Evil Suggestion Destroyed.

ne human mlnO, unlnStructeu Dy divine Science, is controlled by its own suggestive fears of sin, dis ease, and death. Thus controlled, the mind is more or less continually looking for these evils. How this human mind is finding trouble, and frequently where no trouble exists, is illustrated in an interesting man. her by the experience of a good lady at picture exhibition where clouds of heavy dust were rolling up from the hoofs of horses and
 cattle in the picture on the screen. This lady. whose coughing had dis turbed many about her, was impelled finally to apologize for the disturb
 ance, explaining to lady sitting next to her that she could not help
 coughing because the dust tickled
 her throat.
 If one will go a little further
 with the illustration it will serve
 to indicate one of the evils of men
 tai suggestion to which all mankind.
 uninstructed by Christian Science,
 are more or less subject, and often with more or less serious results. If, however, one is inclined to feel that this is very small matter, in significant and unworthy of his at tention, his opinion in this regard will change quickly when he recog-
 nizes the fact that every moment of his life is presenting to him some circumstance or thing which is leav-
 ing upon his consciousness mental
 impression or mental suggestion, i later to be reproduced in his active experience. Since tine human mind, uninstructed by Christian Science, is
 so constituted that it anticipates a preponderance of evil in all things, it will be seen at once that the majority of the impressions or sug
 gestions thus coming to this human mind involve a preponderance of
 evil, which later will be reproduced in active experience. On the other
 hand, that person whose thought is fundamentally fortified by Christian
 Science is able to discriminate in-
 telligently between the impressions and suggestions which present them selves, excluding those which later
 produce sin, sickness, and death.
 Such a person. furthermore, through
 the demonstration of Christian Sci
 ence, admits into his consciousness only those ideas of truth and good
 which he desires later to see repro
 duced in his active experience, in facts of health, strength, righteous ness, and peace. :.~-. ... -' Disease Propaganda Destroyed.
 If one was seeking vivid ex- ample of mental suggestion it would not be necessary to go any further than to look upon any so-called cpl demic of disease which from time to time sweeps over this or any
 ether country Much of epidemic disease is nothing more nor less ! than disease propaganda. It is quite
 generally recognized that a close
 study, contemplation. or fear of disease will frequently result in the : nf hn ov,to of
 such disease. This is so we'll rec cgnized among medical students that it is often the subject of jest when a student is reported i'll. Un- der such circumstances students will inquire in testing spirit in regard to the special disease which formed the subject of the days lesson; the theory being that the symptoms of 1 this particular disease have been developed by the student who is ill. If all the reports and bulletins in
 regard to so-called epidemics of dis ease were to be honored, one might feel as though he were surrounded 1 by enemy germs and microbes, each particular germ endowed with the intelligence and cunning necessary to destroy the understanding and
 health of mankind.
 During the course of recent so- called epidemic of disease, I have encountered numerous interesting experiences, some of which have been quite Illuminating. In some of the cities visited schools, churches, theaters, and public gathering places generally were entirely closed. In other cities conditions varied as thought varied. In one very large city the regulations provided that church services might be held if the members of the conversations were
