 Christian Science treatment Is the word of God. He sent his word. | and healed them is the infinite as- sertiOn of fhe Psalmist. treatment is not, then, something that the hll- man mind brings to pass. Mrs. Eddrl explains ehis clearly and on page xxi Of the preface to Science and Health she defines treatment when she says: Many imagine that the phenomena Of physical healing in Christian Science presents only phase of the action oi the human mind, which ac- ! llon n some unexplained way results in the cure of disease" And again later on the same page when she saJs: The physical healing of Chris- tian Science results now, as in Jesus tune, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and dis ease lose their reality in human con Sciousness and disappear as naturally ard as necessarily as darkness gives ! place to light and sin to reformation" It will be seen from this text. tha: ] the practice of Christian Science is i as unlike the practce of medicine as 1 white IS the direct opposite of black. lEe Century dictionary defines medi- i clne as a substance used as a rem edy for disease. ss-bstance having or supposed to have, curative proper ilrs The substance of material l drle is far removed from the sub stnucc ef the healing properties O. Spirit, Which constitute the remedy in Christian Science practice.
