Fear Caase Of Woe.
whatever viii destroy fear be-
comes the benefactor Of Humanity,
becau6e fear II the cause Of most
OF the wretchedness and woe, sick

world. Every human being IL sub
let 70 the continual and aggressive
arguments Of fear. Many people
live In constant fear Of death, and
millions aso dying every year be-
cause they believe that suffering,
diee1sA, And death are inevitable.
The desire to live 10 mate and nat
ural. but constant fear and the con-
temptation Of disease and death
bring disastrous experiences. The
socalled laws Of the human mind
are based upon fear and limitation,
because Of the ignorance of what
constitutes real law, and as a result
man limits himself in every direc-
ton. This state Of thought results
In encouragement and weakness.
It enfee6les mans ability to ac-
complfsh the good that he desires to
accomplish. In other words, It is
the claim Of evil that God is limit
ed in bis opportunity to express
good to man. When it is understood
that all thought is expressed after
its own kind or quality, men will be
more wAtchful Of their thought pro-
ceases. Mrs. Eddy has given the
remedy for the correction Of all err
roneous thinking in Science and
Health with Key to the Scripture"
when she says, stand porter at
the door Of thought Admitting only
such conclusions as you Wish to see
realised In bodily results, you will
control yourself hafmoniously."
(Science and Health, p. 1922 God
gave man dominion over the whole
earth, and this certainly means do
minion over fear, and oveo his own
body.
One Of the most pernicious beliefs
which beset humanity is the fear Of
inherited disease or Of the inherited
tendency or inclination to certain
diseases. The law OF heredity was
completely annulled when Jesus
healed the man blind from his
birth. II man is the image and like
ness Of God, he cannot inherit dis
cord or any evil. and there is no law
Of hefedity to bind him. God Is in
finite good and sends no punish
ment and no curse upon his crea-
ton. That portion Of Scripture
which refers to visiting the sins Of
the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation is
sometimes understood os a contra
diction Of this, but when the Sec
ono commandment is read in its en-
tirety it is found to be a warning
Of the penalty which follows hatred
Of God. Il carries with It rich
promise for those who are loving
and obedient.
The success of the Christian Sci
ence movement does not depend
upon the great number of its ad-
/, herents. but wholly upon its works,
the healing Of all manner of disease
and discord which 1t is accomplish
ing with such marked success. This
is the justification of its existence
an9 the assurance of its great fu-
ture on earth.
For centuries mankind has been
trying to solve the problem Of heal
ing. So far in the history Of mortal
man, there is nothing known In So
called science, philosophy, or medi-
cine that equals the scientific heal
ing OF Jesus. No other system
claims to be an exact science; the
Christ method of healing is an ex.
act science, and does heal.
DisoAse Work Of Devil.
Jesus announced that he came to
destroy the. works Of the devil and
to do his fathers will. His pro-
fesssd followers cannot question
that he came to do that which was
lawful and right. In the destruction
Of all evil he proved that disease as
well - sin is not in accord with the
law Of God. but Is the work Of the
devil or one evil. He devoted his
whole life to proving the available
ity Of God for man under every cir.
cumstance. He used no material
means, he ascribed no credit 10 him
self, but alweys gave God the glory
II Jesus healed in accordance with
the will of God, IL must have been in
accordance with the law of God
and this law is as effective today
a. when Jesus was upon earth. Sal.

all eternity. Jesus did not limit
the healing to his day alone, wher
he instructed his followers to 60 Out
into the world to preach the gospe

Added to this was his admonitior
to those who believe on him to d.
