is taking place wherever Christian
Science Is studied and faithfully ap-

have medical attention unfit late In
1919, all the physicians who dag.

she had tuberculosis In its advanced

Science and Health. explaining brief

Christian Science. For few days
the book remained unopened. She
had little faith that anything could
cure her. The lady asked her hus-
band If he believed the book would
help her. He said he knew nothing
about II, but that Christ Jesus had
healed without drugs many years
ago. She began to read and ponder
this little book. Her strength re.

disease was to be found.
In bringing this healing to your
attention would emphasize thu
point that a disease regarded as Q
most serious malady was complete
ly healed through the change o.
thought brought about in the pa

of Science and Health. This fac
naturally leads the inquirer to ask
What was the nature of the change
What does this textbook Of Christian
Science teach that so powerfully al

men? In the short time we are tt

GOD is MIND.
Christian Science teaches that Got

Christian Science is that man is no

how can this be? Have you eve
stopped to consider where your goo'
thoughts come from, you right de
sires, and high ideals? You do no
originate them yourself. You ac
cept them as the correct expression
of being. but their origin is create
than yourself. Christian Science
shows us that this source of all goo
thoughts is the one Mind, name'
God. Since God is Mind He is a
