She founded, one by one, all the vari- ous means by which Christian Science has been brought before the public, displaying in this beneficent work a wisdom and loving kindness which •tamp her, not only as a great discov- erer, but also as a large-hearted and broad-minded woman. Under her wise care, periodicals were established which Illustrate the teaching of Christian Science in hu- man affairs: The Christian Science Journal, appearing monthly; also. Iter Herold der Christian Science, pub- lished monthly in German; the Chris- tian Sclein o Sentinel, appearing week- ly, and The Christian Science Moni- tor, a daily newspaper, which lays spe- cial emphasis upon the good in hu- man endeavor and achievement, upon that which Is wholesome and helpful. These periodicals go to all portions of the globe, emphasizing the teachings of Christian Science and carrying with them the glad tidings of spiritual healing and regeneration. Spiritual Healing. A further question now presents It- self for our consideration. What are the means adopted in Christian Science for the conquest of sin. sick ness and death? Let It be understood at once that it is not possible to reform the sinner or heal the sick in Christian Science by what is termed mental suggestion The practitioner who tries to influ- ence, oajole. or force his subject to be lieve anything which he himself does not believe, is deceiving both himself and his subject, and is using some kind of will-power, whether it be styled mental suggestion, mesmerism animal magnetism, or hypnotism. The practitioner who suggests to his sub- ject some state of mind which the practitioner imagines to be desirable ~6uT does not believe to be true, is not practising Christian Science. The practice of Christian Science admits of no questionable or equivocal situa- tions. It means the reflection of Truth to the sufferer, the recognition and realisation of the only true Ood, •lid of man's true nature as made in the linage and likeness of Qod. Noth- ing short of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth will satisfy the demands of Christian Science. Not a truth to which the physical senses need subscribe, but the troth which muBt be spiritually dis- cerned, which Is established now, as UaJways has been and always will be. ^tv.Aaalnat.this truth nothing can pre- S* It- V mt- sSÂ¥i answer to the question. What is mmâ- :.$Â¥* Christian Science treatment? is a very stsjple one; so simple that those ||^'.f:wlK» are looking for some strange new ^f|*lOT«nttoii, for some sort of myateri- p$g : on** mystic, or occult Influence of one #:V. human mind over another, for some §§t' exhibition of human will-power, will ;| bo disappointed. The modus operandi of Christian Science in reforming the Sinner and healing the sick may be de- scribed in one word, and that word an old-fashioned one which is familiar to mankind the world over. Christian Science conquers sin, sickness and death by prayer. By prayer scientifi- cally understood and applied, mankind eaa possess itself of all God's bless- 1nf of health, happiness, and an in- orMulng measure of slnlessness, but only when mankind complies with Ood's law*. This prayer must not be addressed to a, false god or a man-made god, must not be colored by the assumption that tiodlslike a human being; that He is a dispenser of evil as well as good, given to BUdden reversals and to repentance, meting out rewards and punishments .like a human sovereign. Prayer which attempts to change Ood from Hit purpose, to give Him infor- jb liiation about His own creation, to in- tduoe Him to do what He has not al- Jjraady done,â€"such prayer must remain aBanawered, because addressed to a false god; indeed, to an impossible 'jEOtt. Nor is such prayer sanctioned toy Jfcsus. =f,jTh* great Master gave us The l,e«f'i Prayer. He also gave the fol- tovtftg* profoundly metaphysical ad* vto concerning prayer: "What things â- ntysr ye desire when ye pray, believe tisst jm receive them, and ye shall (Mark 11; 24). Mr*. Eddy thus defines prayer In Witrnm opening words of "Science and HealUT: ^pfiTte prayer that reforms the sinner ""and heals the sick is an absolute faith jytkat an things are possible to God,â€"-a ^•pMtaal understanding of Him, an lllinsellad tove." | Taat absolute faith, or spiritual un- % detstawfliiig, although producing phys- ionl ea wen as mental and moral ro- be baaed on the tesU- m^famy o< Phyaical sense, but must find £!$$£ aaUefoctfcm in to* tIMffgs which |^;a» w* •»•»• It entails a cultivation of riant thinking and of spiritual per- oapllou; no baphasard, blind belief B Ariag tntsnawr to our prayer, t •> lowmiBg; or acianos of Ood, la the indispensable foundation for suc- cessful prayer. To pray with this un- derstanding is to pray aright This is the effectual prayer, the "prayer of faith," which James assures US "Shall save the sick," as well as reform the slnne.v Material Methods, Now, In contradistinction to this method of healing the sick by spirit- ual means, what can we say of the pre- vailing tneth»d' H»w does it com- pare with the example set by Jesus, his disciples anil apostles and by the early Christians for some three or four hundred years after the cruci- fixion? The prevailing method of healing the sick treats man as a material mechanism, and not as a thinking being, governed t)> God. The attempt to heal man hy treating hfm as matter has resulted in a succession of experi- ments, but has never established an enduring, final, or truly scientific method of destroying disease. The history <-f these experiments, from the earliest times to the present day, should make thoughtful men and women pause Christian Scientists yield to no one in giving due credit to the good men in all ages who have devoted their lives In an endeavor to heal the si< k by material means. They honor their motive while disagreeing with their methods But every think- er should recognize that the practice of material medicine has failed to dis- close the true cause of disease. The effects of disease on the physique are apparent, but the attempt to find the cause in matter has failed for the sim- ple reason that the cause is not ma- terial, but mental. Every material substance on the earth or under the earth has, at one tipne or another, been ground up In mortars and administered as medi cine, in pellets or in powders. There has been a multiplicity of schools. There have been diametrically oppo- site ways of treating the same dis- ease. No profession has experienced such violent changes as that which at- tempts to heal by material means; no text-books become so quickly anti- quated as those which deal with these same remedies; and all this because the attempt has been persistently made to treat man as a material or- ganism instead of a thinking being. It is not too much to say that in spite of the arduous labors ef millions of de- voted men spread over thousands of years and applied to literally billions of caBes, the attempt to And the true cause of disease In matter is still as far from success as ever. But Christian Science, recognizing man as a mental being, governed, by God, is able to heal cases of disease which have defied every known mate- rial remedy. No Incurable Evil. Christian Science proves that no evil is real, eternal, or Incurable, but all evil has its source in the carnal mind, the mind of mortals, and can be made to yield to the divine Mind, God, the almighty, when mankind ful- fils the terms of cure and forgiveness. .No matter what form evil may take, whether it manifests itself as moral, mental, or physical, as an inherited tendency or idlosyncracy, as loss of faculties, as an apparently inveterate habit or uncontrollable appetite, as progressive disease, organic or Inor- ganic, functional, acute or chronic, the infinite, omnipotent Mind Is equal to every emergency and willingly mas- ters every phase of error as mankind compiles with God's ways. Shblfid the evil to be eradicated have been pro- nounced incurable by expert medical opinion, by the wisest, most humane of physicians, even then that opinion would stand for naught before God, and the divine Mind which made everything that was made and saw that it was good, would still be a suffi- cient saviour from and healer of that particular evil in response to the prayer of righteousness or right un- derstanding. Or, should BO-called natural laws decree decrepitude or breakdown as the result of overwork, trying climate, or any other supposed cause, the spiritual understanding of God would still be available to inter-, pose a successful veto and Gld's im- mutable law could still frustrate the attempted destruction of man and re- store him to health and happiness. The time has arrived in the history of mankind when it is no longer suf- ficient to say merely: "I believe." It! is now necessary to say: "I know." "I know that my Redeemer liveth.* In other words, the time for mere creeds which say only, "I believe" is passing away, and the dawn of Science is here.
