An article, entitled "Ways of Healing," made reference to Christian Science in a way which calls for correction. Christian Science there is aligned with views which have nothing to do with it, which indeed are diametrically opposed to it. Christian Science is the revival of primitive Christianity with its lost element of healing. In bringing about physical healings in our time it uses no "magic," but fulfills Jesus' promise: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." It is clear that a patient under Christian Science treatment thus gains confidence; yet this confidence is not confidence in human personality, neither is it confidence in occult powers or material so-called laws of nature. Rather is it reliance on that truth to which Jesus referred when he said, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy we read (p. 495), "Truth casts out error now as surely as it did nineteen centuries ago."
