Now with reference to the healing accomplished in Christian Science, in support of which the strongest kind of evidence can be produced from reputable sources, and covering every known disease or disorder,—organic, functional, malignant, or otherwise, diagnosed as such by physicians,— let it be understood that in this healing process Christian Science practitioners do not diagnose or treat disease. Sin, when it is conceived, as Paul pointed out, brings forth death, and disease and sickness are only intermediate states. Sin can only be conceived mentally, and it must be so conceived before it can be manifested outwardly in its many forms. "To be carnally minded is death," said Paul. The pure in heart shall see God, Jesus said, and it is by purification that the healing is accomplished. Does our critic object to purification? Is he entertaining the deluded belief that only those of his particular views can know what purification is? Do Christian Scientists deny the atoning blood? They know that it is the atoning lifeblood of the Christ, Truth, which in Christian Science practice heals the sick, and blessed is he who understands this fact, and the further* fact that this blood is not material.
