Throughout her work as the leader of a great religious move-‘ ment she consistently turned the ut- tention of (‘hristian Science away from herself to the message that was spoken through her. Her aim and hope, as she often said, were to "quick- en and increase the beneficial effects of Christianity" (Science and Health, p. 367; Miscellaneous Writings. p. 207). The spiritual vitality of her message is proved by what it has al- ready done; but this is only a fore- taste of the benefits that will accrue to humanity as this Science is more wideâ€" ly understood and practised. To the wise of this t ime Christian Science healing is the Sign of man‘s complete dominion over .evil. It sig- nifies that no ill or evilâ€"no harmful event or conditionâ€"is either lawful or natural; none is inevitable; none‘ but what can be overcome with the law and power of God. Christian Sciâ€" ence Slniply makes practical the ideal of Worship and service set forth by Isaiah: “To loose the bands of wicked- ness. to undo the heavy to let the oppressed go ye brwzik every yoke." ('HRISTIAN HE A thoughtful reader burdens, and free, and that ALING of the New Testantert, especially the historical. parts u“ it. can find plen ty of evidence that the (‘hristian religion. as prac- tised by its Founder and the early‘ Christians, included loosing men and Women from the bondage of discs e. And though the greater part of 33'!) New Testament was written many years after the personal ministry of Jesus, there is nothing to indicnte that the practise of healing had ceased; nor is any reason given why it should case On the contrary, it is consist- ently referred to u n continuing aer- ViCe. and as distinctive intic of the Christinn ministry. or character- - ,A:_â€" Why did the pactiu of Christiani healing cease?

There is one an-i "er to both of these questions; that: is, the failure to see the Principle, as‘ distinguished from the person, in the; Vork, and the tendency of human} thOught, even that which is religioua.‘ to cling to a material sense of all‘ filings. But for this, and the fears Which are felt for other interests, the Science of Christian healing would be weicamied universally.

CONVISCING PROOFS The original objection to Christian Science healing'was a flat denial that it had occurred or could occur. Now that the cfises of healing have become numerous. either personal observation or the weight of testimony has con- vinced most people. and the greater part of those who still hold out have chosen a difl’icult position. They can say that they never have known a case of Christian Science healing only by refusing to accept the statements of mLâ€" "mum be regarded as With most.

There are not two kinds of men, the one mortal. the other im- mortal. In the absolute truth of being there is only one kind of man, but in human belief there are many different views of him. Whether man is mortal or immortal to you. depends on your way of think-l ing. To material sense man is mortal,1 but to spiritual sense he is immortal;l and the absolutely spiritual element of, human consciousness is all of it that is real or true. The knowledge which knows is derived from Principle; it isl the spiritual reflection of the Mind that is Spirit, or God. There is no other true consciousness. A SCIENTIFIC AN A LYSIS Then, what is evil? 0! what does it consist? Jesus defined it as “evil thoughts." He resolved all of “the things which defile a man" into thoughts that are evil. Therefore the whole sum of evil thoughts in human consciousness is the evil one or one evil from which we pray to be deliv- ered c- vu- But the great Teacher did not leave} the subject there. If evil thoughta‘ were true thoughts, they would be A: substantial as anything in the uniâ€" verse. If they were not diflerent and separate from true consciousness, there would be no delivennce from them. Hence we have his further dee- cription of evil as a lie, and his em- phatic statement that there is no T.|.phone 794-1- 207 I. Jake Gordon 17 w. Elm Place First Class Shoe Repair“?!

" A BROAD ILLUSTRATION Tnkc for illustration the incident re- lated in the 28th chapter of Acts. Paul wn laying a bundle of sticks on I fire, when a viper mime out of the heat and fastened on his hand. The bystlndere loo' ed for him to become swollen and ”all dead, but he “shook ofl the beast and felt no harm.” The spectators. referred to in the narrative as ”har- bal’ians." concluded that Paul was not a man but a god. The scientific explaiiaitinn is that ‘ “ml was n man like any other. luut his 1mental state. and his ability to mimi- ‘lfl'm it. prm‘eal to be superior to the evil thought, named poison. to Whlt‘h ‘1!"01h9r might have sun'umhed.

To cure it, the illusimi of evil must he llT\)l‘.t'H. For either preven- tidn or cure, the fulw innterinl sense, wth ' its fear. ignorance. and sin. which would-enter or remain in one's consciousness, must be controlled by the true spiritual sense. As Mrs Eddy has said. “To prevent disease or m cm it, the power of‘Truth, of divine ‘Spirit. ,must break the dream of the lmlterial senses" (Science and Health, 'lp. 412). THE MAIN Ql'l-ISTION ' The main question for each of us to“ ddrlde is whether his view of Life and’ self should be subordinate or superior‘ to the so-called facts of mortal exist- ence. Christian Science adopts the answer to this question offered by. Ptulzâ€"“Be not conformed to thisi world: but he ye transformed." How, in what way, can this be done? Paul nfilwered that question nlao at the same time. He said, “By the renew- ing of your mind." Every item of experience is primar» ily and essentially mental. All that constitutes self dependh' on the mental state. Causation is mental, not partly but wholly. 1f the mental action is trueâ€"representing divine Mind or i'Ifruth-â€"the effect is harmony experiâ€" ‘ anced as gominexs. joy, health. and the like. If the mental action is errone- ourâ€"representing the mesmerism of i evil--the result is discord in the form ‘of sin, suffering. disease, and the lilze. r Therefore human conditions are im- proved and human experience trons-j formed “by the renewing of your“ imindf‘ that is. as false mentality is I‘displaced by true thought.
