T. M. C. writes: "Why do Christian Scientists hold that their Theology is essential to heal the sick, when the 'Mind-cure' claims to heal without it?"
The Theology of Christian Science is Truth, opposed to which is the error of sickness, sin and death, that Truth destroys.
A "Mind-cure" is a matter-cure. Sarah E. Titcomb honestly acknowledges this fact, in her work "Mind-cure on a Material Basis," in which she grapples Christian Science, attempts to solve its Divine Principle by the rule of human mind, fails, and ends in a parody on this Science, which is amusing to the most astute readers, especially when she tells them she is practising it! The Theology of this Science is based on the action of the Divine Mind over the human mind and body; whereas "Mind-cure" rests on the notion that the human mind can cure its own disease, and the sickness of matter! which is infidel in one case, and anomalous in the other. It was said of old by Truth traducers, that Jesus healed through Beelzebub; but the claim that one erring mind cures another one was at first gotten up to hinder his benign influence and to hide his Divine Power.
