full logic Of material philosophy can
never convince suffering man that
his pain is not real, for the same
mind that produces disease can
never destroy it. Only the spirit
ual Mind as taught by Christ Jesus
can uncover sin and disease and de-
stroy it. and that Mind that was in
Christ Jesus has stood forth in bold
relief turnout the Christian era as
the panacea for the worlds ills.
Therefore 'let this mind be in you
which was also in Christ Jesus
Before Mrs. Eddy discovered
Christian Science, she had been
searching for years along this line
Of mental causation. She had been
studying homeopathy and learned
the mental nature of disease, and
that the higher attenuations of
medicine which contained the least
of the drug and the most mind were
the most powerful. She continued
her Investigations beyond homeo-
pathy to a mental standpoint, with
the question ever before her,
whether matter or Mind heals the
sick.
In her subsequent Investigations
of mental influences she learned
that the carnal will or magnetic
healing was absolutely opposed to
her own ideals of mental healing,
and she turned from it. Surely
God was even then guiding her up
to the right understanding of pri-
mitive Christian healing. Indeed,
she submitted to all manner of
stress and trial, but withal proving
special fitness to receive the reve-
lation of Truth, by clinging so
naturally to her ideal of right and
forsaking the counterfeit.
It was at this period of her ex-
perience that the great spiritual
light dawned upon her conscious
ness. and found her waiting and
prepared to receive the message.
The circumstance which brought
this spiritual awakening and there
by established her conclusions was
her remarkable recovery, in the
year 1866, from an injury caused
by an accident. She was seeking
to console her suffering sense by
reading passages from the Scrip.
lures, when she caught the depth
of its spiritual import and was in.
stantly healed. This was the vindi.
cation of her long search. for i,
was the Spirit that quickened, anc
she knew it.
Now that Mrs. Eddy had founc
the Comforter. which is the "Spir
it of truth. " and which heals thu
sick, she resumed her search of tn,
Scriptures for a scientific explana
ton of it, that she might impart i
to others. She soon learned tina
the healing operates according t,
divine law. and she began to writ'
out her observations. These writ
ings formed the basis of her more
complete work known as '.Scienct
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" which was first publishe;
in 1875.
