Ihr Goal Of Proof
From 'he very beginning Of her
discovery Mrs Eddy knew intui-
i'fe.f as jesus did. that men could
be conNnced Of the truth Of the
message She fell impelled to bring
70 them only By demonstration.
NoN.e ne revealed Truth now do

Maser2 Would u hcal2 That was
'ii question Mrs. Eddy recognized
ihA progabe or demonsirabie
ipieci must be scientific; IL must
fcA on solid basis OF fact. from
WITCH unassallable deductions might
be drawn. Reversing this reasoning:
z physical healngs resulted from
nor application OF The truth about
God and man. the truth which she
mad disccrned IN the bright light OF
revelation, then Il must follow that
that discovery based on fact, solid
Tact, must be scientific Hence. the
name Science and because this Sci
cnce was 10 be applied 10 human
needs, u was essentially Christian.
IN other words, 10 was an expression
o. The Christ This is why She called
ntr discovery Christian Science, as
was pointed ont in the beginning.
The goal Of proof which Mrs. Eddy
now set for herself was healing. She
proved the correctness. that IS. the
Science and the Christianity OF her
revelation. by healing others. She
healed those who came 10 her. and
on occasion went voluntarily 70
those Of whose need She learned
Such help was even extended 70
those who had been given up to die
b. attending physicians. Thus. from
the very beginning Mrs. Eddys en-
larging understanding OF the truth
she had discovered was based on a
solid foundation OF proof She later
wrote in regard 10 this vital point

Accommodating proofs during that
carly period OF development OF her
discovery convinced her beyond

employing was ihe method OF the

because it had IN it no human mode
