The command to heal the sick as well as to preach the gospel was given with the utmost distinctness by Christ Jesus, and is recorded directly in three of the Gospels, while in not one of these Gospels is there the slightest excuse for the attempt to confine the command to any particular time or persons.
We
are privileged to print the following letter, recently received by the managing editor of The Christian Science Monitor from a friend on the Pacific coast.
It
is interesting to note how constantly Jesus based his teaching upon the objects which surrounded him at the time he was instructing either his disciples or the multitude,—the fowls of the air, the flowers of the field, the wind, the sea, all in their turn served as illustrations to convey his meaning.
Pondering
the promise of supply so well illustrated by our Master, as given in the sixth chapter of Matthew's Gospel, I was recently impressed by the simile in a way which to me was new and beautiful.
It
has long been my desire to send something to our periodicals which should in some measure express my appreciation and gratitude for the good that Christian Science has brought into my life, and it occurred to me to give one day's experience.
To
the Christian Scientist this query is quite sure to present itself, sooner or later; to wit, If evil is unreal, and has no power, why should it be necessary to guard against its supposed reality?
