Mrs. Eddy discovered that if a person keeps his mind clean and fixed on higher things, his body will be in good health. The "pestilence that walketh in darkness," and "the destruction that wasteth at noonday," will not harm a true Christian Scientist. Christian Science really makes the sick well. A thousand cases can be cited in this city in which physicians have given up patients and Christian Science practitioners have restored them to health. The Christian Science faith is optimism of the most exalted kind. Certainly if it does no good, it can do no harm. But it does good. It gets a patient into a calm state of mind; it fills him with faith and a firm belief that good health is his birthright and that he may have it. This is half the battle in combating a bodily ailment; and the healer continues until, finally, the one-time sick man walks the street well, cheerful and hopeful. Furthermore, Christian Science raises the standard of citizenship. It makes people clean; they realize that cleanliness really is next to godliness, and that decency and right living go hand in hand with good health and long life.
