The title of a lecture, "Mind the Cause and Cure of Disease," as reported in the Times, can serve to differentiate mental healing, as the doctor spoke of it, and Christian Science; because Mind, as defined in Christian Science, is God, divine Love, who does not cause disease, nor sin, nor any evil. This is the Mind of Christ Jesus, of which the mind of mortals is the counterfeit; as Paul wrote, "The carnal mind is enmity against God." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 92), Mrs. Eddy has written, "Mind is not an entity within the cranium with the power of sinning now and forever."

The only proof anyone can have of understanding Christian Science is the demonstration of it by healing disease and sin. Whenever anyone thus proves that he understands Christian Science in some degree, he knows that the healing is not done by any trick of mental suggestion or merely by a human emotion, but by the power of the divine Mind, Principle, understood and applied to the case. It is by the law of omnipotent Mind—not by brain or human will—that Christian Science destroys discord of any kind, by the law of harmony. It can produce only good effects, not causing disease, but healing it. "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"
