TWOFOLD MINISTRATION

From the October 1884 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The conversion of man to holiness from sin, and the restoration of his body to health from disease, went together in the practice of Jesus the Christ.

Otherwise the physical health of the healed would have had no solid basis upon which to rest, for the bodily manifestation rests ever wholly upon the mental state.

Sickness traced back to its remote cause, is ever found to be sin. Sin, the tiniest sin, followed to its last effect is bodily sickness, invariably. And sin, by the most thoughtless, is acknowledged to be mental dereliction. Thus have we come to know that every disease is the translation into bodily expression of some wrong state of mind.
