le
to the destruction of false evidence, and the consequent cure of the
sick,--as all understand who practise the true Science of Mind-healing. If,
as the error indicates, the evidence of disease is not false, then disease
cannot be healed by denying its validity; and this is why the mistaken
healer is not successful, trying to heal on a material basis.

The evidence that the earth is motionless and the sun revolves around our
planet, is as sensible and real as the evidence for disease; but Science
determines the evidence in both cases to be unreal. To material sense it is
plain also that the error of the revolution of the sun around the earth is
more apparent than the adverse but true Science of the stellar universe.
Copernicus has shown that what appears real, to material sense and feeling,
is absolutely unreal. Astronomy, optics, acoustics, and hydraulics are all
at war with the testimony of the physical senses. This fact intimates that
the laws of Science are mental, not material; and Christian Science
demonstrates this.

SCIENCE OF MIND-HEALING

The rule of divinity is golden; to be wise and true rejoices every heart.
But evil influences waver the scales of justice and mercy. No personal
considerations should allow any root of bitterness to spring up between
Christian Scientists, nor cause any misapprehension as to the motives of
others. We must love our enemies, and continue to do so unto the end. By
the love of God we can cancel error in our own hearts, and blot it out of
others.

Sooner or later the eyes of sinful mortals must be opened to see every
error they possess, and the way out of it; and they will "flee as a bird to
your mountain," away from the enemy of sinning sense, stubborn will, and
every imperfection in the land of Sodom, and find rescue and refuge in
Truth and Love.

Every loving sacrifice for the good of others is known to God, and the
wrath of man cannot hide it from Him. God has appointed for Christian
Scientists high tasks, and will not release them from the strict
performance of each one of them. The students must now fight their own
battles. I recommend that Scientists draw no lines whatever between one
person and another, but think, speak, teach, and write the truth of
Christian Science without reference to right or wrong personality in this
field of labor. Leave the distinctions of individual character and the
discriminations and guidance thereof to the Father, whose wisdom is
