Healing
The church which Christ Jesus
established included healing. not
only the healing Of sorrow and
sin. but Of sickness. The sick ~
well as the SHINING can turn 10
God. divine Mind. and find free
dom. Gods love reaches out
through HIS laws TO everyone.
Those who need healing from sick
ness are not At the mercy of non
intelligent. compassionless mat.
ter. nor Of the erring human mind.
/ They need only turn from depend
ence upon matter and it's modes
10 Spirit. God. and put themselves
under the care OF infinite intelli-
genee TO find the way out. And
this way out IL always found In
lifting up the son of man in con-
sciousness 10 that one understands
spiritually that a mans real self
hood Is as the son OF God. Chris
tian Science makes clear that the
only possible way cut of mortality
and sin IL through lifting up the
son OF man as Jesus did. II Ia
