Christian Science Healing.
What is Christian Science healing?
1t is the overcoming of disease by
the same method which Jesus en-
ployed, that is, by understanding and
utilizing the infinite power of God
who, according to the psalmist, heal
eth all our infirmities. The results
in Christian Science healing differ
from those brought about by other
methods in that they are moral as
well as physical, and are far more
complete, satisfactory, and enduring.

to cure disease. 1t is not easy to see
how physician can be a follower of
Jesus and yet in his profession adopt
remedy exactly the opposite of that
which Jesus, by his acts, authorized.
This is no insidious arraignment of
the medical profession. This is not
an assertion that medical doctors can
not be Christians. 1t does not i'm

pose. 1t simply asserts what they
themselves sometimes vehemently de-
clare, that they do not follow Jesus
method of healing. Christian Scien-
lists abide by the fact written in the
Bible that "the effectual fervent
prayer of righteous man availeth
much" In one of her books (Miscel-

God and the Individual man. "And

The Re-Dawn

the Morning Star of the Reformation,
was at the zenith of his influence. An
article in the Encyclopedia Britannica
which gathers up the thought of
many scholars says: "He John Wy

discovered the secret of the immediate
dependence of the individual Chris
tian upon God, relation which needs
no mediation of any priest, and to
which the very sacraments of the
Church, however desirable, are not
essentially necessary" This spirit of
che Reformation began to do away
with serfdom and feudalism and to
emphasize the right of the individual.
It broke somewhat the bondage in
which the human mind had been held,
