as our Lord said, cannot stand. Healing, then, must be of a spiritual
character. Until this harmony exists there can be no overcoming of
hate thoughts, fear thoughts or worry thoughts, and until these are

gracious healing of the Spirit. It restored inward harmony by
forgiving sin, by changing the heart's desires, by bringing the will
of the subject into harmony with the Divine Will of the Whole. Our
Lord's healing was not accomplished by means of suggestion, neither
was it achieved by human will power; it was done by a bringing into
harmony of the heart and desires and will with the Divine Will. At

the Will of God is love, wholeness, joy and perfection, and not
disease, sickness and misery.

inevitable result. Old, deeply-seated disorders die away, and a steady
improvement in the state of health takes its place.

In order to regain health it is necessary to raise oneself up
