Spiritual healing has been discussed twice of late over station KPRC, those taking part in the discussions attempting to uphold the amazing contention that there is no Scriptural warrant for the expectancy of this manifestation of the divine power in our day and time; that the Christ-healing is not a present possibility; and that no such healing is being accomplished.

In making such assertions your dialogists deny the experience of unnumbered thousands living to-day who have felt the Christ-touch, and have been healed thereby of sickness and sin. This proves that spiritual healing is possible to-day, and demonstrates that there is Scriptural warrant for its expectancy. The Christ is the same "yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

While this reply is written primarily in defense of Christian Science healing, it is to be observed that other religious bodies are coming to accept and practice spiritual healing. The convention of the Protestant Episcopal church, held in 1928, in Washington, District of Columbia, adopted the report of a committee that had been investigating the subject of spiritual healing for six years, which report read, in part, as follows: "Christian healing has passed beyond the stage of experiment and its value cannot be questioned;" the committee having observed that spiritual healing has become the "belief and practice of a large and rapidly increasing number of persons." Furthermore, the report stated that "vital faith in God, as revealed in Christ," produces results that are more salutary, and of a "more evidently spiritual character," than faith in any "supposed" material remedy.
