Insanity Healed

Christian Science cngenders the
real humility which acknowledges
one perfect first cause and effect
and deals with difficult human sit
uationS from this immutable basis.
A Christian Science practitioner
was called to help a young girl
who had been insane for about two
years. At first, violence and ilccs-
SAINT incOherent chattering were III
evidence. The young girl seemed
gripped by fear and mental anguish.
Gradually these distressing condi-
tions subsidized, and there were more
frequent periorS of restful sleep
AT the end of a few weeks. the girl
returned home, perfectly healed by
the power of divine Mind. Her
healing came about through the
steadfast realization that God di-
vine Mind, is the only real Mind
and that man is the etelnally in
telligent idea OF the one divine
Mind. The intelligence of man in
Gods likeness is inyariable.

Christ and Jesus

Jesus reasoned spiritually from
premise to conclusion. Hence his
denunciation of evin and his af-
firmation of the all-might of God
divine Principle. He varied his man
ner of teaching according to the
mental attitude CT receptivity or
resistance which faced him in his
work among men. The basis OF
his teaching and ministry was al
ways the same-the reality of good
the unreality Of evil. His was the
power of Christ, Truth, which
knows no error Christian Science
likewise stands for this one and
only Christ, pure Christianity, con-
sistently logical, wholly rcdemp-
tive.

destroy sin is not a personal ability

Mary Baker Eddy
Mrs. Eddy beheld the consistency
of the teachings of Christ Jesus
She grasped the basis of his un-
deviating loyalty to God upon which
rested his healing ability. With the
utmost courage and unSelfiShneSs
she devoted the last forty-five years
of her life to calculating the Science
of being in behalf Of all humanity
She brought to human conscious
ness the spiritual facts of righteous
ness and health and how to prove
them in human experience. In 1875
she established the Christian Sci
ence church. In the year 1881 she
obtained a charter for her Meta

over four thousand students.

In the human recognition of the

of permanent peace among the ma
tiOnS
War, the evidence of unbridled
ambition, territorial greed, merci-
less motives and methods. is un-
leashed. War is hate let loose; it OBJ
tainS first in the thoughts of men
and then breaks out vlsibly. War be-
tween nations is aggression let loose
Oh an unprecedented scale, and
this aggression cannot be met pass
iEely. The motive behind the strug-
gle is what counts, and every in
telliGent thinker realizes that in the
long run the victory Cf right is
certain. There is in reality no ma
terial creation in which the so-call-
ed carnal mind can work havoc.
There is only the spiritual creation
in which order reignS. War is the
evidence of the material senses.
The spiritual facts Of being are
intact.
Men are deceived into believing
wrong to be right and right
to be wrong; hence the develop
ment of hardness and elf-juStifi-
cation. The remedy for hate and
war is spiritual enlightment, love
of truth so absolute that it reSists
the deception of hate and fear, re-
sediment and revenge, mad ambi-
ton and rivalry. In divinely logical
thinking from premise to conclu-
sion lies the way of peace for all
the world.
The Unreality of Hate
A Christian Science practitioner
told me Of the healing less than
tWenty-four hours of what is medi-
Cally regarded as an incurable dis
case in the case of che who for
years had borne a grudge against
a near relative and for years had
refused to see him She was heal
ed Of the disease overnight when
she gave UP hate and learned
that Cne can be restored to health
in Christian Science only by un-
derstanding and expressing divine
Love, in which there IS no hate
therefore no enmity, no eS.range-
ment
In behalf of all humanity we
should deny the assumption Of hate
and its wrecking consequences, and
affirm the fact of Love divine and
universal. This is not a dream; evil
is the dream. Spiritual awakening is
heaven on earth. True witnessing
silences false witnessing. Large
scale true witnessing is what is
needed today and this need Chris
tian Science is supplying.

TO lessen the merits Of Washington in
the public estimation and thus himself
aspire to the command Of the army.
"The interview between the generals
has been but imperfectly narrated by
the chroniclers of the events of the
heroic age. We have our relation from
the venerable James Craik, who, as phy-
sician-general to the staff, was always in
the suite Of the commander in chief in

general why the advanced guard Of the
Army was in retreat before the enemy,
having made little or no resistance, Lee
replied in language explanatory, but de-
corus and ofhcerlike. The chief then
said: Will you, sir, command on this
ground?' To which Lee replied: Your
excellencys orders shall be obeyed and
I will be among the last to leave the
feld.'
But the poetry Of this memorable in
terview was in the chivalric ardor OF
Alexander Hamilton. He sprung from
his horse, and leaving the animal to
itself, drew his sword and, addressing
the chief, said: General we are be-
trayed. and the moment has arrived

There were many other able preachers

Nearest Mount Vernon.
1t is quite probable that Of the three
Virginia churches referred to toward
the beginning of this story, Pohick
Church was visited more by Gen. Wash
ington than were either Christ Church
or Falls Church, since Pohick Church
was closer to Mount Vernon, and, though
the old adage, Distance lends enchant-
met to the view,," might have been recog-
nized then as true, yet, the roads being
horrible most everywhere in Washing
tons day, mileage was a big factor and
people did not 60 out Of their way un-
necessarily. OF course there were times
when the church nearest to Mount Yer

assuredly, Washington attended divine
service elsewhere.
The present Pohick Church, or Mount
Vernon Church, as it was called at an
early period. stands today about midway
between Gunston Hall and Mount Ver-
non on the Richmond highway. and
here the first President was also vestry-
man, as was George Mason, Of the Bill
of Rights fame. An early account OF
this church, which was erected In 1773
was written by Bishop Meade, who says
"The old Pohick Church was q frame

side of Pohick Run and about 2 miles
from the present one, which is on the
north side of the run. When it was nc
