The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1955-04-16

I've had many other proofs that Christian Science
heals for which am deeply grateful.
The commentary was as follows
Friends our guests experience is good illustration
of how Christian Science deals with the effects of acct
dents Let's talk about it, because you this
approach in solving any human problem.
You'll find that what I'm going to say is just as radical
as it is effective It's challenging, but it heals II may
swer questions you've had because gets down to
the very fundamentals of Christian Science.
When accident happens, do follow the
mon tendency to expect the worst? Do allow fear to
govern thoughts? So often crowd gathers; there's
morbid interest in the nature Of the INJURIES and there
dire predictions the for those involved
But friends, this mental attitude tends to bring the
results fear-what you take into thought has
be Christian Science shows that the effective
remedy is the opposite approach which based
the spiritual understanding of Gods ever-presence and
healing This prayerful approach do wonders
for you just it did for Mr.. Schaefer.
Instead of starting with accident any other
trouble, learn in Christian Science think of God first
We start reasoning with the spiritual fact that God
good and good alone; that He is the only
and every efec also that God is divine
Love and therefore He forever gives His children all
the health and life and freedom they need.
Now it's equally important to realize that is the
image and likeness of God just the Bible says Instead
of assuming that physical being subject to laws
of matter, must gain deeper insight into his true
ture the child of God divine Spirit This leads
the immortal idea of the divine Mind and therefore he
not subject to physical law to injury accident death
In fact he be separated from God
Now what I've said gives you briefly the basis for the
prayer that heals. And friends there's nothing novel
about it. It's of Bible record that the Master,
Christ Jesus never accepted discord death
final What could have seemed incredible than
his refusal the visible evidence when he raised
Lazarus from the dead And only Jesus but his faith
full followers when confronted by dscod boldly rejected
what their told them Perhaps you recall how Paul
Eutychus life when he had fallen from third
story window. He said "Troube yourselves; for his
reads And they brought the young alive, and
not little comforted."
Paul himself gave the basis for such heaings when
he said For persuaded that neither ath, lfe
angels principalities powers things
ent, things come, height, depth, any
other creature shall be able to from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus Lord"
Friends, this method of dealing with accidents is
summarized in these four thong provoking sentences
from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"
Mary Baker Eddy writes (p. 1917: when accident
happens you think exclam, am hurt! Your thought
is powerful than your words, powerful than
the accident itself make the injury real Now
the Declare that you hurt and understand
the why and you will find the ensuing good effects
be in proportion your disbelief in physics and
ALL which the Scriptures declare Him to be-"
