DEMONSTRATING THE UNREALITY OF EVIL

BESSIE L. CARN

Students of Christian Science are sometimes asked to explain how its healing works are accomplished. In the Preface to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says (p. xi): "The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural. They are the sign of Immanuel, or 'God with us,'—a divine influence ever present in human consciousness and repeating itself, coming now as was promised aforetime,

To preach deliverance to the captives
[of sense],
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised."
