(‘l'BE 0F DISEASE AND DEATH The teaching of Christian Science concerning the cause and cure of dis- ease has to a great extent revised the world's thought on this subject. Many observing physicians are willing to admit much in the direction of the mental cause of disease; more. in- deed. than laymen who have less op- portunity. for observation. Christian Science goes beyond the niOst pro- gressive physicians and declares that all disease is of mental origin. In so doing it does not contend that every form of disease is due to con- scious {ear or wilful wrong-doing on the part of those who seem to be the victims or the disease. It merely claims that somewhere back of all strealled abnormal or diseased physi- cal conditions there are erroneous conditions of thought. According to Christian Science. disease is mental. the cause of the disease is mental. and the process which removes the cause and changes the effect is ment- al, or scientifically spiritual.

Thus in Christian Science practice it is- divine Spirit and not the human mentality which heals sickness and sin. it should not be suppOsed that all Christian Science Mind-healing is the result of what is known as treat- ment. either present or absent. Some times people are healed in conversa- tion with one who speaks the Word of God with conviction and underâ€" standing. Frequently healing has re- sulted from the reading of the Les- son-Sermons at Christian Science church services. and from public lec- tures on Christian Science. “He sent His word. and healed them" (Psalm cvii.). Many pe ' s have been per- fectly and perm ently healed of chronic cases of so-called incurable disease by studying the Christian Scicncc textâ€"hook. it will be seen that since it is divine Truth that brings freedom from human error. it matters not whether thc truth comes in iht‘ individual through silent treat- ment. through the spoken word, or through reading and study. The cs- ~cntial thing is that it comes to the on.- who is receptive. When it does cnmt' to such an individual, it is as ccrtain that it. will displace in con- sciousnss everything unlike itself as that light will destroy darkness. And it should be understood that Chrisâ€" tian Science treatment involves someâ€" thing morc than mere faith. it inâ€" Clinics dcmonatrablc understanding of thc over-presence and all-power of (ind. or divine Mimi. and this under- standing is the basis of all true faith. (‘hristian Science treatment is hascd upon the fundamental proposiâ€" tion that "all is infinite Mind and its intlnitc manifestation" (Science and iicalth. p. 468). It is therefore the only system of healing which denies thc actual existence of matter and int thc soâ€"called mortal mind. it will not be seriously contended that Jcsus used drugs in healing or that be dcpended in any way upon inattcr to facilitate his cures. There nould be few who would claim that Jesus cooperated «with doctors of medicine or that he rcquired medical diagnosis of the discascs hc cured'l‘he gospc rccord sliows that he healed the sick, rcformcd tht- sinner and mist-d ”it“ dcad by thc power of God. divine Spirit. alonc. if this spiritual mcthod was God‘s way of ht‘aling lit the time of Jcsus, it must be His way now. for God is unchanging if. nil thc other hand, the list' of drugs is (iod's way. why did not (‘hrist .lcsus use them? if the combined use of praycr and tncdicinc is t‘md‘s way. why did not Jesus combinc them in his practice" It is obvious that if mcdiciul- l~ of itsclf :ihl.» to hval, pinuvr is not it ttvcl-ssnt'y adjunct of tin- hcaling art. it prayer is cillcaâ€" cious. mctlicinc is not needed.

(Knowledge of Bible history is rela- tively important. Yet that which is of {prime necessity to the student who ,wnuld make its teachings applicable to his daily need is the spiritual ‘interpretation. it is of vital im- portance that we should find and follow that thread of spiritual inâ€" ‘spirntion which runs through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revela- tion. hi< prm-tit‘w" It mmliuim- l~ Hf itwlf 2 p!‘.l}o‘!‘ ix nut 11 nm-vss tln- hvuhlu: urt. H‘ p1 t‘hristian Scientists arc not in com- pctition with physicians. nor have ihn‘) any quarrel with them. They rm-ounizc that a lame class of mediâ€" cal doctors are sinccrcly striving to i'I'HPVt’ human suffering in what they believe to he the most efficacious manncr. Christian Scientists are ouitc willinL: that mcdical practice should stand or fall upon its merits. For this very reason they ask that t‘hristian Science practice he accord- ed the sann- right. If Christian Sciencc practice were based merely upon tho shifting sands of human philosophy and t-xpcrimentation. it could not long have resisted the storm of adversc criticism. In spite. howcycr, of persecution and mis- representation, it has proved itself in hundreds of thousands of instances to thc scientific and demontrahic. Therefore it continues to grow in favor with those who are sufficiently open-minded to hc guided by WOO! and dcmonstration rather than by prejudice and the bias of previous education along other lines. Year by year. often under the most adverse circumstances. Christian?

Study at the Christian Science text-hook has made Bible students of many whn previously were little fa- miliar with the Scriptures.

INTERPRETATION proof that what he said was true. He not only gave his works as proof to the disciples of John the Baptist that he was the Christ; but later in seeking to establish his claim of unity with the Father ‘he' said: “if i do not the works of my Father. be- lieve me not. But if I do. though ye believe not me. believe the works." Perhaps no other figure in history stands out so distinctly as does Christ Jesus a: an exnonent of the doctrine of works. but in all ages great characters have been immor- talized because of whatithey did for the human race rather than because of what they said in dqing it For example. the utterances of Abraham Lihcoln have not been excelled in beauty and truth by those of any man of modern times.§ Yet if the words of Lincoln shouldgbe forgotten. he would continue to lii‘e in what he did for n stricken race and a nation whose Very existenCv was threatened.

The very foundationé o! the Christian Science churchiwas laid in healing works, and its inberstructure Is ris- ing majestically? from that firm base. Before the Christian science text- book was publiahed. its author and her early students had already demonstrated the-truth of the pro- positions afterward laid down therew in. Since then students of that book in all parts of the world have been able to prove the truth of its teachâ€" ing by removing‘2 sicknpsa, poverty, and other ills “'03“ their experience according to definite miles of prac- tice. This booktij building for itself and for its aug‘hor a monument of good works whi' ' cannot be destroy- ed. but which w it endune to the end of time as an en'ctxjuragemeiit‘to those who are in dis-treks.

But Mrs. Eddy too had faith in her discovery. Yes. more than faithâ€"- she had absolute conviction and con- fidence begotten of understanding and demonstration. Therefore she was not dismayed by the storm of doubt which beat in upon her as the result of her proclamation to man- kind.
