that a mortal man, the creature of the

unless there is some rational and APP
preciable way by which ne may re-

his false beliefs. The human mind
tries to endow matter with life, and
there is a constant endeavor to pre-

life in the body. Jesus said, IL am

Science proclaims Christ Jesus as the
Way-shower in a practical manner by
giving heed to his words and works
and by repeating in human experience
many OF the signs and wonders which
he said should follow them who be-

the sick, overcame sin. and raised the
dead, leaving a commandment that his
followers should do likewise, Christian
Scientists are humbly engaged in this
healing ministry. They freely admit
that the highest desirable results have
not yet been attained and that human
discords have not been entirely over

Christian Science Healing
There is very erroneous and un-
Christian belief ignorantly entertained
by many concerning the attitude of
Cchirstian Scientists toward the ex-
periences called sickness and death.
The opinion is often enormously en-
tertained that they are unmindful OF
these distressing human conditions and
that they offer no relief to those who
unfortunately suffer from these be-
liefs. Nothing could be farther from
the truth They freely admit that
these conditions call for the highest
degree of human compassion, and they
are proving their usefulness and COM
potency by supplying humanitarian
compassion in most effectual Chris
tian manner They are healing sick
ness, sorrow, and dire distress in the
most effectual way; in fact, they are
doing it in the only way that holds out
a ray of hope or promise for the final
deliverance from these evils. They
freely admit that many of those who
are engaged in other modes OF healing
are performing noble service and are
to be commended for this service and
for their deeds OF deep devotion in try
ing to relieve human suffering. They
further admit that the field for service
is large one and that there should be
no conflict between those who in true
sincerity engage in the practice of the
healing art Likewise, there should
be due consideration and real Christ
ian charity for all those who entertain
