New-thought or mental science cannot be coupled with Christian Science because they are opposite in theory and practice. They rely on the influence or control of one so-called human mind over another, which is mesmerism or hypnotism. Christian Scientists rely entirely on the infinite divine Mind, God, "who healeth all thy diseases." They endeavor to let the Mind of Christ be in them. This method is safe, and results in regeneration, physically and mentally. The two methods are exemplified by the incident in Acts, where Simon seemed to have success for a time by using sorcery; but finding that Christianity, as Peter and John practiced it, was so much superior, he offered them money for their power and understanding. Peter's reply was, "Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God."
