In shor evil is the mortal illu
sion which presents itself mesmerJc

apprehended when some phase of it
Is overcome with the understanding
of Its unreality.
"And wlnit Is (tie exact nature- of
disease? Of course It Is a phase of
evil. Primarily and 9entially it is
mental. It is a particular form of
illusion with certain physical conse

I the moment, of a true pense of being!
and the lack of even a i
normal human sense of being. In
As He is, so are we in this world.
"Of course the words 'light' Mid
'darkness' as here used represent
good and evil, as they do elsewhere
in the New Testament. So we may
say that God is light, or good, and in
Him is no darkness, or evil, at all
nothing unlike absolute good. And
as he is, so are we, not In a far-off
time or place called heaven, but here
and now in the reality and truth

"There are two facts either of
which ought to put an end to hostil

Tho first of thutio facts is that IK

CliriHtuiu Science before MrH. Kddy
founded n new church and nhe did
so then only because the uou-recop-j
Ilvo attitude of the then existing!
churches made a new church neces-l
8a ry so that ChrlHtaln Science- might
be presented to tho world.
"The other fact to which I have re
ferred is this: The ('hutch of Christ,
Scientist, has Kit hied iiiouiImth only
as those who have come to ChrlHtatn
Science have gained a bettor lile.

"To the wise of this time ChrliUain
Science healing Is the sign of man's
complete dominion over evil. It sig
nifies that no ill or evil - no harmful
event or condition Is either lawful
ur ualiiral; none is inevitable; none
but what can be overcome with the
l:ov and power of God. Christaln
Sclenc0 simply makes practical tho
ideal of worship and service set forth

of wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed go

Testament, especially the historical
parts of it, en n fmd plenty of evident1'

Clirlstalns included loosing men and
Women from the bondage of disease.
And though the greater part of tho
New Testament was written many
tears after tile personal ministry of
Jesus, there Is nothing to Indicate
Chat the practice of healing bad
tft'ased ; nor Is any reason given
why It should cease. On the contrary,
It Is consistently referred to as a
continuing service, and as a distinc
tive or characteristic of the Christ
sin ministry.
"Why did the practice of Chrlslatn
healing cense? And why does nny
tnn ohjert to Its revhai? There is
one answer to both of these ques
Moiih; that is. the failure to see the
principle as distinguished from tho
person, In the work mid the tenden
cy of human thought, even that
which la religious to cling to a ma
terial atMtflft of a0 things. Hut for
this, and the fears which are felt
for other interests, the Science of

universally. !

"These developments indicate
states and stages of material belief,
but as tindertsanding forsakes mat

greater, for we then come to the
power of omnipotence, tho power ade

"Tho original objection to Chrlat
nin Science healing was a flat denial
that it bad occ.ured or could occur.
Now that cases of healing have he
cMuo nonierous, either personal ob
servation or the weight of testimony
has convinced most people, and the
greater part of those who still hold
out hnvp chosen a difficult position.
They can say that they never have
known a case of Chrlstnln Science

tho statements of persons who would
be regarded as worthy of belief on
other Hxbieets. or by Insisting on

the employment 0r a remedial sys

so employed. This is the logical con

vldence of a cure can bo seen, and
It Is held that the sufferer Just got

"Hut Christain Science healing Is
perfectly knownble; it Is apprehended
as fast as one gains the true senso of
being and of what life Includes.
"With most people the chief diffi
culty Is the distinction between what
really Is mid a person's concept of it.
This ought net to be a stumbling
point, for physical science ond philos
ophy recognize such a distinction,
although they do not boIvb the prob
lem which they acknowledge. Thus,
in n recent hook on 'The Problems of
Philosophy it is said that the ono
thing wo know about any physical
oMeet Is that It Is not what it seems.
"Healing with Chrlstnln Science
Involves the application to man of
the distinction between a real object
and the human Sonne of It; that Is,
the difference between the man of
God 'a creating and the human or mor
tal concept of man. There are not
two kinds of men, the one mortal, the
tnr immortal. in the absolute
truth of being there Is only one kind
of man. but In human belief there are
innnv differing views of him.
"Whether man Is mortal or im
mortal to yon depends on your way
of thinking. To material sense man
is mortal, but to spiritual sense he

itual element of human consciousness

"Take for illustration the incident
related In the 28th chapter of Acts.
Paul was laying a bundle of sticks
on a fire, when a viper came out of
the heat and fastened on his hand.
The bystanders looked for him to be
come swollen and fall dead, hut he
'shook off tho beast and felt no harm.'
The spectators referred to in the
narrative as 'barbarians,' concluded
that Paul was not man but a god.
Tho scientific explanation is that
Paul was a man like any other, but
his mental state, and his ability to
maintain proved to be superior to
the evil thought, named poison, to
shall bo rooted up.' That is to say
only that is real or enduring of which
God Is the author. He referred ev

Principle thereof. Divine good is the
cause, the substance, the Principle

by Paul: 'Be not conformed to this

How, in what wny, can this be done?
Paul answered that question nlso nt

that constitutes self depends on the

not partly but wholly. If the mental

action is erroneous representing

"Therefore human conditions are

TIIK WAY OF SALVATION
"Let me call your attention to the
Perfect parallel between this utter

quoted from Mrs. Kddy. By bringlne
them together we have the nature of

In two sentences.
The position of Chrlstnln Science,
therefore with reference to what It
declares to be unreal is perfectly con

disease, death, want, woe, suffering
