ERRONEOUS METHODS
DISCLOSED
In The use of material medicine
or serum, no intelligent person viii
agree for a moment that the drug Of
serum has intelligence or wisdom
in itself to so to n certain part OF
the human organization and there do
the exact ttlHg necessary to be done
in order to establish harmony.
Neither win any intelligent person
agree that the drug or serum has
q supernatural or magical power en-
abing il to establish harmony Then
it follows that there must be COM
bination Of faith and mental sugges'
tion that operates to produce what
ever result is supposed to follow the
use Of the drug or serum.
None OF the noble men and women
who have labored unselfshly and pr
tiently for the alienation of human
suffering will consent to the propo-
sition that any comfort they ha
brought to mankind was the resui
of the unworthy belief that the medi-
eine5 used were endowed either
with intelligence or a magiral
power to act.
The comfort and help that have
been brought to mankind through
the lives Of noble men and women
devoted to the relief Of human sui.
fering have been due to their honest
prayers, desires, and unselfish love
for mankind, and not to any stper
stlton or makeshift of matter
II would be considered the height
Of the ridiculous II some person wa
to go to board of education and
tell the members of that board that
he had at great expense and pains,
made q collection of chalk that had
been usGd in erroneous mathemati-
cal calculations. That, from the
chalk so collected, serum had
been prepared with which to inocu'
late fresh pieces of chalk, the theory
lbeing that the use of the chalk tlu
noealated would lesson the liability
IL erroneous mathematical ealeula-
Alons. Some one may Say, Why that
/ is nonsense and is ridiculous! Thai
| Is exactly what it is,-rdiculoua
and nonsensical. Yet is it not some
thing OF this sort that is suggested
for the acceptance of mankind ana
to which mankind are expected TO
submit their bodies with the ils9
Of establishing harmony?
One may object to this and say.
Why. there is no logic in such an ar
gument The chalk is simply piacc
Of inorganic matter; it has no in
telligence or mind as has the humaD
t body. Ali 1t is the mind, then as
sOciated with the material body
which must be taken into consider
alton and treated In this event
where in mind will one inject q
serum or introduce drugf
SCIENCE PROCEDURE
Since it is the human mind that
is to be treated, then it must BE-
the human mind that is sick
1t is obvious that that which is
sick cannot be its own healer, else
1t would not be sick.
1t follows, then, that the diyina
or immortal Mind is The only medi-
cine and healer that can be used
legitimately to cure the sick mortal
mind.
Through this action of the divine
Mind the mortal mind is disabnsad
OF the belief that it has sick bodY.
This procedure is scientific and
true, and if followed understandinglg
and consistently will reconstruct and
heal the sick and the shining.
The Christian Scientist, when
handling disease, has no fear of the
germ enemy despite the testmonF
of the physical senses, and despite
the conclusions advanced by human
reason based upon the testimony o.
the physical senses. He knows some
thing at least, Of what the omnipres-
ence Of God means. He knows that II
means the omnipresence Of divine
Mind. Wherever he goes this pres
ence or omnipresence is with hi
regardless Of what the physical
senses may testify as to the as
sumed presence and power oi
