Healing Is Revelation

HUBERTA F. RANDALL

Is there a difference between healing by medical and by spiritual means? Yes, there is, in purpose, method, even in result. The purpose of the medical physician is to cure mortal mind and body through matter, while the metaphysician's aim is to correct an erroneous concept of man through Spirit.

Christian Science heals what is wrong physically by revealing what is true and light of the man made in God's likeness. In this process, inharmonious conditions of which the patient was not even aware are often brought to light and corrected. As Mrs. Eddy writes in "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 34), "A person healed by Christian Science is not only healed of his disease, but he is advanced morally and spiritually."
