The physical healing effected through Christian Science is in sense secondary to the main import of this teaching, because Christian Science seeks primarily the moral regeneration of those who adopt its plan of human betterment.
In his recent interesting address on "The Church and Mental Healing" the reverend critic is reported as pointing out as "a defect of Christian Science" that it does not recognize sin or evil.
The statement of our reverend critic, that the teachings of Christian Science are "philosophical nonsense," can best be answered by referring the gentleman to the works that are daily being accomplished by this Science, the healing of all forms of functional and organic diseases, and the reforming of the worst cases of sin and of depraved appetites and passions, works which he could easily have seen for himself in his own city of Toronto had he taken the trouble to investigate.
It is obviously necessary to approach this subject from the point of view of one who has observed and experienced physical healing by spiritual means, and who stands before the question.
The
basis of all Christian Science growth and practice is the great truth that there is but one Mind, who governs intelligently and harmoniously through spiritual law.
