"YOU ARE THE ATTORNEY"

From the June 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


WHAT would be thought of a lawyer who, upon taking the case of one fraudulently accused of a crime he did not commit, sat through the trial without offering one bit of defense against the false evidence presented against his client? Such a situation would seem to be inexcusable, and yet many people the world over are experiencing similar injustice every day.

Christian Science heals sickness and other human problems through the spiritual method used by Christ Jesus. His healings were for the most part instantaneous. That is because his thought was so imbued with the unopposable might of Truth and the unspeakable tenderness of divine Love that his defense of humanity was a formidable and total refutation of the false allegations of mortal mind, the false accuser.

He who defined the one enemy of all mankind—Satan, or the devil—as "a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44) was so certain of his application of divine law to any problem that error's false testimony was ruled out of consciousness with the authority of divine justice.
