Christian Science Treatment

From the August 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Holiness and wholeness are spiritual facts of God's faultless creation. Healing is the human manifestation, the appearing, of these facts. Each healing of sin or sickness by spiritual means is a proof that we are on the right way to salvation. A scientific solution to any problem through the application of Christian Science demonstrates the ever-presence of health and perfection reflected uninterruptedly by the ideal man, made in the image and likeness of Spirit, God.

There is no formula for Christianly scientific prayer, or treatment. It is based on inspiration, and it is individual, different every time. The practitioner must always listen for God's direction. Isaiah says, "Thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength."Isa. 30:15;

Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health "If Spirit or the power of divine Love bear witness to the truth, this is the ultimatum, the scientific way, and the healing is instantaneous."Science and Health, p. 411; But in our present, still immature, discernment of the spiritual reality of being we often need specific reasoning, or argument, to realize the truth. The argument itself, however, is not the healing factor. The argument serves only the purpose of opening consciousness to the spiritual evidence of the allness of God, good.
