mind. The human agent must never interpose between the heavenly
agencies and those who are suffering.
Everyone should be in a position to cooperate with God in di-
recting the minds of others to Him. Tell them of the grace and power
of Him who is the greatest Physician the world ever knew. He came
to the world to restore in man the moral image of God. Seeing
that Satan was exercising a controlling influence over the minds of
men and women in order to further his evil designs, Christ came to
combat the powers of darkness, to break the control which Satan had
gained over human minds. Make the Saviour the center of attraction.
A minister once said that he could but think that Christ must
have known something about science. Of what could this minister
have been thinking? Science! Christ could have opened door after
door of science. He could have revealed to men treasures of science
on which they might have feasted to the present time. But knowing
that this knowledge would have been appropriated to unholy uses,
He did not open the door.
A Perilous Science
We do not ask you to place yourself under the control of any
man’s mind. The mind cure is the most awful science which has ever
been advocated. Every wicked being can use it in carrying through
his own evil designs. We have no business with any such science.
We should be afraid of it. Never should the first principles of it be
brought into any institution.
[117]
Christ can do nothing for those who are yoked up with the enemy.
His invitation to us is, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are
heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and
learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” When
in our daily experience we learn His meekness and lowliness, we
find rest. There is then no necessity to search for some mysterious
science to soothe the sick. We already have the science which gives
them real rest—the science of salvation, the science of restoration,
the science of a living faith in a living Saviour.—
