SUBJECT: Science of Mental Healing

From the February 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 171:21-176:3


"For the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."—Matt. 13:33.

Few people at present know aught of the science of mental healing, and so many are obtruding their ignorance, or false knowledge on the public, in the name of science, it behooves all clad in the shining mail, to keep bright their invincible armor, their demonstrations modest, and their claims and lives steadfast in Truth.

Dispensing the word charitably, but separating the tares from the wheat, let us declare the positive and negative of metaphysical science; what it is, and what it is not. Intrepid, self-oblivious, Protestants in a higher sense than ever before, to meet and defeat the claims of sense and sin, regardless of the bans or clans pouring in their fire upon us; while white-winged Charity, brooding over all, would cover with her feathers the veriest sinner.
