Christian Science, as discovered
and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, is
today SO generally recognized as an
instrument for good, that we are in
terested to know what this Science
teaches regarding the unrest, evil and
suffering so prevalent in human ex-
perience and to hear what solution
it has to offer for them. We are
interested in the cause of this grie-
vous condition and to learn if pos
sible Of an adequate remedy Tor it,
as well as,to find what part each one
of US plays in the situation, to what
degree wsf are responsible for it, and
to what extent we can aid alleviat-
ing and ilealihg ~
At the outset it should be recogniz-
ed that the world is an aggregation
of individuals, hence its prevailing
conditions afe but sthe composite pro-
duct Of the*lives and mentalities OF
it's people, and of their habits OF
thought, their ethics, their ambitions
and their resultant conduct.
Thus the character of human
living is an essential factor in the
worlds condition and it follows that
this can be improved only as the
lives of its people are improved. 1t
in this phase of the question to
which we shall give especial atten-
ton 10Y analyzlns the Science OF
right living, together with the Prin-
ciple and law involved, in order to
see how these may be demonstrated
in human activities.
St. Paul writes: 'For the law OF
the Spirit Of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin
and death" ....
The Bible contains many clear and
definite statements of the healing
law of the gospel in its relation to
every form of evil thinking and
wrong living.
Have you ever thought what this
world would be with all its sip, sor-
row, suffering and sickness remov-
ed? And have you ever realized that
an understanding of the teachings OF
Christ Jesus with strict adherence
thereto, would bring about this heav-
enly condition? This should be evi-
dent to all Bible students.
When looking, therefore, for So
luton of the worlds problems, need
one look further than to demon
strated understanding of the teach
ings of the Master? Did he not set a
standard of right living upon a spir-
itual basis which he declared he made
it possible for all to follow? And in
connection Herewith did he not heal
all manner iof evil and disease
through divine power and did he not
teach his followers to do the same
thing? Is it snot evident then that
Christian living involves not merely
right ethicalSor moral conditipns,
but right physical and mental con
ditions as wq1f;; health, harmony and
wholesomenessi in everv direction?

Since, therefore, Christian heal
ing is such al integral element of our
Masters Christianity and lis thus es-
sentiaTt to the demonstration of Chris
tian living ii all its wholesomeness,
it is important to understand it. The
Bible says that spiritual things must
be spiritually discerned, and since
Christian healing is accomplished
,, spiritually, no other means being u.s.
ed, it is evident that it can be ex-
planned, understood and demonstrat-
ed only spiritually, that is, from a
spiritual basis. Physical science and
