Fear is universally recognized as one of the strongest elements of the human mind, the efficient cause of disease and the foundation of mortal misery. Being wholly mental, it can only be eliminated by a changed mental condition, while the attempts through material agencies to destroy the physical effects of fear, when unable to remove the fear itself, are, as has been proven, wholly unsatisfactory.
Christian Science shows the real nature of fear, and the necessity of its abandonment, and presents the only teaching which enables mortals to overcome it scientifically.
In view of the numerous phases of fear we have to encounter from day to day, and knowing the rule in Christian Science, that in order to gain the spiritual fact we must reverse the evidence of evil or mortal sense, we can readily see that the first essential step is to substitute a fear not for every claim of fear.
