For Quick and Complete Healings

CLIFFORD P. SMITH

In the beginning of the Christian Science movement, the Scientists found plenty of difficulty when inducing disinterested persons to try Christian Science either as a curative agency or as a religious teaching. The active and devoted Christian Scientists of that time sought personal interviews with such persons, even by calling on them at their homes, for the purpose of explaining the connection of Christian Science with primitive Christianity and offering to prove its value by actual use.

The present situation is quite different. Many in need of healing are willing to try Christian Science. Moreover, the active and devoted Christian Scientist of today often-times heals the sick quickly and completely after all material means have failed.

Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, put an appropriate provision on this subject into our Church Manual. It is worded as follows (Art. XXX, Sect. 7): "Healing the sick and the sinner with Truth demonstrates what we affirm of Christian Science, and nothing can substitute this demonstration. I recommend that each member of this Church shall strive to demonstrate by his or her practice, that Christian Science heals the sick quickly and wholly, thus proving this Science to be all that we claim for it."
