It iii said that there. are more than
two hundred different kinds of the
Christian religion alone. not to men-
tion the hundreds of other forms of re-
‘llgion that are not Christian. “wit: a
fact that people do entertain widely
differing religious beliefs. in many
instances the differences are irrecon-
cllable, and yet every one believes with
all of the sincerity of which he is
capable that his own particular beliefs
are true. It must be conceded that. in
the main. all people are equally lion-

Pomona xii. 2, “Be yo transformed by

These significant statements front
the Scriptures leave no room for doubt
as to the cause of sin, disease. and
ldt‘atllhtfl' their cure. The carnal mind
'is nothing more nor less than the nu
*i'cgencruicd human mind. It is the

and with superstition and false beliefs.

its "the mind which was also in Chrlal

tho. human mind is renewed by the de-
struction of erroneous and sinful men-

their place of qualities that lnlicrc in
the Mind of the Master.
, ‘As this renewing pl‘ot‘vita goes on,
ulckncss. suffering. and discordant con
ditions begin to disappear, and when
it is finished, and every mortal thought
has been brought into subjection to

carnal mind with its sin and supersti-

Honest Skepticism.
Although the healing or physical and
mental disease by spiritual means was
.widely practiced. both in Old Testn~
t and New Testament times.
‘und' although Christian Science during
the~last 50 years has actually bottled
in this way large numbers of people
from all kinds of physical and mental
thaeases. there are still
people who honestly find

profess to believe in
the omnipotence of
ny who have honest
doubts that the power of God is suffi-
cient or available to deliver from sick-
ness. andthese doubts often prevent
the way to gain an understanding of
the way by which spiritual healing ll
accomplished. ‘
To all such it can be said that Jesus
healed the sick without drugs, and.
what is more important to us, be
tough other people how to do so, thus
proving that his method of healing
physical disease by spiritual means
could be taught to others. and under-

Mrs. Eddy's Discovery.
Mrs. Eddy is acknowledged to be the
,liircovercr and Founder of Christian
chicnce. and many people ask what it
,is that she discovered in reply it can
the said that she has discovered the law
,of Spirit which is spiritual truth.
l in the material realm material laws
;have been discovered. Sir Isaac New.
aton. for instance, observed the move-
ments of material bodies, and con-
ccived the idea that such movements
were governed by 1: law which he af-
terwards dlscovcred and named the,
law of gravitation. This law cannot be
such with the physical eyes, but its ex-
istence can be proved in other ways.
Likewise Marconi gained the idea that
another law existed, and he said that
if he could discover it he would be thl‘
to transmit messages by its agency
from one piirt of the earth to another
without any material wires. Thut law
has always existed and has always up.
erntcd, but it was not until It was dis-
covered thiit it bt’Cilnh‘ available for
human use. It cannot be seen by tho
human eye. but anyone may now learn
how to utilize it..
in much the same way there was
born in the consciousnou of lira!
Eddy the idea that there exists it law
to! Spirlt. she had observed that sonic.
{times great suffering and distress were
produccd by mutt-rial laws. and that
even whole communities were devas-
tated and destroyed by their operation,
hence shc crime to the conclusion that
a God who poasesses infinite Wilt
domxnnd goodness could not. operate
tthrough laws that produce both good.
and evil. Slic. therefore, came to tho
conclusion that God is governing Ills

Source of Good and Evil.
Outside of Christian Science very
few people have ever repspned out tlic'
question to their own satisfaction as to
still,t‘eWer have even a satisfactory!
pcrlencc.
All through the centuries there has
chance. but this belief is necessarily
incorrect. Among all polytlicists, or
those who believe in many gods. there,
is the belief that some of the gods send;
good and that others send evil, a...
they seek to prom-late the latter by
sacrifices and rites, believing that in
this way alone they can escape from‘
evil.
l
belief that the one God crcntcu and
sends both good and evil. The belie-M
contradictions that it has led actually'

posed to create and send cvll. Thus to
escape the belief that God sends both
good and evil. those. who cull them‘
selves nionothelatn arc mly polythe-
tstn, for they actually bellebe in a God;
of good. and in an evil power. or devil.
This in turn makes it necessary for
them to determine in belief the sphere
of activity and the relative poWer of
each. Since the lllblc declares, how-
ever, that God is onmipotout, that la.‘
that lie line all power, monuments
have come gem-rally to believe that
