John B. Willis

TRUTH'S SUPREMACY

Archibald McLellan

One of the most common and yet in a way most unexplainable misunderstandings of Christian Science, in view of its continued and multiplying demonstrations of the truth it teaches, is that it is but a system of mind-cure, in which the healing is supposedly effected by "concentrating" the thought of the practitioner, and correspondingly "distracting" the thought of the patient.
