Our critic rightly argues that Jesus did not come to earth to relieve physical sickness, but this does not militate one iota against the significant preponderance of the healing work in his brief earth-ministry.
The results of Jesus' ministry proved that he knew more about the best way to cure or overcome sin, disease, and death than any one who ever trod the globe, and he promised to his followers throughout all time, "Greater Works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Spiritual healing is effected by gaining a knowledge of the truth which Christ Jesus said would make men free, and this knowledge is acquired exactly in proportion as a man, walking in the footsteps of Christ Jesus, attains the Mind of Christ.
If Christian Science was any such nonsense as our critic would have your readers believe, it would not command the attention of an ever-increasing number of intelligent and God-fearing men and women, recruited principally from the older churches, but containing a liberal sprinkling from the great unchurched throng.
I would suggest to this critic, before he again "lifts the veil and assumes the pressure," that he mingle with these people and obtain authentic knowledge concerning them, learning from them that Christ's teachings can be carried into every-day life,—in all their dealings with mankind as vigorously as upon the Sabbath.
In
the Bible we read: "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
