B., of New York City, member of the board of lectureship of The Mother Church, The Pint church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston, Mw. pridsy erenlng at the Holly theater: ChrUtlan Science la applied to hu man problem through what St. Paul calls transformation by the renewing of the mind. Sin. disease, poverty, and the like, are healed by meana purely mental or spiritual. The means thus employed to help mankind are not supernatural, not occult, but Christian and scientific. They ex press the simple, natural, accurate Tightness of reality. Reaffirming and emphasizing the essential goodness of Ood, Christian Science defines evil, the opposite of good, as the unllkeneas of Ood. The degree of the unllkeness Is the meas ure of the evil. Stimulating and en larging the student's understanding of the nature of Ood, Christian Science enables him to distinguish evil from good and thus equips him to deal with evil Intelligently snd effectively. The great spiritual thinkers who speak to us through the Scriptures are of one accord In urging acqualn snce with the divine nature a es sential to mastery over evil. Jesus taught that to know Ood aright is the remedy for all Ills, even to the realisation of "life eternal." the per fection of being. Pure Christianity must be superior to everything that would tend to deplete or to destroy man, or even to hold him In a limited sense of life and destiny. ' Christian contemplation of Ood's nature as spiritual, therefore not ma mterlal, as Infinite and perfect, therefore neither limited nor incom plete, helps one to recognlre that materiality, limitation, and Imper fection ar unllkenesses of Ood, therefore not good but evil. Gross material mlndedness may not tske kindly to' such realization, but to spiritual mlndedness it Is natural and Inevitable. Spiritual mlndedness . may be cultivated by any earneat Individual through the study of the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy. Spiritual mlndedness Is the oppo site of material mlndedness. "The things of the Spirit" are discerned to be real and tangible as material sense Is put off through the trans forming processes of oorrect Christian thinking, In which there la diligent and syatematlo effort to love Ood, Infinite Spirit, "with all the mind." To spiritual mlndedness It Is In creasingly clear that whatever Is un like the goodness of Ood Is In Its final analysis false, and "Be not afraid!" thus becomes soienttflo. The hold of materialism Is loosen ing. Philosophers speak with assur ance of matter as a mere mental Im pression; the human voice encircles the earth In a moment; an ocean of pace Is but a day's Journey by air. Those who see natural progress In these things are not far from recog nition of the fact that Jesus could be at "the other side" of the sea instantlj by reason of the perfection of hla atate of mind, the aplrltual purity of his thought. Enlightened thinking In our da yhas reduced a continent to a few hours of travel and will continue to reduos matter until it no longer obitruote. Obstruction Is the opposite of freedom, and true freedom Is good. The general trend of human progress, despite occasional gross deviations, bespeaks the ulti mate triumph of the good, m her book, "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 945), Mrs. Eddy aays of "modern material inventions." "They are preparing the way for us." What Is needed Is not to disre gard or to slter reality but so to correct the sense of things that ths fact rather than the error ahall be revealed. Christian Science accomp lices this correction through prayer, through aplrltuallnitlon of thought, through the cultivation of a atate of mind that reject false physical sense testimony and accepts the spiritual truth. Jesus frequently said that hla aense of things' was different from that of materially minded persons. This Is especially noticeable In connection with hla healing work. Being aplrlt ually minded, he saw the ten lepers as clean, ready to show themselves to the prleat. He saw the paralytic by Bethoada pool aa able to "arise and walk." No queatlon appears to have occurred to him aa to whether the two blind men could see; they were questioned only as to their be lief. To him Luarus and the daugh ter of Jalrus were not dead but asleep. Hla statements on these and other like ccoaalona show that he was conscious of the fact that through hla Immaculate spiritual understand ing ths pryslral aense evidence of evil was reveraed and cast out. Such was the purity and strength of hla reallratlon that nothing but the good is true, thst many earneat peraona caught something of ths "mind that was In Christ Jesus'' and were lifted out of a sense of pain, deformity, sin, or liu-k. Net a fact waa changed. Jeans verified the prophecy of Isaiah that he ahould not Judge ac cording to "the eight of his eves" or "tiie hearing of his ears." accord ing to the material aenae verdict Since ths time of Jeaua the truth of being. In contradistinction to the human belief In evil, has not been uttered with anything like tits cour ageous clearness with which Mrs. Eddy haa set it forth In her many wrltlnga. The purity of her reallra tlon of the basic Tightness of reality Increasingly appears to tlte esrnest student, christian 6tlenltt there fore rejoice to acknowledge her aplr- llusl leadership. Life spiritual. Not material The common belief about a msn's life Is that he live within a physical body, that his Identity la located In side a mslerlal atruclure of flesh snd bonea. How life got Into the body, what keeps It there, bo It Is to get out, and where It Is to go when It gets' out, are subjects of much speculation and little assur ance. All human Ills are associated with the sense of life In the flesh. There in man la supposed to lire a precar ious life and to die an Inevitable death; therein are hla ache and pains, his fears and dlseppolntmsnts, his sinful habits, devastating appe tites, llluslvs pleasures. The sorrows and aufferinge from which mortals pray to bs delivered all have to do directly or Indirectly with ths so- called corporeal, fleshly selfhood. In cluding that which Is called the mind within ths body. ChrUtlan Selene. concerned with the overcoming of human HI, that the Inherent Tight ness of Ood's creation may appear. invites men to consider the reason sbleness of the proposition thst since discord Is found only within the realm of physical sens, the way out of trouble Us through the taking on of a batter sense. It Is possible to do this In a perfectly natural way. To hold to the belief that man Uvea Inside of a material body one must well-nigh Ignore the fact that actual life has not been found In the body. Bach of the activities wlthls the body can be truthfully described only as an effect of something else. If thst something else were inside of the body It scarcely could have escaped detection by this time. The situation Is illumined by such statement a this from the Christ tan Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to til Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 208: "You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delineate upon It thought of health, not of sickness. A moment's consideration makes It plain thst we do embrace our material body In our thoughts. Therefore both we and our thoughts must be In fact outside of that body. On ootud not well be Inside of that which he embraces. We contemplate our so-called physical selves from without, not from within. .If man does not really live In the flesh, then clearly he ought not to go on believing that he doe. In spired thought beckon us out of materiality. In Oeneala we are assur ed that true man I the Image and likeness of Infinite Spirit. A paalm reminds us thst we shall be satisfied when we awake in Ood's likeness, the likeness of Spirit. Isslah urges. "Cease y from msn, whose breath 1 In his nostrils: for wherein I he to be ac counted of?" Jesus, commanding hla followers to take no thought for the body, declares that real life, life eter nal, Is a state of mind, to know Ood aright. St. Paul, seeing that "they that are In the flesh cannot please Ood," advises Christiana to cultivate a willingness "to bs absent from the body, end to be present with the Lord." John, the Revelator, explaina the possibility of beholding new heaven and new earth, not material but spiritual, through mental purifi cation. ChrUtlan Science teaohes and proves that to lift one's sense of Identity and reality up out of the flesh Into Infinite Spirit promotes health and harmony. Thus Christian Science reatorea that which waa lost, ChrUtlan healing. Ufa was no mystery to Jesus. "It la the plrlt that qulokeneth; the flesh proflteth nothing." said he. The sick are healed ana sinners are in formed through learning to look out alde of the flesh for that true spirit ual animation which alon 1 capable of maintaining the universe and all that Is therein. To ths Master evidently It was clear that health la primarily a state of thought and only secondarily or Incidentally a condition of body or matter. To him the sick were those "whom Satan hath bound." the Sat an whom he described as "liar, and the father of It." a self-consiituwra II or falss sense, having "no truth" in It. Both the casting out of devlla, alck, deluded beliefs, and the spirit ual quickening of those who came to bs healed were acowipllshed through the operation of the Mind that was In Christ Jesus, aa St. Paul describes It. Those who were healed were those whose hearts were open to the regen--.t(u influence of that mind or sense which perceived and reflected the absolute truth concerning was creation. Tru Sense Versus raise The teachings of Christian Selene nninride with the affirmation of the Scripture that all thlnga war mads by ood. that witnout rum w anything made, that Ood saw. com prehended, creation In it entirety, and It waa very good. The Bible also sver that every thing that waa mads not only was In the beginning pertect and com plete, but Is now and everlastingly will be perfect and complete. In the word of Eocleslaates, "Whatsoever Ood doeth. It shall be for ever: noth ing can be put to It, nor any thing taken from It." These declsratlons ars true, not only because they appear In the Bible: they ars true because uiey could not possibly bs untrue. Reason and logic atflrm the aubllmely simple proposition that the Intelligence and ability to create a universe Imply the Intelligence and ability to create It aright. But while revelation and reason agree aa to the unanswerable (act. human sense argue through a thou aand dally eaperlenrea that discord, lesr, sin. and disease, myriad forms and phaeea of evil, do sxlat. are a part ot actuality; that creation. If it ever was good and right, was not sul tlcently good and right to remain forever good and right. Thers is conflict, in othsr words, between pure reason snd human ex perience. Neither the unatable theor ies ot material science, tns Blind hopes of superficial religion, nor the stupid dreams ot sensualism will solve this problem. Fortunately, in all ages there hsve been prophet snd seers who were not wholly deceived by the epparently overwhelming material sense testi mony on the wrong aide. In the nine teenth century a woman saw the In congruity between the truth of being snd experience of human life. Site saw that perfect (Kid and Imperfect man could not both he true. Imper fection could not be real unless God. the creator of all. la Its author. Im perfect creation could be the product only of Imperfect creator. To her the question waa clear-cut and uneaap able. Her answer waa such a would com from on who loved Ood whole heartedly and puremindcdlj a did Mary Baker Eddy. In her textbook, 'Selene and Health with Key to the Scriptures." psg lis, she write: "According to ths Scripture, I find that Ood U true, 'but every (mortal) man a liar.' " The aense of things that denlea the perfection of Ood and His creation I fslss. When Mr. Eddy learned that It la the physical senses which presume to tske Issue with Ood' perfection, she saw that It is ths Impressions of these senses which constitute whst the Bible term the "carnal mind." that "Is en mity against Ood." If Ood's man 1 all right, the mind or sense which says thst he is partly wrong U a lying mind, a false sense. Mrs. Eddy calls this false sense of things mortal mind, to dUtlnguish It from immortal Mind, which latter U properly spelled with a capital M. for It U a true synonym for Ood. When Paul declared that sal vation ahould be found In taking on the Mind that was In Christ Jesus. he knew that Jesus had repudiated ths so-called mind or sense of things thst accepted any evidence of reality In aught unlike the nature of Ood. Mortal Mind must be nut off. Whv? Becauss It is composed of that ma terial sense which Is unable to resut the temptation to believe that mind leas, Inert, nonlntelllgent matter has the capacity within Itself to think, to act. to live; to believe that man, heretore, U not the Image and like ness of Ood. Spirit, but U a physical meohanUm. Mortal mind consUts of the thoughts that It thinks. There fore, sa the Bible declares, "we wrestle not sgslnst flesh and blood." We are engaged In a warfare against wrong thinking. The true sense is spiritual and Its fruits are the opposite of sin and death. Application Is Simple "Become conscious for a single mo ment that Life and intelligence are purely splrltusl, neither in nor of matter, and the body will then ut ter no complaints," writes Mrs. Eddy on page 14 of science and Health. How la one to acquire that consclous- noss? By diligent right thinking. You are master of your thought, if you so choose. Your affairs, of body, mind, surroundings, are the coincident ex preslon of your thought. If you will begin, s a systematic dslly mental practice, to contemplate the essential nature of Ood, as beat you can conceive of Him, and defi nitely and in an orderly fashion to affirm In your thought the reality of Ood's nature; If you win In like manner systematically and persistent ly deny the essential reality of all that 1 unlike the nature ot infinite Spirit: if you will do this not aa a matter of vain repetition, but with an earneat striving to bring into thla activity some degree of conscious realization of the actual presence and power of Ood, operating In and through you to bring into expression the essential! of His nature, you will find that, asking bread, you will not be given a stone. You will find. If your experience does not differ from that of count less thousands of ycur fellow-men, that the setting Into operation of these processes of Chrlatlanly scien tific thinking will MfV.x to be made manifest In moat practical ways In your experience, In healing of aick neas, overcoming , of sin, mastery of lack, suppression of discord, elimina tion of fear. There U rich reward In taking your stand mentally on the side of the good Ood and His good creation. There I In spiritual reality noth ing the matter with Ood or His cre ation. The trouble Is with our sense of things. We need to take on the Mind thst was In Christ Jesus, which enabled him to say wtth absolute conviction, "Be ye therefore perfect, even s your Father which Is In heav en Is perfect." We need not merely to believe thla theoretic'.:?, but to af firm It practically, to use It as a spir itual weapon against suggestions of Imperfection, as did the Maater. The medicine of the Great Physl- etan waa denial of error and affirma tion of truth. Those whoso heart opened to hla teaching were mentally purified and stlmulsted, and the out wsrd effect were mantfeat. By thla purely aplrltual process the sick were heeled, the lame walked, the dumb spake, the blind saw. the dead were ralaed. And the method waa alwaya the same the definite rule of Im perfection denied, perfection affirm ed. "He sent his word, snd heeled them." Here was such clear reallra tlon of the fact of perfection that mere belief In Imperfection faded out of consciousness. Ths rediscovery of the Christ meth od of healing, the setting forth of the simple rule and method by which thU healing may be accomplished, and the establishment of a church to protect her discovery for the benefit of mankind, these affirm, and will Increasingly affirm, the greatuesa ot Mary Baker Eddy.

Th Overcoming of Lack ChrUtlan Science heal poverty In the same manner that alckness and sin are healed, through "the renewing of the mind." as St. Paul put It. In spired writers repeatedly bar assert. ed that thought adjusted to th di vine nature will bear fruit "after It kind." Jesus gave the unfailing rule for success when he said, "Seek y first the kingdom of Ood, and hu righteousness; and all these thing ahall be added unto you." ThU king dom, the Master said, U "within you," snd "st hand;" therefore the Individ ual Christian has th right to feel that ths essential completeness of reality Is present, not absent, and only need to be realized In order to be enjoyed. A divinely Intelligent and loving creator ha not made a man to be Im poverished any more than to be sick or sinful. Poverty, like disease and aln, Involve a mistaken sens of Ood and Hla work. The evil quality of poverty U not that It makes men suf fer but that It misrepresent Ood. The ChrUtlan aim in overcoming pov erty, as in healing alckneas and aln. U to th glory of Ood. Mere getting of money would not glorify Ood. but the demonstration of power over ma terial things through spiritual under standing doe "magnify the Lord." The writer of OeneaU affirm that divine Spirit has given msn domin ion over earthly things. Jeaua proved this to be true and said hU follow era should do likewise. One who for msny years hsd been distressingly limited in lnoome or sal ary found himself trying vainly to use his early glimpses of Chrlstlsn Science to enlarge the salary by some mysterious process. Finally he saw that what needed to be enlarged first was his understanding of man sa Ood's Image and likeness. It was hu narrow, pinched sense of self that was bringing forth 'after It kind" In hu personal experience. Cultivating a larger and more aplrltual concept of God and mnn, as he learned to do In a perfectly natural way through the teachlnge of ChrUtlan Science, he soon found this clarified vision re flected in hU affairs. Men and things began to manifest an unmistakable tendency to help rather than to hin der. Unexpected opportunities appear ed and unsuspected capacities came to light. Human relationships became more fruitful of good, after the man ner of true brotherhood. ChrUtlan Science cannot bs used for the mere acquisition of money or other material things, but It 1 auc eeaafully employed to the overcoming of that abnormal sense of lack which Is the result of lgnoranc of spiritual substance and which In turn bear fruit In human fear and poverty. Mastery of materiality la the secret of wealth and health. It U the mas tery that cornea to light In dally ex perience through the Chrlatlanly sci entific cultivation of spiritual-minded ness. Reality Brought To Light ChrUtlan healing la becoming leas mysterious to those who see. as men are Increasingly seeing, that so-called material object are object In sense or thought, not outside of thought or sense, snd that 'this Is true of the Individual object called a phys ical person and of th aggre gated object called a person's af fairs, njodern discovery and Invention reveal a dlatlnct trend away from many long-entrenched bellefa in the so-called substantial qualities of ma teriality. Liberated thought U being prepared to accept Mrs. Eddy's teach ing, that "There Is no life, truth. In telligence, nor substance In matter. All I Infinite Mind and Its Infinite manifestation, for Ood la All-in-all" (Science and Health, p. 488). St. Paul did not require a labora tory In order to be convinced that th flesh, materiality, "cannot Inherit th kingdom of Ood." that Is. has no place In reality. He was sufflel.mt.ly chris tian to see that there coulA be no es sentlol reality In that which does not contorm to the simple lclc '.hat th creation of a good creator U good. It was this ChrUtlan purity of thought which enabled Paul to be a disting uished hesler of the sick, after the manner of his great Master. HU em phatic reminder to the Athenians that "we live, and move, and have our being" In Ood. In Infinite Spirit, revealed a stst of mind through which heeling inspiration would nst urally radiate to those who were suf fering from the dlscondant effects of th belief that man lives In the un llkeness of Spirit, namely, In the fleah..

Each Term to this age th omnlpreeenc of Ood' goodness and th consequent unreal' Ity of whatever U unllk th goodness of Ood. Mary Baker Eddy could not nave discovered the science of Chris tisnlty had h not been willing truly to follow him of whom It was pro. phetlcally said. "He shall not Judge after the sight of hu eyes, neither re prove after the hearing of hU ears: . . . and he ahall smite ths earth with th rod of hi mouth." A mere theory of Crlatianlty might affirm the good ness of Ood and seek to Ignore ap pearance to th contrary. Th actual Science of ChrUtlsnlty must not only assert the goodness of Ood, but must "smite the earth" In proof of Ood goodness, teaching It adherent how to reverse the suggestions of physical aense, which otherwise would deny thst th cause of reality Is either wise or good. The Nature of r.vll There need b no perplexity In re gard to Mrs. Eddy' use of th term "animal magnetism" on th part of those who accept understanding!? her statement, on page 108 of Science and Health, that "A named In Christian Selene, animal magnetism or hyp notism U the specific term of error, or mortal mind." Mrs. Eddy haa not undertaken to invent a new kind of evil, nor Is the student of Christian Science invited to substitute a mental devil for a phys ical one. He u invited to use the term animal magnetism as "the specific term for error," because to do so will help him to adjust hU thought In telligently to the problem of evil as they appear In hU human experience. ChrUtlsnlty teaches, according to St. Paul, that man lives, moves, snd nas nu being in Ood. In Infinite Spir it. ChrUtUns presumably accept St. Paul statement that "they thst are In the flesh cannot please God." Spiritual existence alone U In accord wnn the design of Deity. oood men and women in all times have yearned for the realization of spiritual existence, but have found it oimcult to resist the attraction of a sense or life not In Ood. Spirit, but In animal llesh, which, according to the Scriptures, "lusteth against the Spirit." Like St. Paul they could say: wim in mind 1 myself sen the law of Ood; but with the fleh th law of sin." The specific term for anything U the term which reveals It exact or particular nature. ChrUtlan Scientists una trial the us of th term "anlmsl magnetism" aa "the specific term for error" helps them to understand that evil Is a false and fraudulent attrac tion of the sense of life from Spirit "" iiean, and mat outelde of the mesmeric Illusions of thU false and fraudulent sense there Is and can be no field of operation for evil mental miiuencea or tendencies. Thu th student learns that evil u.not a mys terious something to be either feared or Ignored, but a common impulse of the mortal mind, or fleshly sense, to be overcome. Through meeting snd mastering this fraudulent Impulse, on the basis of the essential rlghtness of Ood and HU creation, the scientific Christian make himself a channel for divine Love, which U the specific term for the only spiritually real Im pulse, Influence, attraction, or law. Thus he become a Christian healer. Resisting False Influence The activity of Christian Science is not of the nature of mental sugges tion or hypnotism. Jesus expounded th rule, "Not my will, but thine, be done." The effort of mentel sugges tion is to impose one human will upon another.' Much that Is Involved In the so-called law of evil and dis cs In human experience can be traced to some such wrong mental activity or mental malpractice. Jesus denounoed human will and proclaim ed the will of Ood to be the only real wiu-power. That rul brought heel ing to the sick nineteen centuries sgo. and It brings healing to the alck to-day. The rule. "Not my will, but thine, be done.' Is, of course, the rule of per fection. Gods will Is perfect. Thought that Is open to the fundamental Tightness of being catches something of the aplrltual Import . of Jesus' teaching, snd this Improved state of mind manifest Itself, after It kind. In outward conditions and affslrs. Jesus must hsve meant this when he said regarding one of his healings. "Thy faith hath msde the whole." His affirmation of Ood's will thst mad Is perfect had encountered a measure of acceptance, and that Im proved atate of mind which he named faith, expressed Itself In a corres ponding state of body, a states of mind never fall to do. Th scientific relationship between atate of mind and state of health Is affirmed and reaffirmed In t heScrlptures.

Christian healing will thu be seen to b th result of the adjustment of thought to the nature of Ood and HU creation. St. James must have been aware of thU when he admonished those who were sick to seek healing through the prsy- er of the righteous. Mrs. Eddy wss spiritually minded enough to pray In that manner and to teach others to do llkewlss. She devoted herself to that loving mission from ths tlms she discovered ChrUtlan Science. Disposing of a Negation Having accepted the Scriptural as surance that the author of all reality U good, and the creator of that only which is good, the Christian Sclentiat does not shun the logical conclusion that evil U not an entity. The teach ing of ChrUtlan Science, that evil Is primarily a negation, may be illustra ted by ths negatlveness of the vll called Ignorance. The schools are devoted to the over coming of Ignorance, yet they do not regard it aa something. No time Is wasted In the schools In trying to in struct any on a to th origin or element of Ignorance. If a pupil were to demand to know who made Ignor ance, when It cam from and what it consist of, h would have to be told that nobody made Ignorance. It does not come from anywhere, nor doe It consist of anything. Th educator know that lgnoranc Is not ths pres ence of something but the absense of something, tn other words, a pure ne gation. Knowledge of the essential negatlveness of Ignorance does not tempt the educator to ignore the ef fect of th negation. Oone who haa gone to school could not consistently say that It U Impos- alble to comprehend the Idea of a purely negative evil, a mere nothing. which yet need to be positively and rigorously handled to overcome. Chris tian Scientist accept the definition of evil or devil as given by the Mas ter, namely, that It Is "a liar, and the father of It," and has "no truth" In It; In other words, a self-constituted He, utterly devoid of truth. Jesus' practice waa conalstent with hu preaching as regard the nature of evil. The essential nothingness of evil need not be accepted as a mere theory; It can be proved In many ways by those who are willing to adjust their dslly thinking to thU rule, as explained In the ChrUtlan science textbood.
