sin is not in accord with the law o
Cod, but is the work Of the devil o
one evil. He used no material mean
he ascribed no credit to himself, bu
always gave God the glory. Jesus did
not limit the healing TO his day alon'
when he instructed his followers Il
go out into the world to preach tbs
gospel to every nation and to hea
the sick Added 10 this was his ad
monition to those who believe on him
to do greater works than he had
done, not greater in quality, but in
quantity.
Christian Science is not faith
cure. The healing is not accomplished
through the mere concentration of
thought, holding thought for another
nor through the exercise Of the hui
man will; that is, by willing the sick
to recover. The entire teaching and
practice of Christian Science rests
upon the basic fact that God is all.
The power Of a Christian Science
treatment lies in the fact that it is
the realization Of the omnipotence of
God, Of the power of truth over all
error in accordance with the divine
will or law.
The objection is sometimes made
By those who do-not understand the
method Of Christian Science healing
that nothing is being done for the
sick who have turned to it for aid.
Is one relying upon nothing, when
one turns to the supreme source and
cause Of all things, the power which
created the universe and man? Be
cause God is the only creator He is
abundantly able to care for His own
creation and to keep His divine law
in operation. There are today great
numbers of people on earth who, in
time past, in hopeless bondage 10 fear
misery, and disease, were compelled
to turn to God for help because all
else had failed them Ask these peo-
pie if they were doing nothing when
they turned to Christian Science for
healing. They will tell you that after
everything else had failed, they
learned that the only thing to do is
to rely upon God.
No right thinking Christian Scien- I!
fist claims that he has attained per-
fectinn today. He does not claim that
the full scope OF healing has yet DE- Il .
but he IS striving cc'I- s
stantly for more of the mind which .
was in Christ Jesus ard IS therefore
a better man and a moro dessrabis cit

more seriously of his vote C!las it may
be cast on the side Of civic righteous
ness; he is in sympatly with every
effort to bring about better :ondi-

generation of mankind.
