BELIEFS NOT TO BE BELIEVED

John O. Bartlett

THE article in the Christian Science Weekly of October 20, under the title of ''Only a Belief,'' has its counterpart in the experience of a man who had suffered most intensely— in belief—by spells each year since his boyhood days, with the ''belief'' that he had fallen on a stub and caused an injury to try Christian Science. In this method he found relief, not only from that ''belief'' but also from other beliefs of long standing The idea that a nerve had become so intelligent as to appear periodically in the role of ''injured innocence,'' would hardly gain credence in Christian Science circles. Suffice it to say that the man declared in the midst of the treatment that it—the belief—was gone, not to the ''grass,'' but probably below the grass.
