One of your correspondents, in writing of the accounts of wonderful healings, which may be read in The Christian Science Journal, seems to find some difficulty in understanding the nature of these healings.

Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," on page 346: "It is sometimes said that Christian Science teaches the nothingness of sin, sickness, and death, and then teaches how this nothingness is to be saved and healed. The nothingness of nothing is plain; but we need to understand that error is nothing, and that its nothingness is not saved, but must be demonstrated in order to prove the somethingness—yea, the allness—of Truth."

Those consecrated workers who are able to perceive and demonstrate this allness of Truth in healing sin and disease, receive payment and gratitude from those benefited, just as those ministers and physicians who have consecrated their lives to the service of mankind receive the fees and emoluments of those whom they have helped. Christ Jesus himself said to the seventy whom he sent forth to do the healing work that "the labourer is worthy of his hire."
