"How can I heal the body...?"

BEVERLY BEMIS HAWKS

A person's thoughts make a difference in his appearance. Happiness produces a pleasant expression. Unhappiness, anger, grief, fear, worry, have the opposite effect. Miserable thoughts may cause tears and inflammation.

It is well known that one's thinking affects many organs of the body. It is logical, then, isn't it, to assume that changed bodily conditions of every kind may result from changed thinking?

Christ Jesus asked, "How can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man?"^{ Matt. 12:29;} Commenting on this, Mrs. Eddy asks, "How can I heal the body, without beginning with so-called mortal mind, which directly controls the body?"^{ Science and Health, pp. 399, 400;}
