Are we receptive to healing?

BARBARA-JEAN STINSON

Sometimes people, especially those who are just learning of Christian Science, wonder if it can heal physical conditions that might be labeled extremely serious or even incurable.

A statement in Science and Health is thought-provoking in this connection and helps to provide an answer. Here Mrs. Eddy speaks of her own work in testing the practical application of Christian Science to people's needs. She writes: "Late in the nineteenth century I demonstrated the divine rules of Christian Science. They were submitted to the broadest practical test, and everywhere, when honestly applied under circumstances where demonstration was humanly possible, this Science showed that Truth had lost none of its divine and healing efficacy, even though centuries had passed away since Jesus practised these rules on the hills of Judæa and in the valleys of Galilee." Science and Health, p. 147.
