Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (pp. 476, 477): "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick." She proved the truth of this statement by healing in the same manner.

I have seen instantaneous healings in my own family through realizing man's spiritual perfection. One healing took place when I was quite new to Christian Science. I had been attending the church services and reading the textbook, Science and Health, without a great deal of understanding. But I had seen my sister's little girl healed on two occasions by the prayerful work of a Christian Science practitioner.

Then one morning my young son presented a very fearful picture. Although the condition was not medically diagnosed, from the color of his eyes and body, and his high temperature, it appeared to be jaundice. As I looked at him, full of fear, my first thought was to dash to the phone and call a doctor. Then it came to me that that would be a backward step, as I knew that Christian Science heals. "So it may," ran my thinking, "but this is my child, and if anything happened to him I would never forgive myself."
