SLEEP IS NOT A REMEDIAL AGENT

MAX LEVERTON

Christian Science is a friendly, helpful, scientific religion that has come to the world to break the dream of life in matter and awaken mankind to the recognition that Life is God; that Life is eternal; that God, good, is supreme, the only power and presence; and that man, the image and likeness of God, is spiritual and immortal.

One of the many truths revealed by Christian Science is the divine fact that God is the only healer. Confirmation of this statement is found in the following verse from the Bible (Isa. 45:22): "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else."

Perhaps at some time in the past we may have heard a friend say to a member of his family who was ill, "Now go to sleep and in the morning you will be well." We ourselves at one time may have said this or thought it. However, Christian Science teaches us that awakening to life in Spirit is the true requisite for healing.
