In a recent issue of the News a minister is quoted as having given Christian Science credit for bodily cures; but he also expressed his belief that "they were diseases that yield to suggestion." Suggestion has no place in Christian Science. Indeed, there is no more place for suggestion in Christian Science than there is room for mistakes in mathematics. Nothing could be more misleading than the entertaining of the belief that suggestion and Christian Science are in any way connected. Suggestion springs from the belief that there are "many minds." It is often used for evil purposes; hence its rejection by Christian Science. Christian Science heals disease, mental, moral, physical,—discordant conditions of all sorts,—by spiritual means. Its method is the same as that practiced by the Master; therefore results are being obtained accordingly. In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy says (p. 406): "We can, and ultimately shall, so rise as to avail ourselves in every direction of the supremacy of Truth over error, Life over death, and good over evil, and this growth will go on until we arrive at the fulness of God's idea, and no more fear that we shall be sick and die." Christian Science is demonstrating the presence and power of God; it is proving that "in him we live, and move, and have our being."
