The Healing Faith

To the Editor.

Dear Sir:—To show that "cure by faith" is not a new idea, as was pointed out in your issue of December 17, one need not go to Japan to investigate any "sect of Buddhists." Every Christian can turn to his Bible, where examples of such cures are recorded from cover to cover. The earthly career of the Founder of Christianity, according to the Gospel narratives, was marked by the spiritual healing of the sick, and his example was followed by his disciples and apostles and by the early Christians. Christian Science is a re-affirmation of this healing, and it teaches the modus operandi scientifically. According to the law of God in Christian Science, "faith" is advanced to understanding, so that whoever will sincerely and honestly seek this spiritual healing may apply it to his own needs and those of others.

There is a particular merit of Christian Science which must not be overlooked; namely, that it is not confined to any exclusive set or sect, but is for every honest person to learn and use.
