it id said that mere are more
th-u iwq hundred a liferent kinds
of the CiU'lsti^-a religion, aione, nut
to niontiou til a h unary da of other
iona* «C religions that are not Chris

true. It mast bg conceded that,
in the main, all pooplo are equally
honest and equally sincere in their
religious beliefs. The only reason
why they are grouped together iu
difierent forms of religions is be
cause they honestly believe that
through their own particular form
of religion they will find tlis good
which they so earnestly desire.
I As one considers ths sui'iec 01
| religion from this broad viewpoint
lit becomes entirely plain that most
| of the people in the world are be
lieving as their religion many things
fhat are not true.
Kvoiy one will recognize not
only the desirability, but the neces
sity, of exchanging false and er
roneous beliefs about religious mat
ters for positive truth. In no
other way can he grow spiritually.
True religion consists of spiritual
truth, aud not of erroneous beliefs;
hence it follows that one's religion
is limited to the amount of spirit
ual truth be knows, and that er
roneous religious beliefs are only
so many delusions that serve no
other purpose than to obstruct
spiritual growth.
Christian Science aims to destroy
erroneous religious beliefs by sub
stituting a knowledge of truth in
place, thereof, and to destroy out
or the human mind all evil quali
ties by planting good qualities in
their stead. It wages relentless
warfare against all wrong mental
qualities. It seeks to substitute
love in place of hate, unselfishness
in place of selfishness, honesty in
place of dishonesty, and truth, in
place of error. It lays tremendous
emphasis upon the necessity for
"bringing into captivity every tho't
to the obedience of Christ," (H.
Cor. x, 5) as the Bible commands.
It shows that the cause of all
disease and sin is mental, and not
physical, and that both sickness and
sin are destroyed by the evangeliza
tion of the human mentality with
truth and love. It teaches without
any reservation whatever that the'
truth taught and practiced by Jesus,
when understood and applied, is
sufficient without drugs or any ma
terial means to heal the sick and
regenerate the sinner, and Chris
tian Scientists everywhere are en
gaged daily in demonstrating and
proving this to be true.
Every student of religion should
•begin to give heed to what the
Bible teaches concerning tbe im
portance of looking to the mental
rather than to the physical for
deliverance from man discord. "We
read In Romans viii, 6, 7, "To be
carnally minded is death; but to
be spiritually minded is life and
peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God; for it is not
^subject to the law of God4 neither,
indeed, can. be." Again in, philip
viaru; ii, 5 it ia said, "I>et this mind
bq iu you, which, was also iu Christ
Jesus;'1 and in Hornans xii, 2„ "Be
ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind."
These significant statements from
thg Scriptures leave no room for
doubt as to the cause of sin, dis
ease, and death, or tbeir cure. [The
carnal mind is nothing more nor
leas fnan the unregenerated hu
man mind, it is 'he human mind
iu its natural state, when filled
with hatred, selfishness, deceit, dis
pones«.y, and other evil (qualities,
and wi'h superstition and false
beliefs. These evil and erroneous
mental qualities result in sin, dis
ease, and death and in all human
discord.
The command is to get rid of
erroneous mental qualities, and to
have in us "the mind which was
also in Christ Jesus," for in this
AUnd there was not a single sinful
quality, nor any superstition or
false xeligious belief. Thus the
human mind is renewed by the da
gtruction of erroneous and sinful
mental qualities, and the substitu
tion in their place of qualities that
adhere iu the Mind Of the Master.
As ttus renewing process goes on,
sickness, suffering, and discordant
condiiions begin to disappear, and
when W is finished, and every mor
tal thought has been brought into
subjection to Christ, then man will
be transformed from a sinning, suf
fering mortal into a state of peace
and harmony. The carnal mind
wi'h its sin and superstition pro
duces the conditions that lead to
ideate while to be spiritually mind
ed, that is to have the Mind that
was in Christ Jesus, "Js life and
peace.'* Christian Science teaches
that this is the proeisa process by
which human beings are saved from
sickness and sin.
It Will 'fills IA3 Beeu. «■«-!.
xiuA Science healing in every case
is spiritual, and results from the
operation of Truth or divine Prin
ciple in human consciousness, and
not from the action of one human
mind uT>on auother, nor from human|
will, nor from hypnotism, nor from
mental suggestion.
To summeruo the matter in a
single sentence, it can be said that
Christian Science healing is ac
complished through the activity of
right thinking and right living,
and in no other way. can one demon
strat© the Principle that heala.
Mrs. Eddy's Discoioy
Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be
the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, and many peo
i>lo ask what it is that she has dis
covered. in reply it can bo said that
she has discovered the law of
Spirit which is soiritual truth.
Airs. Eddy also studied the mir
acles in the Old and New Testa
ments, aad came to the inevitable
conclusion that all of those events
were correlated by means of an un
derlying spiritual law that had
been known and understood by the
men who wrought them, and she
said thai, if she could discover the
law it would be found to operate in
the same manner now as in Bible
times; that it would be a healing
law, and would now heal people of
sickness and sin and every evil hu
man condition the same as then.
This idea grew and expanded in
her consciousness until it became
the impelling motive of her entire
life. In the year 1866 she discover
ed the law of Spirit, and named it
Chrls/ian Science. After waiting
sine years, during which tim® she
subjected the Principle that she had
discovered to the broadest practical
tests in healing sickness and other
forms of human aiscorra, sue pub
lished a statement of Christian
Science in a book which, she entitl
ed "Science and Health, with. K«y
to the Scriptures." This book (
is now everywhere recognized as J
the «nly text-book of Christian
Science. A great religious move
ment l»s formed around its teach
ings, which in one generation has
girdled the earth with its churches.
The spread of Christian Science has
been phenomenal, and its growth
has resulted from healing. Every
ad her en* of Christian Science has
actually been healed of some sick
.ness, disease or sinful appetite,
and most of them have been healed
of many such conditions. These
facts are easily verified, and are
worthy o? very serious consideration*
Mrs. Eddy discovered the law
of Spirit as truly as Sir Isaac
Newton discovered the law of grav
itation and this fact should be
thoroughly understood. Just as
Newton discovered that the move
ments of material bodies are regu
lated and governed by this material
law, so Mrs. Eddy discovered the
Principle that governs the entire
universe, including every detail in
the lives of men. That supreme cre
ative, governing omnipresent Mind
or Principle is God, the only cause,
the only creator, the only Ruler of
man anfl the universe, _ __ _ IJk
