carnai mind There Is not n single
known disease or sin b a cannot be
healed In Christian Science
As an essential In Christian develop
mcnt and progress. as a proof OF avak-
ening from n material to n spiritual
sense. the importance OF physical heal
ing cannot be oyerestimatei- Regard
less Of rae or creed n must cxpcr-
fence and understand the Christ-heal-
ing before one is really started on the
road 10 heaven. As Jesus plainly
stated. IF i with the finger OF God
cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom
Of God is come upon you Luke

without making known his healing
presence His coming in Christian
Science is not f~iEurative. not q mere
theory to b accepted or rejected At

an active vitaiizing prelude TO all true

This Science Is pre-eminentiy u c
cessful in dealing with so-calied con
tagious diseases. where the whole
mental and physical manifestation is
one of extreme fear. No Christian
| Scientist attaches Importance to the
microscopic germ theory OF disease.
On the contrary. all Of his time IS
occupied in magnifying HI things
that make for health and happiness.
Since God never made n discase germ.
blind human belief must father f.:
but belief never gave real power nor
life to anything nor to anybody. Then.
why flee from n iifeiess germ as ono
chased by .'the sound OF a shaken
leaf Qev. 2s-36)7 The so-calied dis.
ease germ hat Is supposed to travel
from city to city. and from CONT
nent Z continent Is nothing more nor
less han a disease thought germ.
and when Christian people grasp this
fact in tho light Of Christian Science,
they viii lose their fear and dread
Of disease and will deal with the germ
theory as purely human invention.
Running from n newly discovered
germ because OF the fear of some
h~igh-sounding name hat has been
given to IL. is like fleeing from ones
own shadow. II the thought or men

The modern germ theory of disease
Is already well on It's way to n state

failacy of the theory. Some ;eading

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 wait
ing 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 treat
ment ever has lone or even can do.
When it gives a sufferer immediate
possession OF health and strength.

Its verdict of hopelcssnes, II does
