A WORD ABOUT HEALING

[First of a series of three articles]

ARTHUR CHRISTIAN WEICK

Christ Jesus regarded healing by spiritual means as a necessary evidence of one's understanding of his teachings. He commanded his followers to heal the sick, and they did. Only later did Christians digress, placing their faith more and more in material remedies. Since 1866, however, Christian Science has with consistent results restored the method of spiritual healing practiced by Jesus.

This Science gives a broad meaning to the word "healing," extending it to include the cure of anything that would adversely affect one bodily or mentally—for example, addiction to drugs, smoking, and alcoholic beverages. It frees from immorality and from troubles of every kind, including money and relationship worries.

The purpose of Christian Science is to spiritualize human life with the understanding of Truth and Love, which Jesus exemplified. The Christian Scientist's entire experience is benefited by this spiritual way of thinking, and physical healing is one small part of the benefit.
