LETTERS TO THE PRESS FROM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEES ON PUBLICATION

You have made a great contribution to an important subject in allowing so much space in your correspondence columns recently to the subject of spiritual healing; but I notice a correspondent says that Christian Science is dangerous because it does not "minister to man's entire need."

I should think he says this because he possibly feels that, as Christian Scientists do not use medical remedies, maybe they neglect the physical side of mankind.

Surely, the very essence of spiritual healing is that the physical body responds wholly and quickly to the normal standard of health as soon as the fear, ignorance or sin that has dominated the mind is cast out by spiritual Truth. Jesus showed the indivisible relationship of mind and body when he said to a man whom he healed of thirty-eight years of physical difficulty, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5: 14). Thorough permanent spiritual healing automatically restores and maintains physical well-being.
