The Christ working with you

CARL J. WELZ

How can we heal? Christ Jesus really answered the question when he spoke of salvation: "With men it is impossible," he said, "but not with God: for with God all things are possible."^{ Mark 10:27.}

When one is thinking of a needed healing and how it is to be accomplished, nothing is as important as a clearly distinguished consciousness of one's present relationship to the divine Principle, Love— to God. The healer—whether he is facing the need to heal himself or has received a call to serve as practitioner for someone else—does not need to be a so-called advanced student of Christian Science. But he does need to know that the thoughts he is using are just now coming from the divine Mind. If we think this difficult, we are already wrong, for it is as simple as "Blessed are the meek."^{ Matt. 5:5.}

Mary Baker Eddy discovered and founded Christian Science and wrote for us a textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The book records the divine Mind's revelation to her. It represents her very identity as the one who was ready at the place and time in human history when the revelation was to come. Mrs. Eddy was ready in large part because of her desire above all else to share with mankind the truth of being. In receiving the Word and in preparing it for us to accept and use, she did what "with men... is impossible." She made the textbook more than a clear statement of metaphysical truths; she made it the healing message from divine Love to men and women in this present day. It is a fountain of fresh, new ideas, flowing without end for anyone who will come and drink.
