the human
mind that holds within itself all evil.

Our Master said of one of his students, "He is a devil,"
and repudiated the idea of casting out devils through
Beelzebub. Erring human mind is by no means a de- [10]
sirable or efficacious healer. Such suppositional healing
I deprecate. It is in no way allied to divine power. All
human control is animal magnetism, more despicable
than all other methods of treating disease.

Christian Science is not a remedy of faith alone, but [15]
combines faith with understanding, through which we
may touch the hem of His garment; and know that om-
nipotence has all power. "I am the Lord, and there is
none else, there is no God beside me."

Is there a personal man? [20]

The Scriptures inform us that man was made in the
image and likeness of God. I commend the Icelandic
translation: "He created man in the image and likeness
of Mind, in the image and likeness of Mind created
He him." To my sense, we have not seen all of man; [25]
he is more than personal sense can cognize, who is the
image and likeness of the infinite. I have not seen a
perfect man in mind or body,--and such must be the
personality of him who is the true likeness: the lost
image is not this personality, and corporeal man is this [30]
lost image; hence, it doth not appear what is the real
personality of man. The only cause for making this

question of personality a point, or of any importance, is [1]
that man's perfect model should be held in mind, whereby
to improve his present condition; that his contemplation
regarding himself should turn away from inharmony, sick-
ness, and sin, to that which is the image of his Maker. [5]

Science And The Senses.

Substance of my Address at the National Convention in Chicago,
June 13, 1888

The National Christian Scientist Association has
brought us together to minister and to be ministered [10]
unto; mutually to aid one another in finding ways and
means for helping the whole human family; to quicken
and extend the interest already felt in a higher mode of
medicine; to watch with eager joy the individual growth
of Christian Scientists, and the progress of our common [15]
Cause in Chicago,--the miracle of the Occident. We
come to strengthen and perpetuate our organizations
and institutions; and to find strength in union,--strength
to build up, through God's right hand, that pure and
undefiled religion whose Science demonstrates God and [20]
