what q blessing that some paper
In the District il broad-ninded
enough to print that which is
IIppermost IN the minds Of people,
namely religion. It has been my
experience that religious devotion
Ii awakened within the individual
tv means Of some demonstration
that may occur to him or her, We
ali know that spiritualism has been
the dumping ground of fraud, and.
hence "a many err0ne0Is opinions
are expressed against the real
truth Of psychic demonstration.
But we have the whole Bible to
hack IN any statements that we
nav make. we love to believe that
Tegus Of Nazareth came hack and
demonstrated his ability TO COM
nnl,ne with his disciples. that He
ala commune with Moses and Elias
or the mount Of TRANSPORTATION,
and the rest is as easy to believe
a. your sight viii allow You. We.
are all more or less psychic but
undeyeloped. Some are greater
than others, we cannot all be cap
tains. we must have a crew.
In the first place we admit no
such thing as death, simply a
change. We know that life con-
tfnues on from the minute we
leave this earthly temple, as dem
onstrated by them to US. me
good wife and myself have oiten
been the recipients OF WonderIui
demonstration in our home. we
have had voices call us SO Loudly
that the other has heard. We nave
had shoes and other articles sus-
pended in air while botn Oh US
were watching them.
We have seen faces and forms OF
6aar ones we knew were on the
otTey. side of life, and they were
mt halucinations. We do not as
rule endeavor to impress our re-
Iieious views on others. Their
salvation lies in themselves. You
are so often laughed to scorn, ana
II il sacred to US.
There Is so much in spirituailsm.
vat the ordinary individual wonders
whv YOU cannot sit down ana ten
him or her all about it in ten min
ufes or SO. 1t Is as endless as time.
and as deep as the sea. The gooo
snirits both . day and night are
your teachers. 1t Is all contained
in the Holy Bible.
For the information OF your reac-
ers allow me space to correct q
statement contained in an sarucle
written by William English, appear
ing in your issue OF March %
wherein the writer classifies Chris
tan Science as an occult science,
along with spifitualisn, mind read
tor and nafrOlOPV
There is nothing hidden or
mystical in Christian Science.
Christian Science is q religion
founded on the teachings Of Jesus
Christ. 1t is carrying out the In
structions Of the Master, when ne
said: go We into all the world,
preach the gospel and heal the
sick
It is doing this in the same
manner employed by him, that is
through spiritual understanding or
the operation Of divine law, which
is divinely NATURAL and not nysterl-
GUS or unnatural. Mary Baker
Eddy says in the preface to science
and health with key to the scrip
lures, Page XII:
"The physical healing OF Christian
Science results now, as in Jesus
time, from the operation Of divine
principle before which sin AMI
disease lose their reality in human
consciousness and disappear AS
naturally and as necessarily as
darkness gives place to light and
sin to reformation. Now. as then.
these mighty works are not super
natural. but supremely natural"
The many works which Jesus
performed are being repeated today
by Christian Scientists lin so far
as the rules governing this science
are correctly understood and ap-
piled. PHILIP KING,
