“If the right mental practice can restore health, as is proven beyond a question, it is self-evident that a mental malpractice can impair the health of those ignorant of the cause and how to treat it.” On page 179, Mrs. Eddy says: “The evidence of the power that Mind exercises over the body has accumulated in weight and clearness until it culminates, at this period, in scientific statement and proof. Our courts recognize the evidence that goes to prove the committal of a crime; then, if it be clear that the so-called mind of one mortal has killed another, is not this mind proved a murderer, and shall not the man be sentenced whose mind, with malice aforethought, kills? His hands, without mortal mind to aid them, could not murder; but it is proven that this mind, without the aid of his hands, has killed.” In “Science and Health,” thirty-sixth edition, published in 1888, Mrs. Eddy says, on page 220: “It is hoped that eventually our laws will take cognizance of mental crime.” On page 515, she says: “This malicious animal-power (of which the Dragon is the type) seeks to kill his fellow-mortals, morally and physically, and then to charge the innocent with his crimes.” On page 516, she says: “The highest degree of human depravity, which is to be found in this propulsive will power, or Animal Magnetism.” In “Miscellaneous Writings,” published in 1897, on page 222, Mrs. Eddy says: “The crimes committed under this new regime of mind-power, when brought to light, will make stout hearts quail. Its mystery protects it now, for it is not yet known.” In a long article entitled “Malicious Animal Magnetism,” written by Mrs. Eddy and published as hers in the _Christian Science Journal_ for February, 1889, when the _Journal_ was her property, she lays down her inspired teaching on that subject with unwonted clearness. She says: “One of the greatest crimes practiced in, or known to, the ages is mental assassination. A mind liberated from the beliefs of sense, to do good, by perverting its power becomes warped into the lines of evil without let or hindrance. A mind taught its power to touch other minds by the transference of thought, for the ends of restoration from sickness, or, grandest of all, the reformation and almost transformation into the living image and likeness of God—this mind, by misusing its freedom, reaches the degree of total moral depravity. “Does the community know this criminal? He sits at the friendly board and fireside; he goes to their places of worship; he takes his victim by the hand, and all the time claims the power and carries the will to stab to the heart, to take character and life from this friend who gives him his hand in full trust, and has, perhaps, toiled and suffered to benefit and bless him.…
