DOES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
HEAL?

today in a most practical way. In all |
parts of the civilized world may be |
found living witnesses to the heal |
ing power of Christian Science. These |
recipients of Gods blessings will tell |
you that they owe a debt of endless
gratitude, not only to the one God
and to His Son, Christ Jesus, but to
the beloved Discoverer and Founder
of Christian Science, who, in the year
1866, discovered the science Of Chris
tianity, and labored unremittingly
and unselfishly to make it available
to the whole world.
The great Master thought and
wrought above and contrary to the
senses, and, by so doing, he demon
strated the truth of his own most
profound statement, 81 and my Fa-
Their are one"-one in quality, but
not in quantity. He was maligned
and crucified for proving the unity
and reality of good.
Mary Baker Eddy, because of her
spiritual recognition of the Principle
supporting Jesus healing works,
which enabled her to annul sense
testimony, likewise arouse the malice
and hatred of worldlings. Because
she trusted ominpotent Love to fill
every human need, she lived to love
and to bless all mankind. "He is brave
ly brave" she declares, who dares
at this date refute the evidence of
material sense with the facts Of
Science, and will arrive at the true
status of man because of it, misc.
p. 1887. Many thousands of Drove,
loyal Christian Scientists, in all sec
tions of the world, opposed by both
medicine and ecclesiasticism, have
achieved such notable success as to
place Christian Science healing far
beyond the experimental stage.
Physical healing in Christian Sci
ence, however, is secondary to the
conquering of sin, expressed in the
deep-rooted vices and passions Of the
carnal mind. There is not a single
known disease or sin that cannot be
healed in Christian Science.
AS an essential in Christian de-
velopment and progress, as proof of
awakening from a material to a spir-
itual sense, the Importance of physi-
cal healing cannot be overestimated.
Regardless of race or creed, one must
experience and understand the Christ
healing before one is really started
! on the road to heaven. AS Jesus
plainly stated. eff 1 with the finger
of God cast out devils, no doubt the
! kingdom of God is come upon you

Scientist attaches Importance to thu

On the contrary, all of his time il

that make for health and happiness
