Healing Is Mental

The way in which the healing
takes place is mental, or to
speak more accurately, spiritual.
1t is well known that the prac-
tice of this Science Is not asso-
ciated with material remedies or
material systems of any kind.It
is also well to state that Christ
ian Science has nothing in COM
mon with thought telegraphy or
mental suggestion or hypnotism,
and in no respect resembles any
other method usually called men
tai. 1t is Christian. with none
of the aspects whatsoever of pa
ganism or magic. Every thought
that accurately explains Christ
ian Science, every thought that
is employed in the true practice
of this Science is of divine ori-
gin. The whole trend of this
Science is to glorify God, good,
and to enable mankind to lay
hold upon the divine power and
utilize it to meet the human
need.

irs. Eddy First Practitioner

Mary Baker Eddy discovered
this Science. She was the first
practitioner of this Science. The
people who were benefited by
her ministrations did not immed-
lately understand her teachings
For years she had to stand "a
lone, and she had to present and
prove to mankind the value of
original and revolutionary ideas
concerning God, man, the uni
verse, and the healing Christ.
Gradually those who were healed
and helped became adherents to
her doctrine and many of them
entered upon the practice of
healing the sick by the method
which she had discovered and
which at first she alone taught.
In the textbook of Christian
Science, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures, by
Mary Baker Eddy (p. u, the
author writes: Regardless of
what another may say or think
on this subject. | speak from
experience. Prayer, watching
and working, combined with self
immolation, are Gods gracious
means for accomplishing what
ever has been successfully done
for the Discrimination and
health of mankind"

A PEDESTRIAN on a Jersey
"A City side street late at
night several years ago saw wisps
of smoke curling around the front
door Of a big factory. The in
terror was a mass Of flames.
Turning in an alarm. he warned
neighborhood families. Firemen
arrived. broke down the door and
poured water into the building.
They noticed that at one place,
where there was a pile of papers.
the fire burned most furiously.
But the flames burned holly
everywhere
Gasoline" said Captain of De-
tectives Richards, head of the
arson squad.
AS soon as chemicals had extin-
guished the blaze. Captain Rich
ards began his investigation. He
stumbled through the choking
smoke TO what appeared to be
the center of the fire. His flash
light showed an iron safe with its
door open.
And in front of the safe, hidden
until then by a desk, lay the al
most lifeless body of a man. He
had been terribly burned; his face
was unrecognizable. and only
charred fragments OF clothing re-
manned.
Thus began one of the Strangest
cases in New Jersey police an
nails.
The first suggestion that came
to Captain Richards mind was
that there had been an attempted
burglary and that the man had
been injured by an explosion in
tended to blow open the safe.
THIS was negated by the fact
Il that the safe bore TO evil
dence of having been forced. The
contents. however. formed the
heap of debris that had been most
badly burned.
There were account books. check
stubs, Cancelled checks. bills. re-
ceipts and other bookkeeping data.
A few documents remained in
the safe and on the edge of the
bottom shelf. These, like those
on the floor, smelled strongly of
gasoline.
In examining the man, while
sending for an ambulance. Cap
tain Richards found that the
flames had been so hot that they
had burned the sides of his shoes.
His head lay near by, also almost
consumed.
Particles of glass lay on the
floor and were scattered over some
OF the furniture. This provided
puzzle until Captain Richards
found the stub of match still
clutched in the mans right hand
"ArSon!" Captain Richards said.
HE was setting a gasoline fire
and his match exploded the bot
tie containing it.
but WHO was lne man ana what
had been his motive? There had
been no original intention of
burning the entire structure: the
firebug had not spread inflam-
mable material.
The effort appeared TO have
been merely to destroy the pa
pers taken from the safe.

He had been a trusted employee
