By eliminating sin from the individual consciousness and inculcating a love of good, Christian Science is laying the axe at the root of disease, and so proving to be a powerful prophylatic.
The opposition shown to Christian Science by professed Christians of other denominations often springs from a belief that the teaching of Christian Science is contrary to that of the Bible.
It is often thought by those who do not understand the Science of spiritual healing, that healing the sick by any but material means cannot be done, and never has been done except by Jesus and his disciples, and because of that mistaken idea it is hard for them to believe that the sick can be healed to-day through Christian Science treatment.
Christian Science is the practical demonstration of Christianity which was preached, taught, and practised by Jesus of Nazareth centuries ago, and it has no partnership with the several forms of mental suggestion that are mentioned by our critic.
At last there has come out from the army of noble physicians one who dares to admit that the healing method followed by Christian Science practitioners has proved to be a curative agency in the matter of the treatment of disease.
Despite
the declaration of the great Teacher, that "it is more blessed to give than to receive," Christians, as a rule, have been accustomed to treat the subject as if the recipient were almost if not quite the sole beneficiary in the case.
