A Scientist, in correspondence with a Chicago publication, says: The occasional use of the Master's hand in healing, does not prove that he meant to assure his followers of the essential need of external, or visible instrumentalities, for bringing out the practical application of his metaphysical teachings. But every action had with him its spiritual significance, or mind lesson, and the "laying-on of hands," in each recorded instance, was the most suitable movement to emphasize a lesson just ended, or call special attention to a miracle about to be performed by the methods inculcated. See Matt. 8:3; Matt. 9:24, 25; Mark 1:30, 31; Mark 6:5, 6; Mark 7:32-35; Mark 8:22-25; Matt. 20:30-34; Luke 4:40.
