These show how the healing is done in Christian Science. The healer must first separate the vile from the good in his own consciousness, so far as he is able, and when he speaks from the standpoint of spiritual consciousness he is God's mouthpiece, and the word that goeth out of that consciousness establishes health and holiness.
