A Healthful Religion

Quincy (III.) Daily Herald

Whatever may be thought of Christian Science, it must be conceded that it is a healthful religion. Its fundamentals involve the healing of the sick and the sinner. Based firmly on the Bible, this remarkable faith not only teaches that Jesus Christ did accomplish all the remarkable cures attributed to him, but it goes beyond that and declares that the things he did we can do also, and the disciple who is well grounded and strong in the faith can cause disease to disappear . by the denial of its real existence.

Christian Scientists also produce evidences — not one or two, but in thousands of cases — where the relieved will testify that after trying all sorts of doctors and remedies, when they were given up as hopeless, they had come, reluctant and unbelieving, as a last resort, to Christian Science and were healed.

The one who depends upon reason as his guide will pooh pooh these witnesses as being possessed of imaginary diseases or of nervous physical conditions, which only needed the imagination instead of medicine as a curative power. That a genuine chronic disease is ever positively and permanently cured by Christian Science, these doubters positively refuse to believe.
