MRS. EDDY AN
INTERPRETER OF SCRIPTURE.
Mrs. Eddy has written in her book,
science and Health, the explanation of
the truths in the Bible so clearly and
SIMPLY that, as one reads understand
ngly, ne can express the fruit of that
understanding in healing himself and
others. Let us then consider the answer
TO the question, Just how does Chris
tian Science heal?" We may find our
answer in the first chapter of Genesis,
which speaks of the seed that Is in it
seIf. That is 10 say, the healing power
is in the Truth itself. at is like leaven,
which woman took and hid in three
measure OF meal till the whole was
=, How, then, shall we approach the Truth
whose seed is in ITSELF and lay hold Of
It's heallng power? Spiritual Truth can
not be gained intellectually. There is no
such thing as intellectual goodness nor
intellectual honesty. Really to under
stand the spiritual qualities Of goodness
ana honesty they must be lived, and
from the heart, not the head. That
truth whose seed is in itself must be
approached, therefore, only through the
really understand we can express in our
lives. AS we read Science aud Health
and begin to assimilate its meaning, even
to a degree, we are bound to express
the nature of Its truths in purity, health,
and loving kindness. The last chapter
in Science and Health contains one
hundred pages of testimonials by those
who have been healed of organic and
functional diseases simply by reading
this book, and conforming their lives
to its teachings. The fact that people
have been healed of cancers, tumors, con-
sumption, the drug habit, and so on,
simply. by reading a book and gaining
| its spiritual import should be a most
convincing proof that it is not the human
will nor the carna1 mind which does the
| healing; but to be spiritually minded
means in and of itself life and health and
peace.
SUFFERING BELONGS
To THE CARNAL MIND.
A suffering sense is plainly the product
of the carnel mind; for to be carnally
minded is sin, disease and death. When,
! therefore, st. Paulewas looking from the
viewpoint Of the carnal mind, and every
thing was colored by it's gloom, he e&-
claimed, The good that / would, I do
not: but the evil which I would not, that
1 do" Some centuries earlier, when Job
was once looking out from the same
viewpoint, he used almost the same
words: when l looked for good, then
evil came unto me; and when / waited
for light, there came darkness" That
mental udrknesS when Cnlnks OF Goa as
| afar off, is none other than the product
of the carnal mind. AS Job emerged from
that mental gloom into the light oil
| spiritual vision, he exclaimed, yet in
my flesh shall I see God" and again
For 1 know that my Redeemer Hveth rs
When finally st. Paul gained his victory
over the carnal mind, he declared, The
! law Of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from the law Of sin
and DEATH" and free to do the will OF
! infinite Good. Thus Paul recognized the
supremacy Of good over evil. Then he
could truthfuny say, THE good that
would that l do; and the evil which
would not. that do not"
That phase Of the carnal mind which
would cause one to do evil, when his
real purpose 10 to do good, is defined by
our dictionaries as animal magnetism.
