OF the wonderful works OF God Here
We see how the recognition OF the
Christ eventually brought about the
healing OF the confusion OF tongues
induced by the gross material!sm
Of the time OF Babel.
How grateful We should be today.

I have several times in this lee
ture referred 10 healings brought
about through the application OF
Christian Science 10 human prob
lens. I have given some instances
Of healing through treatment, or
prayer. illustrating, as Mrs. Eddy
puts IL on page 25l Of the textbook,
how the divine Mind makes per-
feet, acts upon the so-called human
mind through truth, leads the hui
man mind 10 relinquish all error. 70
find the divine Mind 10 be the only
Mind, and the healer OF sin, disease,
and death"
Treatment In Christian Science is
not for the purpose OF changing any
thing that is real or Of seeking 10
influence God 10 alter His laws or
verdicts in regard 10 anybody or
anything, but 1t is prayer avail
able for all who are IN pain. distress.
discord, poverty. or sin that they
have their mental eyes opened 10 see
that none OF these things are true.
II is prayer that We all may see
only those things which God sees,
those eternal, indestructible things.
such as health. strength, peace, JOY.
| prosperity, purity, sinlessness, and
eternal life.
All that is or can be true about
you and me is what God knows
about us. How grateful we should
be that He knows nothing but good
about us When God knows any
thing, He knows II not just for a
time but for all eternity. His
thoughts. therefore, are laws, which
never change, but always operate
the same, When your seeming prob
lens are examined in the light Of
these laws, what can they do but
vanish into nothingness?
A friend Of my family had passed
the traditional threescore and ten at
least ten years, when Christian Sci
ence was brought 10 his attention.
He had been suffering from heart
disease for some months and had
grown weaker each day. He told the
daughter with whom he made his
home that II was no use. He could
not hold on any longer He might
just as we'll let so and die.
That day his granddaughter came
home Xith-two-C Christian
Sentinels she had found in a distri-
button rack in beauty shop. She
gave them 10 her grandfather who
found in one OF them an article writ

clan. He had been teacher OF voice
and choir master. SO this appealed
to him.
When he had completed reading
the two periodicals. he called his
daughter 10 him and said: I've
changed my mind. I'm not going TO
die" He had understood enough OF
what he had read 10 see that God
law Is the law OF harmony and not
OF discord. that the belief OF age
and decrepitude is false note so
far as Gods man is concerned. He
had realized that change OF mind.
or OF thinking, was all that needed
TO take place TO relieve him OF the
inharmonies from which he seemed
10 be suffering.
No Limit upon Age
He was restored as Christian Sci
ence has restored many another
sufferer from the delusion that God
has set limit upon mans life. He
added more than ten years 70 his
already long span. Just before leaY-
ing for the reunion OF the Blue and
the Gray at Gettysburg. Pennsyl-
vania, few years ago, he came TO
