REALITY rs BASIC
1T viii early he discovered that
Christian Science emphasizes the IL
nal destruction Of rim and the heal
ing Of bodily infirmlty, Some Of our
religious friends have offered the
criticism that Christian Scientists
make too much Of the healing olO'
ment. At no time does the human
mind part with cherished beliefs or
relinquish traditional claims until
proof, clear and positive. has been
presented showing that there il a bet
ter way. II Is not surprising, there
fore, that after material methods have
failed and Christian Science treat
ment has restored health and happi-
ness To the individual very much
should be thought and made Of the
healing element. In fact. all Chris
tiun Science practice Is healing in
character whether 1t Is applied 10 bod

discord. The healing Of bodily all.
ments by prayer is the eye. opener"
to the sick and is positive and indis-
putnble proof that matter Is submit

false beliefs which material man calls
