She tells US that this book answered.
her questions ~ TO how she was heal

the spiritual understanding Of the
Scriptures. she discovered the sci-

It's sacred truths can be humanity an

sin.
This new found faith was = living
faith and through her loving minis
trations scores were healed OF dis
eases pronounced incurable. Being
convinced by many infaIlible proofs
that she had discovered the Prtuciple
and rule OF scientific Mind hsaling,
she then demonstrated that Il was
possibleto impart to students IN IN
derstandins Of this Science which
would enable them 70 heal the siex.
Thus was begun the greatest rsligi.
Gus movement and the most effectu.
Al reform in the healing Of sicknsss
known TO recent centuries.
We sometimes hear Il said that the
physical healing accomplished In
Christian Science IL merely the re-
suit Of faith. Let Il be admitted that
faith is desirable. yes. even neces-
sary; this In no way detracts from
the practical value OF Christian heal
ing. rather does II show that this
method OF healing. even from Q hu-
man point OF view. is established
upon a foundation more enduring
than that which supports the gigan-
tic financial enterprises Of . CONNER

the sick are healed in Christian Sci
ence even though the majority are
not prepared TO admit that the meth.

the method but he cannot deny the
result.
We hear . great deal these days
