Nature af Evl Christian Science la tha only teaching since tha days of our Master, Christ Jesus, which has revealed evil true nature, namely, lie nothingness. R Is not denied tost disease, discord, and limitation seem real, disturbing, and exceedingly troublesome, but since they can be eliminated, as Christ Jesus proved, does this not prove tost these erroneous conditions are unreal, Insubstantial. and without dlvlna authority and support? The opposition to this theory regarding tha transient nature of all kinds of error arise largely from the fart that such a theory la contrary to body when faith In matter haa been conquered" (pi 425). It la easy to are that faith In Ignorance would never construct a better body; nellhr eould you live In ignorance, for there Is no Ufo In It; nor would you look to lgnoranea for your supply when there Is no substance In It Neither should you look to matter for any good. W are making practical us ot this teaching of Christian Science regarding toe transitory and unreal nature of matter as we begin In this scientific way to eradicate from thought toe Inharmontes of human experience. Prayer and Healing What Christian Science terchaa regarding divine or aplrltual healing la a subject In which I am confident you are all Interested and one which la of practical value, because you ean M'lise ic.'ilninnv, lo ac:'.-dmmi .iiciil iituciiliiin. and IheolnKical i,i;ii'r..!ly um-pie- s iltul It is pospruie tot yourM-liesible lur you mill to hrul and be l.l'dnU L ill .k.i.ill Jil'll'lH LSI a.e plilMCJl to iiiij Vil'MS Wfir-- God a. dei'iaring a tv si the allm-s- a i!: smiii time ot declar-iii- lt nils iiiiih.iniii'ss. which is a fuiitisiiii'iiiiii leaching ol Chriniian Scifi.cc, Itir Hit- alines ol God nil Willi us materiality and mortality There ran be no compromise here; either God la Ail and good, and evil is nothing, or else God is both good and evil. Goodness and evil are opposites and cannot proceed from the same source. Jesus proved evil to be mortal error, unreal in nature, by healing means through purely spiritual Thus hs disproved toe false claim or cause evil effect. When that has toe demented cried out to be left he rebuked this carnal mind alone, opposition to his Christliness and commanded toe evil aptrlte to come out, and they obeyed. The Impotent and paralytic, believing In the reality of incapacity and Inactivity, were commanded to taka up their bed and walk. The man with the withered hand, entertaining an Imperfect sense of body, waa commanded to stretch forth his hand. Jesus recog nixed sin as the source of the trouble with toe blind and Impotent when after healing them he admonished them to go and sin no more. In healing toe woman bowed down with Infirmity, he told her In substance tost she had been bound (mesmerised) by Satan, whom you will recall he defined as a liar, and the father of It" (John 8:44). Here was a new doctrine whereby Jesus exposed evil as a lie an untruth without origin, oontlnulty. or support Today Christian Science continues and amplifies this teaching. It en able us to dispose of evil as a He and the father of Its own He and to eradicate It on the basis of the of Truth and toe nothingness of evil. Let us then oppose and refute (disbelieve) evil, which has been deceiving the whole world with Its lies about man. We eliminate the errors of poverty, distress, disease, In, and suffering by knowing tha truth which makes us free. Matter and Ignorance Compared In your schooling you were taught certain truths; in arithmetic, lor Instance, you were not taught about mistakes concerning arithmetic, but you were taught toe truths and rules which are governed by the principle of mathematics. It waa explained what these truths and rules were, rather than what they were not. You did not study to learn where Ignorance came from nor did you study to find out why you were Ignorant of toe particular subject. Your motive In going to school was to acquire knowledge; your work was positive, and you went about It In a positive way. If you had f tie to school to study the falsity Ignorance, you would have bccu working Since In a negative way. Ignorance has no origin, It Is unreal and needs In and nature only mythical to ba replaced In consciousness by understand!'-- - and Intelligence. not a ' mistake A mathemc part of the pri. ...ia of mathematics. Intelligence docs not enable you to knots that five times five equals twenty-si- x. Admittedly, this Is ignorance or a mistaken concept of the fact that five times five Is twenty-fiv- e. What basis would there be for believing the mistake? Only Ignorance of the fact Obviously, toe belief in the misstatement would be without a foundation, without power or reality, and would have no effect or Influence on you when you found It to be a mistake. To quote again from Science and Health (p. 276), . . . real consciousness Is cognizant only of toe things of God. So spiritual consciousness cannot know man as sick, weak. Inharmonious, limited, or victimized by evil, or In other words, aa being different now from that which Ood created and eternally maintains. Sickness, lack. Inharmony of any nature are mistakes resulting from false beliefs regarding God's true and perfect creation. They do not proceed from Mind. They are lifeless because they do not exist In God, Who la the only Life. They are the inevitable outcome of the falsa concept of life and Intelligence In matter. Physical scientist. Inform us that matter or material structure Is a form of energy or force, which Is but a sense mresslon, therefor mental; at.d ( L ' ian Science re veals matter to 'tly a false belief, because it does n' 'riglnate In Ood nor la It perceptive to or through spiritual sense; consequently It is unreal nothing nr no thing. It might be said that Ignorance of reality constitutes matter or materiality. From tola we may conclude that matter and lgnoranea s: ind for the same thing nothing. However, because of false education It Is easier for us to see the nothingness of Ignorance than the nothingness of 1 matter. You would not attempt to eradicate Ignorance by taking a pill or having an operation. When Ignorance has been replaced by knowledge. no entity has been disposed of, because the Ignorant belief merely vanished Into Its native nothingness when toe truth was recognized. You do not look to Ignorance for for life, substance, Intelligence, health, and yet you have been educated to look to matter and materiality for them. Bt Paul said, Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom. 12:2). and In Science and Health we read.

The healing of any discordant condition is attained when nunian consciousness accepts tha fact tost health and harmony are qualities of being which are inseparable from man as toe expression of God. Life. Ood has made man healthy, harmonious, whole. Let ui then treat the lie of disease as falsity deserves to ba treated, by proving Its unreality through spiritual understanding. Health does not have to bt restored, for in reality It haa never been changed. Impaired, nor last; It Is not something that has to ba brought to man, for ft has never been taken from him; and you can experience the benefit of these truths aa you recognize and demonstrate them. It has been proved time and again that Christian Science heal all incurable disease kinds of when material meant have failed. God, being good, knows nothing bout evil, Including disease, so is It reasonable to support that man eould know anything which God does not Jtnow! No, God bestows a consciousness which knows only Him and His loving, sustaining qualillea -- His saving health" (Pa. 67:2l. One experiences a better aense of health In proportion aa he understands that health la tha true and eternal state of man being. Then It la possible through spiritual understanding to know health, to have health, to enjoy health because it Is the forever reality of true substance. Christian Science has been found squally effective In the overcoming of poverty, discordant business and home conditions, and In liberating and redeeming those In bondage to false appetites. It Is becoming Increasingly evident that these erroneous conditions result from evil thinking and sinful practices. Tha emphatic purpose of Christian as stated by Its Discoverer, la toe healing of sin (Rudiment! Divine 8clence, p. 2), and there are great number of people In all parts of toe world who gladly testify to the fact that as a result of their understanding of Christian Science they have been spiritually reborn and that their prayers are effective In toe elimination of discord and tha restoration of harmony.
