human mind. Therefore, the kingdom OF
God is brought nigh unto US in Chris
tian Science Jesus healed all manner
through the activity of the Christ mind
lie paid no attention to physical symp-
toms or conditions, but confined his at
tention entirely to the mental state Of the
one who was in need Of healing. To the
man sick Of the palsy, he said Son, be OF
good cheer. Thy sins be forgiven thee,
recognizing that this mans disability was
due to an evil mental state, and that
when the sin was forgiven, or destroyed
he would be well, And 80 he was.
To-day, Christian Science, the Christ
science, disregarding matter and it's sup
posed laws, heals sickness and sin
through the power Of this same Christ
mind. The work of healing reformation
and regeneration, which Christian Science
is accomplishing, results from Truth s
appearing and errors disappearing. 1t is
natural and beautiful 1t Is spOntane-
Gus and harmonious, like the appearance
of light dispelling darkness Real Chris
tian healing does not, therefore. involve
fight or struggle. In order to demon
strate the reality and power of good. and
the consequent unrealty and powerless-
ness OF evil, it Is not necessary to men.

truly said that the more struggle there
Is In a prayer, or treatment, the less real
Science there is in it.
Because the practice Of Christian Sci
ence is identical with primitive Christian
healing, 1t is not like mesmerism, hyp-
notism. mental suggestion. or any form
Of so-called 'drugless healing Christian
Scientists do not depend in healing upon
the use of human will power. nor upon
any kind of mental manipulation. There
Is no effort on the part of the Christian
Science practitioner to control his pa
tent mentally. On the contrary, his
effort Is to convince the patient that there
Is in reality but one controlling influence
or power-that of divine Mind. Jesus
said, 4 can of mine own self do moth
ing. The Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the works. Christian Science
claims no other healing power but this
eternal Christ mind, which healed sick
ness and sin in the early Christian era
to heal so long as there is need Of heal
ing.

an the Christian Science textbook
there Is a chapter OF one hundred pages,
called 'Fruitage' This chapter consists
Of letters written by those who have been
healed Of chronic and acute diseases. and
Of various kinds Of sin and vice. by the
reading and study Of Science and Health.
Countless others are continually testify
tnG that they have been healed by the
study or the Bible In the light or Chris
tian Science. Others tell Of being healed
by the spoken word at Christian Science
church services and at the authorized lee
lures on Christian Science. The healing
has come to them from nothing less than
Christ, Truth. Spiritual enlightenment
has revealed to them the divine facts Of
being These eternal facts. displacing
temporal f0lsities. have transformed their
thinking. and what is known as normal
state Of health has resulted But just in
proportion as they have become spirit
ual'y enlightened they have discerned the
fact that real health is not bodily, but
mental It is spiritual Wilderness or per
lection. Mrs. Eddy writes on page 10
Of Science and Health, as follows:
Health is not q condition of matter, but
CT Mind nor can the material senses bear
reliable testimony on the subject Of
health
MRS. EDDY'S DISCOVERY
OF CHRISTIAN HEALING.
After Mrs Eddy discovered this
Science OF Christian healing she demon
strated its truth In many wonderful in
stances OF healing through spiritual
power alone She then wrote and pub
iished the great textbook Of Christian
Science, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures. and other books on the
same subject. She later established the
system Of spiritual teaching and healing
which is rapidly extending into all parts
OF the world. She founded The Mother
