Prof Herring said.
What is the cause OF the marvel
Gus growth OF the Christian Science
movement. whose effects are felt in
all civilized communities2 Why are
there so many churches being organ
lied and beautiful edifices being be
ing erected- II is gratitude for the
healing which has been accomplished
the healing Of sin, sorrow, suffer
ing. sickness
THE whole world is in need Of
healing. and IL is very evident that
better means OF healing the Ills Of
the world, both sin and disease, than
is In general use today
Christ. the Great Physician.
From the gospels we learn that
Christ Jesus. our Savior was the
Great Physician. who has for all time
set the standard OF perfect healing
before humanity. That many do not
believe in his Gospel. is due 10 the
fact that they do not fully under
stand his teaching, especially the true
nature and philosophy OF the socalled
miracles " hich he performed
The Gospels record many In
stances OF the healing OF physical
disease by Christ Jesus. He re-
stored a withered hand; he healed
cripple and man born blind, he
healed cases of paralysis. leprosy.
insanity. and he raised the dead
Furthermore he specifically com
manded his disciples that they
should continue the healing work
Peter. Philip, Paul and other follow
ers healed paralysis, lameness. de-
formity, insanity. and even raised the
dead in connection with their mis-
siouary work. Indeed, healing was
very generally practiced among the
carly Christians.
Non believers In the Bible and IN
what are called miracles are con-
frOnted with the fact that this heal
ing is taking place today. in their
very midst and through purely spirit
ual means which fact can be deter
mined by any sincere Investigator; yet
they deny the availability OF spirit
ual power over material things be-
ual law and the principle which op-
crates IN Christian healing
zone cause Tor this difficulty IS
the failure 10 apprehend the rela-
between the inner world OF
thought and the outer world Of phe-
nomena and thus TO grasp che mental
nature Of existence This IS due
mainly to the prevailing belief in Z
matter. which IS conceded 10 be the I
greatest stumbling block TO an IN I
