Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

To my mind, it is blessed evidence of the universal goodness and impartiality of God, that to every people and nation of the earth He has manifested Himself as Life, Truth, Holiness—Health. The Buddhist Nirvana, the ideal conception of the summum bonum, the supreme good, is the rest of the soul in complete union with God, and in harmony with the Divine Life.
There are, we must admit, certain facts which seem to demand, if not a new theology, at least a new statement of the propositions of theology. Among these facts are the following: the necessity of choosing now a theology, not for a single nation but for all the nations of the earth; the progress that has been 'made in the study of comparative religion; the revision of the Scriptures; the demand for the application of the scientific method to all questions, even the most sacred; the triumphs of Christian scholarship in the study of miracles; the necessity of making theology a balance system; the diminishing of strife among the different branches of the church; the fact that Christian faith and practice have not yet been brought into complete harmony with the principles of Christianity as set forth in the gospel, and that Christianity itself therefore needs Christianizing.

No one who understands metaphysical healing is practising or teaching honestly, in the spirit of Truth, who does not faithfully point out the danger and the way of escape from a mental mal-practice, any more than the pulpit is reforming the sinner and society by concealing, instead of uncovering and denouncing, sin. There are two motives leading to the culpable concealment of the sin that secretly works through mind to accomplish a sinister purpose, to gratify envy or to sate revenge, namely: fear of being found out a mental malpractitioner, or fear of the malpractitioner.

Some people like long, big names for their maladies. A woman came to me with a pain.
We would most respectfully submit a few propositions to our dear friends, and as we would consider the whole world our friends, therefore what we say is submitted to everybody. It is a generally admitted fact that mind or spirit controls the external portion of the human organism, as the hands, arms, legs, feet, etc.
Learn a parable of this period, how it receives Truth as presented to mortals by Christ Jesus. Behold a gigantic mountain, an Acropolis, whose top rests above the clouds in the serene azure of unfathomable blue.
Mrs. Editor,—The following letter, from a prominent lady of Illinois, furnishes a hint of the great good resulting from the circulation of your publications in the North West; not only in a sanitary sense but as a moral check to the scurrilous reports of unscrupulous parties in Boston, who hesitate not to use the letter of your College Text-book, which you frankly publish, and forget to credit you with its authorship: but would defame a spotless character as per example.
The loveliest sight in this beautiful world is that of a child, dressed in white, with a pink sash about her, running, skipping, waltzing across the green sward—under the trees—plucking here and there a bud or blossom—vocalizing the air with ripples of laughter,—rivalling the birds with songs of heart-melody. Is she not a revelation—a poem? Ought we to marvel at the words of Jesus, "Of such is the kingdom of heaven?" But, alas! how often we see the outward grace and beauty in children to-day, without that wealth of mind which is its jewel! The child, taught by its foolish, fashionable mother, —whose highest ambition is to attudinize on life's stage to the glee of devils and the infinite pity of angels—becomes a mere automaton, echoing the words of others, and living over in miniature a life of worldly folly.
