ntv they? They were never more or less
than consciousness, and Christian Sci
ence teaches, nn common sense does,
that consciousness never found a rest
ing place beneath six feet of earth'
Through Hh release from a mensuro of
sense-bondaRe, consciousness must In
stantly experience In a dcRree something
of the true resurrection the ascension
of thought to perceive the Immortality of
life.
Many think death Is n. sacred visita
tion nnd the custom of tiptoeing around
in Hh presence, speaking in undertones
nnd robing ourselves In sackcloth nre
common practices Incident to Its appear
ance. Scrlpturo refers to It as an ene
my, not a friend. Jesus Rave It no place,
und met nnd conquered It because ho re
garded it as n plinoo of error that was
tlm outgrowth of materialism.
In tho truest sense what Is ntoant by
death la characterized by Paul an carnal
mlndednesH "To be carnally-minded Is
death " ThlH he said of tho naturo of
that mind or consciousness which Ih
grossly material tho sum total of all
carnality or tlnt which Is exactly op
posed lo spirituality. He ulso said, "To
be Hplrltually-mlnded Ih life and pence."
This agrees with Jesus' concept of life,
for he said, "And this is life eternal tluit
Ihey might Know thee, tho only true God
and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent."
Of Eternal Life.
Hplrltunl-mlndenness or understanding
then Jesus considered as synonymous or
eternal lire, and he en mo to Import this
understanding to others. In order as lie
said, "that they might have life und
hnve It more abundantly." Thus if n
knowledge or understanding of God.
good, constitutes eternal life, then surely
the absence or this true knowledge might
well bo designated an death.
Tho mind, consciousness, or Intelli
gence, which enabled him to do the works
that ho did, Jcua characterized na God,
or tho rather Paul urged that we
should hate tho mind "which una nlso
In Chrlat Jesus." Hence It la thut Chris
tian Science speaks to that slumbering
or dormant carnal or mortal mind with
tho view of Illuminating It or educating
It out or Itself resurrecting It as It
were nnd says: "Awake thou that
sleepeth ntul Christ shall glvo thee
light," and 'VVrlse. shine: for thy light Ih
come, nnd tho glory of tho Lord Is risen
upon thee." We tuny woll spend ovory
moment In rejoicing that wo havo
through Christian Sclenoo learned some
thing nt least of tho verity und eternity
of life unit thn unreality of death.
In Jesus' time diseases und afflictions
weio cotumon,ly regarded ns duo to tho
presence of ex II. frequently spoken of
as evil spirits or devils; therefotc, tho
command to cast these out. Ills minis
try disclosed tho fact of tho lutltuato
asoclatlon or evil or dot 11 with till man
ner of discords, and wo noto that lie
overcame It and cast It out und released
the afflicted ones. On certain occasions
't would appear that evil recognized In
him Hh master und with fear imd tremb
ling shrunk from hln very presence.
Contrary lo tho teaching nnd prnctlco
of Chrint Jcnun, wo find tho "wholo mi
perstructuro of modern Christianity
built upon the belief in n dcHnlto ovll
being who brought about the fail of
man" If then tho exlnlonco of modern
Christianity In contingent upon tho be
llr In evil or dovli nn a. verity nnd n
power, loRlcally tho dentructlon of evil
would mean tho demolition of modern
Christianity, Then pray, how shall we
reconclbi the teaching of the latter with
whnt thn Manter said and did, nnd llo
In Hutirxised to hnve founded true Chris
tianity? Hcripture snyn "Tho non of
(lod wub manifested that no miRni de
stroy the works of tho ilovll" and nlso
"Illm that had tlm power of death, thnt
In tho dovll." Christ Jesus nnalysln
of evil or devil discloses tho fact that
ho perceived that It wiih not real, for Im
characterized It an a falsity and without
tho nhndow or truth. Head the forty
fourth verse of tho chapter of Ht. John's
gospel. Jesus titrlpped tho disguise
from evil or devil and exposed It nn n
He from tlm beginning, and taught that
It muni bo cast out.
Evil When Exposed.
Tho conclunlon In inevitable thnt the
phenomena of evil uro to Im accounted
for by tho presence In men's conscloun
nesn of the belief In ami fear of It, and
It han found expression only tn the ut
ternnceH and deeds of those enslaved by
It. Thun no long un evil nn a llo car. suc
cessfully deceive us, It will use us ns a
tool and finally make us Its victim Kx
posed as a He, It falls a coward at your
feet.
The remarkable and Improved changes
wrought In the temperament, character
nnd deeds of men by Christian Hclence
aro the direct result of the canting out
of evils or devils. Thin evidence of our
obedience to tho Master's command in
attracting more attention today, perhaps.
than physical healing. The latter Is
merely an incidental cxperlenco on the
way to thn ultimate of reformation and
transformation. The most precious gtrtn
of Christian Hclence are to bo designat
ed oa peace, Joy, contentment, satisfac
tionexperience nnd conditions that are
no essential and which only can become
ours through the casting out of evils
and the acquirement of enlarged spir
itual understanding. Ily a proper appli
cation of scientific and demonstrable
knowledge of spiritual truth, errors In
belief which throng one's consciousness
arc cast out. dissolved and dissipated as
naturally, scientifically and Inevitably
us light destroys the darkness. Usually
the first errors to yield In cne'a mental
ity arc those which hnve found expres
sion in physical infirmities, but this Is
not the goal which Chrls'lnn Hclence
urges un to seek. We should strive for
nnd win a consciousness thoroughly
purRed of evil, and so we press forward
as Mrs. IMdy has so aptly put It In our
text-book (Hclence and Health, p. 3:3)
"until boundless thought walks enrap
tured, and conception unconflned is
winged to reach the divine glory."
In criticism of Jesus his enemies said,
"He hath a devil and Is mad: why hear
yo. him. Others said: These nro not
tho words of him that hath a devil. Can
a devil open the eyes of the blind?" It
han been said of Christian Science that
It Is of the devil. God forbid that ani
on e on earth should believe that evil or
the devil has healed blindness, tubercu
losis,' tumors, cancers, paralynls. and
myriad of other so-called incurable dis
eases. And yet hundreds of authentic
cases of Just such healing as this stand
tn the credit of the practice of ChrlH
tlan Science.
Christ Jesus practised on the same
type or man that practitioners or other
systems did and he healed hln patients
of both sin und disease by one nnd the
same metaphysical process tho opera
tion of the knowledge of Truth. How
ever, his analysis of causation radically
differed from the materialists, because
he uppenred to bo concerned neither
about what a man's body was composed
of, nor about the nature or character
of his disease.
Resplmtlon, temperature, coated
tongue or the beating of the pulse did
not mean anything to him, and he never
asked about the food n man had been
eating or drinking, or even the nlr he had
been breathing; Indeed, ho said. "Take
no thought for the body." All this we
can understand. If we will. If Jesus
ever accepted the chemists analysis of
n man's body he naturally would have
accepted tho same authority's analysis
of the food which the man consumed,
i ncn goon, ordinary common sense
would have assured him that the com
monplace act of adding the S5 per cent
of water and 15 per cent of "Inorganic
salts," said to bo contained In food to
tho same percentage of kindred elements
found In tho human body, couldr not
possibly causa indigestion.
Jesus' Analysis.
However, observing students have not
allowed the fact to escape their at ten
Hon, that Jesus did tnko rngnlzanco of
tho thoughts and deeds of men. Ho not
ed that primarily It was evil thinking
which defiled men. We read thnt or
one occasion he said: "Kot that which
gocth Into the mouth deflleth u mnn: but
thnt which cometh out of the mouth, this
deflleth a man. timse thltiRs
which proceed out of the mouth conu
forth from the heart, nnd defile the man
Kor out of tho heart proceed evil
thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornlcn
tlonn, thefts, false witness, blasphemies
These uro the things which defllo a
man "
Ills analysis disclosed causation as
mental rather than physical, henco he
healed tho people by the power of his un
derHtnudlng, nnd ho enlightened them.
quickened their comprehension and stlm
ulnted mental energy and activity. He
took advantage of the simplicity of the
faith of his hearers und leavened It with
understanding, so that It could remove
mountains of error. He was u tecognUed
uuthorlty upon all questions, und ho as
tonished every ono with his learning and
wisdom, and the patience and lovo which
ho displayed when dealing with their
Ignorance and misery. It was conceded
that ho went about doltiR good.
Jesus tuuRht men how to pray nnd
showed them how by right thinking and
good behavior they could rid themselves
of ovll desires, hublts, effects nnd Influ
ences. Moreover, ho insisted that they
should bo actuated by tho satito mind or
consciousness which possessed nnd Im
pelled him, nnd which ho designated au
his Kuthor nnd their Kather, ho thnt they

come to the realization of thin penplo
tho fulfilment of Jesus' prophecy: "He
that bellcveth in me, tho works that I do
shall he do also; und greater works than
theso shall ha do; because I go untotny

cast out devils; they shall spcuk with
new tongues; they shall take up ser
pents, and If they drink any deadly thing
It shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall re

the endeavor Is to exemplify ail that In
possible for tho human to comprehend
and express of true charity, even that
concept of genuine charity which Paul
hoo so comprehensively yet exhaustively
embodied In the thirteenth chapter of
First Corinthians. The benefactions of
Chrlatlan Science extend to all classes
without distinction as to nationality,
rank or caster and Included In tho scopo
of Its teaching and practice tlw Inveatlga
tor will find a remedy for every undesir

and conduct Christian Hcienco urges men
to a strict obHervnnco of the golden rule,
and that new commandment which tho
Master gave and which forms tho bnslu
of true brotherhood: "That ye love ono
another: as I havo loved you."
The promises of Christian Scienco nro
to be found In the -Scriptures as well as
the literature especially devoted to Its
teaching and practice. Aa thes promises
must nit be fulfilled the mission of
Christian Hclence will not bo completed

This is because It is not founded upon
the personality or Individuality of any
one, but rather upon Principle which ua
sures Its permanence.
It la recognized that that Impersonal
spiritual consciousness which gave
Christian Science to tho world Is still
