tian Science. they will lose their fear
and dread Of disease, and win deal with
the germ theory as purely human in
vention
Unless we intelligently reject the
mental suggestion of disease and germs,
what is likely to take place? Sooner or
later, the mental image of disease will
be externalized or Swallowed forth on the
body. The only way. then, to protect
the body is TO be ever on guard to dis
miss from consciousness the thought of
disease and sin the moment 1t is de-
tected. If we are vigilant in dealing
with disease and germs as thought, we
shall be saved the experience of a So
called diseased body.
SAYS GERM THEORY
ON DOWNGRADE.
THE modern germ theory of disease
is already well on its way to a state of
innocuous desTetude, If reports from
medical journals are to be credited.
While experimenting upon subjects
even millions. of different disease germs
have been taken into the human system
without producing the slightest effect /;
and at the onset of various disease, no
germs whatsoever have been In evidence,
all OF which goes 30 prove the fallacy
of the theory. Some leading physicians
of the country do not hesitate to de-
nounce 1t in forceful terms.
when We learn that Gods thoughts,
or ideas, are omnipresent and insepara-
bic from their divine source; that they
alone are really endowed with power
and elligence-thoughts of sin and
disease vanish into nothingness. cor
rect or scientific understanding of God
heals because it cannot help healing.
Healing through Christ, Truth, takes
place as naturally as the shining of the
sun Every ray of spiritual light that
floods nnn -
presence, power, and glory of God and
His Christ. How, then, can it avoid
dlspelling the dark shadows of finite
sense? Truth heals because it has ma
AFFINITY with error Love heals because
1t has no affinity with hate; Mind heals
because it has no affinity with matter.
treatment in Christian Science means
doing something for the sick according
TO an understood Principle, instead of ex-
perlmenting upon them with poisonous
drugs, and then waiting for days, weeks
ana sometimes for months, to see whether
they get well. Christian Science treat
ment gives sight to the blind and hear
ing to the deaf, by doing something for
them which no other form of treatment
ever has done or ever can do. When il
gives a sufferer immediate possession Of
health and strength after Inateria med
lea has pronounced it's verdict of hone
lessness, 1t does something for him which
physical sense does not and cannot ex-
plain.
SCIENCE
PROVES ITSELF
When all manner of diseases are
healed in a few Christian Science treat
mentS, and fear and sin are destroyed
does this not prove that intelligent ac-
ton has been taken in behalf of the af-
nlcted: When the anxious and fearful
mother asks help for her innocent babe,

slant relief by breaking the mesmeric
environment of ignorance, fear. and anxi
ety-who would presume to declare that
nothing has been done for the helpless
infanti If Christian Science treatment
makes a speciality of any one thing. it
Is in doing something for suffering HUI
manity, instead of thrusting God aside in
the hour of trouble by bowling down to
the verdict of the deceitful senses
When these senses pass judgment
upon man, declaring that he is sick, even
gong SO far as to pronounce the verdict
OF death upon him, is it the exercise of
good common sense to sit idly by and
accept the testimony of five witnesses
who healeth all thy diseases p Or shall
we rise In righteous rebellion against
such testimony, knowing that the power
and presence of God and His Christ are
more TO man than anything else IN the
worldf 1t is the physical senses, re-
member, that advise and would compel
the use OF material remedies; that call
SIN and disease real, and man a mixture
Of mind and matter; and that demand
complete medical supervision and control
OF the human body. Is the hand of the
Lord shortened that it can not save
God never inspired faith in the use Of
poisonous drugs. 1t goes without saying
then, that Christian Science treatment Is
not founded upon the belief of inteui-
gent matter.
Let particular attention be called to
the fact that Christian Science treatment
IS not the erroneous influence of any
form OF mesmerism or hypnotism. The
experience of a young man seeking help
from professional hypnotist will make
his point clear His very first visit re-
suited in seeming relief from extreme
pain. but the relief was of short dura
ton. Again, he sought the same source
for help and with like results. He
soon found himself making several calls

apparent ease from pain grew shorter
until finally, after spending several hours
a day with his would be helper, and eI-
perienctng no relief at all. he discontin-
