this point, "I know of a case

answer very simply and directly.

life because you have not obey

vould have been labeled speedily

other forms of Inharmony. Jt
was not an uncommon - sight to
see a member of our family re-1

iome a severe headache caused
by overwrought emotions. We :
-,knaw-not Ju .thflso days that emu-!
tionalism was the product of the(
carnal mind, and not of tho til-
vine Mind, and that the simple
sweet message of Christ Jesus
should heal headaches and still
the turbulent emotions. In fact, '
the good news brought by Chris
tian Science to a b vlfering world -Is
that a scientific understanding
of the teachings of Jesus of Naz
areth can begin this very day to
untangle our enarls and find an- J
swers to our many human prob- j
leitis: that Christianity must not,
only anvii men- from a future hell
but from 'a present hell the hell
of : -sickness, lack, fear, hate, and
all' lis unlovely etceteras, that
heaven, the reign of harmony, Is
possible In ever-increasing degree
liere and now.
An Instance of Jesus' j
Healing.
Let us consider for a moment !
one of the many examples given j
us In the Scriptures of Jesus'
simple, and yet to o v sense mar-
veluus handling of a problem of
sickness. Take one of his early
healings In Luke's gospel. He it
besought to help the mother of
Simon's wife,., who is seemingly
gravely 111. Apparently the Mas
cr makes no inquiries as to the
symptoms, does not ask for the
cause of the malady, nor does
he desire to take her tempera
ture nor feel her pulse. Let us
see what happened, as recorded
by Luke. "And he stood over
her, and rebukvd the fever; and
It left her, and Immediately she
arose and ministered unto them."
There w as no period of conval
escence, no gradual abating of
,lhc fever, nor slow recovery of
strength, and the great Healer
did not caution her about her
diet and warn her not to cat too
much. "Immediately, she arose
and ministered unto them"! ln I
the records of Its four thojan.l
years medicine cannot find such
an astounding cure of fever
wrought through any of its ma
terial methods. And yet Christ
Jesus did not one material thing.
He rebuked the fever the fev
er, please notice, and not the wo
man. Now a word is only tho
audible expression of a thought;
hence that which brought about
this remarkable healing was
wholly mental in ot her words.
It was something which the Mas
ter thought or understood.
How Old dc-us Heal the Sick?
This mighty understanding we
. see rebuking melean spirits, heal
ing epilepsy and all manner of
disease; wo see it stilling storms;
enable J-sus to walk on the wat
er, to feed the multitude, and
even to raise the dead. Perhaps!
the saddist and moiit grievous er
ror which scholastic theology i
makes is the relegating of these
demonstrations of Jsus control !
over evu nnd mai'Tinmy to tmv
ren I in of 1 he miraculous. Theo
logy excuses Its failure to do
these works on the ground that
Jesus was God. anil his acts
standing the fiict thut the Mas
ter plainly said that of himseif
lie could do nothing, that It
was the Father d welling' in him
that did the works, nnd that
