To the Christian Scientist, the Christian Science movement...
Three Shires (England) Advertiser
To the Christian Scientist, the Christian Science movement is the effort to restore primitive Christianity, and by primitive Christianity I mean to a large extent that absolute unity of faith and demonstration spoken of by James, when he said, "Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."
It is frequently insisted that the miracles of Jesus were the result of some special ordination, and that the age of miracles is past. Now the performance of miracles continued, though in an ever lessening degree, for the better part of the first three centuries, that is until the time of Constantine, and the argument of limitation is, therefore, historically as well as doctrinally, untenable, for Jesus himself said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
The works of Jesus covered all the necessities of human existence. They proved to men that it was possible to make absolutely practical the words not only of the 23rd, but of the 91st Psalm. Not only that the man trodden down in the struggle for life might lift himself and say, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," but that the man in the grasp of despair and sickness might shake himself free in the knowledge that "thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday."
