derstood and demonstrated the iullness
Of the Christ, that understanding OF
God and Of mans inseparable sonship
with God. Anyone may have the Christ
to the degree that he has spiritual un-
derstanding. Through his perception Of
the Science Of the Christ, Jesus did
more for humanity in the three short
years of his ministry than anyone else
has ever done.
Let us follow him on one Of his heal
ing journeys He used TO walk with
his disciples, going from one town to
another, preaching and demonstrating
the Christ On one occasion, they were
approaching the gate Of the city of Main
when they were met by a funeral pro-
cession. The Bible tells us Quke 7;l2-
15) they we're carrying out dead man,
the only son of a widow, and adds,
"And much people Of the city was with
her" What an opportunity for Jesus
to convincingly present the healing
Truth, the Christ to all those peoplel
Let me interrupt for a moment to
ask What is the truth, the Christ
truth of that situation, which he said
we are to know, and which would raise
the dead Is it not this-that right
there was the presence Of eternal Life,
God? And that man lives, moves,
breathes, and has his being, his exist
ence unchangngly in that Life' The
Master turned to that widow compass
sionately, and said, weep not" He
knew she had no occasion to weep, even
if she and the multitude thought other
wise. Then he turned to the son and
said, young man, ! say unto thee,
Arise" and he "sat up, and began to
speak" That was the application of the
Christ; that was the knowing of the
truth that makes free. 1t was not a
person, Jesus, who healed 1t was the
Christ, the truth which Jesus knew. And
the Bible says that all those people
glorified God.
The Christ Raises the Dead Today
Jesus gave us a promise Think OF
this, too, as a promise made to You in
diyidually He said, "Nerily verify,
say unto you, He that believeth OF
me THAT is, he that believeth tn,
Christ, the Truth, the works that d,
shall he do also" That is a promise
/ No promise of the Master ever failed.
Let me tell you Of a modern fulfill
ment OF that promise Some years ago

right back to Truth again. "The Spirit
of truth'-the truth that makes free,
and which only requires knowing or
conviction to be operative in your ex-
perience. For three hundred years after
that promise was made Christian heal
ing flourished. 1t was common to raise
the dead. Then followed centuries Of
religious darkness. The promised Com
forter was only awaiting the conscious
ness sufficiently clear, spiritually, to
discern its present and purpose. Mary
Baker Eddy, a gentle woman, who from
childhood had been accustomed to talk
ing with God in prayer, did discern
that promised Comforter, through in
spiration and revelation, and appropri-
ately named her discovery Christian
Science, because it is the Science Of
the healing Christ.

He has just been brought into our hos
pital. We've examined him. He's dead"
At that moment in that home we're two
earnest Christian Scientists who be-
lieved the truth, who had a conviction
of the Christ They repudiated the pic
ture presented as a counterfeit belief
Of the carnal mind. They held to the
spiritual facts of the presence of eternal
Life, and man living eternally and un-
changeably in that presence, in that
eternal Life. One OF them called a
Christian Science practitioner and asked
that the consciousness Of the eternality
Of that boys life be upheld. Think of
that. She didn't ask that he be raised
from the dead, no She asked that the
consciousness of the eternality Of that
boys life be upheld. That's knowing
the truth. That is the prayer Of spiritu-
al understanding A little while later
that day, the hospital authorities dis
covered that boy breathing again. There
was no explanation they could offer
Prayer in Christian Science was con-
tinued, and three days later that boy
regained consciousness. Now, 1 say to
you just what want to read to you
from the Acts of the Apostles in the
Bible. Paul said this to King Agrippa,
and / say it to you: "Why should il be
thought thing incredible with you, that
God should raise the dead% 1t should
not When Jesus said aye shall know
the truth" he said it would make you
free, and he put no limitations whatever
upon what it would free you from. It
frees you from whatever is unlike God
The other evening a man said to me
after hearing that experience. "But
where is that boy today" It seemed tc
me that I sensed a little skepticism in
his voice and thought 1t was really
thrilling to joyously answer, "He's ir
active service in the United State.
Navy"
Jesus Promises the Comforter,

shall give you another Comforter,

sav. "When l came in here tonight, l
came in with a useless and helpless
right arm and hand. just wanted you
10 see and feel what the power OF God
did for me during this hour" He raised
his hand and arm over his head and
he said: do you see that? l can't
remember when I've been able to do
that"
Spiritual Reeeptivity Essential
That healing exemplifies so naturally
what the Word of God can do if you
open your consciousness to receive it.
You know, you can't get anything into
closed hands. That, OF course, anyone
realizes, and yet how utterly simple 1t
is to fill those same hands when they
are opened wide. To achieve healing
through Christian Science you must be
like a little child. You remember what
the Master said-that unless you be-
come as a little child you cannot enter
the kingdom of God. You ask how can
YOU become as a little child? By being
receptive. humble, teachable, responsive,
adjustable believing. That is really
expressing spiritual receptivity, and
spiritual receptvity is prayer. You are
praving now as you take that attitude
Spiritual receptivity is the first Of five
different kinds of prayer l want to tell
YOU about. I know you will pray the
PRAYER of spiritual receptivity consist
entity during this hour.
The Bible Truths
For centuries men have turned natur-
ally to the Bible for spiritual light
The Bibles pages are filled with vita
spiritual treasures of truth. There are
countless instances of the power Of God
made manifest through the truths thai
men have drawn from its pages. Hot
can have a Bible, however, and have II
do YOU no good. You have to dig the
treasures out The truths are there
They are priceless, vital, healing.
The other day a Christian Science
practitioner told me that she was calle'
to a home where an individual wa
seeking Christian Science help for th'
first time. She said to the woman
there "Have you a Bible?" The woman
replied "Why. yes, we have a Bibl
somewhere here. We keep it tied up.
WE'LL it's the first time [ ever hear'
of tying up a Biblel There are SOM
things it probably would be a good plai
Montana labor news., 1945-10-25

The lecturer spoke substantially as
follows:
# IS good to be here, and it is a JOY
20 share with you a few priceless
so;r;,ral truths. They are found IN the
R;ble They are the simple truths about
God and man. They become healing
tr,,,bs when YOU know them, when you
reallv have a conviction Of them. Ke-
member the promise of our Way-shower'
Christ Jesus, who said, "He shall kno"
tbe truth. and the truth shall make you
free" Now. the prayer of Christian
Science is prayer based on spiritual
understanding of God with which you
can know the truth. 1t is not prayer
based on belief or blind faith. You
cannot know the truth with belief or
blind faith, but you can with spiritual
understanding.
Expect Healing During Lecture
II is natural for you who come here
in need of healing to find it during this
bour whether it is relief from fear
Illustration, loss, hate, depression lack
sin. or disease. How can you be healed
By your simple act OF accepting anC
knowing the Bible truths about God anc
man. You can also be healed by earn
estly reading and studying the lecture
Let me tell you OF healing that toob
place during lecture a short time ago
AT the close OF one lecture, man cam'
IN TO me and put out his hand. / gave
him mine and he really took it. / haven
had a handshake like that since l wal
in college, and you remember how w
used to do it there. He looked me righ
in the eye. He had twinkle in hi
eve. He said, 81 did that purposely.
Well. it didn't make any sense to mt
at that point. But then he went on t'
Montana labor news., 1945-10-25

TO tie up. 1t made me think OF the
little girl who told a visiting minister,
81 know everything that's in the Bible"
You know, that's a pretty big order for
a little girl-to know everything that's
in the Bible. And so, lovingly, he said
to her, 81 wish you'd tell me. I'd like
to know" And without a moments
hesitation she started right in. She
said. There is Grandma's picture, two
pressed leaves, that old letter OF
Daddys, and recipe for gingerbread.
OF course, her Bible might just as well
have been tied up.
Let us seriously look into the Bible
and not just between its pages. Let us
see what it teaches about God. 1t tells
us that God is divine reality, the only
reality there is. That God is infinite
divine presence, the limitless power Of
good, the ever-present divine intelli-
gence or Mind, divine Love, the eternal
Life of man, ever-present Spirit, Soul,
the spiritual consciousness OF man. 1t
tells us. in the words of Paul, that we
live. move, and have our existence in
God in this eternal, unchanging spirit
ual consciousness. 1t tells us that God
alone created man-in Gods likeness
and endowed man with dominion over
all.
Christian Science Practicalizes 9
Bible Truths
For centuries these great truths about
reality. about God and man, have been
recorded, but generally have not been
accepted or eifectually used. Less than
eighty years ago, a Christlike New Eng
land woman, searching the Bibles
pages for Truth, caught the practical
aspect Of God, and of prayer to God
which healed her and has since healed
multitude of others. That woman

Correcting Beliefs Of the
Carnal Mind

When the first chapter Of Genesis
finished telling about man, it used this
statement, "And God saw every thing
that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good" "All right" someone says,
where do these things that aren't good
come from3" I like the way Paul ex-
planned it when he referred to them as
beliefs of "the carnal mind" Now, how
simple it is, when anything presents
itself to you which is not Godlike, to
repudiate and cast it out, not for what
it claims to be, but for what it is-a
counterfeit belief of the carnal mind
] And Paul said, "The carnal mind is
enmity against God"
Oh, by the way, did you ever see a
counterfeit three-dollar bill? No, Of
course not. The reason you never did
is because there isn't any real three
dollar bill. The obvious lesson is that
you'll never have a counterfeit of any
thing that isn't real And also the addi-
tional lesson that if you ever find a
counterfeit you know there had to be a
real before that counterfeit could be
made. So when you repudiate a coun-
terfeit belief of the carnal mind because
it is not Godlike, always see what the
spiritual truth, fact, or quality is, recog-
lnze and claim it as part of your birth
rights as the son of God. This is the
second kind of prayer, the prayer OF
eoiri4uaf understanding
Knowing Man as
the Son Of God
Let us look into the Bible again, and
see what the Bible teaches about you
about man. wish you would think OF
what am going to say TO you just as
a womsn did the other night. She came
back after the lecture and said: "You
Z know, it was just as if everything yor
said. were said just to me-not to any
one else here. 1t was just as though
there was no one else here, except JUS
D you and me, and all you said was ius
made for me-" l wish you would think
of what l am going to say about yol
just that way.
