousands Of victims, and
that materia medica is unable to
cope with 1t. What does ~ do!
He Immediately reyerses sense tes-
timony by striving to realize that
the one Mind, God. is ever-present
and all-powerful, and governs the
entire uniyerse IN perpetual peace
and harmony; Consequently, that
there are no evil minds to believe
in disease nor to fear it: that there
Is no evil power to mesmerize any
one into believing what is untrue.
He knows that divine love is SUI
preme; that 1t casts out all fear.
He persists in abiding in this Sc
cret place Of the omnipotence and
Omni-presence Of good: and what
is the result? He remains fearless
and strong: he escapes the devas-
tating scourge himself. and he
helps many others to recognize the
nothingness Of fear and hypnotic
suggestion. This is Emmanuel,
God with u.s. or demonstration.
Does Christian Science Heal!
Does Christian Science heal the
sick? is question that is answer
cd today in a most practical way.
In all parts OF the civilized world
may be found living witnesses to
the healing power of Christian
Science. These recipients Of Gods
blessings will tell you that they
owe a debt Of endless gratitude,
not only to the one God and to His
Son, Christ Jesus, but to the be-
loved discoverer and founder of
Christian Science, who, in the year
1856, discovered the science OF
Christianity and labored unremit-
tently and unselfishly to make it
available to the whole world.
This science is prominently
successful in dealing with so-called
contagious diseases, where the
whole mental and physical mani
festation Is one Of extreme fear.
Christian Science Treatment
Treatment in Christian Science
means doing something for the
sick according to an understood
principle, instead OF experimenting
upon them with poisonous drugs
and then waiting for days, weeks
and sometimes for months, to see
whether they get well. Christian
Science treatment gives sight to
the blind and hearing to the deaf
by doing something for them which
no other form Of treatment ever
has done or ever can do. When II
gives q sufferer immediate posses
sion OF health and strength, after
materia medica has pronounced its
verdict of hopelossness. it does
something for him which physical
sense does not and cannot explain
when all manner Of diseases
are healed in one Christian Science
treatment, and fear and sin are de-
stroyed, does this not prove that
intelligent action has been taken In
behalf Of the afflicted? When thu
anxious and fearful mother asks
/. help for her innocent babe, who
the doctors say, cannot possibly
survive, and Christian Science
gives instant relief by breaking the
lmesmeric environment OF ignor
ance, fear and anxiety-who woul(
. presume to declare that nothing
has been done for the helpless in
4 FAINT? If Christian Science treat
ment makes a speciality Of eny ont
thing, it is in doing something fol
suffering humanity, instead o
thrusting God aside in the hour o
trouble by bowling down to the yer
dict of the deceitful senses.
Treatment Not Suggestion.

that Christian Science treatment i

The only healing power is divin
