Dr.—of Minneapolis, as quoted recently in the Press, has evidently confused the teachings of Christian Science with those systems which employ suggestion and will-power, and are therefore antithetical to the former. He tells us that "faith-cure, Christian Science, and the like, all come back to the original, premise of the control of the body by the mind." It should be remembered that the mind therein referred to is the human or "carnal" mind, which Paul tells us is "enmity against God," whereas in Christian Science man is regarded as the image and likeness of the immortal, divine Mind, supreme intelligence, or God, and is subject alone to His immutable laws. It follows that happiness and physical health obtain when self-will, self-righteousness, self-pity, and all the rest of the concomitant phases of the human mind, are overcome through an understanding of God and of man's relationship to Him, as taught in Christian Science.
