BY GEORGE SHAW COOK C, S. B. Christian Science has come to re- veal that God is divine , Principle, Love, and to show mankind that knowledge of God is demonstrable. Thus Christian Science is reinstating primitive Christianity, and re-estab- lishing the teachings of the Master- Christian as demonstrated by him and by his early followers in the-healing, of sickness and sin. Spiritual Causation Causation, as understood by Jesus, and as taught by Christian Science, is spiritual. This spiritual cause is the one infinite, heavenly Father whom men call God. The scriptures not only declared God to be Father, but to be tfle Almighty, the Everlast- ing, I AM, Spirit, Life, Truth, Love. Christian Scientists accept these scriptural definitions of God without reservation, but they also think of God as being infinite good, as sup- mere intelligence* or Mind, the one ||elf-existent and eternal Life, or Con- sciousness. God is thus seen as the only source, orgin, cause, or crea- tive Principle. The scriptural and Christianly scientific synonyms for Deity give us a BetteFund^falTalng of the omnipo- tence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God. Man is Spiritual -^Trre Scriptures tell us in the first chapter of Genesis that man was cre- ated in the image and after the like - which perfectly expresses its original. â€"tfr-therefore, man is created in the likeness of God, he must be exactly like his creator. If God is Spirit, man in His likeness, must be spiritual. If God is Truth, man, as the image of God, must be truthful, honest, sincere. If God is Love, man, in his true na- ture, must be' loving, gentle, kind, compassionate. If God is Life, man must be and is the living image of life. This man, the true man, the only real man, is not subject to chance nor change. He is as changeless as his eternal Principle. He is not th* victim of lack nor of limitation. He reflects the infinite abundance of Spirit or God. He is not doomed to decrepitude and dissolution. He exists forever at the eternal noontide of be- ing\ _He is always at the standpoint |of limitless opportunity, activity, and ^supply. Ip: Material Misconceptions Â¥ From the material point of view man seems to be nothing but an or- mere machine controlled by a sup- posed intelligence, which is inv* ibie and which has never been satisfac- torily explained by human philosophy. Someone may be thinking, "Why, the explanation is very simple. The brain is the seat of man's intelligence, and it, through the nervous system, con- trols and regulates^ the^4unctions-and faculties, the movements and actions of the human body." But what made the brain intelligent, What gave it the power to think and to direct activity? Who has ever seen the in- telligence^: hat is supposed to be in The~bTatn, and liow do we TcnowThaT it is there? Many people in the Orient befieyg, the, ^at_oMntelligence to be iht m the stomach; and it rpight justTas Well be there as in the brain, for there- is no essential difference between the kind of stuff that constitutes the stomach and that which constitutes the brain.

Disease Mental Even slight recognition of the un- reality of matter is of great practical value in everyday, human experience. Take, for example, the question of dis- ease which occupies the attention of so many people so much of the time. In~lhe treatment of disease, knowl- edge of the unreal nature of matter helps one to see that pain and suffer- ing are not conditions of matter, but of thought. To know this is to take the first step in the direction of the permanent eradication of disease. If, as Mrs. Eddy says, there is no sensa- tion norâ€"intelligence in matter, it is obvious that matter cannot be sick or in pain, and that if there seems to be a sense of pain or illness, it must be in thought, and not in the body. This fact having been discerned, the futil- ity of treating thought conditions, or mental states, with material remedies, becomes evident. How impossible it would be to remove an erroneous mental condition by the use of;drugs, mineral water, mud baths, or even by means of a surgical operation. Yet every day adds to the list of mental causes for disease admitted by'physi- cians. Among the mental causes for sickness that have been recognized by physicians are fear, worry, hatred, and anger. To these Christian Scien- tists would add envy, jealousy, greed, dishonesty, and all flagrant and subtle phases .of sin. Mrs. Eddy's Leadership After Mrs. Eddy discovered this Science of Christian healing she dem- onstrated its truth in many wonderful instances of healing through spiritual power alone. She then wrote and published the great text-book of Christian Science. "Science and Health with Key to the^crjj^tures^ Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, which includes all the activities of this world-wide movement, and of which all other Christian Science churches are branches. She provided this church with a Manual of by-laws, which, she says, if followed in letter and spirit, will prove adequate to guide this great movement throughout all time. The wisdom, courage, faithfulness, consecration, and inspiration of Mrs. Eddy's leadership are daily becoming more apparent and better appreciated. ^rrd^otheT"b^o1cs~orrthe same subject.
